Keeping Apples.

TIE keeping Of apples through the win
ter, though better understood than former
ly, is not as perfect or systematic as it
ought to be. After all, this is our great
fruit, and no want OF knowledge should
be left unsupplied as to the best method
OF prolonging il in state Of freshness apd
soundness to as late period as it is sus-
ceptible of. A large proportion of apples
IS lost by imperfect storing. We know
many of the best farmers pick, barrel, and
send to market as soon as possible, and
this is doubtless judicious; but there are
many others whose crops are not large
enough to pursue this plan. They desire
to preserve them for the home.market or
their own consumption, and for this pur-
pose either bury them in the earth or store
them in bulk on shelves or bins in the
cellar or attic In burying, they both
rapidly decay and lose their flavor; in
shelving them in cellars in large quaint.
ties, they will scarcely keep beyond the
flrst of January and in putting them in
the attic they freeze, however much they
may be covered.
The best way we know Of IL to have
shelves erected in the cellar expressly for
lTuit--pears and apples. Let them be
about two feet wide and one foot apart and
as many end as long as may BE- desired,
commencing six to twelve inc'Ies from the
bottom. The shelves should be formed of
stats two inches wide and one inch apart,
and the fruit laid in single layers. The
Yer should have close board bottom

To Cure and Smoke Bacon.

AT this season of the year, all our farm
ers are preparing to salt their hams and
bacon, SO we propose to give them recipe
whereby sailing and smoking can be done
in one simple and short process. Many
OF our housewives are forced to de, end
upon their neighbors for convenience 10
smoke with. Those of us who own smoke
houses know how difficult it is to smoke
Just right BY this process all trouble is
avoided. Take a large sized butter
trkin, cask, or barrel, according to the
quantity of meat you desire to smoke
Place it over fire of corn-cobs with the
corn on. Meat smoked in this way is higher
favored, 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 salt
petre. Rub little fine salt into the hams
and shoulders, then put the meat into the
smoked tub, cover it with cold water, turn
in the salt, sugar, and saltpetre, cover
closely, and sit it in cool place where it
will not freeze. If scum rises on the
brine, turn it loft, scald and add little
more salt. If 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 a month after picking, the hams will
be ready TO use. They can be kept in the
brine all summer, and if ham is cut re-
turn it to the tub for further use
Beef and tongues can be kept in the
same manner, and there is no danger from
insects. In six or seven weeks the beet is
picked and smoked enough to dry. This
is the surest and most expeditions way of
sailing and smoking pork and beef, and if
once tried will always be adopted. Hearth

The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1869-05-20

We publish this week a communication
from Mr.. Reeve and from member Of the
old board of trustees. We have no com
ment to make on either. Our columns
are open to all communications, of a
proper charac ter, which we think will
prove of interest to our readers We
wish to merely remark that we think Mr..
Reeve can hardly accuse us of unfairly
stating his position last week in our
quotations, as his whole article exactly as
he wrote it, Immediately preceded oui
comments. We think the matter has al
ready consumed more space than its ina
portance demands, but as We have opened
the door we cannot. consistently refuse
any party interested fair hearing. r.

THE AMENDMENT

We have no lang uage to express our
contempt for the dish onorable, villain
Gus conduct of the radical members of
the legislature, with reference to the
18th amendment. Every member who
sanctioned the fraud Ga full account of
which We publish in another column)
has written or registered himself a
scoundrel or fool.
Their action was as unlawful as it
was uniust,'bus the instigator of it, o.
P. Morton, has pledged himself to see
that the U. S. Senate accepts it, and
therefore, to all intents and purposes,
the voice of Indiana has been given in
favor of negro suffrage.
The will of the people, the law, jus
tice, the constitution Of the United
States, and of the several states, are all
made subservient to the necessities of
the radical party. We have no gov
erament, and no rights are sacred.
How long the people viii submit to
this tyranny is for the futue to deter
mine. We hope the time will speedily
come when the perpetrators of these
outrages on the people will be brought
to justice if it does not, then we are
unfit for free government, and, with
all our boasting, are..the most degener-
ate,' cowardly and imbecile race on the
civilized globe.

You are doubtless all familiar with

ratification of the proposed negro
amendment; of their unanimous re-
election the eonyenirg of the extra

members that the consideration Of said
amendment should be postponed and
made the special order for May IL, at
2 o'clock, and further pledge that it
should be again postponed until May
IA, at 2:30. O'Clock. Upon these
pledges the democratic members quail
fed and took their seats, a large
amount of business was transacted,
and everything went on in order, until
the forenoon of May IL, when por-
