Domestic Economy.

PICKLE FOR HAMs.-For 100 lbs.
meat, take 9 gallons water, 9 lbs. salt,
half fine and half coarse, 3 lbs. brown
sugar, l quart molasses, 3 OF. saltpettr,
and l OF. potash. Put the above ingre-
dients into kettle and boil it, taking
off the scum. AS soon as the scum
ceases to rise, take it off, and when cold,
pour it in the barrel on the meat. The
meat should be rubbed with fne salt be.
fore packing in the barrel. By adding
a few ounces Of whole black pepper,
cloves, allspice and cinnamon, a superi-
or-faVored ham is obtained. The spi-
ces should be added to the brine after it
is skinned, and boiled few minutes. -
This is also an excellent pickle.
KEEPING MEATS FREsH.-With q
little care, all kinds of fresh meat. pork
beef, poultry, fish, &c-may be kept for
long time without losing its fresh Aa
vor. Cut the meat into suitable pieces
for cooking, whether for steaks, baking
or boiling; then lay it where it will
freeze hard. When frozen, place it in
tub or box and bury it in snow or ice
with temporary covering to keep il
from melting in ordinary winter wea tn
er. If thaw comes on, cover with an
old blanket or straw to exclude the air
PICKLE FOR BEEF.-To eight gallons
Of water add two pounds of brown sugar,
one quart of mOlassOs, four ounces Ol
saltpeter, and 6ne salt until it will floa
an egg. Beef put up in this way will
keep good without absorbing SO much
salt as to make it hard and tough when
cooked.
To MAKE THE BEST SAUsAaEs.-
Take 20 lbs. chopped meat, OF. salt, "a
OF. pepper, teacupful sage, and II
tea-cupfuls sweet mauorum. Pass the
two last through a fine sieve. If you
prefer it, thyme and summer savory IN may
be substituted for the latter.

PEAT.-The St. Paul Press is jubi--
LIANT over the discovery, in that neigh
borhood, of beds of "peat," or "turf," as
it is called in ireland. Sixty acres Of
it have been found adjoining the city Of
St, Pau, which, it is estimated will sup
ply the city with fuel one hundred
years. 1t also abounds in other locali-
ties. The reason of the joy is thnt
wood costs So per cord, while "peat"
can be furnished at 81 50@3 90, and
cord of the latter is said to be equal to

DIsINTEREsTED ADvIcE.-Wea your
old coat week longer, and your hat a
month. Old hats feel best, so do old
boots; but the latter having a sole above
pavements, sometimes wear out, and cre-
ate a necessity for new pair, and if
you do not get them your feet get damp,
you catch a cold, aud hence the neces-
sity of using something to cure it. Try

We are apt to be free with our jokes
upon Doctors and their drugs, until
sick and in need Of their aid, then all
alike bow to the necessity Of resourse
to their hard.earncd and often to their
ill-requited skill. The prevailing be-
lief that physicians frown upon what
ever deviates from their peculiar sys-
tenn and usages, arises from the fact that
their better information leads them
soonest to detect and discard the medi-
cal delusions aud impositions that are
thrust upon the community. That they
are ready to adopt any really valuable
invention is seen by the treatment Doc
tor j. @. Ayers Chemical Remedies
have received at their hands: They
appreciate the value Of these medicines
because they know exactly their
com position, and where is a man who
ever heard a respectable physician
either disparage thcm or discourage
their use2 No profession or pursuit
has done more for tho human family
than the medical profession. None rs
followed by nobler ends, nor is there
one which better deserves the best

ANGRY LETTERs.-An angry letter is

the word Of love that may follow so
quickly upon spoken anger. This
