lawyers, farmers, and other business men

Already their voices have been heard upon
the Conference floor. in pertinent and eff
fective speech. One Of the best speeches
we have heard, was from one of our first
lawyers, on the spiritual interests of the
colOred people. A very interesting class
of twenty or more, chiefly young men of
intelligence and fine promise, were admit
ted on trial. Not member ofths Confer
ence has died during the year, one young
man of fine promise has fallen. A large
increase in membership is reported from
nearly all the charges. DR.. McFerrin,

Conference he attended in Illinois,
Bishop Paine is presiding. Fifty years
ago be frst attended the Tennessee Con-
ference. Not one then present, is here

have been admitted this year, from the

fifty years ago. Truly Giles county is the
nursery of our Conference. An average of
two annually are admitted from that coun-
ty. -Four from one country church admit

Curing and Preserving Meat.

A correspondent of the Southern Cultiva-
tor furnishes the following:
Kill early, and smoke only in damp wea-
ther. The first of March take down the
meat and scald it in boiling water, by TAX
ing hold of the hook end, and dipping and
turning it about for one minute then put in
the. shade to dry. Get a wide plank-so
wide that the meat will not touch the sides
nail strips on each side Eve inches wide.
Get dry leached or old wood ashes cover
the plank knee deep in ashes then rub
meal on the fesh-side, and put the meat
on the ashes, so as not to touch another
piece, OF the planks on the side, and then
cover the meat one inch deep in ashes
All the good the meal does, is to make the
ashes fall off easy.
When you want a piece, take it out and
give it a lick against some hard substance,
aud all the ashes will fall of and leave
nothing but the mea,. sticking, which will
be easy washed of. Unbleached ashes
of new wood will make the meat too strong
The above plan was given to rae by one
ofny neighbors. AIRS. -. She says
she has lost 10 meat by the skipper for
twenty years. have known her six years
and I have never seen nicer ham, or those
more free from skipper worms than hers
are, in my life.
