Curing Meat.

At this season OF tue year the thoughts
Of almost every farmer naturally turn
more or less to the process of killing meat
Tor the winters use. Most farmers have a
pig or two TO salt down, and some have
mutton or beef, and the quality of meat
which is TO furnish food for the family
vii! depend q good deal on the way it is
cured.
There are various modes Of curingameat
but one of the best. perhaps, is that sug-
gested by the Germantown Telegraph,
which is as follows:
To one gallon of water take one and q
half pounds of salt hall pound of sugar,
half an ounce of saltpeter, half an ounce
Of potash. In this ratio the pickle to be in
creased to any quantity desired. Let these
be boiled together until all the dirt from
the sugar arises to the top and is SKINNED
of. Then throw it into o tub to cool, and
when cold, pour it over your beef or pork,
to remain the usual time, say four or five
weeks. The meat must be covered with
pickle, and should not be put down for at
least two days after killing, during which
time it should be slightly sprinkled with
powdered saltpeter, which removes all the
surface blood, &c, leaving the meat fresh
and clean. Some omit boiling the pickle,
and find il to answer we'll, though the ope
ration of boiling purities the pickle by
| throwing off the dirt always to be found
in salt and sugar.
If this receipt is properly tried it viii
never be abandoned. There is none thai
surpass it, il so good.

Corn Cobs as Fertilizers.

as follows:

or less, MS % fertilizer on my corn-patches;
and by comparing the corn in these with
corn where the cob was not used al fer
ti!izer, pronounce it a most excellent cheap

Piled. My method is to run two fugrows,
throwing out both ways the distance you
wish the rows, with the turn-plow; put
down three cobs to every hill of corn-say
three cobs to every three feet; bed on them
and plant on the bed; cultivate IN the
usual way. | will say to planters--try it,;

Carrots fer Horses.

work on the horse, and similar statements
are made IL other horse books: Il i

little provender of which the
horse is more fond. The following &C.
count of the value OF the carrot is not ex.
aggerated: This root is held in
much esteem. There is none better, nor
perhaps so good. When first given, il is
slightly duretic and laxative; but as the
horse becomes accustomed to it, these ef-
iects cease to be produced. They also iu-

A Simple Weather GLASS.

This little instrument, says the journal
of Chemistry, is prepared Ill the following
way: Take glass about ten inches in
length, and one inch In diameter, fill 1t up
with the following liquid: Two paris
camphor, one part nitrate of potash, and
enc part sal ammonia, and dissolve in
spirits of wine, add water until you have
partially precipitated the camphor The
extremity of the tube can be left open or
Theoretically sealed. The gloss tube thus
prepared Is then fixed in q horizontal po-
sition against the wall or a board.
The changes in the weather are thus in
Dictated:
/. If the weather is to be fine, the com
position of the substance will remain en-
trely at the bottom of the tube, and the
above liqnid will be perfectly clear and
transparent.
q Before the weather changes to be-
come rainy, the percipitate Will rise by de-
grees, and small crystai1ations similar III
shape to stars, will be seen to move about
the liquid.
3. When the storm ia imminent, the
precipitate will nearly rise to the top of
the tube, assuming the shape ofa leaf or
an assembiage of crystals; the liquid will
appear to be in state of effervescence.
This change very of.en takes place TWEEN
ty>four hours before the change in the
weather.
4. The side from which the wind will
blow in a squall will be also indicated by
the particles of the substance floating in
the liquid and assuming the shape of long
hairy needles.
5. Ia the summer time, the weather be.
ing warm and dry, the capitalization will
have tendency to remain lower in the
tube, and tho liquid viii also be more trans
parent.
The amount Of crystalized particles
which viii be seen floating IN the liquid
will be sure sign or indication of fine or
bad weather; will depend entirely upon
the saddenness OF the change in the
weather which Is 10 take place, acting in
the most energetic way on the composition
above described,
The value of this simple instrument TO
foreuarn OF an impending storm, and also
to indicate the continuance of fine weather,
will be readily appreciated by those whose
occupations are affected in the change o.
