 HyHE importance of using old and dry Salt for II packing Pork. may not be known by every body. In fact exdression of surprise is frequent ly made hy persons who claim an experience Of years, that their pork, when taken from the lower part of a barrel which has been packed with the greatest care and with good Sat tastes peculiarly unpleasantly. This difficulty arises from using new made wet Salt-Salt from which the bitter water has not been completely dried out. Of late yeaas. the demand for Salt being equal to the supply there is little which has age sufficient to render it really lit for packing pork-or at least which will not give the meat unpleasant taste, partial but not very economical remedy for which may be found by dry ing the Salt in an oven before using. The surest way he weyer, s ts supply yourself from cargo of Old Rock Salt, which we have for sale. and which is vrry old and perfectly dry It will weigh 90 lbs. to the bushel. Reference with regard to its age and quality, is made to H.. Trowbridges Sons, of New Haven, who imported it. Therefore let all who wish good Salt in order to be of good Pork, secure some of the OLD ROCK which have for sale.

to get Their money; if he don't make them.
he IS afraid Of cc6t! If his horse is fat.
Il is because he has nothing to do; if he il
lean, is because he isn't taken care Of If
he drives fast, it is to make people think
something is very sic; ; if he drives slow,
he has no interest in the welfare Of his pa.
