cripple Turkey.

celebrated and popular medicines have effected a
revolution in the healing art, and proved the fall
lacy of several maxtms which have for many years
obstructed the progress of medical science, The
false supposition that Consumption is inCurable''
deferred physicians from attempting to find rene
dies for that disease, and patients afflicted with it
reconciled themselves to death without making an
effort to escape from doom which they supposed
to be unavoidable. 1t is proved, however. that
CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED, and that it HAS BEEN

them apparently desperate ones) by Schencks Pul-
monc syrup alone; and in other by the same
medicine in connection with Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both, according
to the requirements of the case.
DIR. Schenck himself who enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years, was sup
posed at time to be at the very gate of death
his physicians having pronounced his case hopeless

Effect of Diet on Liquor
Drinking.

Charlie. Napier, an English So
cntific man. has been testing the
truth Of the Liebigs theory that
liquor drinking i compatible with
animal food. but not with 4 farIna-
ceouS diet. The experiment was
tried upon twenty->eNen liquor
drinking persons. with results sub
Stimulating the I.iebig theory.
Among the more striking instances
Of reform brought about hy a
change Of diet was that Of a gen
tleman of sixty who had been ad-
dicted to Incorporate habits for
t~hirty-tiye years. his outbursts
averaging one IA week. His consti-
tuition was so shattered that he had
great difficulty IN msurlng his life.
After an attack Of dellrlum tire
mems, which nearly ended fatally.
he was persuaded to enter upon a
f~arinaceous diet. which. we are as
sured. cured him completely IN
seven months. He seems To have
been very thin at the beginning Of
the experiment, but at the close of
the period named had gained TWEEN
weight pounds, being then of
about the normal weight for a per-
son Of his height. Among the ar
ticles of food which are specified
by Napier as the pre-eminent for
antagonism to alcohol are macaroni,
haricot beans, dried peas, and len
ills, all OF which should be We'll
boiled and favored with plenty of
butter or olive oil.
The various garden vegetables
are said to be hopeful, but a diet
mainly composed Of them would
not resist the tendency to intern
perance SO e~tfectually as one of
macaronl and farlnaceous food.
From this point Of view, high
glutinous bread would be Of great
utility, but it should hot be sour,
such acidlty being calculated to
foster the habit Of alcoholic drink
ing. A like remark may be applied
to the use of salted food. If we
enquire the cause of a vegetarian's
alleged disinclination to alcoholic
liquors. we find that the carbona-
ceous starch contained IN the mac
aroni, beans, or Oleaginous aliment
appears to render unnecessary, and
therefore repulsive, carbon in an
alcoholic form.-N. y. Graphic.

Curing Bacon.

There are few families in Nir-
ginia who do not understand this
art quite well, though many fail to
get good hams. AS a general rule,
there is too much smoking. This
is nor necessary in the large meat,
as it serves to dry the meat off, and
the creosote engendered by the
smoking process is antiseptic and
preventative. The Western meat
(and the Virginia meat when
smoked too much) retain this
smoked, disagreeable taste. In
England and France smoking is not
used ut all, and this is an evidence
it is smoked too much here, or more
than necessary. The Hanover
county hams are famOusly good,
and the best of them | ever saw
were smoked only four times. An
important matter is that the AM
NAL heat should be out before salt
ing, and this may be accomplished
in the same day if the hogs are
killed by 'day-break' and the
weather is tolerably cold. In no
event permit the pork to freeze.
We have frequently seen hogs killed
very early and sailed late in the
same day /; and this is our practice,
unless the weather is warm. Many
modes have been adopted for cur
ing hams, and after repeated trials
we think there is none better than
the following: For twelve moder-
ate size hams, take twelve pounds
of salt, one pound Of saltretre, and
enough mOlasses to rub them to-
gether, producing the consistence
ard appearance Of damp brown
sugar. Rub this in well, lay the
hams separate on boards, with the
skin side down. Repeat the appli-
cation every week for four weeks.
Then hang up and smoke on damp
days with hickory chips. if pro
durable not to be smoked more
than four or five times. Towards
the last of February enclose the
hams IN canvas, painted, or what
answers as well IN our experience,
large paper bags, securing well
around the hook. This keeps out
shippers and other insects. I'm
mediately before doing this, rub
some black pepper on the meat. If
this plan is accurately followed. We
will insure tirst-rate hams.-Dr.
P0llard, on tie log.

to see it tested By some energetic
Young man who has a taste for

would enable him to test the bGsi
ness fairly. The Guinea grass IS the
most prolific grower have yer

one Of my tenants fed his mule III

condition. 1t does rot spread over
a plantation if kept from seeding,
and can be eXterminated by close
grazing. but never 5y tie pillow, for
that keeps it alive, and the oftener
it is plowed up, the better it grows
from the roots still III the ground.
Planters OF the South must, IN some
measure, follow the example of
Kentucky and make their own sup
plies Of bread, meat and working
stock. The longer this IS put off
the worse for them. If any II
embarks in that he must prepare
for it by erecting sheds to protect
his took during the Indictment
months of winter, which will prove
a great saving OF food, as more food
will be required to sustain the stock
when exposed. 1t is useless to have
fine stock unless protected, though
the same protection is not needed
here as in the North, the winters
being milder. We have the lands,
climate and raw materials for such
a business, but are not yet ripe for
such a change IN our plans, but are
waiting for something to turn up.
The country will never prosper as
it ought till such a new departure
is made, then villages, towns and
factories viii spring up all over the
country, enhancing the value Of
landed estates.
