Mess Pork.

SEVERAL ask what part of the hog is
manufactured into "mess pork" and how it
is made. Cut off the head, the shoulders,
and the hams, and the sides that remain
make mess pork. Sometimes the should
ers and the cheeps are also included. The
tenderloin and spare-ribs are usually taken
out and eaten fresh, but the ribs are not un-
frequently cured with the sides without
being taken out. The method of curing
is very simple. Cut the sides in the direc-
ton of the ribs into slices about six inches
wide, and pack them round the barrel,
commencing at the outside, and working
towards the middle. Make the layer as
close and tight as possible. Cover the
layer with an inch of salt, put on another
layer of pork, another layer of salt, and so
on until the barrel is full. Then cover

A Good Rat Trap.

FARMERS who are troubled with these
pestiferous, destructive rodents about their
barns and stables, might try the following
plan given by the Journal of the Farm :,
Take barrel, which will hold water, cut
the head little smaller than the top of the
barrel, pass a string through the center of
the head, and hang it up so that it may
hang perfectly free inside the barrel, three
or four inches below the chine. Now, put
in five or six inches of water, and drop
some grease on the top of the barrel head,
which you must balance by lacking on
some thin pieces of lead place your trap
where the rats can get on it easily, and it
is ready. They come up to the grease, and
in stepping on one side of the head the
other naturally tips up, and in goes the rat.
The head soon gains its equilibrium, and
is ready for another. Sometimes, when
there is considerable grease around where
they can get it they won't take it for bait
In this case, put little anise-seed in your
bait"

Hints from a Housewife.
PERHAPS some of vorr bousekeen

PERHAPS some of your housekeeping
readers do not know of certain economi
cal expedients in domestic management
that have somehow crept into our prac-
tice. Brooms are so generally used and
abused, that, their freshness worn off, they
are too soon discarded. When a broom
begins to succumb to wear and tear, place
it in pan of boiling water for few sec
onds, shaking it well, and drying it quick
ly in the sun or near the fire. If the bot
tom edge is wearing unevenly, tie string
around it until it is dry, and trim off the
uneven edge carefully. Whisk-brooms
should be treated in the same way.
Clothes-pins boiled few moments and
quickly dried, once or twice month, be-
come more flexible and durable. Clothes
lines will last longer and keep in better
order for wash-day service if occasionally
treated in the same way.
We have discovered a first-rate home
made cement for filling up cracks in an
old stove or range. The ingredients are
wood ashes and salt, equal proportions in
bulk of each, or little less of salt; reduce
to soft paste with cold water, and fill
cracks when the range or stove is cool.
The cement will soon become perfectly
hard. We keep an iron spoon in an old
tin pan on hand, ready for duty whenever
a crack appears. Fire clay obtained at
the stove dealers) will sometimes answer,
but our homemade cement is always at
command.
Never discard the old lids of the worn
out cooking stove when the iron-monger
takes it away. They can be heated so
quickly, and when wrapped in cloths and
placed around or upon the body in cases
of severe pain, will be found invaluable.

Sweeny.

In common parlance, horse is said to
be sweenied when the muscles of the
shoulder appear to have perished away,
and the skin seems to be attached closely
to the shoulder blade. These symptoms
may arise from chronic lameness in the
foot or other part of the limb. In such
case, of course, it is of no use to apply
remedies to the shoulder. Cure the foot,
and the shoulder will come right, al
though stimulants and rubbing will ex-
pedite it. But genuine sweeny, as l un-
derstand it, is quite different from the
above, although the appearances are the
same 1t is caused by hard drawing in
collar that is too large; or where no Whit
fletree is used, but the traces are hitched
directly 10 the thills, as in Jumpers" as
they are called; or by jumping fences, or
the like.
Real sweeny may be discovered by NOV
ing the horse in circle, or causing him to
step over bars, when you can generally
determine the seat of the lameness. For
such cases irritants, with friction, is the
proper treatment. Blistering liniment, or
seton, or piece of leather inserted under
the skin, will cure, with the rest. The
writer once cured horse by blistering,
and upon turning him out, sometime after
ward, he jumped high fence, and the op-

How a Fortune was Lost.

A WRITER in the Gentlenpdn's Magazine
relates an anecdote of one of the founders
of Christ's Hospital, London, which very
fairly illustrates the sort of impulses
which govern people in willing their prop
erty to public institutions. His name was
Hunt, and under his will Christ's Hospital
now receives an income of about 9120, 900
a year. He was city merchant, bach
elor, and lived with his brother This
brother had sons and daughters, who were
brought up with the expectation of en-
joying their uncle's property at his death.
But there's many slip 'twixt the cup and
the lip, and couple of sharp words at
dinner one day between the brothers dissi-
pated all their expectations to the wind.
The bachelor had a perctGnt for new pota-
toes and melted butter, and one day, when
the potatoes and the butter-boat happened
to come into suggestive cOntiguity, the
epicurean millionaire stuck his fork into a
potato, and dipped into the butter-boat,
and swallowed it. "Excellent" Beast
lyp' answered the brother. Beastly-do
you mean to say that I'm beast?" Eyes,
do. The man who can dip potato into
the butter-boat in that way, must be a
beast" The words were quickly spoken.
1t was not so easy to recall them. You
may ridicule mans opinions, expose the
Stiffness of his crotchets, laugh at his
preiudices, and quiz his personal appear
ance-and he will forgive you. But there
is one limit to this personal criticism. A
mans tastes at table are above criticism,
and an alderman's sacred. Mr.. Hunt
thought so. He tore up his will at once
cut off his heirs with the NEUROLOGICAL
shilling, and left all his spare cash and
estates to Christ's Hospital.

the top layer with salt-and always keep
it covered. Make a brine with boiling
water, (cold will answer if not convenient
to boil it, putting in as much salt as it will
dissolve, and pour it into the barrel until
all the pork is covered. The great point
afterwards is to be sure and keep the
brine at the top of the barrel saturated
with salt. IF the barrel is headed up, it is
good plan to turn it over, or upside
down occasionally, as the salt is apt to
settle at the bottom while the top brine
may be too weak.-American Agriculturist.

Grass Lands.

IT is not profitable use of manure to
apply it to meadow land in the spring, un-
less it is thoroughly decomposed. Then
the earlier it can be spread, the better for
the grass. But if it is desirable to apply
manures to keep up the yield, the best
time is directly after moving. The ma
nure then protects the roots and crowns
of the plants from the intense heat, the
soil does not become hard and dry, and the
aftermath is rank and thick. By spring
time the water will have carried the fertil-
izing properties into the sod, and the grass
will receive their full benefit in the next
growth.
Leaf mold, decayed sod, and even rich
earth, may be mixed to great advantage
with barn-yard manure to make dressing
for meadows. We have seen good results
from the application of earth alone to
-plats-especially to those long seed
ed. On clay soils it is better TO use allu-
vial deposits, and on sandy, or rather light
lands, apply clay.-Americdn Rural Home.
