Sausages,

Collect your meat, containing about One-fourth
fat as taken from the hog that it is free from
bone, snew, gristle, &c, wash in tepid water
bnt do not soak it; then to every 20 pounds OF
chopped meat, add four ounces of sage 10 ounces
of salt II ounces black pepper, heaping table
spoonful of red pepper, and one ordinary table
spoonful of satpeter. As there is no standard of
taste, some may think the seasoning too high,
aud Others the ingredients too few. Every one,
therefore, should, to secure bis own TASTE try il
before using the receipt upon too large a scale.
This sausage is improved by age; put in castings
and smoke moderately. Those desiring more ia
yor of sage and less of pepper, can take to every
~ pounds of meat, 10 ounces of sage and ta-
blespoonful of black pepper. Stir well with the
hand, and pack in tin-pans; when full dip a cloth
the size of the top of the pan in melted lard and
spread over the pans; then turn them together
and remove to a cool place. 1t is a common way
among housekeepers to "cut and try that is,
add little more salt and little more pepper
and sage, tasting apd retasting, and calling in
the aid of the paates of Others till the thing has
too much pepper and salt, and is probably spoil
ed. The above proportions are simple, easy and
good. But, should yOu desire to change to suit
ones taste, be cautious in using the seasoning
as it is easy to add, but impossible to take out
again; and remember, sausages become more
salty as they dry.-GermdntOW Telegraph.

THICK SOwING.-John Harrison writes to the
Ohio Farmer Il had a field of wheat the half of
which was drilled in, one bushel per acre, and
the balance one bushel and a peek. The part
sowed thin was much better, having at least two
bushels per acre more than the thick sowing
This year drilled thirty-twO bushels of oats on
twenty-four acres, and threshed one thousand
and seVenty-ive bushels. On two acres of one
held, drilled at the rate of bushel per acre,
and could not see but that they were as good as
the others. One of my neighbOrs sowed (broad-
cast twenty-eight bushels on twelve acres.
They were very thick and short, and there is no
clover or timothy on the field, while have the
best set have had for many wears There is
certainly great amount of seed thrown away
by thick sowing. And not only this, but many
crops are injured-if not nearly ruined-.by nut
ting on too much seed"
