Receipt For Curing Meat.

AS the season has arrived wher
curing meat is in order, we repub
| lish as of old, our famous receipt
| for curing beef, pork, mutton, ETC..
as follows: To one gallon of water
take one and half lbs. of salt, half
pound sugar, half ounce salpetre,
and q half ounce potash. In this
ratio the pickle can be increased to
to any quantity. desired. Let these
be boiled together until all the dirt
from the sugar rises to the top and
is skinned of. Then throw it
into tub TO cool, and when cold
pour it over your beef or pork.
The meat must he well covered with
pickle, and should not be put down
for at least two days after killing,
during which time it should be
slightly sprinkled with powdered
saltpetre, which removes all the sur
face blood, sc, leaving the meat
fresh and clean. Some omit boil
ing the pickle, and find it to answer
as well, though the operation of
boiling purities the pickle by throw
ing off the dirt always to be found
in salt and sugar. If this receipt Il
strictly followed, it will require
only a single trial to prove its su
perioriLy over the common way, or
most ways of putting down meat,
and will not soon be abandoned for
any other. The meat is unsurpass,

AND USEFUL IMPORTATION.
Fast Trctters.

We clip from the Milwaukee Eve
ming Wisconsin a letter of Mr.. Ed
ward H. Brodhead to that paper, a:
70 how young trOtters in Kentucky
are bred and handled.
At Lexington, KY, a three year
old trotted mile In 2:263, 1921
and 2:254. Maud 5. at four years
old, trotted mile in 2:174 IN 1878
This year, Trinket, at for years old
trots mile in d race in 2 198, and
Il five year old, Santa Claus. in Cal
iturnia, trOts a mile in 2:1S. So
that al former performances are
thrown in the shade. Now the ques-
ton will naturally arises as to how
this won 1erful development is pro-
duced. This l will undertake to
described as l learned it from the
principal breeders in Kentucky,
where most of the young trotting
wonders first make their appear
ance.
In the first place they secure the
services of the best-bred trottin o
stations in the country. They then
select the best bred mares, and in
this respect Kentucky has the adj
vantage over most States for the
reason that their mares are SO
largely supplied with the thorough
bred blood. The offspring of the
two they commence training in a
small way while the colt follows the
&c Al
colt trots by her side, ard is so
urged forward. The operation is
not performed so as to fatigue the
colt, but tor short times and only
occasionally. After the colts are
weaned they are mostly kept sepa
rate in the pasture so they shall
have no inducement to run and play
as they would have if there were
large numbers Of them together. 1t
is estimated that about tWentY-fiv
per cent. of the colts raised are
permanently injured in their play;
besides they sc9uire the running
gait and develop the running mus
cles rather than those that fit them
for trOtting. At one year old the
colts are broken and moderately
worked, and as they advance in
age the work is increased; thus, by
keeping them all the time trotting,
the colt acquires the trotting gait,
and so the trOtting muscles are de-
velopeC. The rule of the breeders
Is to never forget in the working of
the colt his age, and if this rule is
adhered to, no injury can
result to the colt on account of
WORKING him too vOunO

Firm Butter.

An English author recommends
the following as practiced there
during hot weather for rendering
butter firm and solid during the
process of churning: To the cream
that is expected to make twenty
pounds of butter, add one teaspoon
:ul of carbonate of soda and tea
spoonful of powdered alum mixed
together. This of couse does not
enter into the butter-if it did it
would be narmless-but passes
away with the buttermilk. 1t is
worth trying by those who have not
perfect conveniences for making
butter. If used, the Ingredients
should not be mixed until the time
of putting into che cream, but
should be kept in separate tightly
corked bottles.

SERPENT OF THE STILL

They tell me-of the Egyptian asp,
The bite of whicll-is death;
The victim, yielding with gasp,
His hot and hurried breath.
Tbs Egyptian queen, says history,
The reptile vile applied,
And in the arms of agony
Victoriously died.
They tell me, that in Italy,
There is reptile dread,
The sting If which-is agony,
And doOms the victim dead.
But it is said that music's sound,
Mag soothe the poisoned part,
Yes, heal the CALLING, CHASTITY wound
And save the sinking heart.
They tell me, too, of serPents vast,
That crawl on Afric's shore,
And swallow men-historians past
Tell us of one of yore-
But there Is yet one of kind,
More fatal-than the whole,
That stings the body and the mind,
Yea, it devours the soul.
IT'S found almost ger all the earth,
Save Turkeys wide domains;
And there, if ever it had birth,
IT'S kept in memory chains.
IT'S found in our own gardens gay,
In our own fleweTy fields;
DovouTing every passing day
Its thousands-at its meals.
The poisonous venom withers youth,
Blasts character and heath;
All sink before it-hope and truth,
And comfort. Joy and wealth.
1t is the author, too, of shame;
And never fails 20 kill.

Ups and Downs in Life.

We have IN our mind, says an ex

young lawyer who started in life
with twenty thousand dollars and a
refined, beautiful and accomplished
wife. He is now a sort OF factotum
In carpet mandatory, running
hither and thither at the beck and
call of those whom he secretly des-
pises, doing heavy tasks far beyond
his strength, yet eager and anxious
to please, lest the slender support
which he derives from his mental
work be cut of. We know a gen
tleman who was a bank president
ten years ago and owned his car
riage, who now does copying IN an
insurance Office at thirty-fve dollars
a month, supporting-God knows
hOw-a wife and five children on it.
We know of a gentleman who once
held a high office in Western state
who solicited work at cleaning out
offices and building fires. Nor
have the changed times less bitterly
affected women. Jennie Collins of
boston, famed Tor her employment
bureau and workingInen's home,
says in her last report: MANY kind

Truth will never die; the stars

glory, but truth will be ever young.
Integrity, uprightness, honesty,
goodness-these are all imperisha-
BILE. No grave can ever entomb

No sea can drown, no storm can

An Infallible Remedy.

If there is one thing more thar
another that annoys a good wife
who is nervously sensitive to al
that is gross and ill-timed, it is the
habit some husbands have of using
| profane language in their homes
In many cases this is mere thought
lessness on the part of the good
! man, who never gives a thought tt
/ the better-half; even should SHE
mildly demonstrate, he pays no at
ltention to the rebuke.
/ A lady whose husband was ad
dicted to the bad practice we have
alluded 10, came 20 her family ply
Isician, laid her grievances before
him and said:
Now, DR.. N won't you re
| monstrate With HIM, and try &c
break HIM of his habit? 1 know he
will listen to you"
"Why, madam" said the doctor,
''He would pay no attention to any
thing l could say to him, but as
you have come to me, although
somewhat out of my line, l will re
commend a prescription, to be adj
minisiered by you that will certain
~ cure him. 1t is an infallible
remedy"
"Oh, what is it. doctorY'
well, when John comes home
again and swears, do you swear
back at him. OF course, l don't
want you to take the name of the

And she did.
The next day John came in and
inquired whether dinner was ready
and was told it was not.
"Well, why in the devil isn't it?"
said he.
Because" she replied, "the wood
was so ID wet the fire wouldn't

"Wny, Mary, what is the matter
with you' Are YOU crazy or have
you been GrinkingY
Neither, she said, and quietly
proceeded to put on the dinner.
The beef didn't melt like butter

all efforts at mastication, like so
much indIa-ru bier, and finally
John bIurted out:

Mary looked up archly AID re-
piled:
well, John. suppose you went
down to the butchers, and, without
knowing the difference, picked out

John jumped up, looked at his
vile in dismay, and wanted 10

are the head of the family. and just
as long as you think it manly to |

vent it."
