To CURE BACoS.-Cut up the pork
the day alter il is killed. Use Liver
pool salt, and rub every piece well on
the skin. To each joint of meat tale a
dessertspoonful of saltpetre and rub il
on the flesh; then rub all over again
with salt, and pack away in hOgsheads,
with the skin downward. Let il remain
five or six weeks, according to the tenn
perature of the weather for, If freezing
cold, the salt will not strike SO well as
under other conditions. Rub in also a
little black pepper, pounded and mixed
with sugar. Have ready dry ashes from
hickory wood, take the pork out OF the
tubs or boxes in which it has lain for
salting, scrape of the salt and rub the
ashes on. Hang it up, and make good
smoke every morning, taking care
never TO let the meat get heated. Smoke
for some weeks. In March wrap each
ham in a newspaper, and then put II
into bag to hang up for good; this
ipsures safety from shippers.

CONCERNING HAIR CUTTING.-She Is
a mother, but she does not know how
to cut the chlldren's hair. This is a
pity, because 1t is expensive to send to
the barber, and Papa neglects the job.
Besides, the children do not like their
hair haggled, and it is not nice to look
at, either. The trouble often is, the
scissors are dull; now, this should not
be. A woman ought, above all things
earthly, to have sharp scissors, especial
ly where a whole family is to sew for.
Next in Importance to having plenty oi
dry kindling wood and lively yeast, is
having sharp scissors. GIVEN sharp
scissors, she cannot then cut the chill
dren's hair. She makes their heads
catsteppy; for the life of her, she can't
help it. The trouble is she does not
manipulate the comb properly. Let
her push this instrument through the
hair in direction opposite TO which II
lies on the head, and clip off the ends
of those hairs that project through the
comb. Do this, little by little, taking
hold of fresh hair with the cemt con-
tinually, and soon the job is completed
as beautifully as though the barber had
done it. Don't cut the child's ears.

JAPANESE SQUAsH.-A new squash
has recently been introduced into this
country from Japan. 1t is very dis
Iinct variety in every particular, and
has thus far proved most valuable
acquisition To our list. 1t is OF the tur-
ban class, and grows 10 a moderate,
uniform size; stem very long and thin,
woody and angular, set in rather a
deep circular depression; surface deep
ly ribbed; skin Warted in Its early
stages; color dull orange green; dark
when fully ripe. The flesh IS OF the
deepest orange hue, and flavor most
exquisite, dry, sweet, fine grained ,and
has positively no fiore, quality not
found in any other variety. Another
popularity of this valuable variety is
It's thick, solid flesh, leaving very little
room for pulp, and having very few
seeds, which are small and not so white
and plump as those of the Hubbard. 1t
is also late keeper, though perhaps
not so late as the latter, Lot having
such a hard and shell-like skin. For
pies it can not be surpassed,

WHITE CHEEsE.-CoEsidera more
white cheese is being made in New
York state this year, than ever before,
for the reason that it has usually been
IN good demand and brought slightly
better price than cOlOred. But the
fact is that while cheese must be very
perfect in order to fetch the best price.
If it is at all faulty 1T will not be worth
as much by one to two cents per pound
as colored cheese of the same grade.
The market to which white cheese goes
is very critical one, and the slightest
imperfections are noticed, and have a
serious bearing upon price. London
and Manchester are the two principal
markets for the sale OF white cheese,
and shippers say that there is a surplus
this year which can not be used in
those cities. This makes them more
critical than ever, and places the max
ers of white stock at greet disadva H.
tage unless their cheese is of the very
choicest quality.
DISEASE IN SwINE.-Hogs are seldom
diseased when they are allowed TO

Intelligent farmer IN England, seeing
one OF his hogs lying sick in the pen,
laid spadetuI of earth near its nose.
The hog got up and began to eat it
greedily. a spadeful OF cinders was
then introduced. This was eaten gree
dily, which caused the animal to vomit
copIously AMI in few hours it was
quite well.

few are mentioned below: One pound
of tobacco and six ounces of borax

soft soap enough is added to make a

his teeth get caught in the tail and he
is unable to escape. Then another

down No 2, and is caught, and this
sort of thing continues until twenty or
thirty whales are fastened together in
tow, ami sailors suppose them to be one
enormous serpent. Persons who sup
posed the length of the sea serpent de-
pended upon the number of drinks of
whisky previously taken by the man
who saw it, didn't look at the matter
