Picking Pork and Curing Hams.

We have published. says The Home
stead, from time to time, some good re-
cipes for picking pork and curing hams,
but the following, by a correspondent i'm
the Country Gentleman, may serve Il
good purpose at this time. for many of
our readers who did not have an Oppor-
tunity of reading them:
"FOr each 100 pounds of pork, weigh
out 8 pounds of salt. After the meat is
cold, rub each piece well with part Of
the salt. Repeat the operation the next
day. The third day take the remainder
of the salt. which should he about five

KEEPING GRAPES FRESH FOR WIN.

fresh grapes in winter or even up to
the next spring, they can be had with

the punches only in a dry, warm day,
and place for at least three days; then
commence to pack them in paper box

boxes should not contain more than
three layers in thickness. Then place

Among the mountains of Tennessee and
the piney woods of Mississippi, is found a
certain hard and fiinty root, which has been
in secret use by some old midwives for many
years, possessing magic powers in regulating
and restoring all female suffering with any
affection of the womb. This root we have
obtained. gave it u fair test in our practice

Many females suffer in some way at eacch

Itis a popular error to believe that
the materials for kals0miping are
very expensive, and also that few men
have sufficient skill to apply the liquid
ever after it has been properly pre-
pared. For this reason, people are
frequently decei ed into paying exor.
bitant prices for this kind of work.
The materials employed arc good
clear glue, Paris white, and water.
Paris white is sold in New York city
and Brooklyn for two TO three cents
per pound. I~tinerant kalsomihers
frequently charge twenty-five cents
per pound ; they "use nothing but the
genuine silver polish, which IS scarce,
and very expensive"
In case the wall of a large room, say
sixteen by twenty feet square, is to be
kalsomined with two coats, It will re.
quire about one-fourth of pound of
light-colored glue and five or
six pounds of Paris white. Soak
the glue over night. in a tin vesse,
containing about q quart of warm
water. If the kalsominc is to be ap-
piled the next day, add a pint more of
clear water to the glue, and set the
tin vessel containing the glue into a
kettle of boiling water over the fire,
and continue to stir the glue until il
is well dissolved and quite thin. II
the slue-pail be placed in a kettle OF
boiling water, the glue will not be
scorched. Then, after putting the
Paris white into a large WATERFALL
pour on hot water, and stir until the
liquid appears like thick milk. Now
mingle the glue-liquid with thu
whiting, stir it thoroughly, and apply
it to the wall witha whitcwash brush
or with a paint-brush. 1t is of littl,
consequence what kind of an instru
ment is employed in laying Oh TIT
kalsomine, provided the liquid il
spread smoothly. Expensive brushes
made expressly for kalsomining, ma,
be obtained at bruslI-factories, and a
some drug and hardware stores. Blu
a good whitewash-brush, having lon;
and thick hair, will do very well. Ii
case the liquid is so thick that it vii
not flow from the the brush so as t.
make smooth work, add a little NOR
hot water. When applying the kalso
minc, stir it frequently. Dip tn
brush often, and only SO deep in tn
liquid as to take as much as the hal
will retain without letting large drep
fall to the floor. If too much glue b
added, the kalsomine cannot be lai
on smoothly, and will be likely
crack. The aim should be to apply
thin layer of sizing that cannot b
brushed off with a broom or a DIR
cloth. a thin coat will not crack.
