bill in full
Mr. Henry said that he was not me-

But that when competent men had consid-
cred the matter, and there was so wide
discrepancy in their estimate and that of
the contractors, he could not conscientious

Mr.. Barnes said the figures appeared to

WOODEN RAlIwAYs.-A wooden rail-
road has bcon laid on new plan in Mon
trcal, and is c complete success, ifrcport
is true. The rail is composed of upright
blocks, three and half inches thick and
seven inches long, resting on two longita-
dinal stringers, eight inches deep, one on
each side, checked out or rabotcd an inch
deep and five inches wide, so that the up
right projects two inches above the top OF
the stringcrs, which are bolted together
Such track will bear engines oftwenty
tons weight, will last a long time, and will
not cost more than one-fourth as much as
iron. The greater width Of the bearing
for the wheels is an important considera'
ton. 1t would not cost very much to try
this plan for street railroads.

OiIirfg Farm Implements.

The Boston Culticator gives the follow
ing sensible and practical advice to it's
readers:
every farmer should have a can of
licensed oil and a brush on hand, and
whenever he buys new tool, he should
soak it well with the oil and dry it by the
fire or in the sun before nsing. The wood
by this treatment is toughened and
strengthened, and rendered impervous to
water. Wet new hay rake and when it
dries it will begin to be loose in its joints;
but if well Oiled the wet will have but
slight effect. Shovels and forks are pre-
served from checking and cracking in the
top of the handle by oiling; the wood
becomes smooth as glass by use, and is far
less liable to blister the hand when long
used. Axe and hammer handles often
break where the wood enters the iron; this
part particularly should be TOUCHED with
oil to secure durability. Oiling the wood
in the eye of the axe will prevent it's swell
ing and shrinking, and sometimes getting
loose. The tools on a large farm cost a
heavy sum Of money; they should be of
the most approved kind. 1t is poor econ
omy, at the present extravagant prices of
labor, to set men at work with ordinary
old-fasloned implements. Laborers should
be required to return the tools to the places
provided for them; after using, they should
be put away clean, bright, and oiled. The
mold-boards of plows are apt to get rusty
from one season to another, even if shell
.tcred they should be brushed over with
few drops of oil when put away, and they
will then remain in good order until
wanted

Premium Hams.

The following recipes for curing 1000
pounds pork hams took the several pre-
miums offered by the Maryland State Agri-
cultural Society at its exhibition in 1868:
First Premium.-Mix q lbs. saltpeter,
finely powdered, busel fine salt, lbs.
brown sugar, !! gallon molasses. Rub the
meat with the mixture; pack with skin
down. Turn over once week. and add
little salt. After being down 3 to 4
weeks, take out, wash, and hang up or 3
weeks, until it is dry. Then smoke with
hicory wood orr weeks; then bag, or pack
away in cool place-not cellar-in chaff
or hay. Examine occasionally, and renew
dry packing material Ihomae Loye.
Second Premtum.-The meat after being
cut, out must be rubbed, piece by piece,
with very finely powdered saltpeter, on the
flesh side, and where the leg is cut off,
tablespoonful mot heaped) to each ham, a
dessert spoonful to each shoulder, and about
half that quantity to each middling and
jowl; this must be rubbed in. Then salt
it, by packing a thin coating of salt OH the
flesh side of the piece, say half inch thick,
pack the pieces on scaffolding, or on a
floor with strips of plank laid a few inches
apart all over it, (that is, under the meat;
the pieces must be laid skin side down, in
the following order; list layer, hams; I'd,
shoulders; Sd. jowls; 4th, middlings-take
the spare-ribs out of the middlings. If
the hogs are very fat, pare the fat carefully
from the flesh side of the ham. The meat
must not be frozen. 1t must lie in this
wise: six weeks, if the weather is mild,
eight if very cold-the brine being allowed
to run off freely. The smoking is an
entirely different matter, and will require

Third Premium.-t bushel of fine salt, 3
pounds brown sugas, 2! pounds of saltpeter,
! gallon best molasses. Mix those ingre-
dients together, then rub each piece well
with the mixture, until all be absorbed.
The meat must be taken out of the pickle
once a week for six weeks; the two first
times the meat is taken out, there is to be
a plate of alum salt added to the pickle
which the meat makes-4Mrs. Vim. H. Mar

Fourth Premium.-2s pounds saltpeter,

Liverpool salt, pounds brown sugar, and

the meat well with same, and pack with
skin down. 1t should be turned OCCASION

The above is the exact amount required
for LOCO pounds of pork. After being in
salt 3 to weeks, take out, wash clean the
pieces, dry, and hang it up for smoking.
Three weeks is sufficient to smoke them

When smoked, take down and bag, or pack
