GREAT IMPROVEMENT
COOKING STOVES !
Consumption of Smoke l. Gas & Saving OF Fuel

HNHE subscriber takes pleasure in offering to
his customers new Patented Gas-burning
Cooking Stove, undoubtedly the best stove made.
1t is well known that all in1ammable matter
requires certain amount of air TO support COM
bustion, and if the supply is insufficient it is
impossible to produce flame. The heat of
the FIRE, in ordinary cooking stoves, decomposes
the fuel, and as all the fresh air is admit ed un-
der the CRATE, its oxygen is exhausted before it
has passed through the fire chamber. The close
anes at the top Of the stove then act as an ex-
tinguisher, tending to put out the fire instead of
assisting the combustion. large portion of
the fuel, therefore, passes off in the shape of
smoke, clogging up the fiues of the stove so as
to impede the draft and interfere with the ba-
klng.-or OF invisible gas which combines with
the lime and SO destroys the mortar of the
chimneys, loosening the bricks, and exposing
the dwellings to the danger of fire.
The introduction OF an additional supply OF
cold air would cool the gas below the gniting
temperature, but by the proper application
above the fire Of air previously heated 10 tenn
perature Of several hundred degrees (Which is
one Of the prominent features of the patent)
| the gases are infamed in numerous lets. and
their combustion is sufficient to heat the oven.
even II the draft through the fire chamber Is
entirely closed. In addition to the ordinary di.
rect draft under the CRATE and through the fire
chamber, the gas-burner has an additional draft
through the top plates, which is of itself suffi.
| cient to maintain combustion. The upper draft
not only consumes the gases, but il helps 10
strengthen and preserve the centre pieces which
are most exposed TO the direct action of the
fire, and which are made double instead of the
usual single plates. BY means of this draft
alone, all the operations of cooking can be car
ried on when the fuel is but partially ignited,
and the fuel consequently burns more slowly
and more economically. A sufficient evidence
of the effect Of the gases in heating the oven is
| found IN the fact that the oven will be ready
Tor baking even before the fire is thoroughly
kindled, and much sooner than in any other.
There is scarcely a doubt that before long
ine Gas-ourning Cooking Stoves will supercede
all others: The operation is so perfect and its
consumption Of fuel so small 10 comparison
win otner cooking stoves, and its heat 80 easily
regulated, {burning more or less as desired (
that every one who uses one Of these stoves will
have nothing else. For sale by

Horses sStifened and Hoof:Joand.-A
horse that is driven on hard road is liza
ble to get stiffened. | have seen valuable
horses driven on our plank roads few
days get quite lame. I reasoned to my
self of the cause, and produced remedy
which proved effectual | have since tried
1T ON foundered or hoof- bound horses, and
with good results | made a solution of
salt and water, and applied it three times
day, by washing the legs and pouring up
on the bottom of his feet and holding them
up a few minutes to let it strike in, and
saw the wonderful effects in few days.
[ account for it in this way: Salt will ex-
tract moisture from the atmosphere, there
fore keeps the feet moist all the while; itacts
nearly ike melted grease upon the foot.
The hoof becomes tough but yet pliable.
Like chunk of wood saturated with salt
or brine, it is tough yet moist; and so with
a horses foot. And here let me add, the
habit of rasping the cracked hoof to tough

you will effect cure. Try it and blame

CURING HAMS.

OF the many receipts for cooking, pre-
serving and curing the various articles Of
household use, found floating about in the
newspapers, We always regard those from
the Scientific American as most worthy of
acceptance We give one below, which
will be found serviceable in few weeks
more, when killing time" comes on. IF
anybody has better receipt for curing
hams, we shall be pleased to receive it, and
publish it for the good of the public.
Curing Hanls--As the time is at hand
for preparing those useful stores of rich
and savory food, few words will not be
out of place in regard to them. The legs
of hogs short in the hook, are the best for
hams, and should be chosen in preference
to lanky hogs. They may be salted by inn
mersion in clean pickle containing lit
tie sugar and saltpetre dissolved, or they
-. 4rited by rubbing ground solar
mas wseL~---ss.t over them, turning them
every day; and giving them good rub
bing. A little sugar and ground black
pepper added to the salt viii much improve
the favor of the meat It requires about
a month to salt hams by the wet process,
and three weeks by the dry system. At
the end of this period, they should be
hung up few days to drip, and then they
are ready for smoking Much depends on
the kind of material used in smoking them
so as to secure sweet flavor. Whatever
fuel is used for this purpose, one condition
should never be overlooked it should be
perfectly dry, or else it will be liable to i'm
part bitter taste to the meat Dry corn
cobs, and some dry sweet hay are superior
to all other agents that we have seen en-
ployed for smoking beef and hams. Nut
ton hams may be prepared in the same
manner as those of pork, and they are ex-
ceedingly palatable when the meat is good
and care exercised to smoke them slowly.
