Curing Reef aud Pork.

At the request of number of subscri-
bers, we re-publish, for the fourth or fifth
time, our mode of curing beef and pork,
which has been used so generally in this
community, and which we believe to be
the very best now in use. 1t is this:-To
one gallon Of water, take one and half
pounds of salt, half pound of sugar, and
half ounce of saltpetre. In this ratio the
pickle to be increased to any quantity de-
sired. Let these be boiled together, until
all the dirt from the sugar, (Which will
not be a little,) rises to the top and is skim
med off. Then throw it into a tub to
cool, and when perfectly cool, pour it over
your beef or pork, to remain the usual
time, say four or five weeks. The meat
must be well covered with the pickle, and
should not be put down for at least two
days after killing, during which time it
should be slightly sprinkled with powdered
saltpetre.
P. S. Several of our friends have omit
ted the boiling of the pickle and found it
to answer equally as well. 1t will not an
swer quite so well, however. By boiling
the pickle, you purify it-for the amount
of dirt which is thrown off by the opera
alton, from the salt and sugar, would sur
prise one not acquainted with the fact.

Curing Hams for Private Use.

| beg leave to present to the public, says
a correspondent of the Maine Farmer, my
manner of preserving hams. | turn my
barrel over a pan or kettle, in which
burn hard wood for seven or eight days;
keeping little warm water on the head
of the barrel, and prepare pickle by put
ting SIX gallons of water in boiler, with
l2 pounds of salt, IL ounces of salt-petre,
and 2 quarts of molasses. This | stir
sufficiently TO dissolve the salt, &C., and
let it boil and skim it. / then let it cool
and pour it on my hams, and in one week
have smoked ham, very tender, of an
excellent flavor, and well smoked. When
the weather becomes warm there will be
a scum rise on the pickle. By keeping
my hams under pickle, it will keep the
year round. 1t is better to have good
oak barrel than any other. Try, it, and
if you ever had meat smoked earlier after
killing, and more palatable, please inform
the public through the columns of your
paper.

The State Of DeSeret.

The Mormons residing in the valley o
the Great Salt Lake have framed a consti-
tuition for state government, which is to
be submitted to Congress at its next ses-
sion, and which is to govern them until
Congress shall authorize some other form
of government. The document is the
result Of the labors of convention held
in their city in March last. of inhabitants
residing in that portion of California lying
east of Sierra Nevada.-They have cho-
sen as the title of their State the "State
of Deseret." the Mormon epithet for the
Honey Bee," significant of industry and
its kindest virtues
The constitution is in the usual form
of such documents among our new states.
The three departments of government.
Legislative, judicial and executive, are es-
tablished. The Legislative is to consist
OF two houses, the members of which are
to be 'free white male citizens Of the Uni
ted States,' and bound by oath to support
the constitution of the same. A governor
and lieutenant governor with the customa-
ry officers, compose the executive, and
the Judiciary consists of supreme court,
with such other tribunals as the legisla-
ture shall establish.
The declaration of rights guarantees a
perfect freedom to worship God accord
ing to the dictates of conscience, and the
Legislature cannot establish any one reli-
gion to interfere with any mans mode of
worship, provided he does not disturb the
public peace; nor disturb others in their
religious worship Not a word is said
about slavery, and as the Mormons are all
or nearly all, from free states, the proba-
bility is that the idea of introducing slaves
into their territory has not been entertain
ed at all.
These are the main features of this in.
teresting document, and their liberal en-
lightened character must please all A mer-
lean citizens. The general assembly a
dopted the instrument in July, and cleo
ted Almon w. Ba bbitt as their delegate
and representative to congress to urge up
on that body the admission of the new
state into the Union.

Grass Seeding.

There exists much diversity of opinion
among the farmers as to the requisite
quantity of seed to seed an acre OF grass
While some suppose five or SIX pounds
of common red clover is sufficient for an
acre, others say twenty or twenty-five
pounds is little enough. 1t is highly i'm
portant to success in farming that the far
mer obtain definite knowledge upon the
subject. There should remain no guess
work upon point so easily illustrated by
experiment as this subject may be. A
little care and pains taking if properly di-
rected, will lead to results that shall not
fail to show what the true quantity per
acre should be. l have always noticed
that our best managers in farming use
much more seed than those who are less
experienced and less successful, | am
also told that farmers of Great Britain, in
laying down lands to grass, use much
larger quantity to the acre than farmers
do in this country. Now, whether they
use more than is necessary, experiments
alone will determine. Those wishing to
arrive at satisfactory conclusions, testing
the truth of this or that mans say upon
the point, have only to set themselves
about a few simple experiments. To
this end, let one square rod of ground,
suitably prepared be laid down with Civ
en- quantity and another with still great
er, and 80 on, as far as it may be thought
proper to extend the course Of experiment.
ing. Then, when the grass shall be suf1i-
ciently grown, cut each by itself, and care
fully keep them separate and weigh them.
The result cannot fail to show in some
degree the quantity most proper to be al
lowed. In the same way it may be found
how far it may be best to mix grasses,
what kinds and proportions are best on the
different soils and situations. Upon a
subject of such vital importance to Ameri-
can husbandry as is that of grass growing.
darkness upon the primary points should
not be allowed to veil the mind. | could
wish to see my countrymen on the right
hand and the left, aiming mentally to ad-
vance the public veal by thorough wa
king up to this important subject.

In ls43, at the request of her Majesty's
principal Secretary of State for the Home
Department, Edwin Chadwick, Esq. drew
up "a report on the results of a special in
quiry into the practice of interments in
towns Mr.. Chadwick states, that, upon
a moderate calculation, the sum annually
expended an funeral erpe,,ses, IN Eng
land and Wates, as tiUe millions ofpo,ads
sterling, and that four of these millions
may justly set down as expended on
the mere fopperies in death. Evelyn says,
that his mother requested his father, on
her death-bed, to bestow upon the poor
whatever he had designed for the expenses
of her funeral. Speaking of this abomin-
able misapplication of money, writer in
the London Quarterly ReUieac, exclaims
TO what does it go? To silk scarfs
and brass nails-feathers for the horses
kid gloves and gin for the mutes-white
satin and black cloth for the worms. And
whom does it benefit? Not those whose
unfeigned sorrow makes them callous, at
the moment, to its show, and almost to its
mockery-not the cold spectator, who
sees its dull magnifcence give the lie 20
the preachers equality of death-but the
lowest of all low hypocrites, the hired
mourner,' &c. 1t is calculated by Mr..
Chadwick, that EGO to glO0 are necessa-
ry to bury an upper radesman-g25O for
a gentleman-g5O0t to $1,000 for noble
man.

VALUABLE RECEIPT.-The Ledger says
the following is an excellent receipt for
keeping a stove bright by two applications
year.
Make weak alum water, and mix your
British lustre with it, perhaps two tea
spoonfuls to gill of alum water; let the
stove be cold, brush it with the mixture,
then take dry brush, rub the stove till
it is perfectly dry. Should any part, be-
fore polishing, be so dry as to look grey,
moisten it with wet brush and proceed
as before said.
