AT Portland, Or, April 16, the cru.
saders prayed and sung for over four
consecutive hours during the afternoon
in front Of Moffett's saloon. Lunch was
brought them by other ladies' from their

cited crowd assembled and several fights
occurred. Pistols were drawn on one or
two occasions and one man was severely

Freezing Pork.

Several writers on the subject Of sailing
pork and curing hams, after giving all the
details necessary to success, enjoin it upon
their readers never on any account to let
their meat freeze.
Some months since an interesting paper
on this subject was read at meeting Of
the Princeton, N. j., Farmers Club, by
Mr.. Guild which he closes by saying un-
der no circumstances let your pork freeze, :"
but fails to give any reason ,cay it should
not freeze.
We have taken some pains to make in
quiries of butchers and others engaged in
packing, to learn why pork should not
be allowed to freeze. We have failed to
find any one yet who thinks freezing is any
serious injury to pork. One butcher, in
reply to our question, said if freezing
spoiled pork, there was not much pork that
was not spoiled Thousands of tons of
frozen hogs are brought from the West
every winter and cut up here and cured,
As near as we can get at the matter il
meat of any kind is frozen and thawed
repeatedly, some of the juices are set free
and drip away from it, and if the process
is continued long enoug, the meat will be.
come dry and tasteless.
Packers agree that frozen pork should
be sailed pretty soon after it thaws, but on
no account should it be sailed while frozen.
One butcher told US he kept his beef tongues
fresh several weeks in winter, by simply
immersing them in strong brine Pork
that is sailed when frozen will generally
faint before the brine strikes into tn
e. Farmer.

To fatten a horse that has fallen of in
flesh is sometimes tedious business-in-
deed, the work of months. The following
suggestions to accomplish it, however,
though without paternity, look to us as wise
and to the purpose. Many good horses de.
your large quantities Of grain and hay and
still continue thin aud poor; the food eaten
is not properly assimilated. If the usual
food has been unground grain and hay,
nothing but change will effect any desira-
bic alteration in the appearance OF the AM.
NAL 10 case oatmeal cannot be obtained
readily, mingle a bushe Of haxsecd with a
bushcl Of barley, one OF oats and another
bushel of Indian corn, and let it be ground
into a fine meal. This will he fair pro-
portion for all his food. Or the meal, or
the barley, oats and corn, in equal quanti-
ties, may irst be procured, and one-iourth
part Of oil cake mingled with it, when the
meal is sprinkled on cut food. Feed two
or three quarts Of the mixture two or three
times daily mingled with peck Of cut hay
and straw. If the horse will eat that
greedily let the quantity be gradually in
creased until he will eat four or six quarts
at every feeding, three times a day. Sc
long as the animal will eat this allowance
the quantity may be increased little every
day. Avoid the practice of allowing a
horse to stand at a rack well filled with
hay. In order to fatten horse that ha.
run down in flesh, the groom should be
very particular to feed the animal no more

Some Of our readers who have watched
eats or dogs while doing, have probably
been amused at the movements showing
that they were really dreaming, in their
way. A correspondent tells this story of
cat which evidently had dream
She was very still, aud appeared to be
fast asleep, when suddenly she sprang into
the middle Of the room, where she fixed her
feet on a limited spot on the floor, to which
also her nose was applied as if closely
grasping something which she held with her
claws. This continued for a short time,
when the nose was gently raised, aud the
visible attention was directed to the feet,
which still continued their grasp; but after
time one of them was gradually removed,
and then the other, on which puss appeared
greatly at loss to imagine whittier the
imaginary object could have gone so as to
escape her grasp. She looked in various
directions along the floor with foolish face
of confusion; and then again her attention
was directed to the spot on which the feet
were closely pressed as if to examine
closely whether the presumed escape had
been by sinking through the floor and
when this seemed unsatisfactory, the disap'
pointed animal, now widely awake, retired
slowly from the spot but she returned
more than once to re-examine the place, al
if she found it impossible to comprehend
how an object she had so plainly seen anC
grasped should have sunk into nothing
Many minutes elapsed before this cat ap
peared to be reconciled to the conviction
that what had seemed dream was not il
truth q reality.

4 Man who Knows Beans.

A farmer near Brockport, Monroe county,
n. Y, commenced some twelve years ago,
by the purchase Of fifty acres Of TOD. 1t
,yos bofora .Lo 49, 40 iahu, and he bought
Is1 atty dollars an acre, much Of it being
considered of inferior quality. He was in
debt for considerable part Of the purchase
money. He planted nearly the whole of
his farm, the first year, with beans. The
war made an active demand for beans, at
high prices; he got good crop and sold
for 81 to 81 30 per bushel Doing SO well
the first year, he repeated the experiment !;
bought more land, until he now owns three
hundred acres Beans are and have been
his main, though not, as at first, his only
crop. Two years ago he planted about one
hundred and forty acres. The planting is
all done by machine made especially for
the purpose, and the cultyatng is done by
horse labor, He hires the beans pulled by
the acre, $3.50 being the usual price. Wo-
men and children do much of this work
and as it is done by the acre, there is no
disputing as to bow much each laborer
earns. There are ups and downs in prices
low prices being the rule since the war
but Mr. - has found his bean crop al
ways profitable one. In seasons when
beans are injured by the weather, he furn-
ishes great amount Of work for poor peo-
pie in winter in manipulating his enormous
crop. His example and success have proved
contagious, and the result is that beans
have been grown more largely within six or
ten miles Of Brockport than in any other
section of similar size in the world Many
farmers have grown rich by growing them,
and during the war it was not uncommon
for men to make the value Of their land
from Il single crop, well sold,

Purpose OF the Prayer-Meeting.


When we meet together in social prayer
we supply condition without which the
Spirit of God could not, TO the same ex-
tent, affect our minds. We do not so much
draw God down to us, as lift ourselves up
to God. BY opening the God-ward side Of
our own souls, and reaching with longing
desire and faith towards him, aided by the
words and desire and faith Of each other
and receiving from each other the degree
of the Spirit possessed by each, and espe-
cially all united in one voice of prayer in
song by these means we are brought into
that state of mind which renders US more
susceptible to the Spirits influence, and the
Spirit affects our minds, kindles our devo-
tional emotions more, becomes conscious,
felt, living presence and inspires in us
thoughts and feelings as he could not if we
had not engaged and continued in those de-
votional exercises. 1t is plain then that
the purpose Of u prayer-meetiug is not to
merely ask for blessings, and wait for God
to bestow them sometime as we would ask
friend to do an errand for us; but it is
to induce in ourselves that mental state
which renders us diviney susceptible, and
brings us into spiritual union, and COM
munion and intercourse with the Spirit Of
God. This explains the effects of a series
of meetings. 1t is not that there is really
more of God there, but that we become
more susceptible to the ever-surrounding
Spirit, and becoming mentally and spiritu
ally imbued, possessed, filled, with the Di
vine: there is more Of the experienced
manifested, operative God upon the mine
of the world. God enters the opened door
and dwells within us, and becomes powc
acting through us upon others and affect
ing them meditately through us, as h
could not affect them Immediately.
