AGRICULTURAL.
PROCESS OF CONVERTING
PORK INTO HAMS.

The best breed of swine is the Berk.
shire, because ITS meat is much more
lean, tender and juicy than that Of
other swine. "Well marbled" is the
technical phrase for this. Fat pork
is fit for sailing and barrel}ing for the
Northern market, but not for hams,
shoulders and bacon. An ordinary
recipe for converting pork into bacon
is to kill the hog in cold weather,
hang the carcas up over night to let
the animal heat escape from it, then
cut up and pack in pieces in a bar
rel between coarse layers Of salt; next
make brine strong enough to bear
up an egg, and pour this into tub or
barrel till all the pieces are covered.
When the meat is sufficiently satura-
ted, which will be IN a few weeks,
take out the pieces and hang them up
in smoke-house. If a gallon Of mo-
lasses, or its equivalent in sugar is
added to the brine, it gives greater
sweetness to the meat. A few spices
also add to the flavor when mixed
with the brine, such as cloves, allspl-
ces and cinnamons. If were going
to make much bacon | would, in Mr..
O'Nell's place, address my inquiries
to a noted pork-packer and bacon-cu-
rer of St. Louis or Louisville, as they
are particularly nice in this, and
every season probably there is some
little improvement made in the pro.
cess. When l visited the bacon-cu-
rers OF Cincinnati, as early as 1872,
some of the incest would not scald
the carcas to scrape off the hair, as
they said this injured the quality Of
the bacon, and rendered it less firm
and solid, but they singed it off by
burning ii with straw. Nor would
they put it into brine, but rubbed
dry salt on both sides Of the pieces,
packed them on shelves in cool
place, changing the piece every few
days and rubbing in more salt. AT
ter doing this several times for weeks,
then the piece, were cleaned and
smoked. Spices, sugar, saltpeter
etc, were added in the process. But
YOU see this would not do in Florida.
TIE climate is so warm that they, in
order to save their pork, it must be
put into a strong brine Immediately,
and if thi, were unnecessary. the
careless Southern farmers would ney-
er have the patience to 80 through
the dry sailing process, or be careful IN
doing 1t. Some Of them are SO care
less as to salt before the carcas has
cooled, and if then done, the carcas
is likely to spoil. My old friend,
DR.. N. w. Phillis, editor Of the South
ern Farmer, Memphis, Tennessee, wa
born in South Carolina, and planter
long time in Mississippi. lie kept
hogs largely, when no one scarcely
did so at the South, and made his own
bacon. -.South Jcrscyman.

Sour milk and butter milk are eX-
cellent for all kinds Of poultry, and
are greatly relished by them. Earth
en- dishes are the best vessels to feed
them in, as wooden ones soon become
sour. When thickened with shorts
bran or meal, it is very nourlshlng
diet for young fowls and is good to
make hens lay.

A correspondent Of the Western
Farmer gives as a means Of protecting
his poultry against hawks, the follow
ing: go to the tin-shop and get a
lot of tin scraps, tie them in lunches
with a stout cord, hang them on poles
30 that they will dangle in the sun
slime. Hawks cannot stand the gilt
ter of the tin and will not come near,

tin near my poultry yard this spring

hawks, with which we used to be
troubled very much" Scare,crows,
so called, are not as rule very eff
cient, however this one may be. We
have known a stuffed paddy to be
placed in gardens as we'll as in corn
fields, and they became great favor.

only build nests in the pockets or the

Washington never made speech. In
the zenith Of his fame he once attempted
it, and failed, and gave il up confused
and abashed. In framing the Constitu-
tion of the United States, the labor was
almost wholly performed in the Com
mittee of the Whole, of which George
Washington was the chairman but he
made two speeches during the convention
of very few words each. The conyen-
tion, however, acknowledged the master
spirit, and historians affirm that, had it
not been for his personal popularity, and
the thirty word. of his first speech, pro-
nouncing il the best that could be united
upon, the Constitution would have been
rejected by the people. Thomas Jefier-
son never made II speech. He couldn't
do it. Napoleon, whose executive ability
is almost without a parallel, said that
his greatest difficulty was in finding men
of deeds rather than words. When asked
how he maintained his influence over his
superiors in age and experience when
Commander. n-Chief Of an army in Italy,
he said, by reserve. The greatness of
man is not measured by the length ofhs
speeches and their number.

A correspondent writes No wonder
poets have written about this Lake Of
Lucerne; it is delight to idly over
the side of boat and watch the chang
ing lights in its lovely tinted water, and
catch the reflections Of sky and mountain
and pretty village as we float along it
is delight TO dreamly watch the NOV
ing shadows on the mountain sides, as
soft clouds drift lightly over, touching
the smiling hillsides with a pensive light
that for moment saddens them, but in
a breath is gone, and they brighten into
sudden gladness. What unexpected
turns we make, What sudden revela-
tions we havel At one moment we seem
to be hemmed in by the mountains, with
no break anywhere, and some little ham,
let not far distant seeming to mark the
end ofthe lake, and we sigh to think our
sail will be ended all the sooner; in an
other moment we have swung arounda a
promontory and a new and fairer lake
lies before us, all bathed in sunshine,
with even more glorious mountains
guarding its peaceful sleep, until it
seems a charmed spot, and one hesitates
to break the spell but steamboats, rush in
where angels fear to tread, and our little
boat pushes into our fairy lake putting and
snorting like an asthmatic alderman, and
sending dirty puffs of smoke up into the

The New York Sun, Independent Re

the Republican party in 1876:
The Republican party, as represented b,
an enormous majority In both houses Of tn,
Forty-third Congress, and illustrated in tn,
acts Of Its last session, points with pride ;,
its past record, and rejoices in the followin,
declaration Of its present principles:
|. Third term now, and Presidency for liz,
hereafter
II. Government by the bsyonet, suspen
sion Of habecs corpus at discretion, and drum
head courts martial are the true elements o
political strength.
Ill. Specie payments in 1879 without
coin.
". Civil rights mean the white man has
no rights which the black man is bound to
respect.
V. More taxes, more debt, and more eI.
penditures, the true road to permanent pres
perity.
vi. Subsidies, special tariffs, Credit Mo-
bilier, Texsn-Paci6c, back.psy grabs, rail-
road grants, and all sorts Of monopolies

A scalawag named Num- contrived to
creep into the present Congress from the
Eighth District of Tennessee, because the
opposition divided its strength between
three candidates who combined had a
majority OF nearly six thousand. lie was
buried out of sight at the election last
fall, and probably will never be heard Of
again unless he should turn up among
the antipodes.
Of course this distinguished patriot ex-
poets to be taken care Of by the paternal
Government, which provides Offices for
condemned Congressman, and levies war
taxes to pay for their support as partisan
pensioners. Maynard is TO go on mis-
sion, and why should not Mum ornament
the civil service in some other stationG
Not to be outbid bv the third-termers
who will crowd the White House lobbies
tomorrow, hat in hand, claiming recog
milton and reward, Num- has gone a
step further and nominated the President
for Dictator, or in his own words:
Allow me to say here, Mr.. Speaker, that
had rather see Grant, with the confidence
have in his ability, with the confidence
have in his integrity, and with the confidence
have in hispatriotism, i would rather see him
Military Dictator than see any man on earth
President Of the United States who would
stand silently by aud see the weak and the
helpless trodden down and oppressed with
out attempting to stop il.
Now, there is vacancy for deputy
sculion or bootblack about the White
House, here is exactly the fellow to fill
it. Amid the rush of applicants after
the adjournment, the claims of Num-
should not be forgotten.
