WHAT Fowls TO KBEP.-The choice
OF breeds is so much matter of fancy,
that one can hardly advise another
about them without long dissertation.
Brahmas are good layers. sitters snt
mothers and are great favorites; hesYy
fowls, active, but will not fly; flesh good.
Light Brahams are not very expensive;
dark now are quite 50. White Leghorns
are persistent layers, do not sit, fly ike
pigeons; very pretty, nice, economical
fowls. Of French fowls, select Houdans,
which are good sized, speckled, homely
fowls, persistent layers, and hardy; ex
cellent for the table. Ifyou must be eco
nomical, bay two trios OF the breed you
prefer, and a lot of common fowls. Sc
1ec'ing light colored, large bodied, feath-
er-iegged pullets, next spring save the
your pure pullets. and you will stock
your yard with forty or fifty fowls with
little expense. Should yea wish breed
of more fancy fowls, you have your
choice among Polands Of various eolurs,
Hamburgs, ETC., which are great layers;
Cochins, which are not superior to Brah-
mas; Black Spanish, which lay the hand
soonest eggs laid by any fowl, and many
of them, are very beautiful, but delicate,
as are alss thu Creve Coeurs and La
Fleche breeds, which excel most others
as layers and table efowl.-American Ag-

To CURE AND SMOKE B4CoS.-Af this
season Of the year, ali our farmers are
prepaYing TO salt their hams and ba.
con, so we propose 70 give Them re-
CENT whereby aalhng and smoking can
be done IN one simple and short process.
Many ef our housewives are forced 10
depend npon iheir neighbors for conye-
nieaces 70 smoke with. These Of US who
own smoke houses know how difficult
ii is 10 smoke jnst right. By this
process all trouble is avoided. Take
large sized butter frkin, cask or bar
rel. according 10 the quantity OF meat
you desire 10 smoke. Place II over IRE
af corn cobs Mith. the corn on. Meat
smoked in this way Is higher Favored,
the corn ssesusng TO produce a hsl4
taste than COTS. or weod. or green val
nuts. Let the tub smoke from FIVE to
six hours. To one hundred pounds oC
meat take eight pounds Of salt, two
pounds Of coarse brown sugar, or three
pints OF rDoIRsses, aud two ounces salt
petre. Rub q little fine salt into the hams
and shoulders, then put the meat into
the smoked Tub, cover i. with water,
torn in the salt, sugar and saltpelre,
cnyer closely, and set in q cool place
where il will not freeze. If scum Fis
on the brine turn il of, aid and add
little more salt. If q sired to keen
| through the summer, in be early spring
| smoke the Tub three hours ! .Dger, IN {
back the meat ard turn or The brine
when cold.
