CufIrg IInms.


The slaughter Of the Porkers begins this
north on all well regulated farms. The
hams and shoulders, destined for bacon, are
liable to be spoiled in two ways-by too
much salt and by too little. Not one ham
III ten offered in the market is properly cured
for human food. Many persons put the hams
in with other pork, and spoil it. Many of
the recipes offered are too indefinite to be of
any service. The following cures bacon fit
for king, or his eldest daughter.


For one hundred pounds of ham take salt,
ten pounds-Turks Island is best-six ounces
of saltpetre, and two pounds brown S gar.
Mix the ingredi nts as evenly as possible
and rub them upon the flesh side of the hams
and shoulders. Pack the hams in clean
cask, skin side downward. Put stone
and board on top of the hams and fill up
with clean cold water so as to cover them.
In few days all will be dissolved and form
a pickle just right. But the salt in solution
is continually sinking to the bottom. There

out and pouring back again-or, if the bar.
rel is but partly filled, roll 1t around a few
times SO as to stir the contents thoroughly,
as ten as once a week. The neglect OF
stirring the pickle, after it is made, spoils
many barrel of hams. In six weeks they
will be cured just right. Smoke them ten
days 10 two weeks, in a cool smoke house.
Put them in tight cloth wrappers, whitewash
the wrappers, and they will keep for years.
This is our family recipe, used for foui teen
years, and always makes quarters of ham,

The TINES, &c.-Notwithstanding
there is some talk OF scarcity of funds,
hard times to borrow money, and that like,
We verify believe there has not been a time
within the past two years when there was
more money to be loaned than now. We
know of a large number of persons who are
prepared to furnish funds TO almost any
amount, and have means for bringing large
quantities of money here to loan, but this
money is laying under lock and key, and for
the very reason that they are very careful
about the nature of securities taken. The
failure of the crop, and the decrease in val


lie of real estate, has been the means Of de
stroying confidence, which we presume can
be restored again only by the return Of
bountiful harvest season, and the conse-
quent recuperation of the times Money is
not hard thing to borrow in these times
in either the West or th East, provided the
applicant has the right kind of securities to
give the lender. That is all that is required


We may talk of the overburdened banks of
the East, and wish the contents thereof
would make q trip this way-that is done
already. There is fully enough here to sup
ply :he demand--if not theie can be on
short notice; but nothing but first class Sc
curity is taken. There must be q change in
real estate and agricultural matters before
we can expect to see funds plenty and easily
procured in this market. Our bankers and
brokers are ready to discount, but they wish
to do their business in q more safe and
careful way than many have pursued here
tofore, when times were more propitious.-
But there is no reason to repine, nor is there
any good cause for turning back. Let US
continue to work, and, with the help Of
Providence. put ourselves in a position to
get hold of the sinews of war; as in for.
mer days. Some people will grumble any
way, but it is far more effective to place the
shoulder to the wheel and with might and
main push the car of improvement forward,
than be constantly pulling back. The land
is just as good in Scott county, and, for
aught we know. there is just as much of it
as there was when times were better, and
We believe there can be as much made from
it. Let farmers pay little more attention
to the culture Of corn, oats, hogs, cattle.
horses, etc, and less attention to the cult
vation of wheat, and We think there will
be less heard of hard times

EF- The scarcity of potatoes in this
market is more felt than it has been for sev
erul years. Last fall, when the prices were
considered highly remunerative almost ev-
cry farmer brought his crop in and disposed
OF the same to spectators who took the
same away. And how is it now The
probability is very great that We shall be
under the necessity of going to other parts
and purchasing to bring here to retail at a
figure not often known. Good potatoes are
held at from ninety cents to one dollar per
bushel now. and it is fair to suppose that
they will reach one dollar and fifty cents or
two dollars per bushel before the new crop
comes in Well, let it be so-those who
cannot afford to purchase potatoes can have
the satisfaction of knowing that bread is
cheap, and can be used as substitute.

be wondered at, when the great quantity of

obstacles have to be overcome. The Fort

TALENT AND GENIUs.-Very felicitous ia DR..
Holmes when he says "the world is always
ready to receive talent with open arms. Very
often 1t does not know what to do with genius.
Talent is docile creature. 1t bows its head
meekly while the world slips the collar over it.
1t backs into the shafts like lamb. 1t draws
its load cheerfully, and is patient of the bit and
of the whip. But genius is always impatient of
its harness, its wild blood makes it hard to
train.


A goose flies by chart which the Royal Geo
graphical Society could not mend. poet like
the goose, sails without visible landmarks to
unexplored regions of truth, which philosophy
has failed to lay down upon its atlas. The
philosopher gets bis track by observation the
poet trusts to his inner sense, and makes the
straighter and swifter line.


Talent is a very common family-trait genius
belongs rather to individuals just as you find
one giant or one dwarf in family, but rarely
a full brood Of either Talent is often to be
envied, and genius very commonly to be pitied.
It stands twice the chance of the other of dying
in hospital in jail in debt. in bad repute. 1t
is perpetual insult to mediocrity its very
word is trespass against somebody's vested
ideas"

HOMEs--I would entreat you to give less

crs that enliven home; less to the green blinds
and cupola, where you never go, and more to
the books and pictures about your family room.
Do not build, keeping rooms to go in once q
year; do not sti6e yourself in email kitchens for
the sake of showing up shabby -genteel parlor
once a month to your parson, or to the kindly
gossips your sewing society. Make your liv-
Ing room the largest, the sunniest the most
cheerful of your whole house. Let the winters
noon, stream into it warm and golden. Let the
feathery tufts of grasses, and the flaming boughs
Of autumn, which your daughters hands have
gathered, rustic and glow upon the mantle
Let there be pictures upon the wall which shall
keep ever in your eye the lessons of Faith, les
sons of courage lessons of charity. Make it
altogether such place as your friends shall
delight to linger in, and your childrens' hearts
cleave to-fondly-always Let there be no
sham about your house; rooms you do not want;
blinds you never open or shut; cupoas which
have no use. These things are as arrant and
abominable affectations as any coxcombry of
cities. Let all of your home-furnishings and
surroundings be typical of comfort, order and
