1ere is no difficultysin keeping sausage

there is no dificultysin keeping sausage
perfectly fresh almost any length OF
time. Some persons partially cook meat
before packing, but this is not necessary.
Fresh meat may be kept nicely in the
same way, being first seasoned with salt
and pepper; or, one pound salt, one'ha|f
pint sage, and three and one-half ounces
pepper, scattered over forty pounds of
meat before grinding. For five pounds
of meat take five tablespoons sage, four
of salt, and two of pepper.
How TO CUT UP PORK Split through
the spine, cut of each half of head be.
hind the ear, remove the pieces in front
of the shoulder for sausage. Take out
leaf, which lies around the kidneys, for
lard cut out the lean meat, ribs, etc.
then the ham and shoulder, and remove
the loose pieces directly in from OF the
ham for lard. Cut off a narrow strip 0:
the belly for sausage, and cut up the
remainder, which is clesr pork, into five
or six strips of about equal width, for
sailing down. Smoke the jowl with
hams, and use the upper part of the
head for boiling, baking, or head cheese.
Scorch the feet over the fire until the
hoofs remove easily, scrape clean, place
in hot water few minutes, wash and
scrape thoroughly, and they are ready
for cooking. All the flabby pieces should
be tried up for lard. Remove all fat
from intestines, saving that which does
not easily come off the larger intestines
for soap grease. The liver, heart,
sweet breads and kidneys are all used
for boiling or frying, and the smaller
intestines are sometimes used for sausage
cases.
NEW WAY TO SMOKE HAMS. --Smeke
the barrel, in which the hams are to be
picked, by inverting it over kettle
containing a slow fire of hard wood for
eight days excepting water on the head to
prevent shrinking); in this barrel pack
the hams, and pour over them, after it
has cooled brine made in the proper
tiop of four gallons water, eight pounds
salt, five pints molasses, and four ounces
saltpeter, boiled and skinned in the
usual manner. They will be cured in
eight or nine days, and they may be kept
in the pickle for year without damage
To Corn BAREBACK the meat in
barrel with sprinkling of salt between |
layers; let it lie three or four days, then
turn in the pickle, made as follows: For
one hundred pounds meat, take nine
pounds salt, six gallons water, one quart
molasses drown sugar may be substi-
tuted), and one-iourth pound saltpetre
boil together, skim, and turn on either
bot or cold. In packing beef, lay that
which is intended tor dried meat on top
Of barrel, let it remain ten or twelve
days, take out, string, and hang to dry,
near the kitchen fire, placing the pieces
80 that they will not overlap each other.
Some prefer to smoke dried meat.

The mothers position ia very re-
sponsib'e one. George Herbert says:
"One good mother is worth hundred
schoolmasters" What time has she to
devote to the shams of life when its re-
alities are 30 momentous I? Most of the
great and good men in every age have
attributed their success in life to the
teachings and influences of a good
mother. Let no mother covet tor her
children wealth and position when she
an give them an Inheritance from the
treasures OF her mind. A successful
life in the eyes of the world is that OF
| the man who makes the most money
but our Father in Heaven seeth not as
man seeth. A successful life in His
sight is life full of good works-a life
that has been spent in laying up treas
ures in that better land, where "moth
and rust rever corrupt, and where
thieves do not break through and steal"
The men and women, in ;ater life, who
hold in their hearts the sweet memories
OF a faithful mother, have an inheritance
rich indeed-an inheritance which will
enrich generation unto generation of
children yet unborn. Whittier has
beautifully described the life of the
devoted mother in these words:
70 The blessings of her quiet life
Fell on us like the dew.
And good thoughts where her footsteps pressed,
Like fairy blossoms grew.

Ploushing I'm Crops as Manure,

A large number Of farmers are unable
to understand how it is possible to bet
ter the condition of lands by ploughing
in clover. rye, buckwheat. etc., in green
condition. The difficulty is in compre-
hending methods by which crops that
are supposed to draw the,r sustenance
rom the soil in which they grow can
return anything more to the soil than
they took away in their growth. This
point is cleared up when it il known all
plants draw nourishment from the atmos-
phere as well as from the soil, and this is
enc source of gain. While the leaves are
accommodating stores of fertility from the
air, the roots are busy searching for it in
The soil, and thus the two distinct parts
OF plants work together. It is probable
that crops absorb, in some way, nitrogen
from the atmosphere; at least, it has never
been SATISFACTORILY proved that they do
not, and hence from that source one of
the most valuable of the various formsot
plant food may be derived. 1t this point
5s in doubt, it is certain that the leaves
gather from the atmosphere the elements
o organic matter, and organize them SO
as to form the great body of the plant; and
when we turn under the clover it leaves
it's organic matter in the soil, and this is,
in an in portant sense, manure.
But the excellent effects of blowing
under clover or other green crops are not
due alone to elements of fertility oh.
tained from air. The great, deep-pene-
trating roots 60 to a point lower than
most of the cereals, and hence they
draw supplies of mineral food from
sources inaccessible to other valuable
plants; and further, it is to be observed
taat these roots of coarse texture disin-
tegrate and loosen the soil, so that air ia
let in, and in some sense the work of the
plow is performed by them. When
these roots decay, they form consider
able portion OF organic or vegetable
matter, which, combined with the min
eral, gives good compost for butter
plants to thrive in.
From these brief considerations it
will readily be seen how it is possible to
manure land By blowing in green crops;
aud we will here remark that it is q
lrsctice not often enough followed by
our husbandmen The clover is perhaps
he best of all the plants for green ma.
nuring, and it is easily and cheaply
raised. A thin dressing of superphos
phate (home made) will almost always
give heavy crop of red clover on
common land, and this crop, turned
under when at it's maturity and allowed
to decay, brings it into good filth, and
certainly affords to the farmer a wide
margin for profit in successive crops.

FARM AND HOME.
Will q Village Cow Pay?

"Will it pay to keep cow in village
or city ?" asks reader of the American
Agriculturist, q professional man, living
in village. He has stable, can get
pssturage during six summer months at
373 cents week a boy will drive the
cow to and from the pasture, and milk
her night and morning, and milk her in
winter for oDe.sixth of her milk. Hay
costs Sc ton, bran II cents per pound.
I can buy milk at 4 cents per quart, or
sell any surplus to neighbors at the sane
price" A fair COW ought to average 10
quarts day, 270 days in the year, or
2,7O0 quarts. Dsducting one sixth, FOR
say 500 quarts for the boy, leaves 1900
quarts, at 4 cents, equal to $88. Six
months pasturage, $40; about three tons
ofhay, $36; 1000 pounds of bran, or six
pounds day for six months, $13. Total
cost, $5S. Profit, $50. The value of the
cali, and especially of the manure, ehould
be worth much more than the risk and
any depreciation in value. At these
figures of cost, the cow would pay so
profit, reckoning the milk at only cents
per quart. The best profit would come
thus: Buy in spring fresh mich COW,
q fair mixer of common breed, keep her
from breeding; milk her six 10 eight
month";, Or until she ceases to give seven
quarts or more day. then dry her
quickly, feeding few bushels of corn
meal until she gets in good condition for
beef, and sell her to the butcher. Farrow
COWS thus treated take on flesh very
rapidly, and make very good beef, if only
six to eight years old. They will sell for
nearly as much for beef as they cost in
the spring, and the winters keep and
loss of three months time are saved.
We much prefer farrow cows milk, es-
pecially for younger children. A fresh,
good mich cow bought in autumn, will
yield fairly during winter, and though
'arrow, will keep up milk on summer
pasture, and can be beeted in autumn,
or when she fails in profitable milk.how.
We should keep our own farrow cow
even if compelled to reside in the city,
hire stable and feed hay, meal and
bran through the year. American
Agriculturist.

mineral wax in southern Utah and Ari-

about fifty miles northwest of Los An-

Ziefriskisite or the Romanian mineral
wax. It differs from .parafine by being
insoluble in ether anu in other respects.
It is o anew.white resinous substance,
softer and lighter than chalk, and burns
with great brilliancy till consumed, leav'

What the South Needs.

Congressman Horn, Of Michigan,
made speech the other day in which
lie told the southern statesmen more
truth in five minutes than many speak
ers would in that many hours. Here
is a sample paragraph" An initiation
of the currency will not save the South.
What you really need is to go to work.
You should have more schools, more
enterprise and thrift, and less reckless
hess of life, less hatred of what you
call ca"pe,- 5agg ers-damned Yankees!
Your business enterprise. should be
conducted more than piety and less
with pistols. What Mississippi needs
to-day is more corn and cotton and less
cuSsedness, more mills, more manli-
ness, less murders, less moon-shlners-
What would improve South Carolina
is more hams and fewer Hamburgs.
She should raise horses and hogs more
and hell less.

The old Senator Nokes Ra8liag
Display Of Oratory-ForciJte Com
Pa9is0n.
During the debate in the senate on
the bill prohibiting military interfer-
ence at the polls, Senator Chandler
spoke. He said:
History is repeating itself to-day.
There is proverbal saying that Bour-
bons never learn anything and never
forget anything. The proverb is very
applicable to the Bourbons in this
country. In 1857, he said, the Bour-
bons had control of this government.
You had a majority in the Supreme
Court, and the whole of this govern
ment was under your control. You
brought up the repeal of the Missouri
compromise and forced your northern
men then. as you are doing now, to
vote for that repeal ana you did it By
the same means. Then, sir, you crowd
ed your men till YOU crowded them off
the bridge. In 1857, when [ took
my seat in this body with JEFF Davis
laughter there were here forty-four
Democrats, twenty Republicans and
two Independents OF those Demo
Gratis. twenty-eight were from southern
states, sixteen from northern Estates,
and the two Independents, then as
now the Independents in this body,
upon every question connected with
slavery voted with the south. You
IN caucus then decided that Steven A.
Douglas, because he asserted that he
did not care whether slavery was voted
up or down, should be degraded from
the craftsmanship on territories, aud
there were but three northern men out
OF sixteen who dared to resist the eau
Gus dictation, and you did degrade him
and put him off that committee Then
you crowded your men off the bridge,
and they sank to man in the waters
OF obllvaticn to rise no more for ever.
Sir, Of the sixteen members, not a
solitary man from the north ever came
up to the surface of the waters of OBJ
livation. You crowded them off the
bridge. You compelled them to vote
for measures which the north could
and would not submit to. Sir, you
are doing the self-same thing to-day,
we have in this body forty-ore Demo
Gratis, thirty Republicans and one In
dependent. To day, as . years ago,
on all questions connected with state
rights. the Independent party as a unit
votes with the Democratic party. To
day you have, as [ said, forty-two
members in this body, forty-one leav-
ing out the Independent party. You
have twelve members from the north,
and they are arrayed thus: From
California one, from Indiana now as
then two, from New Jersey, now as
then. From Ohio you have two; you
had but one then. From Oregon you
have two now and you had two then.
From Pennsylvania you have one now:
you had one then. From Rhode Island
you have none now, but you have one
from Connecticut and one from New
York As l said, history is to-day re-
peating itself, and you are to-day re-
peating what you did in 1857. You
are crowding your men off the bridge,
and the men of to-day, as the men of
1857, will sink into the waters Of OBJ
livion to rise no more forever.
Look at the change that has taken
place since that time Sir. the peoele
are more thoroughly aroused to-day
against this doctrine, this heresy of
state rights. than they were from
1857 to 1867. You proposed to pen
