AGBIOtJLTUBS CURING ANArS. --Hams, shoulders and breakfast bacon can be sugar-cured in a tight or open vessel. The open vessel is best. Pack the meats closely in the vessel anu after preparing the pickle, pour it over the meats, and if the vessel be open, put a weight on the meat to hold it under the pickle. If the vessel is tight, turn it half over every third day for twenty days. The vessel must be kept full of pickle.. The pickle is made as follows: For each 300 pounds of meat placed in a tierce or hogshead, put In 24 pounds of salt, three uuarts of good syrup, 12 ounces of saltpe tre, and ll the barrel with water It cur ing jr an open vessel, take the meats out of the vessel and repack as often as you - would turn the vessel if tight. This is done to change the position of the pieces, that the pickle may reach every part. It is best t0 lot the meats remain In the pick le until taken -out to smoke. The tem perature should be kept below fifty de grees whire the pickle remains on the meats. Pickled pork (mess or clear pork) is made by sprinkling rock salt at the bot tom of the barrel, aud packing the pieces closely, placing them on edge, sprinkling salt between the layers, using 30 pounds of salt to 190 pounds of meat. A brine or full strength should then be made and the barrel filled. See that the barrel is kept full of pickle. or if the vessel is an open one, that the pickle covers the meats, if the pickle should begin to ferment at any time more rock salt should be added.When meats cured in this manner are to be smoked, put them in a vcssel of cold wa ter to soak for six or ten hours to remove the surplus salt; then wask in rain water, rubbing well with scrub-b ush or clot, then hang for 24 hours before sul)plping smoke. Sw--et pickled meat shoukd not be soaked in water before smoking, but should Le washed in rain water the same as mu dry salt-cured meats. The meat should be hung,for. smoking,as high above the fire as posbible. The meat should be smoked from' ten (lays to two weeks. Sugar-cured meats should be scrubbed or placed in a daik room before the fly ap pears in the early spring. A Kentucky method of curing hams and bacon is furnished by a gentleman from that State, who knows it to be good and absolutely proof against skippers. Leave the meat in a strong brine for seven or eight weeks, then wash it in luke-warm water, ar d dry. When dry, roll it in a mixture of equal parts of pepper and salt petrc, rubbing it thoroughly with the hand., 1Iang in the smoke house under a slow fire, only partially smoking it. In the spring, before the flies come, paint the meat with New Orleans molasses, then smoke thoroughly. Another method: The following meth od of curing hams Is recommended: Rub the flesh side of the hams with fine salt, using no more than will adhere to it. Let them remain 48 hours, then put them into .a cash, sink down, and cover with a pick le made by dirsolvimg 15 pounas of salt and two an( one half ounces crud3 East india sahipetre in 10 gallons of water, and adding three quarts of molosscs. Keep them weighted down. They will cure ready for smoking In 40 to 60 days. Still another: A well recommended pickle for curing hams is made of one and one halt pounos of salt, one half pound of sugar, one-half ounce of p~otasih. Boil to gether till the scuml has risen ta the top,and then skim. Alter cooling, pour it over the meat and leave the latter mn the solution four or live wveeks. TnEx te'mpering of the cream is one of the most important onerations in butter-mak ing. This is especially true in cold weath er. The difterent parts of cream are affec. ted differently by heat. A can of cream may be placed in a kettle of hot water and be heated till the thermometer indicates 62 toi 65 cegrces without having heated the butter globules in the cream at all. This wvill not ordinarily be the case, it is true, but it is liable to be,and it 1s approx imately so in all cases where the heating is - rapid. Orcam should be kept warm for several hours before churninme, that it may become warmed through. Or, if it is ne cesiary to temper it hiaslily, it should be raised considerably above the churning tenlperature andi siered to fail back, wich it will do in a short time. ECONOMY in feeding should be .one of the first principles. When one kimd of grain is highl and another low the lower priced grain should be substituted, so far as possible. Tihee was never a more fa vorable opportumitg for doinig this than at present. Corn is worth 85 cents a bushel while p)(tatoes are w orth 20 and 25 cents At the isnme time It is a Iihoroughly demon stratedl fact that one bushel of potatoes willl make as maniiy pounids of pork as one bushel oi corn--the notatoes to be boiled. 'ihis hemg the case the saving would be 50 per cent., alter allowing 5 cents per buihiel for boiling the potatoes, while the adlvantages ci ecoh~ed food ini a sanitary point are very great, if more cooked food and less .hard, dIry corn were fed there wouldi be much less of the so-calledi chole ra among hogs, ,__ MAhY a pl)Cson (leplures theO tiatbilty to own a little 'itenhctuse, even one which requlhes but a small amount of heat, so that the many odds and ends around the place mia be rafely preserved through wilnter, iusteadi of having them die of frost.

DOMESTIQ MWNr the trained southern gook Knows has been acquired not only here Uitarily through a long line of predeoe3. lors, but by experience in utilizing tile xmple materials that nature has so abun. lantly lavished around her. Whether r .t is the game the young master has brought home from forqst or stream, or I ;he concoction of quaint dishes, for ] which she draws on the "wegitable f yarden" and smokehouse, she is always 'eady to give one a meal, the doxology a )f which isa lament that it could not I ast longer, Her corn dodgers, break- a last wailles, sweet potato ponos, hoe a akes and hot rolls are marvels of cul. u nary art; while "hoppin' John," shrimp V ie, rice and possum, boned turkey, barbacued pig, and thousands of other irticles, become under her deft manipu lation-luxuries that once tasted nobody otd turn a back upon, until obliged 'o do so by mere inability to eat more. Your old-time Southern cook is also 3conomiojal, Nothing is wasted. The naterials she uses are generally of a simple and inexpensive kind (unlese, of I 3ourse, special occasion calls for "ex ras"), and her methods of combining I xre such as to produce the most pleas ing results. Hero is her fashion of bofling rico; If possible, get the wholo rice, be ause it makes a much more attractive lish than the cracked rice. Wash thor Dughly im three waters (cold); put it in I i porcelain-lined vessel (one having a lid); cover with cold water about two inches above the rico; boil until the a grains swvell and begin to soften, then I ake it off the firo; wash again to remove dl glutinous substance; then add salt I ;o taste; return the rice to the vessel I md set it on the back of the stove for ibout half an hour, in order that it may I gradually steam; keep covered. Always t :emove it from the cooking-Vessel to he serving-dish with a silver forjc; each grain will then stand alone and be i mow white, To EMPLOY FAIR FiNoERs.-A hand some and durable cover is made of a arge square of drab Aida canvas, with a plush square in the centro. The edge Af the plush is scalloped and bound with silk or satin or is buttonholed, as Me's0 tasto may decree. The border is Af the cloth and is to be ombroidered in inany colors. The predominating color should harmonize with the plush used at the centre. The pattern should be chosen with reference to the effect pro luced by looking at it from a distanco, say from across the room. If economy is not considered a narrow band of plush above this border and below it makes it particularly handsome. The edge should be finished with a .tassel-like fringe. The crazy patchwork which is atta'atng so camch attention, and which, like the little girl, is, when good, very good, and when bad, horrid, is used a 1 great deal in the constructibn of table covers. A scarf made in this way is much admired, its centre is of dark olive felt; across the ends bands of' plush LJe put on diagonally, and then the cor ners above and below this are tilled in with the crazy patchwork; the pieces nre all small, and of elegant silk, satins and velvets, joined with innusmerable fancy stitches in various colored silks; the ends are completed by a fringe of tassels tied in with gilt crescents. An other and more simply elegant square spread is of felt, with the corners alone embroidered, in crowels. A square felt cover was recently exhibited in a fancy store, with a border 15 inches deep, of the crazy piatchiwork. This was also Uinished with fringe. ENOLIsH WAU TO ScALLOP LoBSTEins. -One large lobster, a tablespoonful of anchovy sauce, three tablespoonfuls of cream, yolks of two eggs, some bread crumbs, a little cayenne, nutmeg and a lump of butter. Out a large well boiled lobster mn halves with a sharp knife, pound the spawn, pith and coral in a mortar with a lump of butter, then rub it through a colander into a porcelained sauco pan, add the white sauce or cream, the anchovy and the seasoning, boil five minutes, stirrmng sonstantly. Cut the meat of the lobster intosmall pieces, and stir it into the saucowith the yolks of the eggs; make itthoroughly hot, fill the shelis of thebody and tail, strew over them some bread crumbs and browvn in the oven. MmNT SAUCE. - Take fresh young mint, strip leaves from stems, wash, drain on a siove or dry them on a cloth, chop vesry fine, put in a sauce-tureen, and to three heaped tablespoonfuls of mint add two of pounded sugar; let it remain a few minutes well mixed together, and pour over it gradually six tablespoonfuls of good vinegar. Is is better to make the sauce an hour or two before dinner, so tha't the vinegar may be impregnated with mint. The addition of three or four tablespoonfuls of the liquor from the boilirg lamb or the roast is an imn provement. By request. beoTont cakes are economical so far as eggs are concerned, andl, if made wvith core, will melt in the mouths of cldren. To one pound of flour allow half a p~ouind of but ter and a quarter of a p~oundt of sugar ; let the butter stand in a basin near the fire to soften, but not melt.; when soft, rub it and the flour together; then knead in the sugar. 1Roll out in a sheet half an inch thigk; cut out cakes about two inches square; bake until they arc a light brown. Put them away in a stone jar, and they will in a day or two gather moisture enough to be soft. HElm is an excellent rule for making rice pudding without eggs. Wash a colree-cuiul of irice in two or three wa ters, then let it soak all night in one gjuart of now niilk. In thre morning add a lhttle salt, a large spoonful ol butter, a little ground cinnamon, and grated nutmeg. Put In the puddipng dish, and set in the ovein, allowing ample time, say two hours, for it to cook. Stir it Irequently, but without removing from the ovein. When it begins to bubble add a quarter of a p~ound of stoned rai sins, Serve with powdered sugar sprin. kled over it when it is put in saucers. Foin butterscotch, take one pound of sugar, three-quarters of a pint of water, andi set over a slow lire; when dono add one andi one-half tablespoonfuls of but ter and lemon juice to lavor. To make lemon cake, onie cup of su gar, four eggs, three tablespoonfuls of sweet milk, three tablespoonfuls of bak ing powder and one cup of flour. Tnoouray wetting the hair once or Iwice a week with a weak solution of malt water will keep it from falling out. FOR burns, bind on moistened bak Ing soda. It will give prompt and per manenrt relief.
