SUGGESTION TO TREE PLANTERs.-ThOse about
to set out young trees, or fruit-bearing orna-
mental shrubs, should remember that the great
leading object is to obtain thrifty growth on
cherries. These may have half of each yearling
shoots removed.
But it is of the utmost importance that this
cutting back be done before there is any swelling
or expanding of the buds, otherwise the growth
will be checked by the operation instead of
accelerated. This is especially the case with
cherries and plums, which start more feebly than
peaches and grapes main reason why cutting
back has failed with some, is doing the work af-
ter the buds have swollen or leaves expanded

BEST METHOD For KEEPING BEEF.-Cut up
the meat in pieces as larg cas- you desire. Pack it
lows: 1-2 lbs salt to one gallon water, or.
s:ltpetre to 100 lbs. beef Tablespoonful of ground
pepper to 100 lbs. beef. Put in the salt and salt
petre and heat it boiling hot skim it, and add the
pepper. Pour it on the beef boiling hot and cover
closely. Your meat will be good and fresh any
time. The philosophy is ths-the hot brine closes
the pores on the surface, preventing decay and
the meat from getting too salt. Try it. If nee
essary scald the brine over in the spring, or put
on new brine. Farmers can in this way have
fresh meat nearly all the time. The meat should
be taken rs soon as it is cold, before it has ac-
qured any old taste by exposure to the atmosphere

How TO TEMPER CELLARs.-See to your cellars
When the air is cool and dry, open the windows;
this, in night, will fill it with cool, fresh air
what you always want in a cellar. When the air
is damp outdoor, rigidly exclude it, shut tight,
and keep tight. Of all things, next to heat, damp
ness is not wanted in cellar. Close, also, when
the south wind blows, as that will drive the cold
air ont of your cellar; the window shut, the cold
air will remain. This course will preserve your
fruit and vegetables, and favor everything kept
in cellar. of course yOu are to avoid frost; but
you want fresh air; not much however in a
room, as the air of cellar is not Initiated by
breathing The thing is simple, to keep uniform

Almost every farmer has his own particular
eipe ior curing his pork and hams But this Is
not saying that every one Of them succeeds in
producing q frst-rate article and there isnO doubt
but some, ut least, might improve upon their
present mode Of curing hams. The followiDgf four
recipes are those after which the premiums were
| cured that gained u prize at the Maryland State
Fair:
FIRST PRKMUM.-Mix two and one half pounds
saltpetre, finely powdered, one half bushel fine
salt, three pounds brown sugar, one half gallon
molasses. Rub the meat with the mixture; pack
with skin down. Turn over once week and add
q little salt. After being down three or four
weeks take out, wash, and hang up two or three
weeks until it is dry. Then smoke with hickory
wood three four weeks; then bag or pack away
in a cool place mot cellar) in chaff or hay
Thomas Lore.
SECOND PREMIUM.-The meat. after being cut
out, must be rubbed, piece by piece, with very
finely powdered saltpetre, on the fleah side, and
where the leg cut off tablespoonful mot heape)
to each ham, a desert spoonful to each shoulder,
and abont half that quantity toeaeh middling and
jowl; this must be rubbed in. Then salt it by
packing thin coating of salt on the flesh side of
each piece, say one half an inch thick; pack the
pieces on a scaffolding, or on floor with strips
of plank laid few inches apart all over it Chat
is, under the meat;) the pieces must be placed
skin side down, in the following order: First
layers, hams; second, shoulders; third jowls;
fourth. middlinss; take the spare ribs ont of the
middiings. The meat must be in this wise six
weeks if the weather is mild; eight if cold, the
brine being allowed to run freely. Hoaard
McHenry.
THIRD PREMIUM-Halfbushel of fine salt, three
pounds of brown sugar, two and one half pounds
saltpetre one half gallon best molasses. Mix these
ingredients together, then rub each piece well
with the mixture until al be absorbed The meat
must he taken ont; there is to be plate of alum
salt added to the pickle.-Mrs I'm. II. Harrioh.
