'viOletta and AlIandOrf.
a oNE.HoRsE NOVEL.


Violetta started convulsively, and tur-
ned her tear-drenched eyes wildly upon
the speaker; for to her there seemed
something strangely familiar in those
low, rich tones. Their eyes met-his
beaming with love and tenderness, hers
cleaning with wild uncertainty.
VioIetta ~
"Allandorf!" zs sS-a
And the beautiful girl sank, from ex-
cess of joy, upon his noble heart, throb-
bling with the pure, holy, delicious love
of other days. Allaudorf bent tenderly
over her, and bathed her pure white
temples with the gushing tears of deep,
though sudden joy. While doing this.
Violetta's father, Rip Van Snort, was
seen approaching the lovers with fail.
Allandorf saw the aged patriarch, and
with one leap cleared the ba9isters, and
rushed down stairs. But Van Snort was
not to be thus f'done." He put after the
flying Allandorf, and just as he was tur-
ming the corner of the red barn, gave him
a lift with the fail, that placed him on
the 't'other side of Jordan" Violetta,
driven to distraction. threw herself upon
the grass, and for long, long hour, was
deaf to every consolation.

CURING HAMs.-Please say to r. G.. B.,
that if he wishes to cure hams, so that
they be tender and sweet, he must not
put any brine on them, for brine has a
tendecy to make lean meat hard. The
following recipe l have found the best of
any ! have seen. To common sized
ham take one ounce of saltpetre, and mix
with it though fine salt to rub the ham
twice after rubbing the hams, you can
lay them in heap, or in cask, putting
some sticks in the bottom so that the
brine may run off, or hole in the bottom
ofathe cask that it may run out. After
they have lain one week, take them Up and
rub on the rest of the salt and saltpetre,
let them lay eight or ten days longer, then
take them up again and rub them with
salt alone ; lay them as before for another
week, and they are ready to smoke.

Rais;ue Potatoes.

a correspondent Of the Dollar News

his mode Of planting aud raising good

every crop has not been alike good. for
much depends upon the season but !
have never had poor crop. My plan is
this: plsnt the seed ends of good sized
potatoes on good ground, but never ma

rich, Il should by all means be made so /;
bat this manaring should be attended to
from one to two years before planting of
potatoes. That the seed ends are as good
as whole potatoes, have satisfied myself
By repeated experiments. / plant two
seeds in hill, the rows FIVE feet apart by
two and half, furrowing my ground one
way with light pillow. then drop my seed
across the burrows, which saves marking
my ground one way. and pillow them in.
This saves three fourths Of the labor of
covering, (no small matter. and leaves
the ground in q better condition. Do
not put them in when the ground is wet,
or pay any attention whatever to the
moon-that depend upon it, is all moon
shine. pillow deep and fine. making your
ground as mellow as possible, and put
your potatoes in, in good season, but new
er stop to inquire whether 1t be in the
new or old, the light or dark ofthe moon.
Assoon as the shoots are two inches above
the ground, run a double shovel pillow
through them, each way, and continue to
do SO often enough to keep the ground
free and loose, until the vines blossom. /
do not approve the plan Of killing them !;
indeed l never touch the hoe to them, but
pull out the weels, if any are left in the
bill, by hands. Not that pretend that
hoeing or stirring the ground about the
hill, is detriment, or even Of no benefit,
but that can keep it sufficiently Ii BIT
without it. Potatoes SHOULD be dug as
soon as the vines are dead, and not before
In digging them, l take a two horse

the centre of the first rows, and back in

periments, that by seeding too high. you
will be certain to have small potatoes.

GRAZING WHEAT.-An esteemed friend
in Virginia, asks our views with respect
TO the propriety Of grazing wheat fields.
Upon this subject our opinion has long
been made-it is this-that where the
farmer may find his wheat rank in the
Spring, he cannot do better than to turn
his sheep in upon it, whenever the earth
is sufficiently firm to resist pouching
Grown cattle. however, we think would
prove injurious, though calves might very
properly be turned in with the sheep.

himself rich by literally advertising in
