TO CURE HAMS.

For each ham of II pounds
weight: Two pounds of common
salt 2 ounces of saltpetsr; of a
pound of bay salt ; / Of pound Of
coarse sugar. These should be re-
duced to the hnest powder. Rub
the hams well with it. 1t is best to
be done by persons of strength. 1t
is seldom properly done by weak
persons. After rubbing thoroughly
place them in deep pan aud add a
wineglass full Of good vinegar. Turn
the hams every day rubbing each
time with the brine. Three or four
days will be sufficient for this. At
ter remaining three weeks 10 the
pickle take them out, wig them
well aud put them ia bags of brown
paper. Smoke them with wood
smoke for three weeks. If there is
not sufficient brine to cover the hams
while picking add 10 water but dip
up the brine, at least every other
day {every day is better) until taken
out to be smoked. This requires
more attention and labor than the
simpler methods, bet it insurcs safe-
ty and pays better than to lot the
hams spoil

TRAINING OXEN.

this season or at all. bat soon found
them so tractable that my hopes be-
gan to be raised. Il took me just
a day to learn that il WASH. necss~
sary to strike blow or speak a
word. The farmers who go alOug
shouting at sheir oxen and goading
them waste their breath ard
strength. A dozen yoke Of oxen
could be taught to draw load a
hundred miles withou, a word or a
blow, 1t is only necessary that the
farmer should lead 30 show the d.
rection, aud the beasts, if they have
been kindly treated, and have an
affection for their master, will do the
rest. These oxen were trained by
uniform kineness. 4 series of tricks
in regular order were fixed upon,
and put them through every day. |

ia a feeble mother which can give
no sustenance,
5 If your land is poor, you must
limit the area Of cultivation to your
ability to manure--let il be ever so

by it.
8. Exert yourself to produce ma :
nure on the farm, Such manure is
the -four that makes the loaf, and
CONNER cial fertilizer is only a ieaven
TO it. Homemade manures coat some
labor but little money. whilst COM
merciaI fertilizers will bring you in

mother earth cannot entirely rely aud

ciously used, and they can be bad

farmers credit.
4. Bring TO the aid OF your mas
nure pile, green faIlow crops, aud
try to clotbe the bosom of mother
earth with the green verdu'e of
grass, from which live stock can be
fed.

fed we'll for this adds to the ma"
nure pile and their increase, and

6. Diversity crops as much as
possible, and do not rely on one sta
pie. This will make your manure
and labor pay profit in some places
when they fail in others.
T. Manure manure manure

farm to produce it. Ii will put
