This is the season OF the wear for salt
ing meat. and as the profit of many a
farmer and the comfort OF many fami-
ly depend upon ito being done proper
ly, some suggestions may be timely.
We will premise by SAYING that the
prejudice against salt meat has little
foundation in fact. Scurvy among
sailors is attributed to il. but this di.-
fresh vegetables than of fresh meat. 1t
seldom. if ever, occurs, among farmers,
even though thew NAV be confined 10
diet Of potluck six days out of seven
every week. We cannot commend
such diet. but with suitable mix
ture OF potatoes, cabbage. onions, and
other vegetables. we should have no
fear Of scurvy, certainly If the potluck
dinner was washed down with pure
water, and accompanied with absudant
exercise in the open air. Salt pork
wss never intended as q steady diet for
sedentary persons. but il one is work
ing In the open air. he can eat pork
with impunity; and If he is constantly
out in the cold, ii is just the food he
needs TO keep up animal heat. If
well cured, there are few dishes more
relishsb]e and more easily digested than
corned beef, snd 10 healthy stomschs
few are more acceptable than delicate
slices OF smoked ham. From beef Tor
ham that is sailed till all the natural
iuices are absorbed and the lean mea,
is tough and indigestible as leather, we
beg 10 be delivered.
SAILING FORK.
The sailing of clean, side pork i. A
very simple process. and he must be a
simpleton who makes q mistake in this
business. There is no danger of sailing
it too much, as it will only absorb
certain amount. The only danger in
curing clear pork is in packing it before
the animallheat is all gone. More pork
is lost from this cause than from all
others combined. No definite rule can
be laid down as TO the time required
for pork becoming thoroughly cool.
This will depend somewh hat on the
thickness of the pork. but more on the
state of the weather. The outside Of
ten feels cool when the inside NAV be
wsrm. In ordinary November wealth
er ahog should be allowed 10 hang
thirty-six hours before it is packed. and
if on cuuing ii up. the thermome-
ter applied to the fresh cut surface in
dicates a rise OF temperature, packing
should be deferred still longer. The
pork should be cut in strips about
four inches wide, aud packed with the
skin next 10 the sides OF the barrel, a
layer of best rock salt being first placed
on THE bottom. and so alternating with
layers Of salt and pork till the barrel is
full, care being taken TO pack each lay
err Of pork so compactly that it will not
rise. Some make brine and add it TO
the pork after il has lain in the salt for
two or three days. but pure water i.
just as good if sufficient salt has been
used in the packing. If brine is used
ii must be thoroughly cold before it is
applied. A little saltpetre bali pound
to barrel, will give the pork a slight
rosy tinge much admired by many
while others prefer the pure while
which salt alone gives.

CURING BEEF

Beef is best cured much in the same
way as recommended for bacon. only
we should always put in q quarter Of
pound of saltpetre along with the six
pounds Of salt and the pound OF sugar.
A reddish blue in beef is desired BY
every one and the saltpetre also has
antisepuc effect. With large pieces
of beef the rubbing must be repeated
except when it is designed for driving
when one rubbing 10 sufficient. O. the
drying forms tight covering which
keeps out the air and prevents the pu-
trefAction tendency. In some warm and
dry climates all the curing which beef
requires is hanging in the sun on some
branch Of tree, where the air circu.
lates on sll sides of it and soon forms
membrsnous-like covering. Our cli-
mate is too moist for this, and besides,
most persons like taste of salt in their
cured meat. The common practice Of

The latest advices show that the assets
of Archbishop Purcell will not pay over
five cents on the dollar-if that-and that
unless the Church membership in this
country and Europe CONES to his rescue
his depositors will suffer tho stupendous
loss Of at least four millions ofdollars. We
notice that the papers are changing the
tone OF their comments somewhat. Some
Ofthem do not hesitate 10 characterize
such recklessness as has come 10 light in
the management OF trust funds as little else
than criminal. How could the Archbishop,
they say, shut his eyes to the fact that he
had received hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars on deposition interest, too-and
which were liable to be called for in large
amounts ut any time, and yet in spite Of
this knowledge go on putting millions into
not only non,intcrest paying but positive
ly dead Investments, such us churches,
schools, &c.
Then, too, it seems that like Jay Cooke
Go, he took fresh deposits wherewith
to pay the interest on old ones, and meet
other current obligations. How could he
shut his eyes to the mess into which he
had got and was getting his affairs by such
management? Ifhe had been d secular

is they call it, in spirit Of charity, incom.

One effect likely to grow out Of such q
mammoth ecclesiastical failure will be the

who had an idea that such great dignita-

somehow invested with species OF inial.
hbility in temporal as well as spiritual al
fairs and that their money never could be
lost in his hands. Men and women who
have lost their little all, after life time Of
deprivation, will not be slow to associate a
great deal Of fallibiIity with the office Of an
Archbishop, and in things spiritual as well
as temporal they will be much less inclined
to assume that he is anything more after
all than n wcak mortal like themselves,
Asan eye opener in this respect, there has

lie Church in this country to compare with
