(. GOOD HAMs.-After hams have been
smoked, take them down and thorough
1y rub the flesh part with molasses, then
Immediately apply ground or powdered
pepper, by sprinkling on as much as will
stick to the molasses. Hams treated in
this manner will keep perfectly sweet
fUh two or three years. This must be
done before the fly deposits its eggs,
after this is done, nothing will stop their
ravages. The above has been practiced
in some sections for over twenty years
No soaking is necessary. One pint of
molasses and one and half or two
pounds of black pepper are sufficient for
any ordinary family.

value of, Poultry Manurs.

There is no manure made OH farm so
valuable as that OF poultry. One ounce
of it properly diffused in half pound
of. soil, and placed IN hill of corn when
planted, will be as powerful a fertilizer
as ten times its weight in barnyard ma
nure. A. foreign writer says: I'm France
as well as in our own country, most
eminent chemists have proved by anal
lysis that poultry manure is most valu.
able fertilizer, aud yet, for want of prop
er system in housing poultry it has as
yet not been rendered available to rural
economy, The celebrated Vauquelin
says that when the value of manures is
considered with relation to the amount
of szote they contain, the poultry ma
nure Is one of the most active stimulants;
and when, asa means of comparison,
the following manures are taken, in
parts of l,800 ID will be found that horse
manure contains 40 part azote; gtiano,
as imported, 0.7part azOte; guano when
sifted of vegetable, &C., $50 part aZote;
poultry manure, $50 part aZote." ,I.,-. -.

II. How TO HAVE MEALY PoTAToEs.-It
is very common thing IN the spring to
find strong, watery potatoes on the table,
unless care has been taken to select and
preserve them. A poor potato is the
poorest article Of food that can he had;
as soon as they begin tn sprout theyIwill
begin to grow poor and watery, the best
part of tile root going to the support of
sprouts hence, to have mealy, nice pO-
tatoes, 1t is necessary TO keep them from
exhausting thimsclves in that way. An
exchange gives the following method of
preventing the potatoes from spr0uting.
which we hope will be tried and approv-
ed: Take good, sound potatoes. place
them in tub or barrel, and pour ,hoil-
ing water over them until the eyes are
scalded so they will not sprout; dry the
potatoes thoroughly in the sun, and put
away in box or in cool, dry place.
This will givea good menly potato all

Chronic Catarrh usually affects the head,

ably caused by Immoral or inhammatory

made sore or innamcd, predicting a copi

produced by Scrofua in the blood it is al
most certain to end in Consumption, un-
less speedily cured, because it is impossi-
bic to entirely prevent the matter from
running down the Bronchial into the air

scaldng property Of the matter, its con-
tact with the delicate Innings of the air

LET Us DIVIDE THE sTATE'
Is the title of the leading editorial in

Gle. Alter referring to the election
frauds in New York city, the article
concludes as follows: ~
We see no remedy for these evils
but to divide the State and set New
York city and county and the counties
OF Richmond, Kings Queens, sand Suf-
folk OF as separate Stale. We have
only to obtain the consent of the State
and of Congress and we are then re-
lieved OF all further trouble. Let the
new State be called Manhattan, or per-
haps, II the New Workers like It better,
Tammany, We will not stand upon
the name, provided we7can be rid OF
them. 1t would be entitled, as now, to
nine Representatives in Congress, two
Senators. and eleven votes in the Elec-
toral College. We should then secure,
without fear of fraud and corrup.
uon' twenty-two Representatives
on, the side of freedom, and tWenty-
four votes in the electoral college. The
population of the new State wonld be
one.third that of the present State,
equal with Massachusetts, equal with
Michigan and New Jersey together,
with Connecticut, Rhode Island, Yer
mont, and Now Hampshire altogether,
equal with Indiana, and equal with
Kentucky. 1t would stand sixth In
population in the order. OF States. It's
majority in the election of 1858 was
S14t Democratic. and in 1867, IS DOT.
Kentucky would have TO look 10 her
lRurels as the great Democratic Goliah
of States, particularly as her new COM
petltor could, on a weeks notice, man
ufacture all the votes which might be
necessary to secure the gold ball and
the championship. With New York
city and its confederate counties shut
