How to Cure Hams.

There are two ways of curing bacon-by
the dry, or the picking process. The
former is the most trouble, but does away
with the necessity of barrel. This bacon
should be weighed out into lots of 100
pounds, and six pounds of salt, one ounce
of saltpetre and two quarts molasses should
be set apart as the quantity required for
curing it. If it is to be picked, after the
Ingredients are thoroughly mixed small
quantity should be sprinkled on the bottom
Of the barrel, anda layer Of meat placed upon
1t; more of the mixture should be spnnkled
N this, to be followd by another course
Of meat until the whole is firmly and snugly
backed, when well-water enough should be
put in to cover it. After remaining for six
weeks, the meat should be taken out and
smoked, and then each piece sewed up in
i muslin bag and hung up in dry place, or
if it is designed to keep the bacon for a
considerable length of time, it may be
packed in dry salt and the barrel headed up.
To cure by the dry process the meat should
be spread upon the table, and the mixture
rubbed in on the flesh side, with as much
adhering to the meat as possible, after
which it should be piled up snugly with the
flesh side up and allowed to remain in this
condition for three days, when it should
again be rubbed and piled up as before.
This process should be followed up until
the whole amount of the mixture set apart
from the curing is exhausted. After re-
manning in the pile until the salt is alb
sorbed-which may be known by the APP
pearance of the meat-it may be smoked
and treated as mentioned above. The above
recipe is intended for light bacon; heavy
bacon will require pound or more of salt
per 100 pounds of meat, and longer time
for the salt to be absorbed when cured in
the dry state.-[F. D. Curtis.

HOUSE AND FARM.
Wool Notes for Farmers.

The Amerioaa CultivatGr. in the course
of an article upon wool interests, says that
the value Of lot of wool depends largely
upon the proportion Of yearling aeeces
therein, and so proportion of the Oldest
lives should be fatted and sold each year.
The value of feaces in the same flock
varies much, even when the utmost care
and skill are dsvoted to the development
Of uniformity. In England the feeces are
sorte into those from yearlings, those
from weathers and those from ewes.
The wool that will make the greatest num-
Der Of yards to the pound, is Of the great
est market value. Firm telling cloth is
much less used now than formerly, the
most popular goods being of hard and
twisted goods. The desired curl" in the
staple is determined by che scales of serra-
ton upon the surface of the fiber, as seen
by any good microscope. The question OF
of raising sheep protitably for mutton in
terests concerns many farmers who live
near to good markets. But much depends
upon the quality of the sheep raised. The
feeling that anything is good enough for
mutton has not yet entirely disappeared.
tits not every farmer who abides by the
distinction between wool-sheep and mutt
ton sheep. The good qualities OF the
Cotswolds are undoubted; but they need
care and choice pastures. A first cross OF
the Southdowns upon common sheep suits
the market. The black face and legs Pc
ouliar to this breed render it noticeable III
market, if butchers, as they should, leave
the lower part of the legs undressed.

Beauties OF the Hep Vine.

Of the decorative possibilities of the hop
vine. The Michigan Farmer speaks thus
pleasantly: whoever has seen wild hop
vine making its way in the world to the
very tip top Of a slender sapling, running
riot over dilapidated rail fence, or hang
ing its graceful garlands of dropping, pale
green bells over the naked limbs of some
PROSTATE woodland giant, exemplifying
how nature strives cover with loneliness
the decay she herself causes, will recognize
its decorative possibilities. There are no
gay flowers, no odor save that of cleanG-
ness, to attract the senses. The eye alone
is pleased by the graceful abandon Of the
luxuriant vine, and the contrast Of light
green panicles and the deeper hue of foil
age. Once started they live on indefinitely
dying down in autumn to send up pale,
slender shoots in the spring. With all their
coquetry there is an humble about them,
as if they were conscious of the ienoble
uses to which they were born, and they
appear to best advantage over the woodshed
door, climbing against the kitchen window,
or cherishing the top of the we'll house in
a loving embrace. They give an excellent
effect, however, when planted with other
climbers, the blending Of foliage being
agreeable and the wreaths of pendant, nod
ding blossoms, yellowed with golden grains
of lupulin, not suffering in grace or beauty
by contrast with even the beautiful ELENA
it's"

sit was fortunate circumstance for some
who were employed by me at that we'll known

ROAST MEAT-"An Old Housekeeper"
writes: II would like to tell Young
Housekeeper' my way of cooking rib roast,
which is a very good piece to bake. Have
your butcher take out the ribs and roll up
the meat nicely and keep it together by ty-
ing piece eff clean cord around it; skewers
are in the way and prevent carving nicely.
Have your oven about as hot as to bake
bread, and keep the same heat until the
meat is done. A fve-pound roast requires
three quarters of an hour in the oven if you
like it quite rare. Pepper and salt your
meat and put it in the dripping pan .ithout
any water or dripping; to be perfect it
must be basted with the drip from the meat.
When done remove the meat, set the pan
on the top Of the stove, and stir in as much
-four as you need to thicken the gravy

A Much Respected Citizen and WELT to do

House was Gloomy with FOrebOdings of Death
Cured after Thirty Years Suffering.
WEST BATH, ME-, June 10, 1881.
EDITOR BOSTON JOURNAL:
You have been print 6 facts about good
thing and will cheerfully tell my story Ihave
been sufferer from kidney troubles for about
thirty years and have had frequent acute at
tacks which rendered me unfit for labor of any
kind: tried many doctors both regular and
specialists, but without any success. I also
tried all the most prominent remedies could

Last fall l was completely Frustrated, and had
excruclatlng pains, and my house was gloomy
with the f0rebodings of death. The attending
physician gave me up and was not expected
in one day and said that they had found what
might prove blessing in disguise; and on
hearing their story, what Kidney Wort had
done for others, I was induced to try it, as
last resort. 1t was done without the least par
ticle of faith, as I considered my case entirely
hopeless.
A package was procured at Farr's drug store.
and lot stepped up and the first dose helped
me considerably, so that l took new hope, and,
it seems almost a miracle to say it, six more
doses brought me to my feet and it las entire
cured me, and have had 10 trouble since that
time! To say that there was great Joy in that
household is to but partially tell the facts
Two acquaintances were suffering with
the same troubles, nearly, but not quite 80
bad as I had been. I recommended it to
them, and, seeing what it had done for me they
used 1t with the same result. All pain and
trouble was banished, three persons being
cured by that greatest Of known kidney RENE

WHO PUNCHES THE COINS?
The Amounts Realized From the BORN
Process.

The Amounts Realized From the Boring
Process.
From the New York Evening Post
A reporter asked James N. Sampson, the
veteran detective employed at the sub
treasury, to what the government detectives
attributed the sudden increase in the num-
Der OF clipped and punched coins, which
has attracted 80 much attention of late.
MIR. Sampson said that it was perfectly we'll
known that nine tenths of the punching
was done in this city by Cubans. A num-
Der OF silver coins were clamped together
in roll, and in less time than it takes to
write an account of it, hole is drilled
through the whole lot. The value of the
silver obtained by punching hole of usual
size In coin amounts to about one
twenty fifth of the value of the coin: so
that for every roll of twenty-five quarter
dollars is obtained in moment by running
drill through the roll Mr.. Sampson
says, also, that many of the purchased coin
come from Mexico and South America
where our silver coins circulate freely, and
rarely escape mutilation. Several attempts
has been made of late years to break no
the systematic punching of coins, but with
little success. Only two convictions for
the offense have been made in ten wears.
Mr.. Sampson remarked that while the bus
mess of punching and filing coins was al
most wholly in the hands of the Cubans.
the business of sweating gold coins by sha-
king them up in a buckskin bag is attribut-
ed by the detectives to the denizens of
Chatham street. By shakinga bag contain
ing 100 eagles for three hours, the result in
gold dust will be worth about $40. Mr..
Floyd, the chief clerk of the assay Office.
said that the government rules relating to
light weight gold coins were defective,
and tended to keep such coins in circu-
lation. When gold coin less than twenty
years old is abraded to more than one-half
per cent. of its value, it is stamped with an
I" at the Sub Treasury and returned to
whoever offers it, instead Of being sent to
the mint. The object is to force the hold
or to take it to the assay Office or mint to be
sold at its real value, instead Of which it
goes into circulation again. The trouble is
that congress has never made any provis-
ion for redeeming mutilated or even abrad-
ed coin. Many persons think that all the
pieces that have been worn down beyond
recognition in actual service should be re-
deemed at par. The difficulty is to tell
when q piece has been worn smooth
through use or brought to that condition
by sweating or other artificial means. Mr.,
Floyd considers that the mutilation of sill
YER coin does not need government inter-
ference because, unlike the abrasion of
gold, the mut,lation of silver coin can be
detected at once, and it rests with the pub
lie to drive such coins out of circulation,

Bacon and HOnefnIness.

From Prof. Fowler's ssBacon."
Men who despair of mankind and Of he
future are happily seldom successful n
persuading others to accept their advice or
their systems. There is healthy instinct
in man which leads him to believe that the
future will be better than the past, and that
the labors of the present generation will not
be without their effects in improving the
condition Of the next. No man was ever
inspired with this feeling more strongly
than Bacon. He stood like prophet, on
the verge of the promised land, bidding
men leave without regret the desert that
was behind them, and enter with joyful
ness and hopefulness on the rich inheri-
lance that was spread out before them.
