APPhcdtiOn.-When land is exosed to
alternate freezing and thawing, the same

thrown into ridges in the fall, these eff

than in any other way.
Snow will lie uuthawed between the
ridges, ensuring cold temperature, and
the tops of the ridges will, unless the fall
OF snow is very heavy, be exposed to
the sun, and will thaw by day. Thus a
considerable portion of the soil during q
great part of the winter, will be alter

ABOUT CoRNED BEEF.

Corned beef, properly sailed and cook
cd as 1t should be, is a dish fit for the
sovereign people; such as too often ex-
ercises the muscles of the jaws, is a pen
nance even for a malefactor. Most of
the beef put up for winter use, is spoiled
by the use of too much salt, which de-
stroys the flavor, and makes the meat
stringy and tough. When beef is fresh
1t contains considerable blood, which is
drawn out by the brine. If meat is left
in this bloody mixture it will require a
much larger quantity of salt to preserve
1t particularly through warm weather.
My plan is TO make brine by using for
every hundred pounds Of beef, lbs. salt,
IA OF. salipeter, and l ID. brown sugar.
This is dissolved in just enough water to
cover the meat, and poured upon it.
When it has been in the brine two
weeks, | take out the meat, let it drain,
pour fresh brine over it, and then il
will be good. the season through.
The cook who uses corned beef, should
not be so ignorant or so indolent as to
delay putting 1t over the fire until an
hour before dinner. A good sized piece
requires three or four hours steady boil
ing to do it justice. Insufficient boiling
must be made up by extra chewing. AL.
ways have the water boiling when the
meat Is dropped in otherwise the sweet
ness will all be drawn out into the water.
a boiling heat hardens the outer surface
at once, and thus keeps the juices which
give richness, and which contain most OF
the nourishment. An excellent way OF
cooking corn beef is TO have a large
boiler, with wire, or wooden rack on
over the water. When the water boils.
place the meat 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
more quickly and better than could be
done by boiling-American Agricutur-
list.
