Where Did the Rich Man Co.

Little Johnny was preparing for Sunday school
situated some distance away, when his mother
saw one of her neighbors approaching in his We.
hiele. This neighbor, by the way, was called
the " rich man." being both wealthy, kind heart
ed and liberal to the poor. johnny ran out, and
the rich man took HIM into his vehicle, as he
was going right past the Sunday school. Ii was
a very hot day, and so johnny took off his shoes
and stockings to keep himself cool. When they
arrived the exercises had already begun, and as
the man going TO a church about mile be-
yond, and he agreed to call for Johnny on his re-
turn he concluded not TO put on his shoes and
stockings again, but leave them in the vehicle.
So he trIpPed lightly into the school, aud the man
drove away toward church.
The teacher was just bearing the lesson, which,
by the by, Johnny WAS not acquainted with,
which was the fate of the rich man aud Lazarus.
Soon after Johnny took his seat, it came to his
turn tn answer u question.
johnny, can you tell me where the rich man
wentn
He went to the Baptist meeting" replied the
little lad, thinking only of his late companion.
'NO no, my son; the rich man went to hell; -
said the teacher with great impressiveness, while
the scholars were tittering with laughter.
did he" exclaimed the lad, in all honesty.
"Then he has taken my shoes and stockings with
him." and up he jumped, and seizing his hat, he
put out of tie school room and down the road to
overtake the rich man, and recover his property.

RAPID PICKING MEAT.-The following is an
English recipe: Roll the meat in u mixture e
l6 az. salt, w. of saltpeter, and sugar, so
that all parts may be completely sailed; then
wrap closely in piece of cotton cloth, previous
ly we'll scalded and dried, and place in a porcelain
or other vessel. The cloth is essential with
small pieces, to retain the brine formed in
tact with the meat. After about sixteen hours,
however, some brine will drain off into the bot
tom of the vessel, and it will be necessary then
to turn the meat, still wrapped up, daily. A
piece of six pounds, treated in this way for six
days, then nnwrapped and boiled, will be fonnd
quite palatable aud sufficiently picked. For
large quantities the cloth may be dispensed with,
since the brine formed will be sufficient To
the mass, provided the pieces closely packed,
aud any unavoidable cavities filled with stones.

OuaEity in Pork,

We all know what a difference there is in pork
Breed has something to do in this matter, but
not so much as many suppose. 1t is the kind OF
feed that makes kind in pork. Use milk or whey
largely and your pork is sure to be soft and fab
by, and will fry away at least hall, what is left
is not relshable. Hence our dairy pork is our
poorest pork, varying according to the amount
of grain that is fed. So still fed pork is in bad
repute. Miscellaneous feed makes ordinary pork
often quite ordinary. Stop will not do, for
there seems to be too much water. Grains are
what is wanted to make good sweet pork pork
that is sold well and will fry well Rank pork
is uncomfortable, and yet there is much of it. and
some people like it-like the pork flom large
strong hogs.
A dirty offensive sty is no doubt an element in
producing strong and even ftetid pork. Have
clean quarters, clean animal, 90 I'd ventilation,
and feed grain For drink give cold, but not in
any way foul water. Corn for feed is the best,
and old corn at that. Do not house too close nor
feed too sharp; look to the convenience of the
hog, and fat him so that he is in good condition.
not over fat, with possible diseased parts about
him in consequence, the pork being affected by
it. Old corn submitted to heat will yield most
pork, but it is doubtful whether the quality is as
good as when raw fed. So probably with all the
grains
in the quality of pork. Where the dairy is ex-
cluded and the grains are fed, there is good solid
pork; and unless the hog is old and large we
find it to be sweet. We find il difficult to get
Boou PoTh among the dalT men, mat is, pork that

kept here. We are fattening pig for our own
use of mixed breed of Chester White and Berk-

him water too. We expect the first quality of
pork, and weshall not be disappointed We have
practiced this for years and seen it practiced and
with unvarying success. The pork is always
