Editorial
Here is a little Prairie Farmer toast that we like, and though we get such often, we never tire of it. It was prepared by Mr. J. W. Hall, of Bates Co., Mo.: “The Prairie Farmer, the Western man’s friend. It grows better all the time; may it continue the good work.” We respond to all such toasts by striving to better deserve them every week in the year.
Our esteemed correspondent, Alex. Ross, this week tells farmers how they may keep their pork fresh for summer use. It will be generally regretted, we fear, that Mr. Ross did not contribute this article earlier in the season. It is timely to those who have not yet salted their pork, and for those who have, the recipe will keep, as well as the pork, until another season. Do you all file The Prairie Farmer?
The Smiths have it this week! We mean J. M. and J. A., one in the Horticultural and the other in the Dairy department of The Prairie Farmer. If any agricultural paper of this week contains two more valuable essays than these two, that is the publication we should like to see. The dairymen have a little the best of it, for dairymen all need good gardens, and hence both essays meet their cases, but the “Farmer’s Garden” is alone worth the subscription price of the paper to every farmer. Ought not the dairymen to subscribe for two copies?
