In answer to an inquiry on this sub
jcct, the Orange Judd Farmer says:
. BY far the best and in fact about
the only satisfactory method Of renew
ing a timothy. meadow is to pillow 1t
up and put in corn or winter wheat for
a year or two. The meadow land makes
excellent grain fields and the cultivation
which must be given them will COM
pletely kill out the moss which has
gained a foothold. 1t often happens
that a field sowed to- timothy will for
some reason not clearly known pro-
.luce only an Indifferent yield of hay
This same ground cropped with corn for
two seasons, then put in wheat, and
grass seed again sowed upon It, mas
given most satisfactory results, setting
evenly all over the field and yielding
profitable crops OF hay. We would ad-
wise, too, this winter or next Spr1ng,
break up the meadow to the depth OF
four or four and half inches and plant
to corn when the time comes next Apr1l
or May. Cultivate thoroughly next
summer and the following season again
put in corn The third spring SOW to
oats and the same autumn put IN Whetl.
Upon this wheat SOW timothy seed at
the rate of one~tifth of a bushel per
acre. IT the autumn sowing does not
catch" well, put on some more seed the
following spring. This treatment will
rid the land Of MOSS etc., and usually
insure good set Of grass. If, however,
the land is 50 situated that it can not
be put in grain crops, about the only
! thing to be done is to fertilize heavily
| with barnyard manure. If the ground
| is in proper condition to produce a
good growth Of grass, weeds, moss, ETC.,
will soon be crowded out. Manure
| made by stock fed some timothy hay is
| best as it not only adds increased fer
| tility but also furnishes seed. In re-
| gions where the soil is poor and is lack
| ing some of the more important ele-
ments such as potash or phosphoric
acid, the judicious application Of com
mercial fertilizers might possibly be
profitable but as our correspondent
neglected to describe his soil. advice
can not be given In his case.

Cur1nH Meat.

A Pennsylvania. ia rn':r sends an cast
ern contemporary the following re-
cipe for curing bacon and HAMS, The
recipe Is as follows:
For every 100 pounds Of pork take
eight pounds Of good salt, two pounds
Of brown sugar, two ounces Of salt
peter, one and one-half ounces of pot
osh and four gallons Of wlter. the
brine to- be boiled and cooled:
Meat should lay in a cool
place for three or four days Each
piece to be rubbed with good salt and
the: whole packed down and remain SO
two or three days, according to the
weather The brine is then poured into
the cask at the sides, and the meat is
left for six weeks in the brine. 1t is
then taken out and rinsed in cold wa
ter, when it is hung up to dry for four
or five days, when it is smoked with
hickory wood. When the details of ey-
cry stage of the curing are carefully
looked after the product is simply de-
licious. : 49,. Is
The formula is also we'll adapted for
corned beef to be used during the win
ter months, but it will not keep in sum-
mer, except in the case Of smoked beef.
For fat pork to keep indefinitely, rub
with salt, let it lie in the salt three
days and then pack, using fifty six
pounds of coarse (crystaD salt to each
barrel Of side pork.
