Preserving Salt Meat.

Much of the corned beef and salt pork put
up by farmers becomes tainted or complete
ly spoiled during the summer and fall.
The injury is not caused by using too small
an amount of salt. As rule, much more salt
is employed then is necessary to preserve
the meat. Sometimes il contains impure
ties that cause the meat to contract bad
flavor. Pure salt should be employed for
preserving meat and dairy products. 1t
costs but little more than that which is i'm
pure, and il is mere satisfactory in all re-
specis. Meat packed in barrel and cover
ed with brine becomes tainted or spoiled in
consequence Of small portions Of il or some
Of the fat or blood it contains coming to the
top of the brine The air comes in contact
with it there and decomposition takes place.
substances always have an unpleasant taste
and smell. ard these in the case Of meat in
barrel, are communicated to the brine and
from thence to the meat. Meat packed in
brine should be cut in pieces with very
sharp knife. This will leave the edges
smooth. After it has been for a few days
in the brine, the latter should be poured off
and boiled The boiling will cause all the
impurities to rise 10 the surface while the
blood will be coagulaied. These substances
should then be skinned off. and when the
brine is cold il can be returned TO the barrel.
If the brine does not continue pure, the OPP
Grafton Of boiling should be repeated.
Special pains should be taken 10 keep the
meat under the brine at all times. Aper-
forated top Or false cover, o. frame work,
should rest on the meat and be weighed
down BY means Of clean stone. If these
precautions Ar emplo.ed the liability Of
spelling viii be light.

Called and sore shoulders in horses
are often caused by the name working under
the collar while pulling. This can be avoid
ed BY plaiting the name and tying it up in
sucb manner that it cannot touch the col
lar. 1t not only INJURIES the shoulder but the
name also. which is one of the beauties of
the horse.

Walking for Health.

Dressed sensibly, and after phy,ioogi-
cal plan. one my confidently expect that
walking will in time help to restore lost
health besides becoming a source Of untold
pleasure.
Miss Bertha Won Hillern, who has walked
hundreds Of miles in the hope, as she says,
of creating in other women an interest in
the habit Of walking, writes as follows, in an
article recently published in the Parenolog-
zeal Journdl;
could not reasonably expect to be be-
lieyed, should | relate the bare facts of case
after case Of painful suffering Of body and
mind that have seen literally walked away
to venture upon heroic measures with, who
have been just ready to send in hot haste
for doctor, and that not with imaginary
sufferngs, but whose flushed or pallid faces,
abnormal pulse. and other indications of
real physical disorder, proved them in need
Of physician ora cure, TO drag themselves
out Of doors when their trembling limbs
would hardly support them, and begin a
walk that threatened at any moment TO ter
inmate in seat upon the curb stone. In a
short time they would brighten little, step
with more ,igor and elasticity, and return
home after few miles with pulse even
and strong. fine, healthy color. and the
brain in state Of eager desire for work.
DO not walk rapidly at the start. Begin
slowly, and then gradually increase the
pace until it is ;ltle faster than an ordina-
~ gait. then Try to keep the same even step
and movement.

Thc linhsldence OF yellow Tercr.

Washington, ID. G., October a. -
Surgeon-Genelal Hamilton, Of the
Marine hospital service, says that
reports received ~ his office indicate
that the yellow fever has spent its
force IN this country, although Vera
Cruz. Mexico III still infected. In
structions had been forwarded to
Pensacola, Fla, directing that the
Gordon be discontinued around the
naval reservation after tomorrow, but
quarantine regulations would be en-
forced for the remainder OF this month.
In his opinion the season was now
too far advanced for the yellow scourge
to make any further rayages or head-
why, and the risks are now greatly
lessened for the Importation Of any
contagious disease.

Canine Fidelity.

A very touching illustration of the
fidelity of the dog to his master was fur
nished the other day in village upon
the banks of the Seine, not far from
Paris. Some laborers working in field
saw well-dressed man walking along
the bank, followed by black spaniel,
which was evidently delighted to have
such run. Suddenly the man disap-
peared, and when the laborers, thinking
that he had fallen into the river, came
up, the dog, which had realized the sit.
uation, was barking dolefuIly at the
point where his master had disappeared.
The body did not rise to the surface, ana
was found two days later much lower
down the stream, the dog in the mean
while having refused to leave the spot
where he had last seen his master, and
being eventually taken away by one of
the villagers, who was resolved to keep
him. His master, it may be added, had
committed suicide, for paper was
found upon him stating that he had lost
his wife three months before, and that
being weary of life without her he had
resolved to put himself out of the way.

THE DAIRl.

1.-The most hourishing branch Of
British agriculture during the last year
or two has been dairy farming. The
Mark Lane Empress says: American
competition stimulated those interested
in butter and cheese to set about i'm
proving their practice
Bitter milk is matter of frequent
occurrence every fall and winter, or soon
after the cows are off from grazing. 1t
Is caused first by bitter herbs in the hay
such as May weed, Johnswort, etc,
and also by the use of too much over
ripe food, such as straw, corn stover, or
late cut hay. 1t never occurs when cows
are fed ON good food, and are thriving,
or even holding their own, and are kept
comfortably warm.
Cows must be kept warm in winter
in order to obtain good flow Of milk.
Exposure to cold not only diminishes
the flow of milk but increases the con.
sumption of food. Exposure to cold in
yards or open barns. according to care
full experiments, requires an increase OF
one-half more food for the cows, and a
less yield of milk is obtained than with
less food IN warm stables. Even ex.
posure to cold for o short time dinin.
ishes the yield OF milk.
--Dairymen abroad have been expert
menting for the purpose of determining
which yield OF milk, the morning or
evenings mess, is the richer of the two.
The decision was in favor OF the even
lng's mess being the richer for both but
Ter and cheese making qualities. The
milk OF cows fed grouna-feed in winter
was richer than that produced by the
same cows from grass in summer. This
IS not a'matter OF very great moment to
the dairyman. though he should keep
posted on all these little points.
The quality of milk may be rendered
unwholesome by abuse of the COW. A
case of this kind was reported several
months ago as occurring in Albany, N.
Y, where nervous COW was MIXED by
a passionate man who whipped and
otherwise ill-treated her. The milk was
given TO child that had been healthy,
but who, after using the milk, became
i'll, and suffered from intestinal irrita-
ton, followed by a fever which seriously
affected the brain and nervous system.
This illness was traced directly to the
milk of the il-treated cow.
during the win ter months Elgin
creamery butter always commands the
highest price in New York, and the
reason is plain enough. The dairy farm
ers in this section are liberal feeders, and
knowing the value of good, rich, whole
some feed. do not stint their cows. These
farmers who think they can let their
COWS stand about straw stack, or in
the stable with nothing but nay and
fodder, and expect the same yield that
they get from grass in summer, have
much to learn in the way of feeding.
Ground corn and oats, corn meal, bran,
oil meal, hay and corn fodder. all COM
bined make good feed, but either al
will not do. Feed judiciously and OBJ
tain good returns in the milk pail; iced
sparingly, and get no returns and have
the stock come out poor in the spring
