CURING Pork AND HAMs.-Sometime since
we had the pleasure of dining with Leonard
House, Esq, Of Housewife, Lewis Co., N. Y,
and could not but observe the superiority of
the pork and ham-jucy, tender and fine fla
vored. They were cured as follows For
pork make brine enough to cover the pork,
as strong ais possible. For every laying of
pork, put layer of ground black pepper, say
about one pound to barrel. Put in three or
four ounces OF salt-petre; this is not enough
to make it taste, and yet it is sufficient to keep
the lean from getting hard. When used the
second time, don't scald the brine This is
very important Mr.. H. thinks brine should
never be boiled.
For hams to each 100 lbs of ham take
nine pounds of salt, five ounces of salt-petre,
one quart of molasses, large spoonful of sal
eratus, and four ounces of ground black pep.
per. Let the hams remain in the brine from
four to six weeks. Smoke them about a fort
night; then pack them away in dry ashes.
Care should be taken to prevent the pork from
freezing; or at least be careful that the frost
is all out when it is put in the brine. More
hams are probably lost from neglect OF this
than any other cause. 1any imagine tina,
because the hams have been in the salt the re.
quired time, they must necessarily be cured
forgetting that if they are frozen the salt can.
not penetrate them.

The FARMER.-It does your very heart
good to see merry, fat, and round faced Farm.
ESQ Independent, and yet so free from van
ity and pride SO rich, and yet so industrious
so patient and perseverng in his noble
calling, and yet so kind and obiging There
are thousand noble traits about his charac-
ter which are rarely met with in city life. You
may eat and drink with him, and he won't set
mark on you and swear it out Of you with
compound interest-he is hospitable. lie

return by way Of compassionate is gener-
GUS not so with every body. He ia generally

The HEALTH AND COMFORT OF HORSES SA-
cRIElcED.-This is thing which may be seen
almost every day. The ways in which it is
done are manifold. The health and comfort
Of mans noble servant are sacrificed in the
stable, ON the road, and also when tiedup with
out shelter from cold and wind, while his mas
ter is coozily enjoying himself by warm
freside. The feelings Of every one who has
any compassion in theconstitution of his ma
ture, must often. DO panied by sights which SO
often come before him of fhescomfort of the
noble horse so horribly neglected, and heed
lessly sacrificed. 80 y
One of the ways in which this is done is
probably little considered, Many owners Of
horses, probably, shut them upin close, unven-
tillated and perhaps dark stables, without its
once occurring to them that they are thus in
juring the health and destroying the comfort
Of their animals. The stencil and pungency
which meet one on opening the stabe-door in
the morning, might make some think of this
matter who do not seem to. If they were
shut up night or few hours in their owr
stable, perhaps then they might A horse can
not breath the atmosphere of many stables
without injury to his eyes, and especially tc
his lungs Or respiratory organs. AS this is
the season when horses are being stabbed, pas
turing being about over, it would be we'll 70,
many horses and for their owners too, if they
would see that their stables are provided with
means Of ventilation, and that every source
| Of pungent and foul smells be removed as
early and as etfectually as possible. Country

NosE AND L1rs.--A sharp nose and thin

signs of shrewish disposition. As crimi-

SPIRAL 5cALEs,-Tho opposition to the use
OF spiral scales, in market, has become SO strong
in Washington that the Common Council there
has ordered an inquiry into the expediency
Of dispensing with them. Frequent use must

with them, by which an expert and unfair
hand can gain from half to a pound, is the
strongest objection. Farmer.
