'1 ! 1 r! V AGRICULTURAL. Storing Potatoes. Potatoes are best stored in a dry, cool cellar, where the temperature can be kept by ventilation, at about torty degrees. ' The floor should be of planks, raised three inches from the ground, and laid with one inch spaces between them for ventilation The bins should be about eight feet long, four feet wide and deep, made of loose barred Detitions. wired together at the corners. A bio of this size will bold one .hundred bushels, and with such a one, it it very easy to know precisely how much , the crop amounts to. A box to hold bushel will be found a great convenience in gathering and storing the potatoes. It is made eighteen incheB long, fifteen inches deep in the clear at the tides, and ten inches wide, all inside measurements; tans holding two thousand and seven . hundred cubic inches, or thirteen cubic .inches (about two good sized potatoes) oyer a heaped bushel, which is two thou- .land and six hundred and eighty-seven inches. These boxes can be set one upon another, and then have a apace left be tween the potatoes, and are thus well adapted for use in storing a part of the crop, or a small quantity for domestic nse. Ihe barred sides and bottom, se cure abundant ventilation. The bins in the cellar should have a space of lour inches between the end and the wall, and between the sides ; this is easily made by placing a short rail between them. American Agriculturist. Pickled and Smoked Meats. As a rule, we keep our meats too long in the brine, and loo lone in the smoke house. This is true especially of harp and aide-bacon for family use. When meats are intended to keep all summer, they must of course, be penetrated by salt, and Yell smoked : but for winter and early spring use, it is far better to salt lightly, and smoke very little. Ihe Jinglish farmers have the art of doing this a great deal better than we. In many cases the bacon is only two days in the pickle, then dried for several days, and finally smoked twenty-four to thirty-six hours enough to brown the surface well. Such bacon is adapted to frying, not to boiling. For boiling, louger salting is necessary, and as a rule, dry salted hams are preferred. They are easily over-salted however, and it requires an experienced hand to do the work well, ihe Unions Irish bacon is cured by rubbing in salt, or laying it a abort time in pickle, and not smoked at all, but simply dried in cool weather in a dry atmosphere, sometimes it is smoked for a few hours, just to give it a fine color, When cooked, it is sliced thin and fried, and is crisp and delicious beyond any thing we commonly get. Great quanti ties of choice hams are shipped from this country to Great Britain, and as we learn, are thus handled. They are shipped in just as weak brine as experience has shown will keep them from tainting on the voyage. On arrival, the casks are opened, and the hams thrown to soak in a great vat. When the salt is sufficiently drawn from the surface, they are taken out and beaten np into their original plump form, then the trimmers take off a shaving all ardund on the flesh side; they are exposed a day in the smoke bouse, just to give them a golden russet lint, and they are then exposed for sale. We will warrant that slices of such hams, well broiled, or even fried, will in every quali ty: beat the native American home-cured article out and out. American Agricul turist. How to Make Good Coffee. You published from the Atlanta Con stitution a Georgia woman's receipe for making coffee. It's nonsense. Her coffee is "allowed to boil awhile. Thus she gets rid of the fine aroma and extracts the tan nin, which is not healthful. Now, let any woman who has not a reputation lor fine eoffee trv this reciDe: Buv the best coffee and grind it to the consistency of corn meal. Into a t rench teapot put an ounce of coffee for every person. One pound of coffee will make sixteen caps, and no more. Have everything clean, and as soon as the water in the kettle be gins to boil moisten the coffee and leave it to soak and swell for three minutes; then add a little more water; don't be in a hurry ; continue to add water until you have obtained not more than a large coffee oupful of the extraot. If carefully done the entire virtue of the coffee will be in the cupful of liquor at the end of five min utes. For four persons use a quart of pure milk and have it piping hot; heat the large cups by pouring into them hot water; now divide the coffee into the four cups, each of which will be one quarter full; fill with the boiling milk. This is pure breakfast coffee, the coffee of the gods, of which no man after driuking would be so base as to oall for a second eup. Such coffee cannot be had at any restaurant in New York. He that drink th it this morning will be unhappy if he fails to get it to-morrow morning. But these instructions must be followed to the letter. C. D. L. in N. T. Times. , A Mustard Sponge. In referring to sponge as a carrier of poultices, Dr. Rich ardson considers that it makes the best of mustard carriers. Mix the mustard in a basin with water until the mass is smooth and of even consistency. Then take the oft mass all up with a clean sponge, lay the sponge in the center of a white band kerchief, tie up the corners neatly, and apply the smooth, convex surface to the akin. This mustard sponge, warmed again by the fire and slightly moistened, can be applied three or four times, is good for several hours, and saves the trouble of makiog a new poultice during the weari ness of night watching. The sponge can afterward easily be washed clean in warm water. V Forbearance to Enforce Lien Consideration. A promise to pay the anount due a sub-contractor in considera Vn of his not filing a lien "made by the former owner of the land on which a building bad been erected, who before that time had conveyed the land to a third party, with covenants against in cumbrances, was held valid by the Su- Sreme Court of Wisconsin, in the case of ewett vs. Currier. The Court put its decision on the ground, that the com promise of a doubtful claim is a good con sideration for a promise to pay money, and said that it was settled that such a promise was not within the Statute of Frauds. VV hen the leaves begin to fall" is the best time to set out trees. They will then get well established in their new quarters before winter and go through lafe. Late setting is rather more risky. The Young Orchard for Winter. Before the ground freezes the young orchard should be carefully looked after and prepared for witter. A little neglect in the autumn sometimes will ruin an orchard of young trees, especially if it be an apple or peach orchard. If the work of clearing the borers out, were not done, as it should have been, in September, it is important that it should be done at once, or it may be too late to do it at all this season. To neglect this work may prove the destruction of many trees ; for a single borer in a small tree will nearly destroy it in a single season ; but the chances are that, if any worms get into a tree, there will be two or three, which is enough to destroy a small tree before spring. Al ready the worms that hatched out last summer have done much mischief, and therefore cannot be removed a day too soon. With a sharp pointed knife they can yet be easily removed, although those that hatched out in the early part of the summer will be found to have eaten en tirely through the bark, and to have par tially imbedded themselves in the wood, some three or four inches beneath the surface of the ground. When all of the borers are removed, a small mound of fresh earth should be made around the tree. This will protect the tree from the field nice, and also keep it more firm during high winds. Some heap manure around their trees; but this is wrong, and sometimes proves very in jurious to trees, especially if the manure be strong enough to heat. Only fresh earth should ever be piled around a tree. If manure is to be applied it should be spread outside of the mound of earth. Manure, spread two or three inches deep as (ar as the roots of the tree extend, will lessen the soil and prepare it for plant food, thus causing the tree to grow rapid ly the next season. The peach orchard may be headed in before winter, and thus save doing h in the spring, when time is of more value. That the peach tree does better to cut back the twigs is a fact preity well estab lished; but it is not so well established at what season of the year it is best, to do it. Some prefer the autumn, others the winter or spring, and still others the month of July. from observation we find that those who trim in the winter and spring are the most successful in growing peaches. The apple and pear orchard that has been recently set, will not require much trimming if it has been properly looked after during the growiug season. Care should be taken to keep the lateral limbs near the ground cut back, -s as to leave only enough to furnish leaves to shade the trunk of the tree. Any small limbs in the lop, that cross important limbs, should be cut off. A little attention to this when the tree is small, will save cut ting off large limbs when the tree gets large. Canning Fruit. To every pound of fruit add one quartet of a pound of good sugar. Put the fruit and sugar iuto a preserving kettle; then place on the fire and boil well for fifteen minutes. Having heated the jxrs, to pre vent breaking, put the fruit into them while it is boiling; seal them immediately, aud be certain the tops are put on air tight. The rubbers should always be placed in warm water for a few minutes and then wiped perfectly dry before being placed on the jars. Always keep canned fruit in a cool, dark place. Never use any jar except those with glass covers. NOTICE. All parties indebted to A. R. NISBET & BRO., and A. R. & W. B. NISBET, are re quested to call and settle at once. A. R. & W. B. NISBET.
