CHINA AND JAPAN.

JAPAN has no fewer than 700 earth

IN computing the age the Chinese
always reckon back two years from
the celebration of the first birthday,

DR.. MARY A. SUGANUsIA, an Ameri-

that purpose in Japan.
No KISSING ever occurs in Japan ex-
cept between husband and wife, not
even between a mother and child, no
shaking of hands in salutation. If one
were to offer a kiss to a japanese
maiden she would probably think she
was going to be bitten.

HOW TO CUT PORK.
A Diagram Which VIII BE of Help 10
inexperienced.

A Diagram Which Will tie OF Help 10 the
inexperienced.
There are many ways of cutting and
curing pork. The mode TO be pursued
depends largely upon the use for which
it IS intended and the different markets
TO which it is to be sent. Sometimes
the hip bone in hams is removed at the
socket and sometimes it is left I'M
touched, while the shank is left long to
the hook joint, or cut up close 10 the
ham. The shoulder may be cut square
back of the shoulder blade and neck, or
trimmed off rounding at the upper
part. The bacon pieces may extend
from the ham to the shoulder or the
flank may be separated from the back.
Sometimes the tins, of the ribs are left
in. The side containing the bone is
called mess pork Without the bone it
is called clear pork.
The accompanying diagram will
doubtless be of assistance in enabling
the inexperienced to master the
process. The head should first be cut
off and the carcass divided inhalves by
splitting the backbone lengthwise.
The shoulders and hams, and ?,
should be taken out. The rump piece,
8, and 8, can either be sailed or used
fresh; 4, and 8, the mess" pork, are
good for chops, outlets or roasts, or the
ribs may be removed and the whole
side, including s, may be turned into
bacon. The lower part, s, is the por-
ton most highly esteemed for bacon.
1t should be cut in long strips, conven-
lent for smoking.
The head should be split down, and
the jewels, IL, sailed or SIN oked.
The remainder of the head, with the
ears ana feet, may be picked.
To cure pork put an inch layer of
salt in the bottom of barrel and then
pack in a layer of pork as solidly and
as closely as possible, with the rind
next to the slaves of the barrel Put
layer of salt on top of the pork, then
pork again, and so on until the barrel
is full Then place on top of ali a
board cut nearly to fit inside the bar
rel Weight it down with a heavy
stone, then fill up with brine of cold
water containing all the salt it will
hold in solution.
Pork must never be packed until it
is entirely free from all animal heat,
nor must barrel or cask be used that
has ever held anything else. The best
quality of salt should be used in the
proportion of fifty pounds to barrel.
If a little saltpetre is added the pork
will harden and assume reddish tint.
The parts destined for hams or bacon
should be sailed by themselves This
curing should be sufficient to season
them only, as if too much salt is used
the flavor is affected To make pickle
for Toe pounds of ham or bacon take
four gallons of water six pounds of
salt, two and half ounces of salt

Sheen on the Plains.

There is probably no kind of stock
that viii depreciate faster under neg
lect or improve slower when run down
than sheep: and if we mistake not the
frequent stampeding of the flocks to
market is one of the inevitable conse-
quences. Sheep can hardly be kept
on the plains by ''greasers' or ranch
crs' and retain the vigor of the foun-
dation stock because they are kept in
such immense focks as to preclude all
idea Of care from the ignorant herds
men. Sheep to be profitable for wool
or mutton need the kindly and pater-
nal care of a shepherd. and the smaller
the noclzs the more the likelihood Of
their getting it and Of making money
for their owner. We hail then the
sending of hundreds of thousands of
the little thin, skinny weaklings to the
stockyards to be sold for what they
will fetch as a good radiance of very
poor rubbish. The only misfortune
about it is the fact that in flooding the
stockyards they lower values measure
bly, and perceptibly all along the line,
and do injury to the business as a

For dry sailing the proportions are a
