TREATMENT OF HAMS,

Mr. Stephen Bowman, Rensselaer, Co., N. Y.
having in early life become dissatisfied with
ordinary ham and bacon, tried to improve upon
them, and at last concluded he could accom-
plish his purpose by smoking the tub instead
of the meat. He is satisfied with his plan,
which he has practiced for ffty-two years, and
communicates it substantially as follows: Place
the tub over a small fire, made OF corn cobs,
green walnut, or rock maple, and smoke for
about four hours. For one hundred pounds of
meat, Use four quarts of salt, two ounces OF
saltpeter, and two pounds of sugar. Before
the meat is put into the tub rub little salt in
near the bones, and place part of the salt in
the smoked tub; then put in the meat rather
loosely, cover with cold water, and put in the
sugar, sallssPuTer, and the remainder Of the salt
The hams will be ready for use in three weeks.
The above is for cold weather; as warm wealth
er comes on more salt is to be added and if a
stronger flavor of smoke is required, remove
the meat and brine, and smoke the tub again.
Beef may be put in the tub with the hams and
in about SIX weeks taken out to dry. Mr.. B.
claims that this method is easier, cheaper, and
better than the usual way, and that the hams
are completely kept from the attacks of insects
Amy portion of cut ham may be returned to
the brine. He states that he has kept hams in
this way until October.

py love passage, occurring in the first flush
OF Elizabeth's girlhood, and rendered deep
er and more lasting perhaps by opposition,
might have tinged her after life? And may
not some of the waywardness and strange
ness that has been laid to her charge in all
her affairs of the heart, be traced back to
this cruel blighting Of a young hearts first
romance!

and accosted the lady the house follows

moment, and then said: "You were Kent

you are in Falmouth woods, and you are

dollar and rode on. The lady happened to

They disputed and discussed, tn the first

A part Of the counterpane had been
saturated with chloroform; he had also
covered his face with it, and thus passed Oft
into the sleep of death. He had plenty OF
means, and held an honorable position, aud
no reason is known why he should have
destroyed his own life The same day the
body of Lieut.. Col. John q. Scott was found
on his bed, with both his wrists cut on both
sides, completely severing the arteries, the
blood from which had flowed into a wash
ing-bowl at one side aud in the water-pitch-
er on the other. Everything went to show
that after cutting his wrists, he must have
held them over the two vessels until Life
became almost extinct, and it must have re-
quired wonderful coolness, considering his
terrible position. An empty bottle marked
laudanum and poison, and halfa bottle OF
chloroform, were found in the room, but
there was no evidence that he had taken
poison.

+ Aneodote of, John F. Marshall,

Tho Hon. Thomas Il. Marshall, of
Kentucky, once prince of good fell
lows, was defending q man charged Of
murder in Jessamine county, Judge
Lusk,% presiding. The testimony
against tho man was strong, and Tom
struggles hard Oh tho oross-cx ina.
tion, but to little purpose, for tho old
Judge was infexible in his dctcrmi-
nation to, rule out all imnriper testi-
mony offered on the part of defence.
At last Tom worked himself into a
high state of excitement, and remark
cd that "Jesus Christ was convicted
upon just such rulings of the Court
that tried him" E."" ~
"Clerk," said the Judge, enter a
fno Of ten dollars against Mr. Mar
SHALL" ti ''". a
"Well, this is the frGt time 7 ever
heard Of anybody being fined for
abusing Pontius Pilate," was, the
quick response of Tom. ? ~" =" =
Here the judge became very indig-
nant, and ordered the clerk to enter
another fine of twenty dollars.
Tom arose with that peculiar mirth
provoking expression that no one can
initiate, and addressed the court with
MS much gravity as circumstances would
permit, as follows:,i
y"If your honor pleases, as good
citizen, feel bound to obey tho order
of the court, and intend to do so in this
instance but as I don't happen to
have thirty dollars about me, l shall
be compelled to borrow it from some
friend and as I,see no one present
whose confidence and friendship I have
so long enjoyed as your honor's,
make no hesitation in asking the small
favor of loan for q few days, to
square up the amount of the fines that
you have caused then clerk to enter
against me-"
This was a stumper. The Judge
looked at Tom and the ut the clerk,
and finally said:
"Clerk, remit Mr.. Marshall's fines ;
the State is better able to lose thirty
dollars than I am" l.f1t

-. -. rs : :
To PREPARE CoTroN SEED FOR
MAnuRE.-Mr. Dideon w. Dowse
gives tho following plan for preparing
cotton seed manure, and preventing
the immense loss Of ammonia by
gradual evaporation from tho old
fashioned seed pile, thus retaining it
in muck as the most valuable of all
food for plants:
hauled tho muck directly to tho
field, and made ten by ten ut inter-
walls. Having determined what dis
tanco wished Tho plants 10 stand :,
and how much manure to the hill, it
was an easy matter to determine the
bulk necessary to each pen to manure
an acre. then put the cotton seed
ono inch thick all over the pen, then
six inches of muck evenly over tho
seed-thus in alternate layers of one
Of seed to five of muck, until four
feet high--the muck being the top
layer.
And now for the result. When
the banks were opened, there was not
vcstige of seed to be seen-not a
I.particle of unpleasant odor, even
when handled and put to the nose.
The whole mass perfectly friahlo and
had an oily ,appearance-all going to
show that L had accomplished what is
most desirable in all manure, so fixed
the ammonia that it wasfull y secured
as food for the growing plant. The
land to which it was applied was very
old and exhausted by long and shal
low culture, that when l began to
plant it, three hundred pounds of cot
ton, or four bushels of corn to the
acre. That year, subsoiling the land,
applying about one quart Of the above
compost to the hill, gave me twenty
five bushels to the acre. Ihave used
it frequently on corn and cotton since,
always with the most satisfactory re-
suits. ! am satisfied that with deep
and thorough disintegration of the
subsoil in preparing land, frequent
and light stirring of the surface in
cultivation, and with muck and cotton
seed compost we need neither Peruvi-
an or any other guano to bring our
old lands up to 80 bushels of corn or
500 pounds of lint cotton per acre. I
have for years wished to give this
experiment. to my brother planters,
and have been deferred hither by the
fear of intruding upon space that
might be occupied by moro valuable
article.
