Little Book Gazette: OK = We
are not only glad of this action on ac-
count of its great prospective benefits
to the city and people of Memphis, but
on account of ourselves and thousands
in other sections who are indirectly con-
cerned in the future immunity of that
city from the scourge of yellow-fever.
Indeed, the whole country is interested
in this matter, for it is one of national
concern, so much so, indeed, that we do
not think congress would exceed its au-
thOrity in granting such aid toward the
suppression and prevention of that
plague as might he beyond the resour-
ccs and possibilities Of those directly
concerned. At all events, We hope the
people of Memphis and state of Tonnes
see, without regard to outside help, will
put forth their greatest efforts, and ex-
pend their utmost energies and means
to rescue their fairest and greatest city
from the ruin that another epidemic
would bring upon it. They are now on
the right track, and we bid them God
speed in their heroic efforts, and hope
that out of the nettle danger they will
pluck the flower of safety, and that the
accumulating blessings of renewed
period of unparalleled prosperity will
reward their labOrs and sacrifices"

they have no voice in making the laws

Old Plan For CuriOg::Meat.

As the season has arrived when cur
ing meat is in order, we rcpublish, as of
old, our famous recipe for curing beef,
pork, mutton, hams, &c, as follows
To one gallon of water take one and one
half pound of sugar, One-half-Ounce of
saltpcter and one-half ounce of potash.
In this ratio the pickle can be increased
to any quantity desired. Let these be
boiled together until all the dirt from
the sugar rises to the top and is skinned
Off Then throw it into a tub to cool,
and when cold pour it over your beef or
pork. The meat must be well covered
with pickle, and should not Ike put down
for at least two days after the killing,
during which time it should he slightly
sprinkled with powdered saltpeter, which
removes all the surface blood, &c, leav-
ing the meat fresh and clean. Some
omit boiling the pickle, and find it to
answer well, though the operation of
boiling purifics the pickle by throwing of
the dirt always to be found in salt and
sugar. If this recipe is strictly followed,
il will require only a single trial to prove
It's superiority over the common way or
most ways of putting down meat, and
will not soon I've abandoned for any other.
The meat is unsurpassed for sweetness,
dclicacy and freshness of cOlOr.-Ger-

4 Hot Water River.

The proprietor of the Sutro Tunnel l.
Of the opinion that the hot water which
Is ~ troublesome in the Comstock mines
comes from depth of ten or fifteen
thousand feet, where the rocks are ut a
high temperature; also that there must
he some connection between the water OF
the Comstock lode and that Of the boil
ing springs at Steamboat, six or seven
miles distant.
One of the great advantages of the
tunnel is the means it affords for drain
ing the mines The tunnel discharges
about $1,000 tons of water every "A
hours. To lift this water to the surface
would cost not less than $4,000 a day.
Some of the water has temperature of
1862 where all the water mingles; four
miles from the mouth of the tunnel the
temperature ranges from 1902 to 1852.
If left to flow through the open tunnel
this water would so fill the air with
steam as to make the tunnel impossible.
In flowing four four miles through Il
tight iiumc made of 3-inch yellow pine,
the water losses but - of heat. At the
mouth of the tunnel the eris conducted
90 feet down shaft to water wheel in
the machine shop, whence it is carried of
by tunnel /, 100 feet in length, which
serves as tail race. From this tunnel
the water flows Il mile and half to the
Carson River.
This large flow of warm water is now
used for many purposes, the first to util-
ize it having been boys who made small
ponds to swim in-pioneers, itmay he, in
establishing a system of warm baths,
which may ultimately become gre:N
sanitary resort. The water can also be
turned to account in heating hot houses
and for irrigation. The tunnel company
have farm of over 1000 acres which,
when properly watered, is very fertile.
In course of time there will probably be
many acres of fruit and vegetables under
glass at this point, all warmed and wa
tered by the tunnel water.-Scientifi(

IIOrNe Notes.

All horses must not be fed in the same
proportion, without regard To their ages,
their constitutions or their work, for it
is the basis of disease.
Never use bad hay, because there is no
proper nourishment in it.
Damaged corn is injurious, because it
brings on inflammation of the bowels
and skin diseases.
Chafi is better for very old horses than
hay, because they can chew and digest it
better
Hay or grass alone will not support a
horse under hard work, because there is
not sufficient nutritivc body in either.
Oats do best for horse doing hard
work. There is more nOurishmcnt and
discriminating material i'm oats than hay.
Rack feeding is wastcful. Chopped
food in a manager is better, because the
food is not there thrown about, and i.
more easily chewcd and digcsted.
A tablespoonful of salt in 4 bucket OF
water sprnklcd over hay will bc relishe,
