To MAKE AND KEEP, BAcoN.-Ed-
itors Prairie Farmer: My way is, as
soon as the animal heat is out of the
meat, to put on what deem sufficient
salt, and, when sufficiently permeated
with it, then hang up and dry with
hickory wood; put in a barrel or box,
with layer of oats, meal, or dried
sawdust between the layers of meat
This keeps it well. READER.
A New WAY TO MAKE VINEGAR.
Good vinegar can be made by putting
apple parings in a stone jug filled
with water, and kept In a moderately
warm place. Add to the water little
molasses and yeast, and it will hasten

VEGETABLE OYsrERs.-Slice a nd
boil in water about twenty minutes,
or till tender: add salt, pepper, but
ter, and after this has boiled a little,
just before serving, add cream or rich
milk.
Corn PUDDING.-Take of green
corn twelve ears, and CRATE it; to this
add a quart of sweet milk and a
quarter of pound of fresh butter,
four eggs well beaten, pepper and salt
as much as sufficient; stir all well to-
gether; and bake four hours in a
buttered dish. Some add to the
other ingredients a'quarter ofa pound
of sugar, and eat the pudding with
sauce. 1t is good; cold or, warm, with
meat or sauce; but epicures of the
most exquisite taste declare for it hot,
and with the first service. o ieTom2I +

A THoRNLEss black raspberry has
been developed in Erie County, New
York. 1t was an accidental Seeding
that came up in the yard of Mrs.
Mary Davidson, at Towada, some
years ago. The bush hes no thorns,
and the berries are of superior ex-
cellence.
The latest horticultural device is
that Of removing the stones from
fruits BY process of gradual redue-
ton. by extracting the. pith from
shoots and grating them on stocks
and their own branches for successive
seasons It is said that the expert
ment has been perfectly successful
with the Malaga grape. eaa1 'rgzg
PIcKLING CAULIFLoWERs.-I send
a good recipe for pickling caulifiow-
ers, as desired in your last. Have a
kettle of boiling water, and put in
one at time, with top down. unless
the kettle is large enough for more,
and boil it Until tender Have ready
jar of cold vinegar, with cloves and
mace; drain the caulifower well, and
put into the vinegar while hot. Cover
tightly, and it will be ready for use in
a week or ten days .-Country Gentle

SPANISH PIcKLE.-Have one gallon
sliced green tomatoes, sprinkled with
salt, and left over night drain
through a colander, have ready one
quart of sliced onions, one quart of
sliced green peppers, one half pound
white mustard seed, the same guam
tity black mustard seed. one quart
pounded or grated horse-radish. Put
them in jar alternately y with layers
of the tomatoes. and pour over the
whole sufficient scalding hot vinegar
to cover it.
CHILL SAUcE.-Two quarts pared
r,v Iorna
small pepps RS. one tea cup of sugar,
two and half tea cups vinegar, two
teaspoons salt, one teaspoon each all
spice, cloves, cinnamon, ginger. and
mace, or nutmeg Add vinegar and
spices after boiling nearly an hour;
scald altogether, then bottle for use.
FEEDING GREEN FoDDER.-Cattle
and horses will eat an enormous
amount of green fodder, if fed fresh
to them in the stall. Serious evil
sometimes comes from this practice,
as the animals eat too much, and
bloat, as when turned into rank
clover. 1t saves labor to cut early,
and let the corn, oats, clover, sor-
ghum, or whatever else used as green
fodder, wilt thoroughly, and thus
lose a good part of its water, before
feeding it out. Mich cows can hardly
eat too much regularly; and after
feeding all day in the pasture, If
cow will eat good forkful of green,
corn fodder, the result will surely be
seen in the pail Green fodder ought
to be fed in racks, in the yard, and
the cows yarded at night. Two-thirds
of all their manure is thus saved, and
the dung heans ornX almost as fast In
