How to Cure Hams.

In answer to o. S. Morlsy's inquiry,
"What can be done with hams that have
been smoked and are not salt enough to keep
through the summer" would give him my
method of curing and keeping my hams.
To cure one hundred pounds of hams,
take twelve pounds of salt, four ounces of
saltpeter, one and half quarts of molasses,
four pods of red pepper, add water enough.
to cover them, and one ounce of saleratus
to each gallon of water. Boil, skim, and
when cold, put in the meat, and let it stand
seven weeks, then take it out and partially
dry it before smoking. Smoke with cobs
or hickory; and when smoked, cut it into
slices for frying, and fry as for present eat
ing. Pack the fried meat in stone iars. If
not salt enough, add salt to suit your taste;
and when packed in the jar, pour on the fat
that has been fried out, sufficient to cover
the meat; put the jar in cool, dry place,
take it out as you want to use, excepting the
meat in the jar covered with lard,) and
slightly fry it. have tried many methods
of curing and keeping hams for frying dur
ing the last fifty years, and have found none
as good as the above. If you wish to keep
them for boiling. pack them in dry OATS

OYSTER P1E.-Take large dish, butter
it and spread rich paste over the sides and
round the edge, but not at the bottom. The
oysters should be fresh, and as large and
fine as possible. Drain off part of the IL
quor from the oysters. Put them into alpan,
and season them with pepper. saltand spice.
Stir them. well with the seasoning, Have
ready the yoiks Of eggs chopped fine, and
the grated bread. Pour the oysters with
as much of their liquor as you please) into
the dish that has the paste 10 it, Strew
over them the chopped egg and grated bread.
Roll out the lid of the pie, and put it on.
crimping the edge handsomely. Take
small sheet of paste, cut it into square and
roll it up. Cut it with a sharp knife into
the form of a double tulip. Make slit ia
the center of the upper crust, and etick the
tulip in It. Cut out eight large leaves of
paste, and lay them on the lid. Bake the
pie IN quick oven.

A Valuable REMEDY.-Every family
should keep small quantity of chlorate Of
potash. We have never found anything
equal to it fora simple liberated sore throat.
Dissolve small teaspoonful of it in > tum-
bier of water; and then occasionally take
the throat. 1t is nearly tasteless, and not at
adapted to children s sse8t
Nothing is better than this for chapped
or cracked hands Wash them in the weak
solution, and they viii soon be well. It is
also good for q rough. pfmply or ehspped
face. Il may be bad at any, druggist's.

To MAKE APPLE FRrrrERs.-Take one
pint of milk, three eggs. salt just to taste.
Beat the yolks and whites separately, add
the yolks to the milk, stir in the whites with
as much flour as will make a batter; have
ready some tender apples, peelthem, cut
them in slices round the apple, take the core
carefully out of the center of each slice, and
to every spoonful of batter lay in a slice OF
the apple. which must be cut very thin.
Fry them in hot lard to light brown on
both sides. -

An Insect Sampson.

The weight of the bottle and its con-

three pounds and a half, while that OF
the beetle was about half an ounce; so
that it readily moved weight ll2
