Select two or three healthful and we'll fattened
hogs 1--WE prefer those whose ages are ten or four.
teen months, and whose weight averages two
hundred and fifty pounds metz and cut mp the
clear middlings in suitable sized pieces. When
properly cooled, put layer of salt at the bottom
of the cask, at least once inch thick, and then
pack tightly one layer of clear pork, each piece
on its edge. Now put salt on again to fill up the
interstices between the pieces and make another
layer of salt successfully, till the cask is nearly
full, putting over the last layer two inches SO
of salt. Now take cold water and make brine
as strong salt will make it, and pour this brine
over the meat, putting in enough to cover the up
per layer of meat with the brine.
We have pork put up this way year ago, and
which is as hard and as perfectly sweet as any
one could possibly desire. The moment it is
slowed and packed away it needs no more atten-
ton OF watching.
The top of the barrel should be made small
enough to be put over the meat, with a weight
pressing it down. This gives easy access to the
picked pork and keeps it under the brine. No
one need fear using too much salt. Use it lavish
ly and, when the meat is all gone take the brine
and scatter it the manure heaps Just as it is
being hauled out to the field. Used in this way
it will be worth to the farmer all that it cost him.
especially if applied where early corn or early
potatoes are being planted to be followed by tur-
nips. Land that has been dressed with salt ma
nure has been put in grand preparation for crop
Of turnips.-ExchaRge.

Many years ago, by way of testing certain
principle, we set two gate posts, the one top and
the other butt dOwnwartis. The latter was taken
from the lower and might be supposed the best
end of the log, and all were entirely sound. We
had, some years since, occasion to remove these
posts; the latter was entirely r0tted off and the
former would have lasted some six, eight, or more
years longer We tried two pieces Of post fence
with similar results.
1t is such experiments as these that have got
into our head and most mems heads, the notion
that post set top downwards will last longest.
Such practical tests are of more importance in
deciding such questions than all the philosophical
reasons that could be produced.
Although we have heard of no philosophical
reasons why post set downwards lasts longest,
Yet We have one of our own. 1t is moisture for
instance, that rots timber. Keep it dry and it is
exempt from decay. There are many kinds of
vegetables that will propagate from the slip-for
instance, the currant, grape willow, etc. These
although separated from any connection with the
root continue to elevate the moisture from the
earth, SO as to cause their growth. OF course the
vessels of post timber if placed in the ground ac
cording to the arrangements of nature, will ele-
waite the moisture and keep the timber damp; but
if that order is reversed, it remains comparatively
dry-hence the principal reason, no doubt, why a
posts lasts longest top downward.-Okio Farmer.

WATER PRooF ENGLISH PATENT HARNESS
BLAcKING-Mr. George Dobson furnishes us the
recipe for this well-known backing. 1t will keep
the leather soft, and properly applied, gives a
good polish. 1t is excellent for buggy-tops; har-
ness, etc: Old harness, if hard, may be washed
in warm water, and when nearly dry, grease it
with neats-foot oil. The ingredients are three
ounces turpentine, two ounces white wax, to be
dissolved together over a slow fire; then add one
ounce of ivory-black and one drachm of indigo, to
be well pulverized and mixed together. When
the wax and the turpentine are dissolved, add the
ivory black and the indigo, and stir till cold.
Apply very thin; brush afterward, and it will
give o beautiful polish.

KILLING PoULrRY.-The mode followed by all
dealers is to break the neck. This method has
the following advantages. Death is very speedy
it is clearly and less revolving; and it is certain
the bird eats better than when all the blood is
drained. The manner is thus: The bird is taken
by tine legs and wings in the left hand, while
the head is held in the right, the body and neck
head is then bent backwards and pulled at the
same time. Dislocation takes place, and the
body is held in the same position two or three
minutes for the blood to run into the neck. Then,
and not before, plucking should begin.-Poaitry
