Saving Bacon.

The following, which was a COM
munication to the Southern Cultiva
tor, will be found to contain some
suggestions that will be valuable to
farmers in this latitude, though it
was originally written for the pork
packers in Dixie, and is more par
ticularly adapted to them:
"In higher latitudes / suppose
there is little difficulty in saving
bacon, but in this, and south of this,
| know that thousands of pounds are
injured, if not totally, yearly.
"Hogs of any size should not be
killed in unsettled weather. The
wind should blow from the north.
west, and ice be, in favorable places,
at least an half inch thick, to consti
tute what we consider a good spell.
The operation of killing, scalding,
scraping, etc., should be hurried
through as rapidly as possible, in
order that those who have charge of
the lard department may get the fat
in time to finish trying the day OF
killing, as this will cause the lard
to be sweeter.
''The hogs should be cut up as
soon as possible after the days kill
ing has been accomplished, and
every piece covered with as much
salt as will lay on it, without falling
of, and spread over the smoke house,
so that the animal heat may have an
opportunity of escaping by morning.
Should the weather unexpectedly
turn warm, / prefer letting it lay
spread until the second morning
after being killed, in order to be GER
tain that the animal heat is out of it.
l then have each piece well rubbed
with wet salt, on both sides wet
the salt with boiled red pepper tea.
Whether the red pepper tea exerts
any influence in saving meat l can
not say, but suppose it does not ; it
gives the meat good flavor, and the
salt being wet, causes its effect on
the meat to be developed more rap
idly, which should be the object in
every instance, as ours Is changea
BILE and uncertain climate-coid to-
day and warm tomorrow. ! use
about teaspOonful of each of soda
and saltpetre to each joint, sprink-
ling on the flesh side directly over

"Pack the pork in boxes or hogs
heads, as close as possible. l use
about sack of Liverpool salt to the
thousand pounds of pork, determin
ing that if pork does spoil, it shall
not be lOr the want OF salt; but it
does not spoil, and l have never seen

BUTTER.-A singular method @
making butter has lately come int,
quite extensive use in France, baset
on the observed fact that cream il
being changed into butter by beinf
simply buried in the earth. Th,
theory of this result is not very in
telligible, though the fact is stated tc
be beyond question; and in Nor.
mandy and other parts of France,
butter is actually prepared on large
scale in this way. The process con
sists in placing the cream in linen
bag of moderate thickness, which is
carefully closed; then burying the
bag about fo,'t and half deep in
the earth, and allowing it to remain
from twenty-four to twenty-five hours
After the expiration of this period
the cream is found to become hard
and it Is then broken up by means OF
a wooden beater into small pieces
and enough water poured upon it to
wash cut the butter milk. To pre-
vent any mixture of earth, it is ad.
Visabie TO enclose the bag in a second
one OF larger size and coarser quality. |
This method of making butter saves
great zeal of labor, and separates
he butter more perfectly than the
ordinary process; and we are assured
hat the butter thus prepared is o.
most excellent quality.-Philadelt,hia

Storing Celery.

We have said great deal hereto
fore about the cultivation of celery
and ROW, as the crop must be pretty
well grown, we shall proceed as usu
al, at this season, to give some relia
BILE directions for preserving it thro'
the winter.
Many people complain of their
celery-One OF the most difficult
garden crops to raise In perfection
that it does not keep well through
the winter-sOmetimes it withers,
but of:ener rots. II is recommend.
ed by some that it should be preserv-
ed in the rows where it grows, and
that removal always more or less in
lures it. Where the plant is grown
in soil OF rather dry nature, it may
be kept well enough in the row, es.
pecially up to the first OF February :;
but We deny that removal Injuries it
in the slightest degree. We pursue
two modes and find both to answer
well. The first is to remove the eel
cry to high and dry ground, dig a
straight trench, spade deep, stand up
a row of plants singly, then three
inches of soil, then another row, and
so on until about half dozen rows
are finished, when commence another
bed, and so on. The soil should be
packed in firmly and banked up, so
that the tops of the celery are Just
covered, chan spank off root. fashion
to turn the rain. Over this two wide
boards, nailed together, should be
placed, as q security against moist.
ure, or straw can be bent over and
secured at the bottom with bean
poles. 1t ought to keep till May.
For remember, 1t is vater, not frost, as
some say, that rots celery. Frost
adds to its tenderness.
Another plan is to sink barrels
into the earth, so that the tops are
-wo or three inches below the sur
lace, then stand them compactly full
,f celery, without sny soil. BY this
node, somewhat more troublesome
han the other, ours kept well for the
ast three or four years until all was
consumed, which was late in the
Telegraph.
