CURING BACON WITHOUT SMOKE.
ooh the trouble folks have taken
To smoke and spoil the bacopf'

To smoke the best bacon, fat your hogs
early and fat them well. By fatting early
you make great saving in food, and well tat
tened pork. Then kill as early as the wealth.
err will allow, and salt as soon as the animal
heat is gone, with a plenty of the purest salt
and about half an ounce of saltepetere to one
hundred pounds Of pork.
As soon as the meat is sailed to your taste,
which will generally be in about five weeks
take it out, and if any of it has been coyfs1d
with brine, let it drain a little. Then takt
black pepper, finely ground. aud dust or the
hook end as much as will stick, then hang il
up in a good, clean, dry, airy place. If all
this is done as it should be, (t ought to be
done now,) you will have no further trouble
with it, for by Ay.time in ~thespring, you. ba'
can is so well cured on the outside, thatsHiei
or bugs will not disturb it.
Curing bacon is like the I%rishman's mode
of making punch. He said-"put in the
sugar, then fill it up with whiskey, and every
drop of water you put in after that spoils the
punch. Just SO with curing bacon, alter fol
lowing the directions given above, and every
" drop ofssmoke you put about it, spoils tn
bacon.-Portqge Democrat.

cruel. The food of the lsborers was coarse
and deficient ; their clothing was incompara-
Div more so, and their lodgings were rude
and uncomfortable. The houses even OF the
wealthy, were mostly destitute of glass win
dows and ehimneys. The floors Of the peas
ants houses were of clay, and filled with the
accumulated filth of many years. Ihe lux;
ury of linen was confined to the rich and
high born. Their wooden cloth was all do
nestle manufacture. Tea and coffee, and to
a great extent sugar, were unknown. Beer
was the universal beverage. The higher

How TO WNrER ONE HUNDRED SHEEP ON
AN ACRE AND 4 HALF or LAND.-The Maine
Farmer, tells how to winter one hundred
head Of sheep on two acres of land But l
have done betterthan that. This is the way
l do it, and not on rich, ~highly.manured
land
l take for the purpose nothing more than a
common wheat soil if rich, the growth is
apt to be too large. l pillow it deeply, har-
row it well, and about the Goth Of June SOW
two and a half bushels of corn. | use tho
large variety /; pillow in with shovel, pillow, or
cultivator, and if weeds try to grow among it,
they will get heartily tired of such a sickly
life, and try to grow among something else
the next time leave standing until the leaves
get scared, and the crop loses weight some ;
then cradle down when dry, and put up 10
loose shocks, tie at the top with rye straw,
and leave standing until wanted for feed; it
maybe fed cutNshort, or as it is on clean
ground.
In this way | have wintered one hundred
head of sheep without grain, and 10 good or.
der, on an acre and. a half Of land. / have
not had a.better clip Of wool, nor lost fewer
sheep, Rob raised a better crop Of lambs fol
live wears, than | have dcne this spring

How no MAKE One FARM EQUAL TO T9REn
In o recent address by G. T. Stewart, Esq,
before the Ohio Agricultural, Society, he thus
speaks on this subject:
Many farmers are destroying the prodac-
~tiveness of their farms by shallow work. As
they find that their crops rediminishing they
think only of extending their acres Of surface,
as they supposedaheir ttleydeeds only gave
them a right to six inches Of earth. If they
will take those deeds, study -their meaning,
and. apply theless0p.to their fields, they will
soon realize hree fold crops, the fact that
the tan yen them three farms where
they III they had only one, in othcr
words that hesub-soil, brought up and com
biusa VIII the top soil, and encircled with
the atmospheric influences, and those other
elements which agricultural science teach
them toapply to their ground, will increase
three fold the measure Of its rroductiyeness."

SALT FOR ANIMALs.-Professor Simonds,
Veterinary Inspector to the Royal Agricultu-
raj Society, observes, in relation to the action
Of salt on the animal economy, that " it is ex-
ceedingly beneficial in moderate quantities,
but prejudicial in large ones" He thought
horses might take with advantage from an
ounce and a half to two ounces Of salt dali
ly; but that an excess og.it would render an
finals weak, debilitarea and unfit for exertion.
Similar facts were applicable also to oxen,
which accumulate flesh faster by the judi
cious use of salt, than without it. HeeIed
Arthus Young and Sir John Sinclair, to show
that salt had u tendency to prevent the rot in
sheep. Prof. s. added as his own opinion,
that salt, by its action on the liver, and the
supply of soda yielded to the bile, led to a
greater amount of nutriment being derived
from the food. The substance, he said, wat
also well known as q vermifuge, destroying
many kinds Of worms in the intestines Of an
finals, and comforting a healthy tone Of actor
which prevented their re-occurrence. Sever
al members of the r. A, Society, as Col
Challoner and Mr.. Fisher Hobbs, stated tina
their experience led themto agree with Prot
lSimonds in regard to the value of'salt for an
limals. In reference to the mode Of givin,
it, the practice Of placing large Jumps a
rock salt in fields or yards, where II was "A
cessible to the stock, was mentioned with ap
probation. The practice is now adopted B
many farmers in this country, and after ses
eral years trial, is preferred to the forme
mode Of giving salt periodically. When al
imals are only allowed to-have salt once 3
twice a week, it is sometimes the case TIL
they eat too much at once, but by having
constantly intheir reach, they eat such quar-
titles as their system requires, and it assist
!. the digestion, and promotes health and thrift

For the Green Mountain Freeman,
AN APPEAL.

AN APPEAL.
Freemen Of the North, awake!
From your lelhargy arise!
The cause Of Freedomis at stake,
And precious human lives.
Our brothers dear, on Kansss' plains
Are struggling for the right,
And will you tamely see them slain
By those whose right is might!
You would not that they prove
or Pilgrim sires, unworthy sons,
But in the march of Freedom move,
Until the victory is won;
Or in the contest bravely die,
And trust their fate to God,
Rather thau live submissively
Where tears of slaves must wet the sod.
Our nation boasts Of Liberty,
With millions now In chains,
And wages war increasingly
And Freedoms soil profanes-
Would darken Kansas sunny land
With slavsry's highting curee,-
Allow q foreign hireiing band
To chain free speech by force.
'Twould take her sons from honest toll,
Who dared to speak the right,
Within Missouti's prison walls,
And all their prospects blight.
To such DEGREES they'll meier submit ~-~l
While reason keeps her throne,
Nor one just principle abate,
Although by numbers overborne.
Sons Of the Mountain State!
Where Aliens memories dwell,
Rush to the r~escue-share the fate
The hosts Of Freedrm swell!
Nor let your brothers strive .
Alone the victory to win,
But from their home, invaders drive
And Freedoms flag unfurl within.
