creation, and interupting every other
rural ENJOYMENT. Our rains here de-
scend in copjous showers but are of short
duration. They simply wash the face of
the fields, that they may look brighter
when dried, They do not drench them.
With respect to the question whether
the ultimate clearing and settlement of
the western country will diminish or in
crease the quantity of water in the Ohio
and other rivers, Ito which you directed
my attention in your letter of the 18th
September last, l beg leave here to Of
fer you the result of my reflections on it.
Although the experience Of the old
settlers of this country furnishes no evil
dence to support an answer to this inqui-
ry, in the affirmative, am, nevertheless,
disposed to answer it in that way and
think that satisfactory reasons may be
assigned, why the telling and clearing
away of forests, and the annual cultiva-
ton of the ground so cleared, lessen the
quantity of water which is carried off by
the rivers.
1t has been ascertained, by expert
mcnts, that the exposing of land to the
full force of the suns rays, produces
heat, at the depth of foot below the
surface of the earth, about IS degrees
greater than what is found at the same
distance below the surface in thick
woods. Consequently, the evaporation
ofwater, from all open prairie country,
must greatly exceed that which takes
place where the earth is shaded by the
foliage of trees, and trees themselves.
Besides this effect of the solar heat, in
dlsspating greater quantities of water
from the fields than from the woodland,
the action of winds may be taken into
the account. Winds, it is we'll known,
greatly assist the process of evapora-
ton; and when they sweep along the
surface of the earth, unobstructed by
woods, and other moist vegetable sub
stances, their effect, in this regard, must
be astonishingly great.
From these and other causes, to which,
perhaps, have omitted to look, the in
ference may nationally be drawn, that
the clearings and cultivation Of the
western country has diminished, and,
that, as this clearing and cultivation pro-
grcss, viii continue to diminish, the
quantity of water in the Ohio, and other
rivers"
With much respect. l am, &c.

valued correspondent SYLvANUs, will be
sure to succeed.
To the testimonyof SylUanu8 we can
add ours, that neither brine, nor sugar,
nor molasses, is of any use or advantage.
Last year the Editor was prevailed on
to increase the quantity of saltpetre, put
ting pounds TO 1900 weight; but he
inclines to think it had tendency to
make the meat very hard Immediately
after cooling; he has therefore returned
to the use OF the quantity recommended
by Sylvanus, whose observations convey
several ne7v suggestions, and reasons
tor old practices. As to the necessity of
any brine whatever, even what gathers
III the bottom of the tub, from the melt
ing OF the salt alone, the Editor will here
mention what he has often heard, that
the late Jacob Gibson, OF Talbot coun-
ty, celebrated for his good bacon, as for
his general good management, had holes
bored in the bottom of his meat tubs, to
let even that brine pass off. If, however,
the reader will exactly pursue the re-
commentators of Sylyanus, in the Sc
lection of his meat, and the process OF
curing, he need not fear the result.
H. .4nother zvord in Uindication ofthe
rights Of the house7vDe.-We shall al
ways impartially claim from the ladies
the performance of duties properly with
in their province; but we shall as
studiously resist the imposition of bur-
thens which are alike incompatible with
their position in the domestic circle, and
the delicacy of their constitution. We
mean then to say, that the superintcnd-
cnce of the cutting up, and sailing and
smoking the meat for the years family
consumption, does NOT PROPERTY belong
to the lady Of The house although we
know, that, time immemorial, this task
has been, i'll many neighborhootIs impos-
ed on them. 1t is a heavy, coarse, la
borious operation, which ought to be
done under the eye Of the master. 1t is
his duty to prepare every thing for the
hands Of the coax, and it is not until
every thing for the table is placed in the
kitchen, that the wife should be called
on for her attention.

THE ERADICATOR

Is very large and strong three prong
cd fork, which as lever, by the assis-
lance of a block, is able to tear up any
thing. The bigness of it is SO much
more than dung fork, which it most
resembles, that it seems improper to
call it by such name; wherefore, |
have given it another. 1t is to be thus
constructed: the handle must be long
thick beam, its length fifteen or sixteen
feet, and its thickness such as will keep
it firm against great deal OF force; the
tines or prongs, should be twenty inches
long, notched at the sides, and a little
leaning upwards; and they must be join
ed to strong shoulder Of iron, with
proper fastenings for the end of the
pule: this being carefully fastened on,
the person who works it must fasten a
rope six or eight feet long to the other
end, and take with him thick block OF
wood, and a heavy wooden beetle or
maui When he comes to the first
shrub, or root, he must force in the three
prongs, slanting into the ground, SO that
they go under the root, and the top OF
the pole be somewhat higher than his
head; then with good strokes Of the
beetle, he must drive it we'll III, till the
tines are quite in the ground; he is then
to lay the block under the pole, near
where the tines are; this will raise its
top ten or twelve feet high; and he is
then to lay hold of the rope and pull
with all his force. Those who know
what the effect of the lever is, will be
sensible that no root can keep its place
against this; it will tear up the most
firm, and in some kinds will draw out
hbres OF seven feet in length.

MIR. SKINNER---As l am blockaled
by the snow to-day, thought would
turn my attention to economies, and see
about hanging up my bacon. This is
an article of great importance to us
country gentlemen who live at dis
lance from the butchers stall and as
my bacon has been often praised by
good judges, l thought | would give
you a paper containing my practice in
curing it, for the benefit of those less ex-
perienced. In December l procure
hogs (without any regard to moonshine)
weighing about $50 lbs. each, avoiding
smaller, more than larger sizes.--I in
sist on their having been cornted for
FIVE or six weeks.-If cannot get the
assurance ola man of truth, | trust to
my own judgement. The disposition Of
the fat when not frozen will give pref
ty good criterion, if it appears to be
hard, and crack about the kidneys like
beef suet into small squares Il avoid
such whose fat is more tenacious and in
clined to transparency, adhering to the
fingers, and bearing the complexion OF
| lard.
1.-THE lard when tried and cold is hard
and white, there will be no danger of
deception from any food that we are now
acquainted with, and we may rely on its
being corn-fed pork,--what Ruta Baga
may do know not.
] know of nothing in the cutting up the
meat that deserves much attention, ex-
cept to keep parts together that require
an equal time for curing, so that those
who cut many of the ribs with the Shout
der, do an injury for the shoulder re.
quires three weeks sailing and smoking,
whilst the ribs require but two; | there
fore cut the shoulder as short as posi-
BILE, and the Iniddiing, ofcourse, as long
as it admits.
To every 1000 lbs. of meat put s
pecks of salt, and one third or half a
pound of saltpetre.--I prefer mixing
half ground alum salt with Liverpool
for in very soft weather the Liverpool
will run off most too quickly, and in We.
ry dry, cold weather, the alum Is toe
tardy, i. e. not ultimately to cure, bu
for the time allowed by mc,--so they
correct each other.
This composition is to be we'll rubbed
on, and then sprinkled thickly on the Gu
surface of the meat. There is no danger
of over-salting from quantity, it is length
of time that has that effect. The mea
is now to be laid in good casks, th'
hams and shoulders first, skin down
wards, and then the middlings and small
Ter pieces.
In two weeks the casks are to b.
emptied and all but the hams and Shout
: ders removed, being sailed sufficiently
, whilst those larger pieces (the hams am
shoulders) are to be re-packed- putting
those which seem least sailed loves
among the brine.--A change Of positio
, is absolutely necessary, for the pressur
: is so great, that the brine will not pas
: equally through the meat if it is nc
, once turned. In three weeks from tn
h sailing the shoulders aye to be removed
