Susar-Cured Hams.

The New York Tribune thus sum-
marizes the mode of converting
hams into "sugar cured" in Chicago:
About million sugar-curcd hams
are put up in one western city alone.
The manufacture or the art of cur
ing them, and their successful pack
ing for preservation, is SO nice an
operation and requires so much care
and skill that an expert manager
readily commands $3.50 month for
his services. The hams chosen are
Of an average weight of fourteen
pounds each, and they lose in the
curing two or three pounds each OF
this weight. The brine is carefully
preserved from one season to anoth-
err, and is supposed to increase in
strength as it increases in age. One
packer uses brine seven years old,
and another who removed to a dis
tant city had his brine barreled and
shipped to his new place of business
with his other stock in trade. The
waste of salt, sugar, and other sub
stances absorbed by the meat, IS of
course replaced by constant addi-
tons. One packer is said to use
$4,000 gallons OF syrup yearly in
the preparation of his pickle. The
brine is formed of water, sugar
house syrup, saltpetre, salt, and cer-
tain other ingredients. in proportion
as the experience of the packers diff
fer. Casks are filed with this brine,
in which green hams, assorted by
weight, are soaked from thirty-five
to fifty days, according to different
weight Of the hams.
When the hams are removed
from the pickle they are immersed,
for IL short time, in clear water, and
hung up in the smoking house for
drying, which is an important part
in the process of preserving as well
as tiavoring. In this process the use
OF hickory timber is considered in
dispensiblc. This finishes the cur
ing process. Next they have to be
prepared for market in such a man
ncr that they will be preserved in
definitely. This preparation is as
follows: Each ham is immersed in
thick paste wash, largely composed
Of chrome yellow, which fills up ev-
cry interstice of the subsequent I'M
der and outer garments carefully
wrapped and sewed upon it. Then
comes the wrapping in thick brown
paper. rnd the stitching upon it of
the closely-fitting case Of cotton
cloth. Next the brand is placed
upon it and the ham is ready tor
the market. These hams are an ex-
tensive article of export, and are
shipped to Europe, Canada, Mexico,
the West Indies, and South Ameri-
CT. The largest market in the Uni.
ted States is Philadelphia; New
York and Boston next.

Shrubbery.

A front yard properly filled with
ornamental trees, would be imper-
feet without a few free Towering
shrubs, dropped around in hooks
and corners, where a tree would oc-
cupy too much space, and it would
be too bare without anything. Then
the space of green lawn directly be-
tween the house and street may re-
ceive few choice shrubs, either
scattered singly, or in groups.

lcctions may be made, with GER

How II REMOVE STAINS AND
Spots FROM MARBLE FURNITURE,
ETc.-The only stain which Sapolio
will not remove is 4 "stain upon

nantes, tables, china, table ware,
carpets, furniture OF every descrip-
ton, or any article of household or
nament or use, the deepest dyed
stain can instantly be washed out
forever by the use of Sapolio. 1t is
as cheap as ordinary bar soap, and
will always do exactly what is
claimed for 1t, if the simple direc-
lions arc followed.

THREsHING TIMoTnY.-The best
way to get oat timothy seed is 10
thresh it with a fail; for although a
machine will WORK more rapidly,
yet the seed which it cuts and
wastes, more than overbalances the
advantages. When thrcshed out,
then spread it out on the floor, 60
over it again thoroughly with the
fail; then pass it very slowly
through a fanning-mill, so as not to
blow out the seed (which can be
soon learned by examination); then
pass 1t through sieve fine enough
for the clear seed to pass, but re-
tanning the chat: covered seeds, and
thresh the latter again-and so on
till i'll IS saved. For home use, all
this care is unnecessary, but only
to fit it for market.
