ACETATE OF SODA FOR PRESERVING
FocD.-A new process for preserving
alimentary substances has lately been
| communicated to the Academy of
Sciences of Paris, the essential feature
OF which consists in the use of acetate
of soda, instead of the common salt
ordinarily employed. The substance
to be preserved is to be placed in a
barrel, with layers of the acetate of
soda interposed in the proportion of
one-fourth, by weight; and in winter
the temperature must be at least 68
degrees F. After "a hours the barrel
must be turned, and in 48 hours the
operation is completed; the salt having
then absorbed the water of the meat,
which may be kept in the pickle. or
dried IN the air. Any vacant spaces in
the barrel, after heading up, are to be
hlle'i with brine, of one part of the
soda salt to three of water. The old
pickle may be evaporatedt to half of
the original bulk employed, and recov.
cred, for subsequent use.
For cooking, the meat thus prepared
is to be soaked from ~ to "a hours in
tePld water containing $50 grains Of
sal ammoniac to the quart. This salt
decomposes the acetate of soda in the
meat, forming common salt, and an
ammoniacal acetate which causes the
meat to swell, and restores TO it the
odor of fresh meat. It is claimed
by the author of this process that by
simply removing the intestines animals
may be readily preserved whole.
Fish, poultry, and game. have been
80 treated. After sailing meat may be
dried in the stove, losing. thereby
one.tourth in weight. Fish cannot be
subjected to this operation of drying.
Vegetables may be treated by this pro.
cess, but before sailing they should be
heated until they lose their rigidity.
IN a hours they may be pressed and
dried in the air. When used thew
must be stepped u hours in fresh
water.
A necessary condition of the employ
meat OF this process is the keeping of
the food thus prepared perfectly dry,
as the salt is hygromotric, and absor6s
moisture from the atmosphere

High F8Plnin1.

A noted farmer of New England,
after visiting England and examining
with the critical eve of practical and
experienced agriculturist the system
pursued there, says:
| am thoroughly confirmed in my
old faith that the only good farmer Of
our future is to be the "high farmer. ~
There is widely prevailing antipathy
among the common farmers of our state
against not. only the practice of high
farming but agafnst the use of the
phrase by agricultural writer's. This
Is all wrong and should at once be cor.
rected> Through some misconception
Of the meaning of the phrase, and also
OF it's application, they have come to
believe it synonymous with theoretical
book farming" "new-fanRled no
lions, boosted strides Of progress, fol-
lowed by disappointment and final fail
ure. This is all an error. High farming
simply means thorough cultivation,
liberal manuring, bountiful crops, good
stock, good feed, and paying profits
therefrom. It is not strange that
misconceptions have arisen in the
minds OF doubling farmers who have
been eye-witnesses to some of the
spread-eagle experiments of enthusiast
tic farmers, better supplied with money
obtained in q business they know how
to manage than with practical expe-
rience on the farm. Bountiful crops
and paying profits of course are what
all farmers who are dependent upon
the farm for an income are striving to
obtain and every year as it passes is
confirming the opinion that the
profits are small, and will grow a" beau.
tifully less where high farming is not
practiced. =

It is stated that spirits of tllrpentine,
if applied to the seed few hours be-
fore sowing, will eftectually prevent
the destruction of the young Seeding
by the fly. The best way to use it IS
to wet the seed with turpentine and
allow it to remain wet about half IN
hour, then dry it with plaster or ashes,
and SOW AZ usual. We are assured by
parties who have tried it that it il an
excellent preservative. The cost is very
small, and we believe no evil can re-
suit. In some cases the seed has re-
manned wet with turpentine for several
days before: being sown, and no per-
ceptible evil arose from the delay. One
gentleman assures us that he has used
this application for ten years, and has
never lost any plants by the fly. On
questioning him closely as to the mo-
dsts ol2erandi, he states his belief that
the turpentlne passes into circulation
with the sap of the plant, as it can be
distinctly detected by tho peculiar
taste it possesses when testing its pre-.
sence by choosing some of the young

brought in curious stimid little man,
the :palpable embodiment of myths
which have been current for ever, so
long" By means Of gifts and Kind
ussSe the pigmT was induced to take a
seat when he. WAS measured and his
portrait taken. He stated that he was
the head of q family, living half an
hours journey from Tie capital ! that
his tribe arc called Acca, and that their
country lies south OF that OF the Nom
buttu !; that they. had been con-
quered by the latter, and settled III the
neiehborhood Of the royal resi-.
dence. His height was one metre
(thirty-nine inches), and albeit he had
q pendent belly and very slender
shanks, he performed incredible feats
OF agility. On the next day several
others Of his tribe induced by the
promise of gifts, paid our traveller 1
visit, and they too were measured and
had their portraits taken. It is to be
regretted, however, that during the
entire three !eka stay of the doctor
at Munsa's court, he never had tho
good fortune TO see q pigmy woman.
But why did he not :go to the settle
ment and visit the ladies himself 2s,,.-.:
The Acca are noted warriors, not

fought sham battles for the entertain
ment of the traveller. 49,,
The only domestic animal among the
Acca is the common barnyard fowl, and
it is worthy OF remark that an ancient
mosaic at Naples pictures the pigmies
in company with such fowls. The
Acca are much superior, morally, to the
Bushmen, and are of great service to
King Munsa, who, in turn, deserves
the thanks of ethnologists for saving
