To Cure Smoked Bacon.

At this season of the year, all our farmers
are preparing to salt their hams and bacon,
80 we propose to give them recipe whereby
sailing and smoking can be done in one sim
pie and short process. Many of our house
wives are forced to depend upon their neigh
bors for conveniences to smoke with. Those
of us who own smoke houses know how diff
ficult it is to smoke just right. By this pro-
cess much trouble is avoided Take large
sized butter firkin, cask, or barrel, accord
ing 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 pro-
duce better taste than cobs, 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, Tor three pints of mo-
lasses, and two ounces of saltpetre. Rub
a little fine salt into the hams and shoul-
ders, then put the meat into the smoked tub,
and cover with cold water, turn in the salt,
sugar and salt petre, cover closely, and set
in cool place where it will not freeze. II
scum rises on the brine, turn it off, scald,
and add little more salt. If desired tc
keep through tie summer, in the early
spring smoke the tub three hours longer, ,pu
back the meat and turn on the brine whel
cold. In a month after picking, the ham
will be ready to use. They can be kept il
the brine all summer, and if ham is cut
return it to the tub for further use. Bee
and tongues can be kept in the same manne
and there is no danger from insects. In si1
or seven weeks the beef is picked and smo
ked enough to dry. This is the surest an(
most expeditions way of sailing and smoking
pork and beef, and if once tried will alway
be adopted. Hearth and Home.

AFTER DINNER Maps. Many persons
are in the habit of sleeping for half an hour
or an hour Immediately after dinner. This
is bad practice. Ten minutes sleep before
dinner is worth more than an hour after 1t
rests and relrezhes an1 prepares the system
for vigorous digestion. If sleep is taken
after it should be in sitting posture, as the
horizontal position is uufavorable to health
full digestion Let those who need rest and
sleep during the day take it before dinner
instead of after, and they will soon find that
they feel better, and that their digestion
will be improved thereby.

The Alabama and Chattanooga Rail
road Company, it is reported, employ
five thousand colored men as laborers,
wood choppers. sgraders and track lay
ers. The wages paid to ordinary la
borers amount to 81 20 a day, which is
more than was ever before paid for
labor in that region. Since the war
the colored plantation hands have been
receiving from IS to $40 a month, and
81 IS a day secures hands in album
dance. The colored laborers work in
gangs of from thirty to sixty with
white bosses, who are paid from 81 so
to s. a day. 1t is said that white rail
road builders have not been found
profitable in the south, since they cam
not endure the hot climate or the pro-
tracted hours. The eolored men work
for eleven and twelve hours day,
while the white laborers viii not work
over eight hours. The colored labor
ers are good workmen in every branch
except in building bridges, where
skilled white labor is required. They
are also careful Of their earnings, live
at a cheap rate, in many cases as low
as Sc a month, and deposit the balance
of their wages in the savings bank.

The tariff tax on salt is equal to ten
cents per bushel, and there are 39,000,-
900 of bushels consumed in the United
States according to close calculation,
in each year. This tax takes from
the pockets of the people three million
nine hundred thousand dollars per gear.
This entire sum, which IS taken from
the earnings of the people, with the
exception of little owe n million
one hundred thousand dollars, goes to
enhance the profits of the salt manu-
facturers of the country.
