all private diseases, without mercury, is consulted
daily at his Office, 2lO Clay ST., from o A. NJ. to
SP. NJ. A cure Guaranteed or no pay.
DR.. Young has probably had more practice in
vcncrcal diseases than any physician in California

Although We are opposed to the system of adj
vcrtisng for good and sufficient reasons, still we
deem it but justice to say that DR.. Young is one
of the most industrious and interchangeable votarics
of the medical science in the United States.
[FRoM PROFESSOR JAcxsoX.]

DR.. Young, and has seen much Of his practice, and

those afflicted with the above complaints.

All afflicted with private complaints should, il
possible, consult DR.. Young, whose medical edu-
cation is not surpassed by any physician in the
country. In his skill, honor and integrity all may

ignorance and assumption.

Pigs and Pork.

rigs anu <oIk'
We select from correspondent let
ter the following items relative to pigs
and pork. He recommends that pigs
should be wintered upon two ears OF
corn daily, fed very regularly, one at
night and one in the morning, keeping
them in Il warm, close pen, without wa
t,r. lie says they will live in hibeLna-
ting. condition and small amount
of feed keep in good condition. If wa
tered or fed with liquid food, and kept
in the cold, much of the food is ex-
pended in keeping upanimal heat. The
pigs should be in good condition when
put up, and must be we'll bcdded to CHI
able them to keep warm.
1.-THE best and most solid pork, says
the same writer, sis made by rapid
feeding of pigs in Autumn, which have
kept thin all summer. Hogs that are
kent fat through the summer are most
y apt to afford soft pork, Which shrinks
in the pot.
CLAIMS, or in fact any part of the pig
designed for bacon, should never be
put in picklc-they are decidedly bet
ter sailed dry
In this we perfectly agree with the
writer. Our practice has been to weigh
the pork to be saltcd and the salt, Civ
ING six pounds of fine salt to one hun
drcd pounds Of pork. First sprinkle
about onc-fourth OF ~ ounce OF saltpc-
ter. finely pulvcrizcd, upon a ham or
shoulder. and then rub itovcr we'll with
salt, and pile up the pieces just as
YOU would pile up a lot of stove wood,
in some dry room. 1t should be over.
hauled once, and the spare salt rubbed
on fresh-ookins spots, and the pile re-
constructed SO rs to allow the air to
come to all parts. 1t will completely
salt in as many days as ham weighs
pounds.
It should be smoked in large, airy
room, BY fire of some kind OF sweet,
green wood-hickory is bcst-and the
fire should be SO far oft that its heat
never would warm the meat, and the
more gently it is smoked the better.
One small fire, once Il day, is better
than constant smoke. Ncvcrusc rot
ten wood for smoking. The true art
of smoking meat is to impregnatc it
with pyroligncous acid, which can only
he distilled from sound wood, and it is
easiest obtained from green wood. If
it is desirable to Use sugar or molasses
on the hams, it should be applied in adj
vance of the salt or saltpetcr. 1t has
prcservative quality, and if used at the
rate of & tablespoon full to medium
sized ham it is not Objectionable.
For picked pork, it is advantageous
to salt it in the bulk before packing in
barrels. Nothing will drain off from
meat thus sailed, but just what should
drain away. When your pork is ready
to go into the barrel, pack it as tight as
YOU can force it in, and then fill the
barrel with brinc-not salted water, but
brine, which is water saturated with
salt. Pork thus curcdwill keep longer
than we can calculate.
To keep hams. hang them in dry
cool room and draw Il loose cotton bag
over them, and tie it tightly around the
meat. This must be done before flies
come in spring, and it will keep them
away. We have kept hams prepared
in this way till over three years old,
and they were as much better than new
ones, than ripe old cheese is better than
one day old.-[N. Y. Tribune.

KEEPING PorAroEs.-A correspon-
dent of the Rural New Yorker relates
his experience with the potato rot, as
follows: "When digging, l discovered
occasionally a potato that was affected,
and had them all picked out carefully.
They were dried in the sun, and put in
the cellar in one bin. Some few days
after, l examined them, and found them
warm and emitting all offensive smell.
/ considered them lost, when it occur
red to me that would try one thing
before giving them up. I got two
bushels of plaster, threw it on them
(aftcr taking out of the bin,) shovelcd
them all over, and left them OH the eel
lar bottom about one foot deep. They
cooled off, and stoppedrotting. Those
that were not affected, which was about
threc-fourt'ls, kept about as well a. amy

SYsTEMIN LABoR.-Farmers as gen.
cral thing, have the least system i'll Ia
Dor of any class of men. They work
without any fixed hours, from daylight
till dark,-nevcr take time for reading
or recreation, and if they undertake to
read before going to bed, they are so
exhausted they do not enjoy it, and of
ten fall asleep overtheir book or paper.
They virtually wear themselves out, so
they become old men when they should
be in their prime. Nature did not in
tend that man should work necessarily,
without rest or recreation. Why can
not farmers have some fixed time for
labor, as we'll as mechanics or profess
sional men-say from 6 or I o'clock in
the morning till 6 or 7 at night, which
will give them twelve orthirteen hours
q day for work. This is as long as
man can work without injuring himself
sooner or later. Mechanics in the
cities work only ten hours day, and
you cannot get them to work any long
or, and man will accomplish more in
that time than if he worked from day
light till dark every day; because he
will have more strength, will work with
IL will, and when his days work is done
he can read and inform himself. Man
was not placed here on earth by his Gre
ator to wear himself out by work, but
to prepare himself to dwell with him in
Heaven. Then adopt some kind of
system for labor, andimprovc the mind.
