Farming as a Pursuit.

1t is so ordered that man must labor
for his support, and he has various pur-
suits offered him for this purpose. They
grow out of his necessities, and are fitted
to them, atfording field of activity for
every one disposed to exert himself, -
Happy he who selects congenial pur-
suit, for a love of ones calling is half the
battle gained. Itnot only concentrates
thought and action, and leads to material
prosperity, but it gratiies the inclination
and what is the basis of all enjoyments,
it brings contentment. We should work
then not to live merely or accumulate
wealth, but to enjoy life as well, making
the result Of our labor contribute to our
happiness, the doing and the result
harmonizing and combining to bring this
about, so That man gets paid not only
for doing his work but IN doing it. If in
love with it, the farmer has superior
advantagessin his vocation. He lives
under the direct influence of nature,
surrounded by all her attractions, which
are engaging and healthy. He has
health, enjoyment and material success.
What more can he desire If more is
wanted, it may be obtained after a
competency is secured, and home. if
he feels disposed to travel, will always
await him, such as he can hardly find
equaled elsewhere. with its associations
and endearments formed from his growth
up.
KEEPING APPLEs.-It is worth while
to try experiments now III keeping
apples, as they are easily performed,
and the results may prove valuable.
We have found by long repeated ex-
pertinent, that apples stored in an out
house opening north till nearly the first
Of December, will keep several weeks,
and sometimes even months: longer
than if taken at once to the cellar as
soon as picked from the trees. They
are kept cool through the last halfo
autumn. Much may be gained as vel
as learned, by keeping one or more
thermometers il the fruit room, ane
: swinging the windows open wide
enough to bring the temperature nearl.
down to freezing at all times. At tho
same time, the exclusion Of air-current'
is an important assistance. One hun
dred apples, wrapped merely in tissue
. paper, kept longer for this reason thar
hundred exposed. Hence, also, thu
) great advantage of packing in dr.,
, sawdust or in pulverized plaster. The
temperature is thus kept more uniform
and the fruit may be placed in colde
, room without danger Of freezing
Wrapping each specimen in thin pape
| first would be useful. Where dry saw
| dust is easily obtained, it is well wort
: trying, either in open barrels or boxes
1t is the exclusion Of air that keep

PICKLING PoRK.-In the last num-
Der of the year 1870, is the formula for
the Hampshire (England) method of
sweet picking pork, which gave then
from written memoranda brought here
by myself. 1t is really the only way
to so cure pork as to be pleasant food
for many, who cannot eat pork as
ordinary cured without much unpleas-
ant after-feeiing. In the manner re
ferred to, the greasy. nauseating quality
is overcome. and either the dried bacon
or in the picked form is palatablc and
wholesome. Formula: To every lbs.
of the best salt, add l pit. Of brown
sugar or molasses, and or. Of salts
Pennells(a refund saltpetre). Make a
pickle strong enough to buoyantly sup
port an egg. Five weeks will be the
length of time required to fully pickle
the meat. 1t can be left in the pickle
and taken out when wante5, or taken
out and carefully dried. prefer using
from the pickle; the meat is better
favored and richer. This is from
memory, but as it is also from knowledge
obtained when living among the ''Hamp-
shire hog" 1.-THE nickname of the peo-
ple), it may be relied on as correct.
