tutes one fourth of it, and the rest consists
in sap. Light woods have still much
less quantity of solid matter but the sea-
son of the year aud age ofthe tree occasion
considerable variation.
Timber should be cut when ola proper
age, for when it is either too young or too
old, it will not be so durable. ihey
should be cut in their prime, when almost
fully grown, and before they begin to de-
cav; and this will depend upon the dry
ness and nominees of the soil where the
timber grows. The time of its COM
mencement to decay, or when tbs gong
past Its prime, is when the eoncentric cir
cles are less and less, as may be seen IN
the oak, beech, walnut, &c. These circles
yearly enlarge the trunk by the formation
of a new alburnum or soft wood, which
the next succeeding year becomes the lig-
mum or hard wood.
The wood of the north side OF all trees
which grow in this climate is the weakest
and that of the south is the strongest.
! The heart of tree is never in its centre
but always near to the north side, and the
concentric circles or annual coats of wood
are thinner on that side. In conformity
with this. it is the general opinion of car.
penters, that timber is stronger whose an.
nual plates are thickest the air vessels
makes the visible separation between the
annual plates. Therefore, when these
plates are thickest they contain greater
proportion of the woody fibre.
Timber after being felled and sawed
must be seasoned not by standing upright
but lie one piece upon another, only KEEP
apart by short bio cks interposed to pre-
vent certain mouldness which they will
contract in sweating on one another
Some advise the planks or other timber tc
lay in water a few days, in order to extrac
the sap, and afterwards TO dry in the air
by this means they will be prevented from
cracking or chopping. Some scorch ane
season them in the fire, such as piles
posts, sc. which are to stand in water o.
earth. They are charred and seasoned
by buring them round in strong vioen
flame, until black. coaly crust is formed
the internal part of the wood is thereb,
so hardened that neither earth nor waite
can damage it for long time afterwards

it, in order that they may correct this sad
defect
The first thing TO be done is to abandon
altogether the use of saltpetre in curing
meat. This is Indispensable, and no one
who is told that aqua forts is the produce
of it, ought any longer to use this poison
in pickles or brines.
The best substitute for it is sugar. A
small quantity makes the meat healthier,
sweeter, nicer, and quite as durable. Let
this be known to all our farmers and sail
ors.
How to make brine for meat perfectly
innoxious, is yet desideratum. Gelatine
ought to be preserved in salt meat pure
and soluble, as il is in broth cakes, before
any meat can be perfectly healthy anc
equal to fresh meat But at any rate, b,
Withholding the saltpetre, we divest it O
a deadly poisonous substance.

SALTPETRE IN MEAT.

1t is matter of regret that while so
much salt meat is made and used. we
have not yet acquired the proper knowl-
edge of the best mode TO prepare and pre-
serve ii; nor is it known how noxious
salt meat may become by an improper use
of saltpetre in the pickle or brine usually
employed.
There are various modes of preservin 9
salt meat and fish, by drying, sailing,
picking, oiling, smoking, g.; but
merely mean at present to notice some OF
the defects and noxious properties of our
actual meat, either beef or pork.
One of the main defects appears to
consist In the useless addition of satpetre
to the pickle whereby the meat often
becomes sour or spoiled, and always acid
and pernicious never could understand
why this substance was added to common
salt, except that it is said to make it look
better. But it ought to be known that
saltpetre absorbed by the meat is nitric
acad or aqua tortis-G deadly poison,
whereby our salt meat becomes unpalata.
bic and pernicious A slight excess Of
this acid lenders the meat sour, or spoils
II, as we say. 1t has been suggested to
correct this by potash, which re-absorbs
this excess; but this only hides the defect
without neutralizing the whole poison.
Is it not surprising that we should feed
and deal, as staple of our country, with
an article containing portion of such
active poison as nitric acid? In fact, our
salt meats are no longer meat: they are
new pernicious substance produced by
chemical action OF salt upon the flesh
OF animals. This flesh when fresh. con-
slsts chiefly of gelatine and fbrine.-
Gelatine or jelly, is the substance soluble
IN warm water, forming broth by boil
ing. or becoming jelly by concentration
while hbrine is the fibrous, tough part OF
the meat, which can not be dissolved. and
is therefore unfit for food, while gelatine
Is the real nutritious part Of the meat
But it is well known that salt meat and
even corned beef can no longer afford a
broth. and therefore the gelatine must have
been changed into another substance no
longer soluble, nor so nutritious, by the
Chemical action of salt and saItpetre. To
tnis new substance chemists have not We,
given name; but it is as different from
meas as leather is from The hide before il
is tanned by the tan-bark or tanain.
To this chemical change in meat are to
be ascribed all noxious qualities of sal,
meat, and the diseases TO which those who
feed chiefly on it become liable; sea.scur.
vey, land-scurvey, sore gums. rotten teeth.
blles, ulcers, &C., which we entail on our.
selves by using kind o. poisoned bad
meat, which we call salt.
This important and doleful fact ought

1tmbers Proper Time for Cutting, &C.
Timber includes all kinds of feled and
seasoned woods. Ofall the different kinds
known, oak is considered the best for
building, and even when it lies exposed to
alr and water, there is none equal to it.
The goodness of timber not only depends
on the soil and situation in which il stands.
but likewise on the season in which II is
felled. People disagree very much in
this: some are for having it feiled as soon
as the irult Is ripe; others, in the spring.
and many in the autumn. As the san and
moisture of timber is certainlv the copse
that it perishes much sooner than il OH.
er wise would do, 1t seems evident that
timber should be felled when there IS least
sap in it. or when the sap is most fusible
or in liquid state.
The ancients chiefly regarded the AGE
ofth moon in telling timber: their rule
was to fell it in the wane, or four DAYS af.
ter the new. An Amherst, Massachu.
sets, cooper states that he formerly fur
nished three oil mills in that vicinity with
casks made from oak felled in June; be.
cause. he says, timber feled in winter be.
ing more porous, would not contain oil
and that oak and walnut cut in June. would
not powder-post.
Ihat the moon has an influence on the
sap. no one who has paid attention will
have occasion to doubt: the liber or inne,
bark Is less adhesive at this stage of The
moon. the ligneous or woody matter being
in q more fluid state. Ii has been ascer
