 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
 As one of the beautiful places included in East Rock Park bears very repulsive name, Snake Rock, is it not desirable that this name should be changed? I suggest Quinni- piac Rock as an appropriate name, from the Quinnipiae river, which flows near by; just as Mill Rock is so called from the river in it's vicinity. O.

meat is Immediately sailed and packed
down in bulk, flesh side up, on the floor
Of g platform made for tie purpose.
On packing it down each piece is so
laid that all the blood that Oozes out of
the meat will flow away from it, and
not remain in contact with the flesh
to faint it. This is one of the nice
points in our method of curing bacon,
namely, to have the animal bleed free
ly when it is killed, and not allow the
pork to stand long in the bloody water
that ALWAYS comes away from pork for
a short time after it is slaughtered.
Hence we never use the brine, but al
ways salt the meat dry, and break bulk
ard resalt again in a short time. Care
is taken to touch all the joints and
bones with plenty ~ofsalt, and to sprinkle
more salt on the thick part of the pieces
as they are packed down. We Use from

the dry salt is applied till the meat is
ready to be smoked. AT the expiration of
four to six weeks, depending on the

taken up, washed clean of the salt (but
this is often omitted), and molasses or

Both sorts OF pepper may be taken to-

pounds of sugar and four pounds of
black pepper or a peck of red in pod are
enough of these articles for a thousand

use only green hickory or oak wood, as

Curing a Cold in the Head.

The best way to treat this trouble
some complaint is to take a shot drink. "
An orang sliced and put into a large
cup with a little sugar sprinkled over it,
and boiling water poured upon it, and
then drank as hot as possible, is both
pleasant and beneficial. The feet should
be put into hot water, with or without
a little mustard. This foot bath should
be taken at the bedside; the patient
should be we'll wrapped up, and a
blanket placed across his knees should
be drawn outside the bath, so as to on
fine the steam. After keeping the feet
in the water from five to ten minutes,
the patient should lose no time in get
ging into bed, where he will probably
derive great benefit from the general
feeling of warmth, and from the flow
of perspiration which has been induced.
If possible, at this stage, the patient
should remain in bed for two
days with a fire in his room,
which should be we'll MADE up at
night, so as to keep alight till morning.
But keeping in bed will do little good if
the patient persists in holding a news
paper or book to read, for thereby he is
more dangerously exposed to the cold
than if he were up, dressed and going
about as usual. The main point is to
keep thoroughly wrapped up and con-
stantly warm. Even an uncomfortable
degree of heat may be beneficial.
A small piece of camphor chewed
and sucked is good. So is the Inhala-
ton of sulphuric acid gas. Buy two
ounces of sulphuric acid (diluie) from
a chemist, and then take out the cork
and inhale-through the nostrils only
of course-the pungent gas which is
given eff. To avoid an unpleasant ex-
coriation Of the nose and upper lip dur
ing the course of a cold in the head,
they should be often washed thorough
ly with soap and lukewarm water, and
q little vaseline should be applied.

Potato Improvement.

Director Sturtevant, in bulletin lO9
of the State Station at Geneva, reports
in detail results of an experiment which
so far as one test can prove, shows that
better potato crops may follow the use
for seed of tubers from only the more
productive hills, as possessing the most
inherent vigor:
"The smallest tubers from the most
productive hills yielded crop than
the largest tubers from the least produc-
tive hills. These tables seem to Indicate
very clearly that in order to increase a
yield of potatoes, it is only necessary in
digging to expose the hills separately,
and then go through and select seed
from those hills which show the most
abundant crop. The experiment also
seems to indicate that detioration,
whereby a good variety tends to become
less and less profitable to grow arises
from an entire lack of selection from the
point of view of the prolific plant, and
that to obviate this detioration it may
only be necessary to select yearly u
seed from the more prolific hills, in
stead of haphazard from the harvested
erop."

An yJndress suit.

A singular suit-a kind of undress
suit, as it were--has been brought
against one of the managers of q Phila-
delphia masquerade ball by a young la
dy who feels herself much aggrieved.
On account of her E,w stage Of dress in
the region of her neck and shoulders he
refused to allow her to go on the floor
with her escort, and by noise and vio-
lencc called public attention to her, and
to the alleged defects in her toilette
to wit, shat she had not enough clothes
on" He also injured her feelings and
her shoulders by thrusting her eff and
callinga policeman. Her defense is
that her dress, or lack OF it, did not
fairly come under the ban which he
placed upon it-but she rather gives
away her case by saying that it was "cut
after the style OF the court of London"
Had she also admitted that il was no
worse than the dresses at fashionable
parties in Washington this winter, her
suit-that is her suit against the mana
ger-would have been hopeless. Her
lawyer was too shrewed for that.

Budding Instinct.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
1t is curious to see how girl children
all cling to dolls. 1 was at a Christmas
tree on Wednesday evening. The
child, q girl 3 years old, had a dozen or
fifteen little presents. She had nothing
to say: she looked kind of helplessly
around as if the rapid rush of beauti-
full things dazed her. She took each
new one and grasped it closely for a
minute, but laid it aside carelessly as
the next came. About the third thing
she got, however, was a doll, a female
doll, with bright eyes, a profusion of
blonde hair, q blue silk dress and q pair
of blue stockings. That she never
released for rings, or pictures, or any
thing. And she went to bed with the
doll in ner arms. It was the only
thing, her mother said, she seemed to
remember next morning, for she came
across her in the nursery with the doll
entirely stripped of the dress, which
she had carefully put into a BASIN to be
washed, and on Christmas night she
was combing the dolls hair, explaining
that she could not put on the dress I'M
TIL it had dried. l suppose it was the
budding of that woman's instinct which
makes all women 80 much dearer to the
world than men.

How Bsyere Training Prolongs the Edfs
of the Thoroughbred.

From the Live Stock Journal
While the aptitude for living to a
great age is undoubtedly inherited, still
this tendency to long living many times
shows up in the character of a squirt,
as 4 single son or daughter from a given
pair may attain to a great age, ell other
scions from the same stock being only
moderately long livers. AS to loingevi-
ty, as we ordinarily meet with it, there
are physical signs that, fully inspect
ed and estimated at their worth, will
always be found to tally with the
results. The thoroughbred has q
firm structure throughout, clearly the
result of transmission through an
agency rendered firm Of tissue by
cccn.;HsSsss md somewhat severe Train
ing, ignoring accumulation Of fat.
The latter substance in excess. or even
approaching this, places the horse or
ethe person with this popularity as
though with Q sword suspended over
him by . very weak thread. Life is
prolonged by such repeated efforts as
give yigor, short Of sapping the vitality,
and of the agencies through which
this Is done Is curtailment Of tendency
to fatness. We have in trees corrobo-
rative evidence that firm texture leads
to long life. The hard wood trees are
considered by ~naturalists to be long
lived in proportion IS they grow thick
and stout rather than tall. Slim plants
are, ss o rule, delicate and short-lived.

TtanR tor the Farmer.

g. E. Burt, butter and cheese mer-
chant, in the New York Tribune says:
The butter business is much improved,
with good prospects of still further in
crease. Prices compare favorably with
those of previous years. Oleomarga-
rine is seldom calledfor at the houses
where il is sold. About one tubs now
sold to a dozen last Fall. Retailers are
afraid to handle it since the investiga-
tions were made which implicated some
of them.
Butter is 9 very difficult article to
keep unless a very low, uniform tenn
perature can be secured. Where but
ter is needed for long keeping, the best
way is to make in small and somewhat
oblong rolls; wrap closely in well brine
washed muslin cloths, and immerse
them in brine made from boiled water.
These should be. kept beneath the sur
faco so that the AIR will not get to,them.
A small quantity can thus be had at any
time.
Carelsssness about the feet of horses
produces chtrouble. Loose nails or
fragments Of them are left in the hoof
and work their way into the interior, and
produce Inflammation which spreads up
to the coronet or elsewhere and forms
. fstula- This is very difficult to cure
because the horses foot is encased in a
hight box from which the pus and diseas-
ed matter cannot escape. Care to pre-
vent il should be constant. The best
treatment is to open the diseased places
and syringe ont the matter daily with
warm water and a few drops of carbolic
acid, and keep a plug of tow In the open
ing TO prevent healing until this is effect
