without brine, are both popular and
effective when carefully performed.
When it is desired to use brine the
meat may be packed in layers. F. d.
Coburn, excellent authority, advises salt
at the rate of pounds TO each 100
pounds Of pork. Sprinkle the salt evenly
over and around each layer until the
cask is full; then clear rain water or
other pure water is poured in until all
the interstices are filled. Many prefer to
to prepare the brine by adding to
the salt some sugar, saltpetre, ETC.,
dissolving them in water and pouring the
pickle over the meat. A recipe recon-
mended by Coburn is as follows: For
100 pounds of pork, ounces salt
petre, 3 pints common molasses or
pounds brown sugar, and pounds salt
When dissolved, pour over the meat.
Some boil the pickle. skim it of i'm
purities, let it get entirely cold and then
pour it over the meat. In any case, be
sure the meat is always covered with
the brine.
The length of time hams and shoulders
should be kept in pickle depends on
their thickness-fromo one to two months.
For curing the abo~e without brine the
authority quoted from suggests the fol-
lowing recipe: ~ pounds fine salt, 2
quarts moasses, pound saltpetre, well
mixed, for $50 pounds of meat. Rub
hams and shoulders thoroughly with the
mixture, and lay out singly on plat
form in cool, dry place. At the end
Of the first and second week rub them
again as at first, and then expose to con-
tinuous smoke for ten days.
A simpler plan, in which any portion
or all of hogs carcass can be cured, is
to put layer of half an inch or SO of
salt on "A platform or the bottom of a box
or cask, then a layer of meat, en- this a
layer of salt, and SO on until all
is packed and the top well covered with
salt All kinds of cured meat should be
kept in a dry, dark, cool place. -NeaO

Horses Feet.

There is too much neglect of the feet
of horses When they are unshod, the
feet will generally take care of them
selves and keep from getting foul; but,
when they are shOd, they must be fire.
0uently cleaned out, or the earth and
manure will pack SO tightly inside of the
shoes that the bottom of the feet will get
sore, and about the frog inflammation
will set in, and the result will be disease
known as thrush. This may be cured by
washing the creases along the frog with
a dilutiOn of carbolic acid, or with brine
and then packing dry salt in the spaces.
The packing OF the earth will often make
horse lame, and it is sure to do so if a
gravel or small stone is pressed into the
sole of the foot and kept there. Some
times the gravel will force its way
through the sole and only come out at
the top of the foot. When this is the
case the horse is very lame and it takes
month or two for it to get over the pain
full trouble. The feet Of a horse should
always be cleaned out after a drive In the
mud, and when they are packed with
snow The bottom of the foot and the
frog should be let alone both by owner
and black smith, and not be cut down. A
horse wants all its frog to reduce the jar
of travel and to protect the bottom of the
hoof. 1t will wear away as fast as it is
necessary. The feet of horses are cut
down too much, and many a good one
is ruined by fancy shoeing. C0un-

Curing Meat.

The season of the year in which
meats may be cured on the farms with
best success is from December 10Th to
February 18th, the interval between these
dates affording two indispensable con-
ditions, viz, cool weather and i'm
munity from insects and pests. Pork
must be cut to suit the demands OF the
different markets in which it is to be
sold, but never lose sight OF the fact
that it ought to be in such form as Will
pack snugly. Remember too, the I'M
portance of having the meat thoroughly
relieved of animal heat previous to pack
ing down.

BILLIARDS, WHIST AND CHESS.
The Three Great Games of Skill-Prof.
Proctor's Views.


The writer was particularly anxious
to get Professor Proctor's views touch
ing the relative value of these three
games and he cheerfully gave them, in
the following words:
"The game of billiards stands first in
some respects, in this, that it affords
physical and mental exercise at once.
There is not much strain on the mind,
however, and l never knew billiard eX-
pert to be the possessor of great INTELLECT

mind, but he may know nothing of
mathematics and yet may solve with
lightning rapidity, intricate problems IN
geometry-practical problems. A quick,
and true eye, good nerves, and steady
hand, all practiced and disciplined, en-
able him to make the shots with mathe-
NAUTICAL precision. AS l said, a great
billiard player may be man of little
mentality. As rule billiard champions
are men of low order of intellect

cause l am wanting in one OF the

confess / have never succeeded in mas
tering it-have never fathomed its
depths. 1t is delightful pastime, and
cannot be commended too highly as Il
mental disciplinarian; but If one wishes
to enjoy il he must not attempt to be-
come great player. Nine times out of
ten he would meet disappointment, for
only q few men achieve greatness in
chess. 1t is not likely that Paul Muir
ply will be duplicated in the present
century. Chess is purely scientific
game, wholly devoid of the element OF
chance. The brain must exercise itself
in playing this game Jcanisch, the dis
tinguished Russian mathematician, gave
it as his opinion that chess is more in
tricate than the integral calculus
Buckle, the historian, held the same opin
ion. 1t is doubtful whether the game
will ever be improved.

Tho DncISinr Senson.

The ducking season will open in Maryland
to-day. The finest duck shooting to be found
in this country is near the mouth of the Sus-
quehanna River. There are the Susquehanna
flats, covering an area of several square miles.
On these flats grow the choicest celery, which,
combined with the shallowness of the water,
makes the spot most attractive to the fowl.
The State has passed stringent laws governing
the flats, and collects quite a revenue from the
boats engaged in shooting special police
force is maintained to enforce the laws. The
last Legislature passed an act making 1t a mis-
demeanor to fish with net or seine, between
October 10 and December 81, and also to catch
wild waterfowl by net or nets Of any kind
The days on which 1t is lawful to shoot on the
flats are MONDAYS, Wednesdays and FRIDAYS.
