Vegetables in Cellars.

An exchange says that such veg
etables as beets, turnips, cabbage
etc, should never be kept in the
house cellar, as they frequently de.
cay and cause serious illness. This
is true if they are carelessly thrown
in uncovered heaps on the cellar
bottom, but there is no necessity for
such mismanagement. A vegetable
cellar, which should always be a sep.
arate apartment from the fruit room
and from the room where cooked
food is kept. should be as neat as q
parlor, and all vegetables should not
only be stored in clean boxes or bar
rels, but they should be imbedded
in pulverized moss, which will not
only preserve their freshness, but
prevent all bad odors Clean, damp
sawdust will do in place of moss, if
the packages are not large. Potato
es do not need such packing, but
they should be placed in clean boxes,
ventilated at bottom, and we'll COW
cred from the light at the top.

TO Salt Pork.

The following method of packing
and sailing pork is given in "The !
Manual of the Hog" published by the
Georgia Board of Agriculture. The
lbottom of the box or other receptacle
| is covered with strong salt, half an
inch deep; pinch of saltpetre, ia
ken between the thumb and finger, is
| sprinkled upon the flesh side Of each
ham. the quantity to be regulated by
the size of the JOINT, aud well rubbed
in; it is then thoroughly rubbed with
salt, the flesh side covered half an
inch thick, and the joint placed skin
side down in the bottom OF the box.
The hams are thus first sailed and
packed as closely as possible. filing
vacant spaces, too small for hams,
with jowls, which should be- sailed as
the hams. All vacancies then left
should be filled with salt. After the
hams and jowls are packed, the shout
ders, well sailed in the same way,
but without saltpetre. are packed in /;
and finally the sides. The heads
should receive especial attention in
sailing, as they are usually bloody,
and take salt less readily on this &C
count, and because Of the bones in
them. They should be packed in a
vessel to themselves The bones and
ribs should be lightly sailed, also, to
themselves. The length of time the
pieces intended for smoking should
remain in salt depends upon the gen
eral temperature while packed. Ii the
weather is favorable for salt to strike,
four weeks will be sufficient; if very
cold it should remain longer. The
length of time that it remains in salt
depend, also, somewhat on the size Of
| the fi"nes large meat requiring ior g.

must be periodic, intermittent and
spasmodic. To go down stream re-
qnires no effort, but to co, auer The
current and fight It's waves RI qrires
resolution, faith, conscience. If Ne
have not all these we become tired
and weary until some approaching
danger or general excitement rouses
us to action again.
1t is pretty clear from the lessons
OF the past that those who engage 10
the manufacture or sale of intoxica>
ting drinks will be regarded by q
large portion of the community as
the destroyer of husbands, sons,
brothers, households; who for paItry
gain rob the drunkaId's children OF
their daily bread. We do not deny
but that there are honest and good
citizens engaged in this traffic, but
they should make Up their minds
not 10 feel outraged If the business
prevokes the most determined oppo.
sition. 1t cannot be otherwise and
even the traficker himself should en-.
terrain higher respect for the people
and the age whose intelligence has
discovered and exposed the immen-
sity of the evil, and who are endca-
voriDg, however unwisely or vainly
it may be, to abolish it.
On the other hand we think that
experience has shown that legislative
suppression is generally failure and
a disaster to the temperance cause.
Where such laws can be enforced
there is littio use for them. If, how
ever majority of the voters of
town or village are opposed to a Ii
cense tho vendors ought to obey the
public voice. If so many Of our.
young men bad aot been ruined by
our licensed saloons and others still
in dsncer, zee might deprscate an
o'her temperance excitement Bot
if saloon keepers Will teach such
habits to the rising generation, they
must expect, if there be any ties Of
friendship, conscience or brother
hood among the members Of the
community, efforts will be made to
restrain licenses. Though the eff rts
may be short lived il will be so often
repeated that the business will YES
come perilous and uncertain.

School Book Contracts Wanted.

The School Book Bill which en-
crossed the greater part of the time
of our Madison legislators last winter,
took an early start this winter. Its
proiessed object is to reduce the pri-
ces Of school books, but it is safe to
say that the bill, if introduced at all,
wonld cause no agitation if some par
ties were not very anxious to get the
job of printing or selling all the school
books used in the State. We believe
the Legislature, in this school book
business is meddling with matters
it has no right TO and therefore
the bill should be defeated upon a
general or constitutional principle.
Cheap books, the books of choice, can
be had in another way. This bill
proposes to supply books at less than
helf their cost heretofore on condition
that the parties supplying them shall
have the contract for FIVE years. Such
contract can be made by counties,
towns and educational Boards with
almost any publishers. We are pre-
pared to offer on behalf of one of the
most extensive school book publishing
houses in the United States, to make
such contract for Grant county, for
the town of Lancaster or with the
School Board of the village Of Lancas-
ter. If this can be done why should
the Legislature of the State make a
law compelling the people of the
whole State to use the same books for
five years. Let the school officers
OF the counties, towns and districts
make the laws for themselves in the
shape Of contracts. If any in this
county want such a contract we are
open to receive them.
