PICKED PoRK.-As soon as the hogs
are dressed and cool enough to cut
up, rub the side pieces we'll with salt
and pack in a barrel with plenty Of
salt on all sides of each piece of meat,
and when the cask is full, place on
the top fiat stone, as large as the
vessel Will receive, so as to keep the
meat always under the pickle. This
done, fill up the cask with strong
brine that has been previously boiled
and allowed to get cold. In about
four weeks take up the meat, again
rub well with salt; pour out the pic
kle, boil and skim SO long as the skum
rises, or until he.pickle is clear. If
not clear it is well to pass it through
cloth. Rinse out the cask, pack
the meat well into it with more salt,
and when the pickle is perfectly cold
pour it over the meat. Care must be
taken to keep the meat under the
pickle, otherwise it will rust. Be
sure and put in plenty Of salt; the
meat will take no more than enough
to keep it sweet. The next summer
take out the meat and again boil the
pickle, and proceed as above direct

How TO Fri A COLLAR TO HORSE. -
In purchasing a collar for your horse,
it is important to get one that fits, as
both the animal and yourself will
thus be saved much annoyance. The
Harness and Carthage Journal says:
Theplan adopted in the West, and
which, we are assured by men who
have been long in the collar business,
does not injure the collar in the least,
is to dip it in water until the leather
is thoroughly wet. then put it on the
horse, secure the names firmly, keep
ing it there until it becomes dry. It
is all the better if heavy loads are to
be drawn, as that causes the collar to
be more evenly fitted to the neck and
shoulder. Ii possible, the collar
should be kept on from four to FIVE
hours, when it will be perfectly dry
and retain the same shape ever after
ward, and as it is exactly fitted to the
form of the neck, will never produce
chafes or sores on the horses back.

BILE in a muslin bag; put this into a
wide-mouthed bottle, such a one as is

would do. After about three days

And hold your purpose everi
And if sou fail to do the rest,

Your crown is worth the wearing;
Then never fret if left behind, f
Nor slacken your endeavor;
Bnt ever keep this truth in MIND, st
