mix the salt and ashes thoroughly !;
rub the meat we'll with the mixture,
usings hogs ear as glove to save
the hand in rubbing; then pack the
meat with as much salt and ashes
on each piece as will lie on it when
lifted into the packing box, fill up
all interstices with the salt and
ashes, so as to completely envelop
each layer of meat in the mixture;
then add another layer, and so on,
putting hams first, then the shout
ders, and topping off with the sides,
from which all the ribs should be
taken. The packing box should
be so opened at the bottom as to
let all the bloody brine pass of.
After the meat has taken sufficient
salt, which will be in four or six
weeks, according to the size Of the
hogs, and counting out any weather
cold enough to freeze the meat in
the meat house, take it up, knock
the salt off. and string each piece
ready for hanging; then wash clean
in tepid water, and while wet, roll
in hickory ashes before hanging.
Smoke it well with billets of green
hickory, and about the frst of
March put the joints in cotton
bags, tie them closely, and hang up
in the house again. say use hick-
DRY wood for all this. because it is a
sweet wood. Our Kentucky sugar
tree is nearly as good; but never
use pine, oak or walnut, Or any
strong-scented or sour wood, unless
you wish to spoil your bacon.
A smoke-hous ought to be as
perfectly dark as is possible, and
the smoke so applied as not to heat
the meat.
Now, just try this plan; and when
you cook ham, boil it until thor
oughly done; then put it in an even
and bake it slowly uatil brown; put
it away until the next day, and it
will be all you wish, and you will
never again be induced TO use sugar
or saltpetre, or any composition for
brine curing nor for curing dry.
Your bacon will be as red as if you
used saltpetre, as firm as it is posi-
bic to desire, and more delightfully."-
favored than you have ever had by
any other process. The fat, when
the meat is well cooked, will be as
red and semi transparent, and with
out any OF that talloEy condition
so commonly met with.
If my directions are complied
with strictly, there will be no need
for lifting the meat nor for resalt
ing, nor fear about the influence of
mild weather. In forty five years 1
have never lost piece of meat in
the packing box, and never lifted
or resulted piece. Some persons
recommend painting meat, when it
is hung up, with molasses and black
pepper, as a safeguard against the
skipper fly, and l have reason to
believe it answers well, but have
never resorted to it, because 1 put

A Model Missouri Farm.

Rural World: While there ar
many fine farms In Missouri, tn
number is not large when there ha
been great expense in putting VI
buildings, improvements, etc
Probably as much expense ha
been incurred IN improvements OF
the farm of L. d NJ. Lakeland nea
Mexico, Mo-, as almost any in til,
State. They are the sons of r. j
Lakeland, o: ST. Louis, one of tn,
wealthiest and most respectable cit
liens of this city. Capt. VIM Cur.
RE, near Mexico, No.. has also (,
very fine farm with fine building;
as well as fine improvements. Mr.
Jas. Lupe OF ST. Louis, has lately
purchased fine farm near. Mexico
and will add fine improvements to
1t. He has lately purchased flock
of fifty pure Cotswold sheep from
G. Z. Leonard, which he has put
upon it. Mr.. Lupe is one of our
most enterprising citizens and if he
removes to Mexico as he thinks
soon of doing, he will not only
have a model farm, but the best
breeds of all kinds of stock. But
we set out more particularly TO
copy from the Mexico Intelligen
Ger the description of the farm OF
l.. IL NJ Lakeland. 1t is rolling
prairie, interspersed with pretty
groves of oak, is admirably fenced
with red cedar posts and pine
plank, has 600 acres of timothy
meadow, 200 acres. of blue grass
and 40 acres of orchard, the bal
lance being devoted to corn grow
ing. 1t is devoted to stock graz
ing and feeding, the usual stock
consisting of about 800 sheep, $50
hogs, 800 steers, and from 80 to so
mules and horses. The yearly feed
for the market is about 800 steers,
400 to 500 hogs and two car loads
of mules, the market value OF the
whole ranging from $4,000 to $2S,
600. The more noteworthy feature
Of this farm is the great stock barn,
q splendid structure l50xl60 feet
upon the ground, covered by per-
feet roofing of cement, and most
perfectly constructed in every part.
1t has two broad central drives or
wagon ways, crossing. each other at
right angles in the centre, dividing
the ground plan into four grand d.
subdivided into depart
nents with stalls, yards and feed
ng places for about 400 head of
stock of all classes, The harness
and tool rooms, grain rooms and |
immense cisters are of fine mechan
SIN; the immense loft gives stor
lge tor nearly 1000 tons of hay,
md the entire structure, for size,
strength. design, finish and practi-
al adoption, excels anything of
he kind in the country, Upwards
# 100000 feet of pine lumber were
lsed in its construction. The
'rothers Lakeland are not here to

How She Kept an Expense Account

my dear fellow" said Lavender
ats all very nice to talk about
econOmizing and keeping a rigid
account OF expenses and all that
sort of thing, but I've tried it. Two
weeks ago 1 stopped on my way
home Saturday night and bought
just the gayest little Russian leath-
er cream laid paper account book
you ever saw and silver pencil to
match it," | said to my wife after
supper, "My dear, it seems to me
that it costs US lot of money to
keep house." AK.
She sighed and said: 81 know it
does, Leavvy, but I'm sure l cant
help 1t. Pm just as economical as
l can be. 1 don't spend half as
much money for candy as you do
for cigars"
l never take any notice of person
alities, so sailed right ahead. Il
believe, my dear, that if we were to
keep a strict account of every thing
we spent, we could tell just where
TO cut down. I've bought YOU a
little account book, and every Mon
day morning I'll give you some
money, and you can set it down ON
one side, and then during the week
YOU can set down ON the other side
everything you spend, and theE on
Saturday night we can go over it
and see just where the money goes
and how We can boil things down a
little"
Wei, sir. she was just delighted
it was a first-rate plan,
and the pocket account book was
iovely-regular David Copperfield
and Dora business. Well, sir, the
very next Saturday night we got
through supper and she brought out
the account book as proud as pos
sible, and handed it over for inspec-
ton. On one side was Received
from Lavvy $50" That's all right!
Then l looked on the other page,
and what do you think was there?
Spent it alp" Then / laughed,
and, of course, we gave the book
racket on the spot by mutual con-
sent. Yes. sir, I've been there, and
know what domestic economy
means, 1 tell you. Let's have
