CCR1NG HANS. Mr.. a. II. Campbell sends to
the Wheeling Gazette, the following mode of cur
ing hams, which took the prize at the late fair at
that place:
After the meat is thoroughly cooled, cut and trim
the hams very close anu then rub them well with
salt, pack close in barrel and after LAYING there
three or four days make brine OF the following
ingredients: To every 100 lbs. hams allow gal
Ions water, lbs. salt, lbs. sugar OF. s;eratus
The brine should be boiled and the scum careful
~ taken of; when cold pour it on the meat-tronn
to weeks should be allowed according to the
size of the hams and the temperature of the cear)
for the meat to remain in pickle. After the meat
is hung up allow two or three days to dry, then
smoke with little fire possible-use green
hickory, with sasafras in small quantities. Soon
as the meat is sufficiently smoked each ham is
taken down and carefully wrapped in paper, then
bagged to prevent the depredations Of flies, and
hung in cool, dry place, out of the reach of rats
and mice.
THE NEEvBoLD RECEIPT The following is the
famous Newbold receipt, which has acquired So
much celebrity:
Z lbs. coarse salt, lbs. brown sugar, or pear
lash, gallons of water. Boil all together, and
scum the pickle we'll When cold, put in on the
meat. Hams to remain in weeks-beef weeks
The above is for 100 lbs. weight.

THE Results OF MANURE ON PEAR TREE.
In late number of Moore's New Yorker, Linus
Cone, of Oakland county, Michigan, informs us of
an interesting experiment with high manuring.
Twenty-Five years ago, he planted Summer Bon
chreten pear tree, the culture of which, after few
years, was neglected. The fruit at first was fine,
specimens often weighing nearly pound each, but
afterwards grew gradually smaller till nearly worth
less. The tree was then we'll pruned, washed with
ley, and the ground well spaded with no improve
ment Last spring twenty bushels Of manure from

WATER PRooF Doors AND SHOES The Feb
ruary number Of the American Farmer has the
following recipe for rendering boots and shoes wa
ter proof, which the Editor says he has tried with
perfect success;
"Take one pint OF boiled linseed oil, two ounces
bceswax, two ounces of spirits of turpentiue, and
two ounces of burgundy pitch. Let them be care
fully melted over slow fire. With this mixture
new boots and shoes are to be rubbed in the sun,
or little distance from-the fire with a sponge or
brush This operation should be repeated without
wearing them, as often as they become dry, until
they are fully saturated, which will require four or
i've times brushing; by this, the leather becomes
lmpervious to water The boot or shoe, thus pre-
pared, lasts much longer than common leather it
acquires such paliabiIity and softness that it will
never sirvel nor grow hard and in that state is the
most efectual preventive against colds, dc. 1t is
necessary to remark that shoes and boots thus pre-
pared ought not to be worn until they become
perfectly dry and elastic; as in the contrary case
the leather will become too soft, and wear out
much sooner than it otherwise would"

LIST OF STEAMBOATS, IN THE UNITED STATES.
We indebted to A. Guthrie, esq, Steamboat in
spector for the following list of steamboats, in the
United States.
The list shows that the western cities have the lar
gest numbers-St. Louis taking the lead, and Gin
cinnati next in the figures. The eastern Cities how
ever, exceed in the proportion of tonnage; New
York with 90 boats gives tonnage of 81 447 tons
while ST. Louis with 126 boats only gives O,94S
tons.

PROPER TINE FOR SLAUGHTERING ANIMALS. 1t
has lately been discovered by French chemiss,
that the flesh of animals which are killed in the
latter part of the night will keep much longer with
out sailing, than it will when they are killed
in the daytime. This proves that the flesh is bet
ter fitted for keeping, when the life and blood is
taken from the animal at the time the temperature
is the lowest and the Precipitation is the least &C
tive. Hence the reason that the flesh from the
animals that have been highly heated, or hard
driven, will scarcely keep at all.

SHORT RULE FOR MEASURING Conn, OR ANY
THING ELSE IL BULK. Ascertain the solid feet
contained in the bulk to be measured, by multi
plying its length, width and height together then
multiply this product by and divide by 10, and
you have the number of misunderstanding one
half for cobs, the other half will be the amount of
when shelled. Or, for shortness, multiply the
number of solid feet by four and strike off the right
hand figure. Proof-The number of cubic inches
in solid foot (l72s} are to the number contained
in busheI (2l5O 2-5) as to 10, that is, solid
foot is (eight-tenths) $40 of bushel, hence, if
You multiply the number of solid feet contained
in bushel by 8, and divided it by 10, you have
it reduced to bushels.

wide, and high-how many bushels of corn with
out cobs does it contain? 1nswer-1O5O bushels.
