HOW MANY FARMERS LIVE.

The State of Massachusetts, through
her Board of Health, has been looking u
little aftey the farmers of that State. and
with reg ard to the diet Of the farmers
families publishes the following report .:
l. Good bread is scarce.
2. There is too little variety in TODD.
3, Meat Is apt to be fried.
4 Baked beans and salt pork too gener-
ally used.
5 Pastry and cakes are used to an in
furious extent.
6. Too little time is allowed TOR meals.
I. Coffee and tea are too freely used.
s. Water is used to excess.
The Board of Health make the follow
ing suggestions:
There should be more fresh and less
salt meat; less frying and more boiling,
broiling and roastin2 q greater variety
Of vegetables and fruits; less pies and
cake more we'll kneaded bread, raised
with yeast; less tea.
1t is a somewhat singular fact that
farmers live SO little upon their own pro-
auctions. They send their fresh veget-
ables, fruits. eggs, AID poultry to mark
ct, and live themselves upon salt pork,
pies and saleratus. The poor cooking
which prevails, doubtless results. from
hurry-frying requires but little time
and skill, saleratus bread can be made in
a .iffy. and the bread and pastry we ca,
heavy and sodden, because kneading re-
qures time"

would find Merino wool and Merino sheep
in favor again, and source Of greater
profit than most of the time past. The
French farmers, on the chalky downs a
round Rheims and the Ardennes, were
at one time largely interested as they are
now in the Terino. The manufacturers
said to the farmers, Give us the beautiful
soft fine wool of your sheep, with fibre
long enough to comb, and we will open
new and profitable industry. The
farmers did SO, and that was the origin
of the world-renowned de.aines. Now,
1.-THE breeders of Merinos will produce
sheep of the Merino breed which can
be made to produce fiDer OF from 3 to 4
inches, both fine and strong, and can
transmit those qualities TO its offsprings
a race of sheep will be originated that
will be in large demand at good price.
The manufacture OF worsted in its va
rious ramifcations has become such a
large industry and the demand so great,
that there is no danger of lack OF an ac-
tive demand for combing wool from the
best bred and finest Merino sheep.
would venture to suggest that Vermont
wool-growers turn their attention to Me
inc combing wool, and new breed.-T

PRESERVING SWEET CORN.-It is all
very we'll. perhaps to advise the people
to can sweet corn, for the experience
may be valuable in sweetening their
tempers. but the corn will sour. If it
is we'll done, it will look beautifully
white. and be sweet Gf you add sugar
enough preparing it tor the table) but
it requires SO much boiling, aud to be
canned so quickly and so hot. that ex.
cept in the factories people are apt to
have bad luck with it. Tie thing to do
is to shave and scrape the corn from the
cobs daily during the season of surplus
sweet corr. 10 dry this on sheets OF lin
in tue sun. and thea on sheets on which
it can be moved and mixed frequently.
In hot, dry weather the corn will dry
enough in the sun. but should the wealth
err come on moist or rainy. it must be
brought into the house aud dried slow
" in the stove oven. the door being open,
upon bricks over the stove, or in sny
similar safe way. Ii must not be scorch,
nor lie in masses SO that it will ferment.
1t is no .'t,ick" to do this very well, and
it Is sweeter and better, but not so nice
looking q the canned. It is on account

There is no good reason why farmers
and their families should cal SO much
salt pork, leaving all the fresh meat to
the inhabitants of cities and vilIag es,
when the following method will keep
meat fresh tor weeks even in the arm
est weather. | have tried it for several
wears. AS soon as the animal heat is out
of the meat, slice it up ready for cook
ing. Prepare large jar by scalding it
well with hot salt and water. Mix salt
and pulverized saltpeter. Cover the
bottom of the jar with "a sprinkle of salt
and pepp Or the same as if it was just going
to the table, and Continue in this man
ner until the jar is full. Fold a cloth or
towel and wetit in strang salt and water
in which a little of the saltpeter is dis
solved. Press the cloth in tightly as
each layer is removed, and your meat
will keep for months. 1t is good plan
to let the meat remain over night, after
it is sliced, before packing. Then drain
off all the blood that oozes from it. 1t
will be necessary to change the cloth oc-
casionally, or take it off and wash it first
in cold water, then scald in salt water as
at first. In this way farmers can have
fresh meat all the year round. | have
kept beef that was killed the 18th OF
February till the Dist of June. Then |
packed large jar of veal in the same
way during the dog days and kept it six
weeks This recipe alone is worth the
price OF any newspaper in the land.

Near the close of the last century.
when England and France were waging
war with each other. the British Parlia-
ment passed law, to take effect Tor two
ycsrs, that the army at home should be
supplied with bread made from unbolt-
ed wheat meal, solely for the purpose Of
making the wheat 60 as far IS possible,
AT first the soldiers were exceeding dis
pleased with this kind Of bread, and re-
fused to eat it, but after two or three
weeks they preferred it to fine -four

CANNING FRUIT.-1 made discovery
a year ago which will benefit ever, fam
lily in the United States, if they will fol-
low it in Gaming fruit. 1t is this; take any
old fruit can. only have it tight, no mat
ter how much of the tin is off the outer
surface, and place one sheet of paper
Commercial note size) around on the
inside. 1t can be done very easily, and
will, il done right, stay just exactly where
it is placed. Then put the fruit in the
can in the usual way, and my word for
it. when Mrs Jones or Mrs. Smith comes
to take tea next winter they will not
stick up their noses when tasting the
fruit taken out of one of these paper
coated cans, and say that the fruit tasted
tinny. On the contrary, they will say
that it is just As perfect as when put in
new cans. | know there are thousands
OF farmers like myself that have their
garrets and cellars filled with old cans
If paper-coated they will be just as good
rs new. The paper need not be pasted
in. as some may think, for it will remain
in its place without paste.

potatoes are said to be covered with
these Chgramma dir Sineata, which in a
few hours destroy the leaves and cause
the vines to decay. Farmers in the
counties named fear that their early
