RECEIPT FOR CURING MEAT.-To one
gallon of water, Take ] TBS. of salt,
fb. of sugar, ! OF. of saltpetre, ! OF. of
potash. In this ratio the pickle can be
increased to any quantity desired. Let
these be boiled together until all the
dirt from the sugar rises to the top and
is SKINNED off. Then throw it into a
tub to cool, and when cold, pour it over
your beef or pork. The meat must be
we'll covered with pickle, and should
not be put down for at least two days
after killing, during which time it
should be slightly sprinkled with
powdered saltpetre, which removes all
the surface blood, &C., leaving the meat
fresh and clean. Some omit boiling the
pickle, and find it to answer well,
though the operation of boiling purifies
the pickle by throwing off the dirt al
ways to be found in salt and sugar. If
this receipt is strictly followed, it will
require only single trial to prove its
superiority over the common way or
most ways of putting down meat.

WASHING LIGHT CoLoRED CALICoEs.-
Take a tablespoonful of alum and dis
solve it in lukewarm water to rinse a
print press. Dip the soiled dress into
it, taking care to wet thoroughly every
part of it and then wiring it out. Have
warm soap suds all ready (but only
pleasantly warm to the hand-hot water
always fades calicoes), and wash out
the dress quickly then rinse it in cold
water. Have the starch ready but not
too hot, only warm, rinse the dress in
it, wiring it out, and hang it to dry, but
not in the sun.-Always place your
line where the wind will strike it rather
than the sun. When dry enough to
iron, bring in and iron directly. Prints
should never be sprinkled, but if al
lowed to become rough dry, they
should be ironed under damp cloth.
It is better to wash them some day by
themselves, when washing and ironing
can be done at once.

lFrom the Chicago Times.

The name of Dr. r. v. Pierce has be-
come as familiar to the people all over the
country as household words. His wonder
full remedies, his pamphlets and books, and
his large medical experience, have brought
him into prominence and given him solid
reputation. The Tunes, in the present is
sue. presents a whole-page communication
from Dr. Pierce: and our readers may gain
from it some idea of the vast proportions of
his business and the merits Of his medicines.
He has at Buffalo mammoth establishment,
appropriately named ''The Worlds Dispen-
sary." where patients are treated, and the
remedies compounded Here nearly hun
dred persons are employed in the several
departments, and a corps of able and skilled
physicians stand ready to alleviate the SUI
ferings Of humanity by the most pprsvs
methods. These physicians are in freGaent
consultation with DR.. Pierce, and their COM
bined experience are brought to bear on
the successful treatment Of obstinate cases.
The doctor is a man Of large medical ex-
perience, and his extensive knowledge OF
materia medica has been acknowledged by
presentations Of degrees from two Of the
first Medical Colleges in the land How
meritorious his works are, may be inferred
from the fact that his pamphlets and books
have been translated into German, Spanish,
and other foreign languages, and have been
in heavy demand. As an evidence Of the
business of the dispensary, it is only neees-
saIy to state that for the quarter ending
March 81, 1874, the sum expended for pos
tage alone, not to speak Of that paid on
newspapers received, was S2,OsO 20.

BoRAx FOR CoLDs.-A writer in the
Medical Record cites number of cases
in which borsx has proved a most ef-
fectual remedy in certain forms of colds.
He states that in sudden hoarseness or
loss of voice in public speakers or sing
ers, from colds, relief for an hour or so,
as by magic, may be obtained by slowly
dissolving and partially swallowing, a
lump of borax the size ofa garden pea or
about three or four grains held in the
mouth for ten minutes before speaking
or singing.-This produces a profure
secretion of watering" of the month
and throat-probably restoring the
voice or tone to the dried vocal cords,
iustas "wetting" brings back the missing
notes to flute, when it is too dry.

FISHERMEN in some parts of Europe
and of this country kill fish with knife
or bludgeon as soon as they are taken
from the water, because fish thus killed
are found to be better than those which
have long gasped and struggled before
dying. The Dutch, for example, destroy
life by making slight longitudinal
incIsion under the tail with sharp in
strument. On the Rhine they kill
salmon by thrusting steel needle into
their heads. Fish may be easily killed
by striking them a quick, sharp blow
with small stick on the back of the
head just behind the eyes, or by taking
them by the tail and striking the head
quickly against any hard substance.

A HANDY GARDEN RoLLER.-Take a
joint of stove-pipe, 6, 7 or 8 inches in
diameter set one end upon an inch
board, and with a scratch-awl or pencil
mark around on the inside reverse the
pipe and mark the other end. Then
with pair of compasses find the GEN.
ter of these two wheels, and strike
around their circumference, allowing
for the iron. Saw or cut them true and
round bore hole with bit in their
centers, to receive shaft of half-inch
round iron about three inches longer
than the length of pipe. Now fit in one
of these heads, and upset the sheet iron
pipe over it enough to hold 1t firmly in
place. Put the shaft in and set the
whole end on the ground, taking cere
that the shaft stands true; and lastly
put in a quart or two of dry sand, and
stamp it hard with a suitable rammer,
repeating the operation till the pipe is
full to within once inch of the top.
Fit in the other head with the shaft in
and you have roller as serviceable as
one of all iron, and at almost no cost.
To fit it for use. make a box of inch
stuff fit handle to it, sloping at an
angle of 20 degrees from its bottom
board put cross head to the end of
it, and for garden or walk roller this
can not be beaten. If wanted heavier,
it can be loaded with brickbats or earth
and for wheeling stones or rubbish off
garden or lawn or newly plowed or
spaded grounds, it will be pronounced
by all who try it "tip-top." ANY man
or boy who can use a saw, plane and
hammer. can make one in a few hours,
and with decent care it will last as
many years.

Scientific.

NEW IRON PROCESS. of the late
processes in metallurgy consists in the
manufacture of puddled iron direct
from the ore, the use of the blast fur
mace being dispensed with. Instead OF
pig iron, the inventor uses compound
which he calls iron-coke. being mix
ture of ore-or any substance contain
ing iron-the necessary fuxes, and the
equivalent of carbon. A lump of this
compound is put into the furnace, snd,
by the single process of balling, q
cheat" is obtained in considerably less
time, as we'll as with less labor, than
under the old method, and without any
melting or boiling.
The saving of fuel is claimed to be
the great feature of this system. Six
tons of coal are required, on an aver
age, to produce single ton of bar iron,
by the ordinary plan, two tons being
consumed in the blast furnace, and
four in the finished iron works. The
proto1ide of iron containing IT'S per
cent. requires 21. 43 of cal bon and the
magnetic oxide containing 72.4 per
cent, requires 32.17 of carbon. Ad-
mitting, therefore, the employment OF
the three descriptions of iron ores in
the making of cast iron, by the new
process, then thirty pounds of carbon
would suffice to Produce one hundred
pounds of cast iron or a ton of iron,
weighing 2,40O pounds, would require
$50 pounds of carbon-a great saving
as compared, with the ordinary method.
The advantage, therefore, which this
method is considered to possess, is,
that when, according to the common
process, heavy pieces of solid pig iron
are placed in a pudding furnace to
be melted, the greater portion of the
heat is wasted, and, after it is liquefied
much longer time is required to
eliminate the carbon which it contains
and other extraneous elements of which
it is composed, with a continued i'm
mense waste of fuel while, on the
contrary. when the ''iron coke" is
thrown into the heated furnace, the
carbon which it contains Immediately
acts upon the oxygen contained in the
ore.

How TO DRESS A TURKEY.-Take a
board four feet long, one and half
feet wide, bore an inch hole in the
centre about eight inches from one
end saw out a strip from this end to the
hole about one inch wide, or wide
enough to admit the neck of the turkey.
Place this board on a barrel, with one
end against your hips. Lay the turkey
on this board on its back, with its neck
in the slat and head underneath then
with sharp knife cut its throat under
the board Chat the blood may be out
of the way; take the turkey by the
legs, draw steadily, to keep its neck in
place, raise it from the board, that it
need not be bruised, and commence at
once to pull out the tail and wing feath-
ers, and by the time it is done kicking
you will have nearly all the feathers off.
You will find that they will come off
nearly as easy as if scalded. The pin
feathers, if any, should be taken out at
once. When dressed, carry to tine
house, lay the carcass upon the table,
on the back, with its wings in position,
wipe dry, and when you get through,
call in your wife. and you may be sure
