Few articles that are more ac-
ceptablc at the table than good
smoked ham, and much of it we see
is SO impcrfectly managed in the
curing and smoking, that no person
having any pretentions to taste
could eat it with relish. Sometimes
the fault Of bad meat is in the ami
NAL itself from the manner of feed
ing, but much oftener the fault lies
in the smoking and curing Of hams.
The excellence ofthc hams depends
altogether on the right method of
sailing and smoking, and there arc
many ways of doing it, all of which
have their advocates, and do not
essentially differ from each other.
But the Germantown Telegraph re-
ccipt for curing hams is about as
good rs the best, and the least trouble.
Hogs weighing 600 pounds furnish
the proper sized hams, and should
be fed on solid food, corn being
preferred; but the ground buck
wheat scalded and made into thick
swill and allowed to get slightly
sour, will be a great auxiliary to
the rapid fattening of hogs. This
process should commence early in
the fall while tho weather Is warm,
as hogs will fatten rapidly then on
Few corn. especially if constantly
supplied with fresh cool water. But
the last two weeks of . hogs life no
should have nothing to eat besides
the solid grains Of corn and pure
water to drink, by which the flesh
will be hard and mot flabby.

Nearly all sick horses and cows
are made so, in the first place, by
eating improper food or too much
of it. AS soon as the owner finds
any of his animals sick, it is the
common custom to begin dosing
with medicine. eve mustn't leave
the animal to die; we must do
something 70 and so all manner OF
hurtful drugs and poisons are
thrust down the throat-saltpctre.
copperas, turpentine, ETC., quite
sufficient to make any well animal
sick, or kill sick one-"You didn't
give the poor thing enough-you
should have given it. oftener-you
can't expect your beast to get well
if you don't do more for it -
Our rule has always been to give
noshing unless we know exactly
what to do; and in the meantime
attend to every exterior comfort
practicable. If the weather is cold,
place it in warm quarters, avoid all
exposure, and attend to pure air and
strict cleanliness. But there is one
medicine that can never do harm,
and is commonly beneficial. This
is pulverized charcoal. AS we
have just remarked, nearly all sick
animals become so by improper eat
ing, in the first place. Nine cases
out of ten the digestion is wrong.
Charcoal is the most efficient and
rapid corrective. 1t will cure in a
majority of cases, if properly ad-
ministered.
An example Of it's use. The hired
man came in with the intelligence
that one of the finest cows was very
sick, and a kind ncighbor proposed
the usual drugs and poisons. The
owner being i'll, and unable to ex-
anime the COW, concluded that the
trouble came from some ovcr-eating,
ordered tea-cupful of pulverized
charcoal given in water. 1t was
mixed, placed in a junk bottle, the
head held upwards, and the water
with it's charcoal poured down
wards. In five minutes an improve
ment was visible, and in few
hours the animal was in the pasture
quietly eating grass.
Another instance Of equal success
occurred with young heifer which
became badly bloatcd by eating
green apples after hard wind.
The bloat was SO severe that the
sides were almost as hard as bar
rel. The old remedy, salaratus,
was tried for the purpose of cor
recting the acidity. But the at
tempt to put it down always caused
coughing, and it did little good.
Half a tea-cupful of fresh powdered
charcoal twas next given. In six
hours all appearance Of bloat had
gone and the heifer was well.
We disapprove of quackery,
where without precise knowledge
of the disease, powerful remedies
are given at random, indiscrimi-
nately. The objection of quackery
cannot extend to the use of charcoal,
for it can do no harm; and goes di-
rectly to the seat of the trouble in
most sick animals, and if timely ap-
piled, effect cure.

Candied Honey.

In an article relating to the pre-
vention Of candying in money, the
Bee Keepers Journal says it knows
Of no method that is absolutely
successful. Sometimes it has
known it to be preserved two years,
by heating and sealing it up air
tight, and adds:
After it candies honey can easily
be reduced to the liquid form again,
by adding u little water, and BRING
it to nearly the boiling point, If it
is then sealed up in alright jars or
cans, and kept away from the inAu-
ence of light, it will probably not
candy again. Some kinds of honey
will candy much quicker than
others. Much depends on the
sources of supply, the climate and
locality. In the Northern States,
honey candies sooner than in the
South, and that obtained from cruci-
ferrous plants, sooner than that from
labiate flowers, and late honey can
dies sooner than that extracted early
in the season.
w. w. Stoddard, of England, in
experimenting on the nature and
origin of honey, deduced the follow
ing conclusions: The nectar in
flowers is simply solution of cane
sugar, formed and provided for the
nutrition Of the stamens and pistils.
In the honey-sac Of the bee, this
sugar comes in contact with formic
acid. He ascribes the peculiar
tingling sensation at the back ofthe
throat, when much honey has been
swallowed, to this acid. After
standing awhile, grape-sugar begins
to form, and this continues till the
whole has been converted into
grape, when it is said to be candied.
Acetic acid is present in candicd
honey, which Injuries the taste.
The proportion of formic acid in
honey must be very small indeed, as
it is a burning liquid of an irrata-
ting odor-very corrosive, produc-
ing a sore wherever dropped on the
skin. 1t derives its name from be-
ing first distilled from the red ant
(Eor7nicn T,yu).

The vine is cut of at the top Of
the cane, above the nail. All the
buds below the nail will produce
fruit branches, which generally
grew horizontally by this way Of
training but l do not expect, by
pruning with three operations, to
secure success. First, Summer prun-
ing is in pinching off the tender
shoots soon after passing the fruit
stems; second, by breaking or cut
ting off the second growth, called
suckers, which start out near the
fruit stems; and thirdly, Winter
pruning, and which is governed
somewhat by the age of the vine.
take my pruning shears and walk
around the stake, and clip off the
branches by leaving one bud IL
each branch, which will make from
two to three large clusters. l think
there is more danger Of leaving too
many buds, than not enough, for ]
find that two we'll developed buds
will generally produce one pound Of
grapes.
In the spring of 1871, my vines
were nailed to the stakes, and pros.
poets were very good for fine crop
until the late frosts almost destroyed
the crops, as a general thing, in this
vicinity. In the month of Novem.
Der, 1871, l pruned the vines for the
past season, 1872, and summer prun.
ed as above stated, and such crop
from young vines is not often wit
messed. The grapes were all pre-.
pared in cight-pound baskets for
market. I obtained from the twelve
hundred vines eight tons as fine
grapes as ever were taken to the
city.

Training Grapes.

A correspondent of the Ohio
Farmer, in an article on grape cul-
ture, describes his mode of prepar-
ing the ground and training the
vines, as follows:
At the time Of planting the cut
tings, l had plowed two acres as
deep as strong team and heavy
plow would do it. Soon after the
leaves fell in the Fall, lifted my
young vines and cut them off by
leaving two buds, and transplantcd
in vineyard form, rows ten feet by
five, 1900 vines. After growing
one season in the vineyard, I cut
them near the ground by leaving
two buds to each plant to produce
vines from the stake, which is seven
feet long, two inches square. Six
teen inches of the lower end are
pointed, and placed in hot coal tar
to preserve from decay. contem-
plated training the vines from one
stake to the other, both ways, in
clinipg to the top of the second
stake, which wopld form network;
but after considering the trouble of
training and Inconvenience of pass
ing from one row to the other, and
Importance Of cultivating the soil
both ways, l finally concluded to
train the two vines spirally twice
around the stake, equal distance
apart to the top of the stake, and
fastcn by driving q foprpenny nail
through the stake. 1t was thought
by some that it would kill or des-
troy the vine. 1t is true that l ran
some risk, as l never knew the ex.
pertinent tried before, but rather
than be obliged to use strings ever.
lastipgly, ! ran the risk of mailing,
and to the surprise of all, we find it
does not injure them in the least,
and it makes q quick, cheap and
J sure fastening for years.

Keep Sheep.


caused partially by the Boston fire,
leads us again to call the attention
Of farmers to the value and profit of
sheep. The habit of our farmers to
change from one department to an
other, because prices Of their pro-
ducts go up or down, is not advis-
able, and we do not advise the keep
ing of sheep because mutton and
wool arc high just now, but as a
legitimate and constant business.
One thing is certain and quite
observable in the Connecticut valley
much attention is given to tobac-
CO, which has been very profitable
crop, but the tendency is to neglect
some portions of the farm and put
all the labor ond manure upon that
devoted to tobacco. A variety of
crops is, we think, the safest, and at
the same time improves the value
Of the farm as whole. 1t has
been fully demonstrated that sheep
will yield a fleece of wool that will
amply repay the farmer for the food
consumed each year. Gen. West,
of Hadley, Mass, besides the wool
clip, finds a large profit in the sale
Of lambs. To the small farmer who
pays personal attention to his stock,
the raising of sheep for mutton, if
he is near good market, will prove
remunerative with the present and
prospective prices of meat. The
profit, however, is in combining
both meat and wool. Below we give
the figures of Vermont farmer,
who has made out 4 statement in
detail, which has the appearance of
fairness, and shows good margin
of profit:
