To Cure Hams and Bacon.

Tn bulletin Of the North Carolina
station it says that there are two
methods Of curing on the farm-dry
sailing and picking. Dry sailing is
more largely practiced than picking,
but in our experience we have been
led to prefer: the picking.
They use a b. ime strong enough to
float potato, and after the meat is
cut and trimmed it is dropped into
this brine for two or three days to
draw out the blood It is then taken
out and a fresh brine is made, or the
old brine boiled and skinned. To
the brine We then add one ounce Of
saltpetre and pint Of black moIasses
for each 100 pounds of meat The
meat is then returned to the brine,
the thinner parts being put by them
selves and the hams and shoulders In
another cask. The thin parts remain

WISE WORDS.

Act to-day and rest tomorrow.
Don't talk Of future doing, but do,
now.
Mud-slingers usually scrape it off
themselves.
The upright character needs down
right sense.
Enthusiasm is the fountain Of per-
petual youth
1t is not history alone that has room
for the heroic.
The room for improvements is usually
spacious one.
It is only borrowed wings that make
high flight dangerous.
The men who make the world are
the men who al e uot on the make.
The winds Of temptation may be
used to settle your roots more firmly.
The rainbow of promise is born of
the rays of love on the rain of sorrow
Ii you are certain that you are un-
certain, how GREATS your uncertainty
Adversely is the griudstone on which
we lose enough to put au edge of use
