CLEANING Wheat.

1t will pay to clean grain thoroughly
before offering it for sale. A careless
or dishonest man has little reason to
congratulate himself upon having sold
Il quantity of chaft,, cookie seed, and
other foul stuff, for the price of wheat.
Dealers in grain have sharp eyes for
anything that affects the market price.
and they readily detect wilful or care
less neglect to properly clean the crop,
and a reduction ct from two to four or
more cents per brsheI is the consc-
quence. 1t requires but few pounds
weight of refuse among grain to great
ly damage its appearance. An amount
which would bring fifty cents if sold at
the price of wheat, will reduce the mar
kct value Of twenty five bushels from
four to FIVE cents per bushel, thus ell
failing actual loss, instead of gain, as
some, by their practice, seem to sup.
pose. Grain merchants sometimes take
advantage Of the fact, that foreign mat
ter in grain detcriorates the market val
uc below the actual damage caused by
its presence. They put large quantities
of poorly cleaned grain through the
tanning mill, take out one or two cents
per bushei IL che weight of foul seeds,
ETC., and are able to sell the Improved
grain at tour to five cents advance per
bushel, all Of which might h:vc been

Favkes' American Steam Plough.

The Philadelphia Lf@ytr of the ST.,
Of November notices the performance
of this extraordinary invention:
"A trial Of one of Tawkcs steam
ploughs. which has been built for Col.
Wood, for the purpose ci' exhibiting it
in Cuba, took place on an open lot
near Harrowcatc, in the presence of a
large number of farmers and others.
The lot ploughed has not been cl11tiya-
ted for many years, and the ground
was, therefore, we'll set in grass. and
very hard, but Notwithstanding these
drawbacks, eight burrows were made
at one time. and the sod completely
turned under. The manner in which
the work was done elected the praise
from all familiar with the cultivation
ofthe soil. The machine used ycstcr-
day is similar in size and appearance to
the one Mr.. Fawkcs exhibited in this
city some two years sihcc, and which
was described in the Leo;ytr at that

mcnts have been added, which render

drum on which the engine rests, and
which gives it the propclling power,
has been reduced in weight, and the
gearing increased in size, thus giving
much more power for doing its dcs-
tined work. The cylinders arc a-inch
bore and 15-inch stroke. The boiler is
6 feet 8 inches high, and I feet in dia-
meter. 1t contains 263 tubes l ! inches
in diameter, and 1 feet 6 inches long.
The fire box is 1 by + feet inch, and
% inches deep. The engine is about
3O-horse power, and Notwithstanding
the ncwncss of the machinery, it work
ed with much case and with but little
noise. An improvement has also been
made in the gearing OF the ploughs b.!
substituting an iron frame in the place
of Il wooden one. as was the case iii the
first one made. The fire box in front,
and which rests upon the guiding
wheels, has been much enlarged with
out adding any additional weight to the
engine; and in addition to the donkey
pumps, which supply the boiler with
water when the engine is not in mo-
ton, two force pumps have been attach
ed to feed the boiler VIXEN the ploughs
are at work. The engine and tank are
10 feet long, and weigh about Il tons.

About Corned Beef.

Corned beef, properly saltcd. and
cooked as it should be, is dish tit for
the sovereign people: but to cat salt
junk, such as too often exercises the
muscles of the jaws. is Il pennance even
tor Il malct;actor. Most Of the beef put
I'D for Winter use, is spoiled by the salt,
which destroys tire flavor, and makes
the meat stringy and tough. When
beef is fresh, it contains considerable
blood, which is drawn ont by the brine.
If the meat is left in this bloody mix
ture, it will require a much larger guam
tity of salt to preserve it, particularly
through warm weather. My plan is TO
make brine by using for every hun
dredpounds of beet, ) lbs. Of salt, ! on.
saltpeter, and 1 ID. Of brown sugar.
This is dissolved in just enough water
to cover the meat, and poured upon it..
When it has been in this brine two
weeks, l take out the meat, let it drain,
poura fresh brine over it, and then it
will be good, the season through.
The cook who uses corn beet, should
not be so ignorant or so incident as TO
delay putting it over the fire until an
hour before dinner. A good sized piece
requires three or four hours steady boil
ing to do it iusticc. Insufficient boil
ing must be made up for by extra
chewing. Always have the water boil
ing when the meat is dropped in :
otherwise the sweetness will be drawn
out into the water. A boiling heat
harGlens 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 corncd beef is, to have large
boiler, with wire, or a wooden rack
on the bottom, for the meat to rest on
over the water. When the water boils,
place the meat upon the rack, and put
on the cover of the boiler, with a 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
it more quickly and better than could
be done by boiling.
