ENGLISH STYLE FOR CURING Bacon
An Englishman with a back-load of
bacon in the English style begged lift
toward the city the other day. He told
me how he cured it by dry rubbing,
with one pound of puIverized saltpetre
TO every three hundred pounds of pork.
First the saltpetre was rubbed hard into
the skin side of the pork and then into
the flesh. Then fine English salt was
rubbed in every day or two Tor three or
four weeks, turning and rubbing the
pieces with whatever salt and saltpetre
liquid drained OF. After that the bacon
was cured ready to hang up in an airy
room for use.

The SECRET OF KEEPING FRUIT FRESH
The exclusion of the air is an i'm
pOrtant desideratum in prolonging the
sound condition of apples and pears. 1t
is known that the apples least liable TO
shriyel or decay contain an unusual
amount of gum on the cuticle, closing
all its pores. This gummy matter also
performs similar function on the
leaves of many plants and prevents
their shriveling in the hot biistering
rays of the summer sun, by preventing
the evaporation of the diffused water.
A coating of any substance that will ex-
clude the air will have the effect of pre-
serving apples and pears in a sound
condition for prOtracted period.

SMUT IN CoRN.-Smut consists of a
fungus, vegetable growth which starts
from seed called spores. This seed is
very small, so small as. in the case of
common puff balls, TO float in the air
like smoke. What is the cause is not
known. a preventive may be to steep
the seed in a solution of blue-stone lsul
phate of copper, as wheat is stepped TO
prevent the same thing. Farmers are
frequently troubled with their wheat
moulding after it has been put in the
bins. If your wheat Is damp and liable

the granaiies, and after leaving in one
day, take them out, and If they appear
damp, put in others that are not mOists
and at the end of two or three days the
wheat will be perfectly dry and rattle
like shot when handled.

Dame TrOt'S Cdldmity.-Such a tidy
body as this little Dame Trot! She
must sweep and dust and wash and
scour from morning until night, or else
be rocking her baby to sleep. or be do
ing variety of other things that are
housewifely and useful.
With Biddy's big kitchen-apron tied
on behind for a long dress, she flies IL
bout, chattering like a wren, until one
is tired out with thinking how tired
she must be.
But her very industry and neatness
brought her into grievous trouble once.
Her mammals toilet-stand was already
in very good order; but as mamma was
tired, and was trying TO get wink of a
nap, Dame Trot thought she would set
it TO rights over again, but would be as
still as a mouse about il, so that no one
need be disturbed.
So she set to work; and, as cleaning
was nothing if she could not slop and
splash in the water, she soon had a
sponge well wet, and began sopping
over the marble, standing on tip-tOe to
do it,.
Then, of course, the bottle must be
washed. But they w-re heavy for her
little hands, ard the first one she pick
ed up slipped suddenly through her wet
fingers, and fell with a crash TO the
floor.
If the breaking of the glass had not
startled mamma, the dreadful strang-
ling and choking and sneezing and
screaming that followed, certainly
would have done il, for it was the am
momia-bottle that had fallen, aud Dame
Trot had got the sharp effect full into
her poor little face. It hurt her cruel
ly, and her eyes streamed with tears,
and she thought herself burned, for it
stung like fire. Mamma took her to
the open window, baIhed her face, and
did all she could To relieve her.
And was Dame TrOt scOlded Oh, no,
for she had meant to be very neat and
quiet, and it was only an accident, and
not naughty trick at all. But mamma
had to caution her 10 try TO wait until
she got to be u little larger, before she
attempted 10 do any more cleaning.

YOUTHS COLUMN.

Il German Mouse.-SOme wise people
say that there is no such thing as a
singing mouse; but listeni you and
are wise too, and after you have heard
my story, you can form your own opin-
ion.
was in Germany when l saw and
heard my mouse.
L lived in a queer, tall, fashioned
house of brick and stone; the rooms
were high, the windows deep and wide.
Sitting on one of the broad window
seats late one night, watching the few
passers-by in the moonlit street below,
l was suddenly aroused by the sound
of the watchman's voice, calling the
hour, twelve O'Clock.
Rising, l was about to turn back into
the room, when all at once 1 heard the
most delicate note, soft aud clear like a
far away flute! listened.
What could it be?
Ii was not like birds cry; and more
over, there were no birds about, for it
was midwinter.
Still, 1 said to myself, what else
could it be?
Some pet bird, perhaps, escaped from
might be on the sill outside the other
window. Crossing the room, 10! the
mystery was solved.
On the sill inside, there he sat, the wee
singer, as much at home as | was-a
little, bright eyed, glossy, grey mouse.
Noiselessly / seated myself near him,
and listened to the strange music; for l
confess that had then never heard of a
singing mouse, and did not more than
half believe that the sound proceeded
from him.
AS IF guessing my thought, and deter
mined TO convince me that in musical
Germany even beasts can sing, away he
scampered from the window, ran across
the room and up the cushioned side of
my sofa.
Perching himself on one of the arms,
his eyes twinkled with a knowing look,
as much as to say, "NOw doubt, if you
dare" and then he lifted up his voice
and sang.
| have read that their song is much
like canary bird, but this did not bear
the slightest resemblance to the singing
of any bird; it was much softer and
lower, and had strange, far-away
sound, as said before, more like a flute
softly breathed upon than anything else
| can think of.
There were no sharp, shrill notes, nor
WAS there any approach to the clear
whistle OF many of our birds; and in
stead of the long sustained thrill Of the
canary, there was only gentle
"tremulo."
Very likely, however, mice differ as
much as people do in their manner of
singing; and my mouse sang according
TO the German "method" | suppose.
The entertainment lasted for about
half an hour, and then before | could
reward him with a crumb of cake, he
shot away as fast as only mouse can
run, and vanished through little hole
in the floor. Now remember, children,
that this is true story and that some
mice do sing

He had been lunching around town

''No, sir! Ii you were I'd deny ii 7"
"But | honestly believe we used to

"We never played together-never |!

"Won't you say to the Judge that

''No, sir! The country hay stacks
are honey combed with tramps' nests
now. If he lets you go, and you go
round town telling folks that you even

APPLES FOR HoGS.-There is perhaps
no fruit grown that is more nutritious
and healthful for hogs than the apple.
The pulp of the apple contains large
amount of saccharine matter-one of
the fat-prOducing elements-while at
the same time the acids of the fruit de-
stroy and aid in expelling intestinal
parasites and worms that infest the in
testines OF the young growing hogs,
especially at this season of the yesr. 1t

AGRICULTURE.

PROTECTION OF PLANTS FROM Cold
A very slight covering will exclude
much cold. At first il seems almost
impossible that thin mat or any such
fiimsy substance would prevent tender
plants from attaining the temperature
of the atmosphere by which il is gener-
ally supposed they are injured. But
when il is considered that bodies on the
surface of the earth become, during a
still and serene night, colder than the
atmosphere, by radiating their heat to
the heavens, a good reason will be OBJ
served for the practice. The covering
has most effect when placed little dis
tance above the plants 10 be sheltered.
A very considerable difference in tenn
perature was always observed on still
and serene nights, between bodies shell
tered from the sky by substances touch
ing them and similar bodies sheltered
by a substance little above them. An
eXperimenter recently found on one
night that the warmth of grass, shell
tered by a cambric handkerchief raised
a few inches in the airs was three de-
grees greater than that of similar
handkerchief actually in contact with
il. On another night, the differences
between the temperature of two por-
tions of grass, shielded in the same
manner as the two above mentioned,
from the influence of the sky, was four
degrees. Experience has no doubt
taught intelligent and Observant gar
deners the advantage of defending tender
vegetables and plants from the cold of
clear, calm nights, by means of light
protective substances, but il may not
have occurred TO all that the advantage
Is largely increased by some contriv-
ance for elevating the mats or protec-
ton at slight di -tance from the plants.
OATS FoR CoLTS.-Some oats must be
fed TO colts TO produce good horses; this
is more particularly necessary in
early life, while the constitution is be-
Ing formed-for considerable time
before weaving especially at that period
and 10 the end of the year. Beginning
with a handful when the colt is a week
or two old, 1t will certainly pay 10
gradually increase the amount TO four
or five quarts by the end of the year.
After that, if the pastures and hay are
first quality, oats are not of the same
importance, but should not be withheld
entirely. The amount that can be pro-
fitably given the second and third years
depends on the conditions already men,
toned. Peas and good pes-vine hay
answer the same purpose in forming
healthy bones, muscles, and nerves in
growing colts. calves, and lambs that
is secured by feeding oats. Clover
abounds in albuminoids and bone ma
terial. Hence hay made nominaliy of
red top, timothy, blue grass, and Or
chard grass is improved by mixture of
clover. All kinds of stock are benefited
by having a variety of food daily. Ii is
an old maxim. "a change of pasture
makes fat calves"

CATARRH IN SHREP.-Sheep run at the
nose sometimes because of cold, but
often it is chronic catarrh, and is not
easily cured. If they are made to in
hale the steam from hot vinegar or a
decOction of hops they will throw out Il
great deal of mucus which will be
loosened by inhalation. The steam may
be made by dropping live coal into a
vessel containing the liquid, or by in
serting hot iron. After the mucus
has been discharged, smear the nOstrils
with pine tar. Scotch snuff, dropped
in the nOstrils, will cause the sheep to
throw out the mucus, but this remedy
is not so effective as steaming. A
hood may be put on the head of the
sheep TO prevent the steam from eScap-
ing, and the head of the animal must be
held directly over the vessel. Sheep
affected with catarrh should not be eX-
posed TO cold storms or cold winds, as
either will increase the malady,
