4 ___ _-_ Grange Dep’t V. E. TOBEY, Editor. ('otmininicntionH intended for the Kditor of ihiM department should be a<ldressed to him «» Norristown, Ark. Curing Bacon. j As the season for pork killing is about at hand and a good (jttal * it v of bacon is desirable and essen tial, being an indispensable store with our planting class, we com-j mend tlie* following clipping from the Country Gentleman to the perusal of our readers: Take out the ribs, and, after I cutting off the liant and shoulders, divide the side longitudinally about half nay it]). The upper1 ^ half being the most solid fat and J meat, is cut in suitable pieces for the pork barrel, and the lower: half being thin and streaked alter nately with fat and lean, is just; the thing for bacon. Take off a narrow strip from the lowest belly aide, is all fat, and makes good lard. Leave your bacon in one piece, and put it in a plain pickle of salt and water strong enough to Hunt a potato, for two weeks (if the pork is very heavy, let it i ' remain for three days or a week longer); then hang in a smoke house, and cure to a light brown, | more or less according to the j taste. ('tit thin, trim off the skin : and smoky edges, and broil or fry and cat hot, and you have a i dish relishing to the most delicate appetite, and satisfying to the most hearty. Boiled, it is a de licious addition to poultry, and is first-rate eaten cold afterward. The English bacon is generally * dry salted, and inueIt of it is hung up and kept without any Smoke, except what it may get front the farmer's kicclten, and is used •through the year as we use our salt pork. I find that the pickle is quite as good and much less trouble than the process of drying. Some add saltpetre, but I think it lias a tendency to make the meat hard, without any corres ponding benefit. The bacon put up in this country and sold as “sugar cured breakfast bacon is t very nice and sweet, but in flavor is exactly like ham. The addi tion of sweetening matter spoils it for my taste, and takes awaj the simple and appetizing flavor ■of the pure salt and smoke. Put sugar in your ham. but keep it out of your bacon. NEW LAWS.

Ni ver go to bed with cold feet. Never try to sleep without being perfectly certain that you w’ll be able to keep them warm. To lie one night with cold feet, gives such a strain on the system as will be felt seriously, perhaps end ing in a lit of sickness. (Old feet show ail unbalanced circulation. The very best thing to do is to warm them by exercise, if that lie practicable. If not, try dipping them in hot and cold wa ter, alternately, two or three times and then use vigorous friction. If that does not warm them and keep them warm, heat them be fore the fire, drying them thor oughly, and then correct your habits or improveyour health, for lie sure that one or the other is wrong, perhaps both. W ith all the rest, if you sleep i i: i lid tv i with cotton sheets. iii a cold room, put on an extra covering on the feet. It is very convenient to have a ‘foot comfort just wide enough to cover the top of the bed and almost a yard deep. This mav be made ot some light material (perhapsthe remains of a pretty dress,) filled with cotton, like a ’“comfortable,” and tacked with some harmonious color. During the day this may be thrown over the foot board, and : spread on the bed at night. 1 he advantage of this is to secure sufficient light covering for the , feet without overburdening the re j mainder of the l)Ady. If you use a hot brick or an iron, put it in the bed a little be forehand, then when retiring remove it. To sleep with the feet [ in contact with it, has a tendaney to make the feet tender. ! But better than both these, and tc lie used with or without them, is the foot blanket. This may be* square yard of domestic flauel, 01 anything else you like that if warm enough, only have it nie* and clean. Fold this aroum , your feet and ankles before yoi ' |iut them down into the bed. I j not very cold, this will often warn I them, especially if you have usee | friction ; and if warm it will pre ; vent their becoming cold by con 1 tact with the cold sheets. I' does not make the lect tender and it is farmore convenient that ! the hot brick or soap-stouc. 1 ty it, and if you are troupled will I cold feet you will be likely to kcej j it by you hereafter. Whatcve ! you use, always lie at full length i To “curl up,” hinders free cirenla tiou.—Herald of Health. -— The United States suprem court has ordered the Arkansa Hot Springs case to be advance! on the docket, and by agreemcn of council the arguments will b heard on the 4th of January next These cases were decided in favo ■ of the government by the court c I claims last spring, and the claim ants of the title to the lands it voiced appealed.

SEVEN REASONS FOR PURCHASING AN ARION PIANO. i FIRST. t There are FOUR Valuable PATENTED improvements in the ARION ( Piano, which SIMPLIFY its construction, and which the most unskilled 1 person can understand, MUST IMPROVE the TONE and DURABILITY ■ of the Instrument. SECOND. The Arion is as perfect an instrument in workmanship and quality of ■ materials used in its construction AS CAN BE MADE, and every Piano 1 we manufacture is fully warranted for live years. ■ THIRD These Instruments have greater VOLUME of TONE combined with . a perfect EVENNESS throughout the scale, and a length and.purity of ' vibration, that cannot ho found in any oilier square Piano. FOURTH | The Arion remains in tunc longer than any otlief Plano in the world, as lias been fully demonstrated since its tirst introduction to the Musical , Public: for nroof of this fact read our testimonials from purchases. S FIFTH ALL our instruments are 71-3 Octaves, ami they are the largest square Pianos manufactured. We use the SAME QUALITY of materials, and pay the same price for workmanship for our plain Pianos, as we do for the high-priced ones. SIXTH Although THE ARION costs to manufacture more than any other j Piano made (owing to its peculiar construction), we sell at lower figures , than the SAME GRADE of Piano can he purchased for elsewhere; because ] we are desirous of increasing our business, our facilities for manufactur- j ’ ing being UNLIMITED. , SEVENTH | Over Seven 'Thousand Purchasers in all parts of the world, who have 1 purchased Arion Pianos, now testify to the excellent tone and great dura- > bll Ity of these instruments; while nearly all the Conservatories of Music r' throughout the United States have adopted the ARION PIANO. ■ - I 1 SSTTho Patent Arion Piano-Fortes have been adopted and are used ex- , clusively in the New York Conservatory of Music. | It is acknowledged that the most severe, test a Piano can undergo is • constant use in a Conservatory. The New York Conservatory of Music j has constantly in use upwards of Thirty Arion Pianos, and we re spectfully refer to this institution as to the durability and excellent I qualities of our instruments. Our Pianos are also used by the leading . Seminaries and Colleges throughout the United States, and by many of i the principal Opera Troupes. 1 ■ I - j 1 CAUTION! j TO THE PUBLIC:—No Piano-Forte has ever become so popular, and gained such an excellent reputation, in the Maine spue of time, as the AKION PIANO. Each year since its introduction, lias the demand increased, and three times already have we found it necessary to enlarge our factory. The great and constantly increasing demand for the AKION ' PIANO has led others to oiler to the public a “cheap” (V) Piano hearing a similar name to ours. In order that no person need lie misled by pur chasing one of these instrumonss, thinking they are obtaining a Piano of our manufacture, and with our patented improvements we cull attention ] to the following fact, namely :— I Ail'the Pianos we iiuuiufaeture have the following east in large letters, on the right hand end ot the iron plate, viz.: ARION PIANO-FORTE, : Patented Nov. 13, 1866, and June 23, 1868. ! ] 1 j I As the above eau neither be put on nor removed after the plate is first J cast, it is therefore a perfect safeguard to purchasers.
