Curing Pork

Some thirty years ago ! lodged from
Saturday to Monday with an innkeeper in
the country, who was also a farmer. On
the table for Sunday dinner, there was a
nice piece of picked pork, boiled the dav
before. On tasting it, thought it was the
most delicious | had ever tasted. Ire.
qEested "mine host" to give his receipt
for curing pork. lie replied as follows:
As soon as my hogs are dressed and
cool enough to be cut, pack the sides in
barrel or cask, with plenty of salt on a II
sides of each piece, and when my barrel
Is full Immediately roll it to my pumn
and pump In wafer until | can see the
water cease to sink in the vessel. or to
moisten the salt on top of the cask. |
then lay fiat stone as large as the vessel
Will receive, on the contents, so as to keep
The pork always under salt or pickle. |
put 1t In my cellar, covered so as to ex-
clude the flies, and there it remains until q
piece is wanted, Care must be taken to
keep the meat under the pickle, otherwise
1t will rust"
Here Is the whole secret of making good
picked pork for family use. We have
lSei the above method, and we want no
9e''er' easier or more economical plan.
IT has often happened that when we
"anteq TO put down fresh pork there re-
Llalne4 some OF the old in the bottom of
tne GaSk. In that case we poured off the
pickle, TOOK the undissolved salt, packed
the fresh pork on top of the old using the
SIT winch had been in the cask, with the
addition OF fresh salt if necessary, and
then poured out the old pickle or water
IN IniS way we have had pork three OF
Tour years N the bottom of our pork bar

rancIdIty as 1t was three weeks after

THERE is a possibility, if not proba-
bility, that Venice, the former queen
of the Adriatic, will again assume a
proud position in connection with COM
mercial and maritime affairs The
Mount Gents Tunnel and the Suez
Canal routes place her again in the line
of direct communication with India,
and the valuable trade of the Orient
promises to find it's way through her
long deserted canals.

Withdrawal from Circulation.

The one dollar gold pieces, it is an.
nounced, are to be withdrawn from cir
culation. In the time when gold and
silver were the common currency of the
country a very large number of them
were in circulation, but these have been
gradually absorbed until now not much
more than twenty millions of them are
out. These will be called in at once,
remelted and coined into larger de-
nominations.

have large quantity of grapevines
planted In the open ground, and trained
on poles and wires along the gravel walks.
In planting these | had the holes dug
about twenty-five inches deep; [ then
threw into each hole FIVE or six humps of
plaster, about the size of my fist. I threw
little earth over these Jumps, and then
planted the vines in the usual way. The
result has been wonderful the vines which
were not half an inch thick when planted
three years ago, are now two inches and
more in diameter, and bear finely. The
grapes are also freer from disease. Other
vines, not so treated, are mnch smaller
and produce less, the fruit being also
more liable to disease. To try the effect
of this plaster, IN planting two American
black walnuts, we put the plastar to one
and not the other The former grew twice
as fast as the other. Last year we dug
about the roots of the one to which no
plaster was put and we threw in seven or
eight large Jumps Of plaster among the
roots; the trees are now both of the
same size, and though only four years old.
