How to Cure Hams,

New Hampshire Farmer.
The process of sugar-curing hams is
as follows: The hams are trimmed and
rubbed with salt and left to drain on a
bench for a day and a night. They are
then wiped dry and packed in a clean
barrel, and each one is rubbed with salt
as it is put down. They are packed as
closely as possible. A pickle is made
as follows: For each hundred pounds
Of meat. sever pounds of salt, two and
one-half pounds Of brown sugar, and
two ounces of saltpeter are dissolved
in hot water, and the liquid is boiled
for a short time, being skinned if nee
essary. 1t is then cooled, and when
cold is strained into the barrel
through a doubled cloth on to the
meat. The meat should be kept three
inches under the pickle. 1t is best to
head up the barrel and pour the pickle
through a hole in tin lead, ana then
cork it tight. Otherwise a loose head
should be put on the meat and weighted
down, and a cover put on the top of the
barrel. After two months the hams
may be taken out, well wiped and
rubbed with ground black pepper and
then smoked. A very heat and conven-
lent way to flavor meat with smoke is
to smoke the barrel and hen pack the
meat in it in such pickle as You choose.
This much trouble and the meat
is as good for home use but it lacks the
color which takes III market. Make q
fire on the ground and pile on some
meadow hay or straw and turn the bar
rel over the fire which it will smother
and the smoke will be dense and pene-
trating. Repeat this three times a day
for a few days and wipe out the barrel
with q cloth and 1T is ready for use.

Much Made Out of Nothing by Frugal
Housewives.

HOUSEWIVES.
From the New York Mail and Express.
Some women have o faculty Of max
ing something out of nothing, at least
it so appeared to a reporter for the
Mail and Express. He was coming
down town from Harlem on the eleva-
ted railroad. Directly in front of him
sat two young ladies inspecting a square
Of what is known in feminine parlanca
as "crazy patchpork."
II feel awfully hurt" said the owner
of the delicate specimen of handiwork.
II spent two weeks on this square, and
when l gave it to Mrs. last night to
help along with her quilt she told me
the quilt had been finished for several
days. / think it's too mean for any
thing. Two weeks time Just wasted"
"How SO? returned the other. "You
can make it into a beautiful little hand
bag. Seven inches square! Just the
right size. Hung from your waist by
a broad satin ribbon it will be real stun
ming. You can cord it around the edge
and put a pocket on the inside for your
handkerchief"
$50 I can! Seeing you are so handy
at using up odds and ends, tell me what
can l do with these two yards of stiff
turkey-red cotton I had these left over
from my curtain borders"
IF I wereyouI would make two pan
els of it TO hang up in the dining-room
against that dark Eastlake paper. Make
them half a yard wide and a yard and a
quarter long. Put a curtain stick in the
bottom hem. The contrast will be stri-
king. A cluster of daisies or grasses
embroidered on them in wool will look
lovely. 1t won't take you long. for the
work is not fine, and yoncan get a bunch
OF daisies for a model very cheap just
now. But what are you going to do
with this?" and she pulled a piece of
pretty blue sateen sprinkled with pink
moss buds, about halfa yard long, from
the bundle.
"That is a piece Of my new dress. I
am going to give it to our washerwoman's
little girl for a dolls dress"
"Nonsense!" You can make q most
comfortable little foot-rest out of that.
Take a small soap or starch box, pad it
nicely and tLen cover it with this,
lacking it down with silver headed
tacks. Footstools look awfully pretty
in q bedroom, and besides they are SO
comfortable" Il
How nice? I am real glad you told
me. lguess 1 will eep my scraps after
this. l usually throw them away"
lyon don't mean to say you haven't a
catch-allg Make one, then, by all
means. You can make it out of stuff
goods or you can cochet one. 1t should
be about twenty inches long, and close
at the top and bottom, with a draw
string. You will soon find some good
use for your odds and ends then. As
for me, | never throw away a thing"
NO" thought the reporter, as he left
the cal, mot even an opportunity to
teach your friends economy and useful
ness"

The New England consumption of
Chicago dressed beef has risen regular
ly and very steadily from 4,740 tons in
1873, to LOG, 8O4 tons in 1883, while
the consumption Of Western beef re-
ceived on the hoof has fallen from 81
OF tons to 10000, and the former
kind last year amounted to 70 per
cent. of the whole.
Mr.. F. L. Wright says, in the Fruit
Recorder, that he obtained, last Spring,
200 plants of the Atlantic Strawberry,
and that of hundreds of different kinds,
no other ever did better. The berries
were the size of those of Charles Down
ing, very late and of exquisite flavor.
Edward E. Hale remarks, in The
Critic and Good Literature, that virtue
is one Of the things that is caught by
contagion. Is this not equally true of
good farming? And will not the boys
and girls learn to love the farm sooner
and surer by such contagion than in any
other way.
Paris statistics of 1881 mention 8, 800
horses and 400 mules consumed as food
in that city, and The Hygienic Gazette
speaks of the meat as "a valuable
resource" Science has demonstrated
the excellent quality of the flesh, the
animal being essentially ~herbivorous
and nonoxious element elaborated in its
economy; while its organic resistance is
such that Of 5000 cut up q well-known

The Governor General of Canada,
Marquis Of Landsdowne, towns" 81, 554

who travelled over tho estates, declares
that the p%easantry are worse fed, clad

sideration and regarded in practice as
having fewer human rights than the
negroes of the most penurious slave
holders of our South before the war.
A recent traveller across the con-
tinent describes Nevada as Everywhere
nothingness mingled with a little scrag-
gy sage and lots of alkali," excepting
the oasis known as Humboldt Station,
where a spring coaxed from the noun
tain has started a little grass, a bit OF
garden and q few trees. 1t was here
that the polite proprietor of the hotel
remarked to Ben Wade: "You see what
irrigation can do. All Nevada needs
is water and good society" "Humph, 7"
replied the bluff Senator, chats all the
lower region lacks"
In the finest quality of butter the salt
is so evenly diffused that, as appears I'M
der the microscope, every grain is sur
rounded by a film Of clear and trans
parent brine. This shows the necessity
of avoiding the overworking of butter
before the salt is added. In the first
working every praticle OF milk ought to
be got rid of, but enough clear water
should be left to dissolve every grain OF
J salt in twelve hours before the next
working. If this is attained there is lit.
tie danger of streakiness in the butter,
but to get the best results the salt
should be very finely ground.

of course, the children had fair warn

Gum is bad enough, but the artistic

therefore a cud of gum holds over
