: Curing Meat.

Cut the pork to suit the demands of the
market in which it is to he sold, or the
various uses for which it is intended, but
remember always to have it in such form
that it will pack snugly. Above all, take
care that is cold through and through, be-
fore packing it down.
Sailing with and without brine are both
popular methods, and it makes little
difference which is practced providing
proper care is observed. When brine is
used, allow salt at the rate of pounds to
each 100 pounds of pork. If it is desired
to make brine in which sugar, saltpctre,
ETC., are added, the following is a good re-
cipe: For 100 pounds of pork take a
ounces Of saltpetre, pints of molasses or
2 pounds of brown sugar and 7pounds Of
salt. Dissolve all in water and pour over
the meat. None of the meat at any time
ought to be allowed to remain above the
brine,
For curing hams and shoulders without
brine, favorite recipe is 10 pounds fine
salt, 2quarts molasses, 1-2 pound powdered
saltpetre, well mixed. This mixture is
to be rubbed in thoroughly and the hams
and shoulders laid singly in cool, dry
place. At the end of the first and of the
second week, rub them again as at first,
then expose to continuous smoke for ten
days. The above formula is sufficient for
100 pounds Of meat.

The Honey Zee Interests.

Numbered with interesting reports re-
ceiyed and read at the meeting of the
American BeCkeepers' association in
Chicago were 4s ones on the honey crop.
Florida reported ~ light crop and little
honey on hand; Iowa, very poor crop;
Pennsylvania. exceedingly light yield;
Georgia, below average but sufficient to
carry the bees through winter; Indiana,
bees did well for themselves throughout
the season, but the honey crop was light;
Vermont apiarians lost heavily in swarms
last winter, and there wis scarcity
of early honey, probable yield of the sea-
son one-third of an average crop; Quebec,
fair for honey gathering, especially in
the autumn; Ontario, bees wintered well,
but many spring losses; average yield
about twenty-five pounds per colony.
A diversity Of opinion prevailed among
the apiarians in session as to the best
packages for shipping honey. Finally
vote was taken, with the results as fol-
lows: Thirteen beekeepers in favor of tin
packages, four gave preference to wood
packages, while forty members use both
wood and tin, as occasion suggests. There
was a general announcement Of the cheap
"lead tin" packages. Oak barrels were
approved Of by several for shipping large
quantities of honey. While the cost of
production varies largely, it was estimated
that a general average was about ten
cents per pound.

DriesbaCh. the Lion Tanner.

Circus goers of twenty-five years ago will
remember Herr Driesbach, the celebrated
lion tanner, but probably have never in their
minds connected him with romance; and
yet he not only had veritable romance in
his life, but one that blossomed out of dish
of onions; and it was through the medium of
that most plebeian vegetables that he won
his lovely wife. Persons who knew Mrs.
Driesbach before her marriage recall her as
the belle of Wooster, O., of which place her
father was a wealthy resident. Accom-
plished as she was, beautiful, witty, and full
of pranks, to meet her was never to forget
her. Happening to be placed with a party
of young people at hotel table where Dries
bach was sitting, some one dared her to pass
him dish Of onions Immediately seizing
the dish, she not only passed it, but inquired
il he would have an onion He said he
would, and took one, and from SO small be-
ginning sprang an acquaintance that in three
months ended in marriage. 1t was singu-
lar match, and people long wondered whether
the dauntless lion tanner would have equal
success in tanning his wife. -Exchange

A Gypsy's Sad Life and Death.

Dandoczy was the most talented and most
r. 0msing pupil of tire Conservatory of
klansenburg, Pennsylvania He loved true
classical music, but could not obtain adj
mission to musical circles where he might
have had a chance of a brilliant career His
skin condemned him to play with his tan.esol-
orcd brethren at country hops and in music
halls His auditors did hot want to hear
anything but drinking and street songs of
the meaneSt sort. Many a time when Joseph
would play the finest TUNES TO them they
commenced screaming and stamping and
challenging him until he threw down his
fiddle in disgust. Twice be cut his throat in
despair, hut was cured and restored TO his
hated occupation.
One day in the beginning of December he
h;d again been playing at village romp
and went home, his genius outraged with the
low profanity he had been forced to make
mt.sic for aud disguised with the life he was
compelled to lead. He locked himself up in
his bare and lonely room, and began playing
most unusual and thrilling fantasies upon
his violin. The musi" grew wilder and
wilder, and mare weird and unearthly with
every successive minute. until all of sud-
den it ceased AS it was not resumed the
door of the room was forced open after a few
hours, when Joseph Dandoczy, the gypsy
musician, was fox,nd hanging from hook.
1t was his third attempt at suicide, and that

Treshing Corn.

During the past few years reports have
been occasionally received in regard to the
utility of threshing corn in IN ordinary
threshing machine. This past season re-
ports of the successful results of thresh-
ing corn have been such as to make it ap-
pear that the practice is on the increase,
not only in the west but in the New Eng
land states as we'll.
A correspondent in Minnesota Farmer
claims that q neighbor threshed with q
steam thresher 500 bushels of corn
i'll one short day, using thirteen men and
three teams. Italso required four men to
stack the fodder. The corn was of the
flint variety.
\ 3A,JsGr. Aas1Satc, Mimi, a farmer used
his Case thrd6her, the same rs for small
grain. The fodder was shredded in fine
shape for the cattle to eat, and the shelled
corn was well cleaned. Nine acres gave
280 bushels of shelled corn, and it took
but one day to thresh it. Near Sac City,
a., Mr.. H. H. Blodgett threshed $50
bushels of corn in day. The corn came
out in good condition and the stalks and
cobs were so crushed and mixed that the
stock will eat them up clean. Dwight
Hazen, near Osseo, Wis, and several
others of that vicinity threshed their en-
tire crops In this way ana are entEely
satisfied with the results.
The journalquoted from says: "Ths old
threshers do well, we presume, when the
stalks and ears are not too Large, but the
work will be done better and with less ia-
bility to damage machinery, when new
machine made especially for the purpose
shall have been introduced. We under
stand that such will soon be put upon the
market
Iowa Homestead tells how farmer in
Iowa threshed about 200 bushels of corn
per day; this farmer prepares the machine
for threshing by taking out the front con-
cave and each alternate tooth of the rest.
The journal in question says that thresh-
ing corn is the quickest and most eeonomi-
cal way of disposing of tt, costing but
little more than h.:sEins and shelAng the
corn, and the saving in the value of the
fodder is about 40 per cent

Am American I:uin Which Has Isecn Un.
earthed in Alabama.
An object of interest to the general
public. and one that claims the attention
of a-chce0logists in particular, is exhibit.
ed by Cain G Werner. The exact pur-
pose which the thing shown was designed
to serve can only be explained by those
wersed inGntiquitv. A human head upon
a bird like body with fan tail, carved
in stone. describes the appearance
of work that bears all the evil
dence of prehistoric origin. The face is
purely Egyptian. Across the head is
cast something resembling an amice
placed in such. a manner as to reveal the
entire forehead. The image is formed
in such q manner as to be fairly balanced
upon a baseltapering from the middle of
the body. The base is round and hol-
lowed to depth of about two inches,
tapcring in coneike form. A raised rim
on the top OF upper part of the body hol-
lowed In like manner and of the same
dimensions as the hollow in the base. in
terseets a hole drilled at right angles with
that bored through the upper part of the
body.
The figure istwelve and one-half inches
long and nine and three-quarter inches
high. Its weight is twenty-one pounds.
The figure is perfect of its kind. There
: a small fracture in the tail, and cut
in the lower left cheek. The proportions
of the face are well preserved. The carv-
ing, though rude, is bold, and the effect
produced striking, considering the sim
plcity OF the design. The material seems
to be granite.
The manner in which it came into their
possession is curious. Some time ago a
citizen of Alabama informed the firm
that his brother, A Berkstressor, farmer
residing near Montgomery, Ala, while
blowing had turned up strange image
that was regarded as an Egyptian idol.
Mr. Cain made further inquiry concern
ing the matter, and having satisfied him
self that the statement made by the
farmer had been verified by the people of
secured the figure. All
who have examined it expness the opin
ion that it is undoubtedly prehistoric. 1t
is said that there is but one other figure
similar to it, and that is in the Smith
sonian MISUNDERSTANDING Times.
