The Portland daily press., 1877-01-17

The customary advice is to thin out when the
heads are too compact and head back if too
open, and the requisite amount of labor to be
bestowed must not be amenabls to any set of
rules, but be governed altogether by the judg
ment of the operator. The best system of
pruning, however, for the apple, and pear as
well, is as follows: After first determining the
proper height for The first tier of limbs to start
out, which should be governed somewhat by
the taste of the owner II prefer three feet from
the grouDd, three equi-distant branches should
be allowed to remain and all others in the i'm
mediate vicinity cut away. These limbs, by
the way, ought to form as nearly as possible
what botaI lists term whole or verticel, that
is, arranged in a circle around the stem. Then
about eighteen inches higher up another whorl
of three limbs may be allowed to emauate, all
others meanwhile being rubbed of, and SO on,
each succeeding year, until the top is formed.
There will be no difficulty about the top being
too open, as the young shoots, If cut back, will
make it compact enough, and indeed, all very
loxuriant shoots must be headed-in somewhat
to preserve a good shape. By this system
have seen the most unruly growers brought in
to entire submission, and formed into as come
ly trees as one would wish to look upon-open
heads turned into compact tops, and yice UerSa
as we'll as spreading varieties forced into a com
pact growth of short branches.-Neaos York ITi-

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Curing Hams.

I1Hms.
A New York farmer gives the following
as his rule instead of the old way of sailing
them down:
For preserving beef my recipe is six gal
Ions of water, nine pounds of salt, three
pounds OF sugar, one gallon of molasses, three
ounces of saltpetre and one ounce of salera-
tus. mix these Ingredients aud heat to
boiling point. skimming off all the inn
purities. When cold l pour it on
the meat. l do not rate the amount of
materials according to the amount of meat,
but mix in the proportions given and use
enough of the mixture to cover the meat
wish 10 preserve. l find that this method
cures the hams and leaves them tender and
juicy. They never get hard. l leave the
hams in the pickle from four to six weeks,
according to their size. 1t takes longer to
cure large hams than it does small ones. /
always move the hams after they have been
in the pickle three days. Take them out and
pack them over. This is necessary, for when
they are closely packed together some parts
of the hams do not have chance to be pene-
trated by the pickle. l keep beef in the
same way except that would boil over the
pickle before warIn weather in the spring.
The finest hams we ever used were OF a
pig frozen with other fresh meat and so kept
till spring and then put into pickle just
long enough to ''corn through say ten or
twelve days, when it was smoked and eaten.
1t was as sweet and tender as a chicken.-

Trimming Plants while Growing.

Everyone admires beautiful form in a
plant, an evenness of growth of the various
branches to give fine balance to it. There
are some plants whose habits are naturally
straggly and uDcouth While they are growing,
little nipping back OF the leading branches
with the fingers, or with q pair of shears, will
hold them in check, while other branches will
ba encouraged to grow to the same size. We
will cite, for instance, the Lemon verbena
This seldom makes a slightly shrub when left
to itself, although it is a favorite owing to its
sweet scent and delicate green. By pruning
back the leading branches. it will soon grow
into well-rounded and closely formed shrub
II you wish it to grow tree shaped, encourage
it to grow tall by npping back the ends Of
side limbs till it has acquired the right height.
then, to prevent growing one-sided, and to
make it well formed nip back all the shoots
that are out of balance. This same system
can be applied to roses, geraniums, and, in
tact: to any plants that are desired to grow in
branches off close to the stalk, in fact, it is
better not to do So But little nipping back
of the ends of growing shoots is all that is re-
quired.
