To Cure md Smoke Bacon

At this season of the year, all farmers
are preparing to salt their hams and
bacon, so We propose to give them a
recipe whereby sailing and smoking can
be done in one simple and short process.
Many Of our housewives are forced to
depend upon their neighbors for con-
veniences to smoke with. Those of Us
who own smoke-houses know how diff.
Guilty it is to smoke just right. BY this
process all trouble is avoided.
Take q large seized butter firkin, cask
OF barrel, according to the quantity of
meat you desire to smoke. Place it over
q fire Of corn-cobs with the corn on.
Meat smoked in this way is higher fla
yored, the corn seeming to produce a
better taste than cobs, or wood, or green
walnuts. Let the tub smoke from five
to SIX hours. To one hundred pounds of
meat take eight pounds of salt, two
pounds of coarse brown sugar. or three
pints Of molasses, and two ounces of
saltpetre. Rub little fine salt int the
hams and shoulders, then put the meat
into the smoked tub, cover it with cold
water, turn 10 the salt, sugar and salt
petre, cover CLOSELY, and sit in q cool
PlaCe Wbofos VIII hot iteeZe. III scum
Tis on the brine, turn it off, scald and
add little more salt. Ii desired to
keep through the summer, in the early
spring smoke the tub three hours longer,
put back the meat and turn on the brine
when cold.
In month after picking, the hams
will be ready to use. They oan be KEEP
in the brine all summer, and if han
is cut, return it to tho tub for further
use.
Beef and tongues can be kept in
the same manner, aud there is
no DANCE, from insects. In six
or seven weeks the beef is pick
led and smoked enough to try. This
is the surest and most expeditions
way Of sailing and smoking pork and
beef, and if once tried will always be
adopted.-E1.

ents, vinegar spices, raisins, etc., then
set it on the stove in an earthen or stone

and the difference in the pies is appar'

Fortune. SINK in FarminE.

j, J. Thomas says he knows farmer
over sixty years old, who has worked
hard for more than forty years. He be-
gan with o good one hundred and fifty
acre farm given him, but subject to en-
cumbrance of about one third its value.
This was a good start. He is, after a
lapse of forty years, still in debt. He
is temperate; had he not been his farm
would have gone long ago. he has
worked hard; had be not, he must have
failed. He has been economical, in it's
common meaning, or he never could have
kept even with his creditors"
What, then, has kept him back in the
worldi Mr.. Thomas has been figuring
up, and finds that he has virtually sunk
three good estates by want of manage
ment.
First. In wintering his cattle and
sheep. He kept, generally, about
twenty cattle and one hundred sheep.
Tue cattle trod about three tons of hay
under foot each year, and consumed half
ton extra by exposure to the winds, in
all thirteen tons, worth sol. This ex.
pesure of cattle aud calves reduced their
size and market value one-third; annual
increase six head, and average value lost,
IS each-S48. Ten per cent. Of his sheep
and lambs were lost by want of shelter,
and the clip was diminished twenty
five per cent. from the same cause
total loss on sheep, per annum, $50. The
whole yearly loss on cattle and sheep
was therefore, Sl69. In forty years this
annual loss, with compound interest,
would amount TO about $4,000. Thus
one fortune has been sunk.
Secondly. In want of good rotation
of crops. He raised wheat after wheat,
oats otter oats, and corn after corn, be-
cause the stubble was most easily
plewed, till his land was exhausted and
full of weeds. The crops, as a whole
scarcely paid his labor. A good rotate on
would have safely given him ose-third
more, which would have been clear
gain on an average, of at least So an
acre, on about fifSy acres, yearly-total,
$3.50 year. This loss repeated for forty
years, and interest, would amount to
more than $4,000. This was the second
fortune sunk.
Thirdly. In raising crops of weeds.
Some of bis pasture fields had a heavier
growth of mulleins, rag-w weed, johnswort
anu buioticS. tudu VI SIlso consequently
at least, half his land was wasted to
grow them. On fifty acres of pasture,
Mt least 81 each was yearly wasted, to
say nothing OF the loss of grain by
Canada thistle patches, in retarding
growth and preventing clean harvest
ing, and his greatly diminished crop OF
corn by fox-tail and pig-weed. The
annual loss from weeds was, therefore
atleast Sl00-the amount of which with
interest, in forty years, would bt
$4,000 The third fortune.
