Curing ManIs.

The slaughter of the porkers begins
this month on all we'll regulated farms,
from Aroostook, to the tarthest West
and South to Masen and DixOn's line;
and only little later farther South;
we see the slick beauties suspended
by the gambrels, their open mouths
biting the cob, from which they she'll
ed the corn while living. The hams
and shoulders, destined for bacon, are
liable to be spoiled in two ways-by
too much salt and by too little. Not
one ham in ten offered in the market
is properly cured for human food
Many persons put the hams in with
the other pork, and spoil it. Many
of the recipes offered are too indefi-
mite to be Of any service. The follow.
ing cures bacon fit for king, or his
eldest daughter
For one hundred pounds of ham
take salt, ten pounds--Turk's Island
is the best--six ounces sAltpeter, and
two pounds Of brown sugar. Mix the
ingredients as evenly as possible and
rub them upon the feshy side Of the
hams and shoulders. Pack the hams
in clean cask, skin side downward
Put a stone board on top Of the ham
and fill up with clean cold water so as
to cover them. In a few days all will
be desolved and form a pickle just
right. But the salt in the solution is
continually sinking to the bottom
Therefore, either change the pickle
pouring it ont and pouring back again
or if the barrel is partly filled roll it
around q few times so as to stir the
contents thoroughly, often as once a
week. The neglect Of stirring the
pickle, after it is made, spoilS many a
barrel ofhams. In six weeks they will
be cured just right. Smoke them ten
DAYS, to two weeks, in a cool smoke
house. Put them in tight close wrap.

they will keep for years. This is our

BUcKwHEAr AS FooD.-M. Isidore
Pierre has recently been making some
Investigations on buckwheat, from
which we eondense the following IL
tcresting result: Buckwheat cakes are
equal to pure white bread as regards
the phosphates Or bonomaking mate
rial, and nitrogenous principles which
they contain, and are superior to bread
in fatty matters. The general yield
OF buckwheat when cooked is about
three times the weight Of flour used,
showing that such flour will retain
torty.one per cent. Of water. Between
different patches of ground buckwheat
there is a great dissimilarity Of com
position-one patch containing near.
ly seven times as much nitrogen,
twenty-five tunes the amount Of phos.
pilates, and a hundred and fifteen
times as much fatty matter, as anoth.
er. The bran is the richest portion Of
the buckwheat, but cannot be digested
by weak stomachs. The finest quail
ties of buckwheat -four, ana the white
mill dust especially, are very suitable
for children and persons in delicate
health, while the coarser varieties re,

ercise for their perfect Digestion

Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutrazcs this malarious poison in the
bo,l. and stimulates the liver TO eXpe it from the
body. AS it should, so it does cure this allicting
disorder with perfect certainty. And 1t does more,
or rather does what is OF more service to those SUB
ect to this infection. Ii taken in season it eXpels
il from the system as il is absorbed and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease
Consequently it not only cures but protects from,
the great variety of affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, such as Remlttent
Fever. Chill Fever, Dumb or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Heldlchc, Bilious
Feyers. Neuralgia. Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catnrrh, Asthma, Palplta-
tionS, Painful Affections Of the Spleen, Mysteries,
Collie, Paralysis and Painful Affections OF the
Stomach and Bowels, all Of which, when arising
from this cause. will be found TO assume more or
less the intermittent type. This AGUE CURE
removes the cause of these arrangements, and cures
the disease
This it acoomplishcs by stimulating the excre-
tories to expcl the virus from the System and
these organs by degrees become habtcd to DO this
their office Of their own accord. Hence arises what
we term acrFmatqti0R Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life is not long enough, or Is
sacrificed i'm the ATTEMPT, while this AGUE CURE ~
does il at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is a surcr as well as safer
remedy for the whole class Of diseases which arc
caused by the miaslhatic Infection than any other
which has been discovered; and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, tina
it s cheap as well as good.
