CURING BACON.
Th Dry Froceas Produces aa Excellent Ar.
tide.
The dry process of converting pork
into bacon makes an excellent article,
sweet aud firm. Everyoue knows bow
different is the taste of fresh dry salt
from that of salt in a dissolred state.
After the carcass of the bog lias been
divided, place tbe pieces of pork in
tended for bacon to one side. Hub
them well with coarse salt, and let the
blood drain for 21 hours. Mix one and
a half pounds coarse brown sugar, six
ounces saltpeter, and one and a half
pounds salt. After these ingre
dients are well mixed, rub into
the pork well, especially on the
tlesli sides, l'ile these pieces of pork
on top of one another in a salting
trough, with a groove or gutter round
its edges to do away with the brine.
To allow this brine to soak into the
meat will Impart a vile taste. Turn
the uieut every two days, rubbing iu
more of the salt and sugar preparation.
The proportion given is sullicient for
14 pounds of bacoa. The sugar pos
sesses preserving qualities in a very
great degree, without the pungency
aud astringeucy of salt, and imparts a
milduess aud mellowness to the cured
meat. Toomuchsaltcon tracts the libers
of the meat, thus rendering it hard and
tough. The meat remains in this state
for two or three weeks, uccording to
circumstances. In dry weather it re
quires a longer time than during damp
weather.
The place for salting should always
be cool, but well ventilated. Cou lined
air, though owl, will taint meat soouer
than the midday sun accompanied by
a breexe. When the meat is sullicieutly
salted, wipe it dry and smoke for two
or three weeks, according to size. The
meat must be hung to siuuke in a dry
place, where no water will touch
it, and the smoke must proceed from
wood, licfore you hang the meat to
jiuokc, .rub the flesh side well with
bian. This prevents the smoke from
getting into the little openings and
make a crust that dries on, As to time
required to smoke the bacon, it depends
upon the size, and whether there is i
constant smoke. If the smoke is con
stunt and rich from hard wood it re
quires about two weeks' time. The
bacou must not be dried up, and yet it
must be perfectly dry. Lleauor M.

THE FARM VV03K SHOP.
Au Important Adjunct to Every We
Kegulated Farm.
A work shop on every farm is a great
convenience; every progressive farmer
has one, and those who want to keep
up Willi the advancement of agricul
tural interests will follow suit. To
build a workshop is an easy job; it
aoean t taite long and costs but little,
if constructed as that dear old cabin in
which I used to work. My workshop
was aooui exiu leet and six feet from
the floor of the loft, covered with oak
boards and having no floor save the
ground. It was sided up with one-
luch oak boards, which were sawed
from timber cut la the woods, the
spaces between the planks being cov
ered with thin oak strips. The shop
was provided with an anvil, two strong
hammers, a rice, planes, saws, screw
drivers, chisels, a shaving horse, brace
and a set of 15 bits, ranging from an
eighth of an inch to an inchspoke
shaves, a square and rule, etc., all of
which may be bought new for about
113. I also had a harness-maker's outfit
in the shop, so when harness needed
repairing 1 did not hare to go eight or
ten miles to have it done. Whenever
any of the machinery get out of order
it could generally be repaired at home,
and thus save money any time. F'or
instance, when wheat Is dead ripe and
ought to be cut as soon as possible, the
binder breaks, a rod or some minor
part gets out of order; then to the
blacksmith shop, unless you are pretty
well skilled la the work of repairing
iron and hare a shop and tools of your
tfwn, in which case much valuable time
is saved.
A work-shop is, ia my 'judgment, as
essential to the farm as a spring or
cistern, and t am ardently in favor of
the latter. When there is work to be

The Ice-Jlouae.
J he number of farms on which ice
bouses are to be found and the ice crop
is regularly harvested is increasing as
me larmers become better acquainted
with the advantages of having a sup
ply of "bard water" in hot weather,
aud the fact ia that It can be stored
and kept very economically. Last fall
we indicated how a cheap ice house
could be made by digiug in the face
of a bauk, or even on level irround.
where the subsoil is sufliciently porous
to absorb the water resulting from the
melliug of the ice. This plau will not
work, however, unless the ground is
uncommonly porus. In one case where
we saw it tried a pump had to ba put
iu io remove tne water. A better way
is to, u possible, locate the house
where it can be drained,
necessary. The "house" to which
we refer was dug several feet deep,
posts were set above and the walls run
about four feet above the surface,
when a roof of cheap lumber was put
on. ine thicker the ice the better
will keep, other things being equal,
oecause mere will he fewer iuterslices
in the mass. Solidity should be aimed
at in packing, the spaces between the
blocks being tilled with broken ice or
snow. Around aud over the body ol
ice at least two feet of sawdust, ot
somewhat more of chaffy straw,
should be used. In cutting ice it pays
to measure carefully, as the ice packs
mucit ueiter wheu the blocks are
square and uniform in size. It is well,
also, to remember that men do not
gather pure ice from foul water.
LpltomisL
Leaves aud Cut Ntraw for th Poultry
lloui.
There is one poiut of advantage in
the use of cut straw or leaves which
largely influences laying in winter,
and that is the warmth retained in the
poultry house. It is not that these
materially create warmth, but they
deep the winds from coming iu along
the floor, and as they also absorb
dampness they prevent the settling of
moisture on the walls. Let anyone go
iuto a stable or stall that has four or
nve inches or morn of leaves on the
floor, und the stall will be found warm
er and more comfortable thuu one hav
ing the floor bare. Farm and Fireside.

As a rule the first 100 pounds of

Wheu the winter hauling aud
other team work is mostly coun'ued to
the farm, it is olten best to let th
horses go barefooted all winter, but it
does not pay to use a barefooted horse
much on rough roads.

There is apparently little founda
tion lor the claim made by some feed
ers that most of the nutriment has
been taken out of the grain which
passes the animal whole: often the loss
is sullicient to twice pay for grinding
tho feed.
Fresh eggs and fresh-killed poultry
will always bring a good price. If the
quality (of eggs) is regular -no new
nest ones the price will be way above
market quotations. This is where the
farmer has the advantage. Make your
own market in tbe nearest town.
The hoofs of the horses must be
kept properly trimmed or they will
grow long and ill-shaped, then per
haps split; or they will grow long in
front, throwing the foot back upon
the heel, which sometimes sprains the
large tendons of the limbs.
Many times winter dairying fails
to pay, simply because of the lack of
proper facilities for caring for the co.vs
and the milk. With open sheds, or a
cold stable, there is an undue demand
upon the food consumed to keep up the
animal heat.
Clean, warm water mornings, dur

FIRST WOMAN'S CLU3.
It Was raassrs'lB rfclladeipala Over
a Ceatory -
The first worrjan's c)ub founded in
America, or at least ti e first about
which we have authentic information,
was held in ths city of t'enn U'S years
sgo, under the name of "The Fema.e
Society for the Relief and Improvement
of the Poor." It was besun and organ
ized by a Quaker spinster, Anne Parish,
who was born in I'M and dd jus", be
ftre the nineteenth century began, at
the end of the year l. The tociety
consisted first of 23 young, accom
plished women of the best families, w ho
met every week to go about among the
poor and needy. When the city was
visited by yellow feer, shortly after
the formation of the club, tbe mettle
of its members was tried and found to
ring true; while most who bad the
means fled from the town, these i'i
Quaker women staved with Anne Par
ish and fought the plague, raising
money, visiting the dj ing, clothing the
well and comforting the bereuved.
From that time to the present the so
ciety baa endured and continued in the
work thus early initiated; the grand
daughters and great-granddaughters
of the first founders, w ho have inherited
the club membership along with their
Quaker traditions, their fine old family
names that still count in Philadelphia
society, are now preparing to celebrate
the club's on hundred aud second
birthday. The membership is passed
cYwn through the eldest daughter, and
the methods are not altered from those
first chosen; there is no president nor
vice president, the only officers being
two clerks, a treasurer aud a commit
tee of 13; the prominent work of th:
elub is the maintenance of a "bouse
of industry," where nearly 100 old
Quaker women of Indigent circum
stances go daily to sew, knit and mend
in coufortub'.e quarters in the bouse on
North Seventh street, which the club
tas lodged in since the middle of this
cir.tury. llie women are paid good
wages for their work and are given i

on women's hots is, I think, due to an
unwillingness on their part to assume

know the cruelty entailed in obtaining

Treatment of stained Floors,
Stained floors should be restained at
least once a year. Have tbe floor thor
oughly scrubbed and dried before go
ing over with the paint and varnish.
To secure the best results, the stain
should be put on first and allowed to
dry before the coating of varnish is
added. A mixture of warm water, sonp
and household ammonia Is the best
fluid one can use for cleaning board
floors. Never use a scrubbing brush
on a painted, stained or varnished floor.
Use a soft mop. Ink spots may be easi
ly removed by rubbing them with spir

after an application of fuller's earth.

leaves, crushed and fermented, he ob
tains a liquid possessing the fragrance
and taste of apples, and from vine

theory la that the peculiar flavor of ap

scarcely any other is more dreaded than
croup. It so often comes in the night.
The danger is so great. The climax is so
suddeu. it is no wonder that Mis. w. J.
Dickson (b-tter known under her pen
name of " Stanford Kveleth,") calls it " the
terror of mothers." Nor is it any wonder
that she writes in terms of praise and
gratitude for the relief which she has
found both from her own anxieties, and
for her children's ailments, in Dr. I. C.
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It would be Im
possible to better state the value of this
remedy than is done in Mrs. Dickson's
letter, which is as follows:

Dr. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral was not used in
our family, for throat and lung troubles,
and the number of empty Cnerry Pectoral
bottles collected daring the season, told
where relief had been sought. This
