BEEF HAMS-HOW TO CURE.

The finest beef hams are made by cut
ting out the entire bone Of the hindquar
ter, then rubbing in the salt and sugar,
the same as described for pork hams, turn
ing them over and rubbing them every
day for week. After this they are hung
up to drip in a cool, dry place for three
days. They are now taken down and
rubbed all over, on \ table or bench, with
some inc salt, black pepper and cloves
all ground together. About Que OF. each
OF salt and pepper and half an ounce of
cloves are sufficient for thirty pounds of
meat, but the exact quantity cannot be
given. No person can go wrong if he
rabs every part Of the whole surface of
the ham with some Of this salt and pep
per composition. The ham is now fit to
rolled. This is accomplished by rolling be
into cylindrical form, swiing it round
from the narrow - the tbickest end, and
hanging it up to dry about ten days be-
fore it is used. 1t is cut in round slices
for frying by commencing at the but end.
y stout cord is used to swill, or tie srch
hams, and ii must Se looped or turned
under on both sides along the coils Of the
cord, So as to have every coil firmly bound
and held in place when the ham is being
cut in slices flr daily use. Hams made
in this manner arc The finest in the " orld

Smoked beef is TO bc found in abun.

able Of the meat kind in comparison with
beef prepared as described. We hope
some of our farmers will make some such
beef hams this fall for family use. They
will not keep in summer weather so well
as smoked becf-so it is saii-but Of this
we are not certain.

the subject in this article, and We have
consequently omitted many points that
nigh, be brought in TO establish the po-
sition we are seeking to impress upon the
mind Of the planter. The difference be
tween the effect produced on our lands by
the production Of cotton and those OF the
grain crops constitutes an important item
which should not be left out Of the account
in an investigation Of this subject.
The last year presents q practical illus
tration Of the soundness Of the views we
have presented. A large majority OF
our planters planted large grain crops
and paid less attention to cotton, and the
result has been most favorable. Our peo
pie were never in more comfortable cir
cumstances than they are and have been
during the present winter.-Their cotton
has brought remuncrative prices. while eve-
rything around them rcjoices in comfort
and plenty. The experiment has proved
a successful one, and we hope it may be
continued until ii shall become the settled
policy of our people.

manfully on from conquering unto con-

never comes, and where the weary are at

THE POLICY OF SOUTHERN PLAN.
TIERS

Tie return Of seed-time suggests few
remarks appropriate TO the season, and
bearing upon the true policy of Southern
planters, as derived from the experience of
| the past.
In many portions Of the south, agricul.
tural interests have prospered in spite of
the defective systems upon which they
have been conducted as well rs the entire
absence Of any system, as is ihe case in
numerous instances. A propitious heaven
and generous earth have overcome the er-
rors OF man and prospered his ll.drccted
exertions. There are many portions of
the country, however, where these blessed
influences are less literally fslt, to be found
chiefly where the population has become
dense and the capacity Of the soil exhaus.

system becomes necessary in order to Sc
cure a reasonable remuneration to labor:
and it is to those occupying such less IA
vored sections that n word of advice may
not be wholly out Of season OF unprofita-
bic.

both Of Grain and Hay, would be produ.

grain is rs paatable and as nutrious for
the food Of horses, and every kind Of stock
as oats, and the bay equal to any impor.
ted.
Independent Of its great yield in grain
and hay, its value must be esteemed
greatly above any plant which we know
of, inaSmuch as a crop Of grain and hay
can be harvested in the month Of May,
when these necessaries arc generally be-
coming scarce. II sown principally for a
grain crop, the hills ought to be two and
a.half feet apart, SO that the grain can Le
gathered 10y stripping. A hand can har.
vest, in this way, six bushels day. Af.
ter tho grain is taken, the plant can be cut
with rice hook or scythe, and is ex-
cel!ent hay. If sown principally for a
hay crop, the drills ought to be eighteen
inches apart, cut when in milk, and four
tons OF superior hay will, at least, be pro-
duced to the acre. ....
To sow an acre for grain will require
one hushel and half; for hay it will re-
quire bushel and n half or two bushels
of seed. Orders for the seed will be re.
ceived at Landreth d. Co.'S Seed Store,

Do you not hear the shouts of slaughter
Yeil'd forth by the ferocious race,
Who come to stab in your embrace,

In battles firm array,
March on to pour their blood impure !,
TO arms! to arms awayl
What projects are those legions sharing,
With traitors, slaves and kings combined Z
Those chains that they have been preparing
30 long for whom are they designed!
fe sons of France! for you perdition.
What fury should within you burn!
'Tis you. It's you, tLey bid return,
To grorel in slaves submission!
To arms, my countrymen!
Good God! and shall the hircling stranger
Protane our dear domestic hearth!
And are our proudest chiefs in danger
OF being spnrncd by slaves to earth!
Beneath the weight of fetters bending,
Shall we at our opprcssors beck,
In homage bow the knee and neck
On them, as on our gods depending!
To arms, my countrymcn!
Trcmble ye tyrants-traitors tremble,
BY even those We serve, abhorr'd,
fe parrieides behold assemble
The terrors OF your just reward!
All start to be delivered from you:
And If our youthful heroes fall,
France from her womb shall others call.
Like Pallas nrm'd to overcome you.
To arms, my countrymen

The blow, as nobly to forbcar;
Those miserable victims driven
Unwilling against us spare.
But let your grasp on vengeance smother
The Parrcidc's accurst array,
Those monsters, who like beasts Of prey,
Would rend the bosom Of their mother!

Spirit that in the patriot shincst!
We claim thee for our shield and guide
And then, oh Liberty, divinest!
