How 10 Breserve Hams.

After the hams are thoroughly cooled
through, pack them closely in sweet barrel
For four hams take two painfuls of water, a
peck of good rock salt, quart of molasses, six
ounces of saltpetre and a tablespoonful of sale
ratus, or soda boil and skim as long as the
scum rises, (be careful to put in the soda while
the water is cold). When the brine is cold,
pour it over the hams, and let them remain sew
eral weeks; ours are usually in the brine
from the 10th of December till the LIST of April.
Then for want of better convenience, we take
an old hogshead without any head, set it out in
the dooryard, lay stick across the top, and
hang two hams at time upon it, and cover up
with an old blanket, fill an old milk-pan half
full of cobs, put coal IN the middle, cover it
with another pan and set it on the ground un-
der.the hams, do this twice day for three or
four days; those who have better conveniences
OF course can use them. The hams are then
rolled up in paper and put into bags made of
cotton cloth, and whitewashed upon the out
side, the bag enough larger to allow layer of
nice, sweet hay to be packed in all around the
ham. Tie up tight, to keep out the flies and
hang them up in cool, dry place. The bag
will last, without whitewashing again, three
years. When yourlham is wanted cut it in
slices and soak few hours Gf possible. over
night in cold water, and you will find it as
good as new. After the ham is cut keep in a
clean cotton bag awap from the flies.-MTror.

POETRY.
For the Press
Spring.

From sunlit wastes of tropic seas,
With misty sails which catch the breeze
In sheeny splendor, comes the Spring,
Rapt in prophetic dreams
Of coming marves, whose foregleams
Invade her magic ring.
Through natures hidden sorrow breaks
An inspiration, which awakes
The broods of joy, that all the day
Trill of theIbliss to be,
While Winters mystery silently
Trails its white robes away.
Then, through the fringes of the rain,
Sum smitten into life again,
Loom the lost hills, and all the streams
With gossip trimming DER,
Arouse the drowsy woods once more
From their enchanted dreams.
And ever drift the clouds from view,
And gather skies deeper blue,
And, breathing still of fairer days,
The breezes softly blow,
Setting the torching buds aglow
Along the leafy ways.
All, happy days, wherein all things
The tree which buds and rill which sings
Are voiced with prophesies so sweet,
That thought is fain to run
Beyond the bounds Of sense and sun,
The coming bliss to meet.

it acts as if by magic, especially upon the

all the grains and clover. We have always
had good results from its application to corn,
