MAKING BACON.

This is the season for curing HAMS" as some
call the process of making bacon.
Every body knows how to make bacon, but very
few succeed in making that which is good. wrl-
ter over the signature of al. NJ" in the last Far
mer's Cabinet, remarks that "to cure hams thor
oughly so as to have them sufficiently salt to keep,
and not too salt to give them the real Jersey flavor,
is delicate operation, and requires nice hand
lied upon for making first rate ham. To so lbs.
of hams, take four ounces of brown sugar, three
ounces of sapetre, and one pint of fine salt pull
verize and mix them thoroughly; rub the hams well
all over particularly on the flesh side, and lay them
on boards for 36 or 4S hours; then pack them IN
casks, adding two quarts of fine salt to every so
lbs. of hams In Is or Is days they may be hung
up TO smoke"
The same writer says-six lbs. of fine salt, four
ounces of satpetre, one and quarter lbs of brown
sugar. make good proportion for 100 lbs. of beef.
In 24 hours pickle that will bear an egg endways
should be applied.

FALSE POETS AND TRUE.

Look how the lark soars upward and is gone,
Turning spirit as he nears the sky
His voice is heard, but body there is none
To fix the vague excursions of the eye.
So, poets songs with us, tho they die
Obscur'd, and hid by death's oblivous shroud,
And earth inherils the rich melody,
Like raining music from the mornins cloud.

The noisy day is deafened by a crowd
of undistinguished birds, twitterng lace
But only lark and nightingale iorlorn

WHAT SHALL BE THE END OF THESE

When another life is added

When another breath of being

When the first cry, weak and piteou1,
Heralds long enduring paih,

When the mothers passionate welcome
Souowlike bursts forth in tears,
And the sirc's selCgratulution

When across the infant features
Trcmbles the faint dawn of mind,
When the heart looks from the windows

When the lncohefon' murmurs

When the canvass of his vessel
Flutters 70 the iavolng gales,
Years of solitary exile
Hid behind its sunny sails;
When his pulses beat with ardor,
And his sinews stretch for toll,
And a hundred hold cmprses

WHAT CAUSES DUSTY HAY.

Every farmer has probably observed,
that sometimes after hay has been in the
barn for time; on removing il, much dust
arises from il, and this too, when IL was
apparently clean and dry when il was put
into the moys. We have never been sa-
iisfed in regard to the cause Of this. A
writer in the Massachusetts, Plough,
man." on The subject of making hams tight
by clap.boarding or shingling them, thinks
tha, il is injurious 10 make them tight, and
says that the hay wall become " dusty and
smoky" when that kept in more open
barns will remain bright and good, if ID 10
secured in good order. The editor Of the
" Ploughman' endopes.,he opinion. and
observes that he has known "numerous
instances Of spoiled hay in consequence OF
tight loading" $50
Can any Of our readers throw any light
upon the subject Does hay, when cut in
good season, well made, and put into
stacks. ever become dustyi Some attri-
butte this dust to the hay being late cut, and
to its accommodating dust from the atmos'
pherc which adheres to the hay. IL this
were the case, why does not the dust show
itself while getting the hay in, as plentiful.
ly as afterwards! If il be true that tigh.
barns are actually injurious to hay, il ought
to be generally known; for it would save
much expense which many incur with a
belief that il is best; when they would not
incur the same il it is actually damage
TO the fodder. Maine Farmer.
Strange that farmer should ask such
question. Hay that smokes when re-
moved from the nov, was imperfectly
cured. There is no exception to this rule,
except in cases where the barn is open or
leaky overhead, so that The fermentation is
produced by water let into the hay on the
now. We say this as an editor, not as a
lawyer, but as one experimentally &C.

ing il out. Any farmer who has passed
through The world thus far with his eyes
open, can tell why hay smokes, lit smokes
at all, when thrown from his scaffolds or
stack--for hay stacked out is as liable to
smoke as any other, and perhaps more So
for the notion has prevailed that less cur
ing was necessary in this mode Of storage.

THE ETERNAL HOME.

When for eternal worlds steer,
And seas are calm and skies are clear.
And faith with lively exercise,
And distant hills Of Canaan rise,
NY soul for joy then slsps her wings
And loud her lovely sonnet angs.
Tn going home.
With cheerful hope her eyes explore
Each landmark on the distant shore;
The trees Of life, the pastures green,
The golden streets, the chrystal steam;
Again for joy she claps her wings,
And loud her lovely sonnet sings
I'm going home.
The nearer still she draws to land,
More eager oil her powers expand;
With steady helm and free bent sail
Her anchor drops within the vale.
With heavenly joy she folds her wings
And the celestial sonnet sings,
I'm now at homo.
