efactor. Most of the beef put up for winter
use, is spoiled by the use Of too much salt
which destroys the flavor, and makes the meat
contains considerable blood, which is drawn
out by the brine. If the meat is left in this
mixture, it will require much larger q quantity
OF salt to preserve it, particularly through
warm weather. Ny plan is to make a brine by
using for one hundred pounds of beef five
pounds of salt, one-quarter ounce of saltpetre,
and pound Of brown sugar. This is dissolved
in just enough water to cover the meat, and
poured upon IL. When it has been in this brine
two weeks, take out the meat, let it drain,
pour fresh brine over it, and then it will be
good, the season through,
The cook who uses corned beef should not be
30 ignorant or so indolent as to delay putting
it over the fire until an hour before dinner A
good sized piece requires three or four hours
steady boiling to do it justice insufficient
boiling must be made up for by extra chewing.
Always have the water boiling when the meat
Is dropped in; otherwise the sweetness will be
drawn out into the water. A boiling heat
hardens the outer surface at once, and thus
keeps in the juices which give richness, and
which contain most of the nourishment. An
excellent way Of cooking corned beef is, to
have large boiler, with a wire or wooden rack
on the bottom, for the meat to rest on over the
water. When the water boils, place the neat
upon the rack, and put on the cover of the
boiler, with cloth over it, to keep in the
steam. The heat Of the steam will rise above
the boiling point, and penetrate the meat, and
cook 1T more quickly and better than could be
done by boiling it in water. .-. a..-.

Not lisp, replied the Squire
Squire Skinner, said Deacon Jones' we ought

Squire Skinner took his long nine out of his

Deacon Jones rose to go. He saw the squire's
back was up, and it was folly to argue with
him. But the Deacon was true Christian, and
did not wish to 60 without leaving a more
agreeable impression on the Squire's mind, so

Squire Skinner rose in great excitement; his
face was flushed. his left hand held his long
nine, and his right arm was raised like q pump
handle; he looked as much like spread eagle
as was possible for him. when he exclaimed
with the eloquence of Tom Stevenson, "Dea-
