O to u Meat.

Col. Charles Schiller, of De Soto par
isb, the standard authority ia this State
in matters of hill farming, in II recent
letter TO Il friend, described his method
of curing meat, which we give IN fuil
below. Col. Schuler has been SO success
fui in meat curing, handling 1t on a
commercial scale. that his views ana
conclusions are of great value to every
one interested. He says:
In the first place, to have good, sweet meat,
you must fatten it on a sound ration; next, inc
just as soon as 1t has been killed. rms prac-
tice Of killing hogs and letting the entralls cool
before scalding is not q very good one, anu
should be stopped at once.
er's meat saw and cut the hog in two parts, az
viding the backbone equally. by following thl3
plan you will get two nice middling sides ana
have no waste. l do not remove the RIBS or
backbone-only the part next to the shoulder.
Separate the shoulders and hams having 8 care
to make the sides as long as possible. spread
each piece, and let 1t lay over night so that the
animal heat have a chance to escape.
Next morning pack away the sldes IN a box.
using plenty of salt, especially between the
meat. Let it remain four weeks, then if you
want to bacon it. dip it in boraX solution and
hang in alright smoke house. Should you
want it for home use repack 1t and salt without
smoking, and you can keep it sweet and pure
dry salt-for at least six months, but l would
advise repacking every sixty days.
The HAMS, shoulders and jowl, rub thorough
ly with the sugar cure, pack away with skin
part down, then apply about a double handful
OF mixture to the flesh part of each ham and
shoulder and fill up between pieces with clean
salt. After they have been in salt four or five
weeks lowing to weather. take up, dip in bOrax
mixture and hang up in the highest part Of
your air-tight smoke house. Hams ought to
get cool smoke. 1 use gum, hickory and china
for making smoke. Let your hams and shout
ders hang until you get ready to use or sell them.
They will not need any further curing.
The feet. after being cleaned, should be put
in strong brine, in winch you can keep them
any length of time. Soak as you want to use
them.
ROKAX MIXTURE.
To 20 gallons of pure water add l pound Of
well dissolved hOrax. Bring the mixture to IL
boiling heat, then dip your meat before hang
ing it mp. Be certain that the htFax is dis
solved.
SUGAR CURE MIxTUIa1
To l bushel If salt add ] galloN of pure cane
syrup, l pound finely ground Black pepper, =!
pound saltpetre. Mix well and rub meat, APP
plying also a double handful of the mixture to
the flesh part of each ham and shoulder.

Trade in the South.

Cts ALUuiS 0TOCGf. ga
The continued prosperity of the Soutf
is n of the reasons we should congrat.
ulate ourselves as a nation. From al.
most every section reports are received
OF Q very encouraging nature. The re.
tail merchants are prosperous, aud al
they reflect Oh the condition Of the far.
mer and planter, it is only reasonable to
believe that all the people of that sec
ton of the country are prosperous. The
Northern wholesale merchants have not
failed to recognize the South as a pros
porous field to cultivate very carefully,
and the force of commercial travellers
in that territory this year is much larger
than ever before. Trade in the South
has been excellent up to the first Of
February, and we believe it will soon
continue to increase. Immigration.
which formerly drifted to the West and
Northwest, has TUNED to the South and
Southwest. With the increase in popu-
lation and the development of factories.
giving the laboring classes a larger pur-
chasing power, the trade conditions Of
the S~onthwill rapidly advance.

At a regular meeting of the Lodge held this
day the following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
Lo, the gavel has sounded in the East, the
roll of the Craft has been called, and one is
missing-W. Brother ALPHONSE LEVY, who
died yesterday.
Be it therefore resolved, that while we bow
in humble submission to the inscrutable decree
OF the Grand Master of the Universe in thus
depriving us of the life and services of our well
beloved brother, we are none the less sensible
OF the great loss that we have all sustained.
Resolved, that IN the death of this "Amiable,
distinguished and exemplary character" Hum
bic Cottage Lodge has lost one of its most wOr-
thy and useful members, and the community in
which he resided so long has lost an enterpris-
ing, public spirited and worthy citizen,
Resolved, that the lodge and it's jewels be
draped in mourning, that the members wear
the usual badge OF mourning for thirty days,
q page OF our minutes be dedicated to his mem
DRY, and that a copy of these resolutions be
sent to the family of the deceased.

history would be sufficient to rally to
the Democracy every intelligent bust
ness man of the State. Private credit
is largely the reflex Of public credit !;
and every business man in the country
is deeply interested in the %exaltation of
the credit Of his State, his city or his
town. The men who are running Capt.
Pbarr's little burlesque campaign are
the mel who plunged Louisiana and
New Orleans into debt and disgrace,
and made them a stencil in the nostrils
of the business communities of the civ
ilized world. Gov. Foster, on the other
hand, has helped the State out OF the
mire, put her on high ground and made
the name of Louisiana and her people
respected and honored in every quarter
