How TO KEEP SMOKED HAMs.-Hams
can be secured and sweetly preserved thro'
Summer by packing them in cobs; first, a
aver of cobs in the bottom of the cask;
then hams and cobs until you finish the
whole. BE particular that they do not
come in contact with each other. Unbro-
ken cobs | would prefer, but broken ohcs
selected will answer. 1t would be neces-
sary to take them out once in the summer,
and give them rubbing. Your cask
should stand upon bench, in dry, cool
cellar. Having packed in this way, the
cobs absorb the heat and air sufficient to
keep them fresh and fine. 1t has been my
practice more than ten years, to treat my
hams in this way, and never lost one
You take them out perfectly clean, not
plastered, nor ashed, nor creased; neither
Is there any chaff to be swept off, when
the hams are thus treated The cask
should be kept covered, and the hams
need not be disturbed except to be rubbed
off in summer.

The FROZEN PEACH TRFES-M b Rate

The FROZEN PEACH TREES. B. Bate
man, in letter to the Ohio Farmer, fully
confirms our statementa few days ago,
thai many of the peach trees and Other
tender trees, are frozen to death. We think
that nearly all that were planted last year;
nearly all that stand in undrained, rich
ground that is naturally moist, and all that
made good deal of new wood last year;
will be found seriously injured. We reit-
crate our advice to use the pruning knife
freely. That can do no harm and may save
your trees. Do not cut them down until
You are sure they are dead, and then cut
away the body close to the ground and COW
or the stump with a sod, and wait to sec if
the root will send up sprouts. If your trees
are dead, do not be discouraged, but plant
more. We may not have such another
winter as the last in this century. In
Ohio it is generally conceded that the buds
of peaches, cherries, apricots, some early
pears, and some of the most tender apples,
are killed or badly injured upon all clay
lands. The Prairie Farmer says:
1--WE have given up all hopes of a fruit
crop except apples. The thermometer has
oeeh * ueg DclOW zero Ill chicago ana
% deg. in the vicinity. The presumption
is that peach trees, DC, and all rather ten
der shrubs are dead down to the snow-line.
And we fear that half of the badly handled
peddlcrs' trees, brought into the country
last Fall will be found in the category,
whether planted or hcelcd in The time
for pruning is when the first warm weather
of early Spring renders it necessary to cut
back, before the sap begins to circulate;
then do SO a little below the evident frost
mark or dcad-lne. But even if the peach
trees are of good sorts, touch not the bod
les too rashly, for they sometimes survive
after the bark and wood show diScolora-
tons and slight disorganization, on cutting
into them.

FARM lIoUsEs.-A good farmhouse is
one essential of successful farm life. The
farmer wants comfortable home, where
himself and family car be secure from the
prairie blasts of winter and the damp exha
lations of the rainy season. lie wants such
a home for health, for comfort and improve
ment. Ii need not be palace nor costly
structure. But it should be healthy, conve-
nient and comfortable To be healthy it
should be dry and warm, and at the same
time well ventilated. To be dry it must be
set some feet above the ground, and bad
and unwholesome air should not be allowed
to stagnate underit The most of the farm
houses in the West are set too low. Their
ground floors are but just above the ground.
Perhaps en- low, flat, wet prairie the floors
Will not be more than one foot above the
level of The ground. In such places the
floor can seldom be dry. Dampness crecps
up the walls and ceilings; the floors are not
light; the bad air rising from the vegetable
mould decaying under the house, rises up
damp and unhealthy, to penetrate the whole
house. In such houses people live, and
with them closed up, sleep, and then Won
der why they have SO much sickness. Over
almost the entire Western country the
houses should be set at least four feet above
the ground. The lower floors should be
alright, and the vacant space under the
floor well ventilated.
It's best that people should sleep some
what above the soil Chambers are the
best for sleeping rooms if they are roomy
and airy. At all events no one should sleep
near the ground if he can get somewhat
above it. \ tight roof, a tight floor, and
a good elevation above the ground are three
essentials ola farmers house. Without
these he is very liable to sickness He is
all the time taking in the seeds of disease.
Let all house builders reflect before they
build Valley Farmer.
