Our Recipe for Curing Meat.

As the season has arrived when cur
ing meat is in order, we republish, as of
old, our famous recipe for curing beef,
pork. mutton. hams, ETC., as follows:
To one gallon of water, take II pounds
of salt, pound sugar. ounce salt
peter, ounce potash. (Omit the potash
unless you can get the pure article.) 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 be put down for at least two days
after killing, during which time it
should be slightly sprinkled with
powdered saltpeter, which removes all
the surface-blood, ETC., leaving the
meat fresh and clean. Some omit boil
ing the pickle, and find it to answer
well, though the operation of boiling
purifies the pickle by throwing off the
dirt always to be found in salt and
sugar. If this recipe is strictly followed,
it will require only single trial to
prove its superiority over the common
way, or most ways, of putting down
meat, and will not soon be abandoned
for any other. The meat is unsurpassed
for sweetness, delicaey and freshness of

Weed Out the ND Fowls.

The great mass of fowls kept by
farmers are used, SO to speak, as scav-
engers; that is, they live simply by pick
ing up what would otherwise be lost
about the farm. Feeding them is rare
ly thought of, unless what is thrown
out to them from the scraps in the
kitchen in cold weather be called feed
ing. In summer it would not be wise
to feed much, if any; while in winter it
is the part of wisdom to feed, not only
a little but literally. When this is
done some discretion must be used, or
all the pains and cost of the operation
will be thrown away on 4 lot of ''dry,"
old hens that have long since laid
their last eggs, or only retain enough
TO make an apology for sitting on other
hens eggs after laying a clutch of two
or three at most. When o hen is born
into the world she holds within her body
the embryos of all the eggs she will
ever lay, no matter how long she may
live. The first twelve months after she
begins laying she will yield almost one
fourth of her full complement of eggs,
and by the end of the second year near
ly three-fourths of all she will ever
yield, while the remainder of her life
is occupied in delivering the last quar-

that the first and second years of her
busy life are the most profitable ones
to her owner. 1t is, therefore, econo-
my to weed out the old hens with Il
severe discrimination. Keep nothing
over three years old, and if the greatest
economy is practiced and the largest
profits demanded, as they should be.
then nothing over two years old will
remain on the farm. AS the fall months
merge into winter, chicken feed be-
comes more scarce. and all of it should
be reserved for the hens that do the
work. Old, superannuated cocks should
go into the pot along with the old
hens. l recommend the pot in prefer
ence to the market, as the farmer will
get more real money return in this way
than by selling old chickens ut ruinous
rates. rs the storekeeper is certain to
force him to.-RuraL NfU Yorker.

cleaned a deadly light, as Frederick,
with youthful pertinacity and abandon,
needed them not, and by continual con-

He had no more money to stake. and
foiled in their expectations, they made
threats. both loud and deep, and boldly
accused him of fraud and even theft.
At this juncture, the eye of one of his
adversaries fell upon the ring which
still adorned his hand and glittered
like talismanic guard against evil and
destruction. Its intrinsic value was
little calculated to awaken the cupidity
of any observer, but to a grasping mind
the sight of gold, however Insignificant,
is in itself temptation.

Bloody, Work Expected-TArre Made
Chicago, Jan. f3.EThere was consid-
cradle excitement at the stock yards
this morning owing to an, assault made
by union men, who being unable to Sc
cure their old places in the packing
houses, busted themselves by going
about the yards abusing the non-union
men, stoning them and striking them
with sticks as they passed in, and out
the gates. p About 400 in all were en-
gagged in these outrages, and several of
them were. arrested and marched off to
the police station at the point of a re-
yolyer, followed by a hooting crowd of
their friends: Most of the strikers,
and all the more reasonable ones, are
at their halls, but should the arrests
continue it is feared that they will join
in the trouble cand cause bloodshed.
Thepolice authorities regard the situa-
tion as critical and have transferred a
large force to the stock yards.

TERRIBLE STORM.

San Francisco, Jan. 13.-Telgraphic
communication with Portland, which
has been interrupted for week, was
restored to day. The dispatches state
that on the 9th inst. the middle of Port
land was visited by the most severe
storm known since the settlement of
the country. The direction of the wind
at the commencement of the storm was
southeast, but later it veered to the
south; but little rain accompanied the
gale though heavy cloud rolled over
head during its entire progress. The
damage to property in the city will not
fall short of seventy-five thousand dol
lars. The steeple of the First Presby-
terian church was Frustrated. Seven
small houses were blown down and
many roofs ripped off. including the
roof of the court house and portion
of Newmarket theater. Signs and
awnings were blown broadcast. The
Williamatta river is rougher than ever
known before, but little damage re-
suited to boats and shipping. While
the gale was at its height Bremen hall,
a large two-story wooden building was
Frustrated and four men caught under
the ruins. Jack O'Donnel sustained
very severe injuries, and Harry p.
Hinrich was instantly killed.
In East Portland the new Catholic
church was Frustrated and reduced to
complete wreck a number of build.
ings in the same place were blown
down or unroofed. Reports from the
interior indicate that the storm ragged
there with great violence.
1t is not possible to estimate the value
of property destroyed but it will GER
tainly be great, and the obstruction to
roads will, in many localities, for a
time stagnate business. Owing to the
fallen timber and damage to railroad
bridges trains have been delayed sew
eral days. The lines between here and
Dalles are buried under fallen timber
so deep that new lines will have to be
constructed.
At Umatilla much damage was done.
The gale attained for short time
velocity of eighty miles per hour. A
number of houses were blown down,
but so far as known there has been but
little loss of life from the storm.
Great numbers of cattle are reported
killed from falling barns and trees.
