A I U In unit Easy Way of Cnrl Harm.
The principle thing 'n cnrinj bams is
to set them iust salt enough to keep
them ami not Salt aj to injure the
flavor and causa them to ir-.: barJ.
llams should be neatly trimmed and cut
routding, to Inmate as Ciosa a po3stDi6
the hams o commerce.
Trim closelv. so there shall be no ma9
bps of f;t le.'L at the lower extremitr of
the hams. The shoulders should be cut
in shape convenient for packing, and
they should be salted in separate pack
tnres from the hams.
Hams are curd by both dry salting
and brine. "When dry salting is employ
ed the hams are rubbed often with salt
and sugar. Between each rubbing they
are bunched up on platforms or tables,
the surface of which is spread with a
layr of salt, and each ham is also cov
ered with salt. Wli'.n taken up to rub,
which is usually done five or six times,
a shallow box is at h&Dd In which to do
the work.
When brine is used prepare the pickle
strong enough to float an egg and stir
Into it a sufficient amount of sugar aud
molasses to give it a sweetened taste.
Some add a little saltpetre to color the
meat,wbile others claim that it tends to
harden the meat. Ia moderate quanti
ties it is generally accepted as beneficial.
Coyer the hams with pickle and place
the packages where the temperature is
uniform and above freezing. For Lams
of twelve pounds four weeks will be suf
icieut ; large hams must remain in the
brine a longer tiaie. In general, from
three to sevan weeks embraces the ex
treme of the time required for domestic
caring of hams, varying as to size of the
bams, lemperatu"e, and time when they
wll be r . juired for use. When it Is de
signed to keep hams through the sum
mer, they must not be removed from the
brine too f.wn.
bhoalders require much the same
treatment as haras, and both should be
ct.reful'v Buiokfcd. The preservative
principle of smoke Is kni.wn aserosote.
Hinoke made by burning corncobs is re
commended, but those engaged in cur
ir g meat u a h-.rge seale prefer smoke
obtainM from dry hickory that has been
b'., ipid of its bark. The sm-iking pro
d's niast not le too much hurried or
the creosote wiU not have time to pene
trate the entire substance c f the meat.
Ten days smoking are usually t-ulfictant
unless the pitces are very large ami very
thick.
A procest In ham curing practiced by
some of the leading packing houses con
sists in creating the smoke iQ an oven
outside of the .'moke hous, and passea
through underground pipes into it. The
smoke, rising from the floor to the top
of the house, encounters two opposite
currents of air drawn from the outside.
The currents caus the smoko to form
Into a rapidly revolving horizontal col
umn which passes among the Iihi.js. The
smoke is not w;um to heat the hams or
tot air to blacken them. The hams un
der this process are smoked in very mucb
less time than by ti e old method.
While canvassing Lams has nothing
to do with their flavor, it is a pre-tection
from insects, and will pay tin farmer
for the extra labor. Wrap each ham in
coarse brown paper and then sew it up
In cotton cloth cut to suit the size, fol
lowing the shape of the ham. When
covered as described dip them in a wash
made of lime water aud colored with
yellow ocher. Hang i:p in a cool place
to dry. The wah closes the interstices
of the muslin, and the whole forms a
perfect protection against insects. The
room iu which any kind of cured meat
is stored should be dry and cool and the
darker the better.
A Double Boy. M. Taul Bert has
lately sent the editor of La yature from
Geneva, two photographs of a human
monster exhibited there, living, aged 5
years, having been bora in Turin in '77.
It has two heads, four arms, and two
chests, but one abdomen and one pelvis,
and two legs, that is, it is double above
the middle of the body. The fusion of
the two bodies begins at the sixth rib,
From due examination and what has
been observed in previous monsters of
the kind (they were named Xiphodvme
by Isadore Geoffrey, St. Ilelair) it may
be affirmed that there are four lungs,
two hearts and two stomachs ; the small
Intestine is double at its commencement
but In greater part s'ngle. There are
really two individuals. The right leg
obeys only the right individual, who
alone feels pinching on it ; and similarly
with the left. The sensibilities of each
half of the bodies is in exclusive rapport
with the head of the same side. The two
individuals were baptized doubly under
the names of Jean and Jacques. They
are equally developed from physical
point of view (excepting a slight club
foot on Jacques' leg) and intellectually
they are much, alike. Their

tha case of ether double monsters, that
cne may have au inflammatory fever,
while tho other continued well ; but the
like would not occur with infectious de
sease or poisoning. Several cases of
there Xiphnd ine monsters have been re
coided
in history ; but very few have
lived.
Keepihc Eggs Fresh. A farmer's
wife gives this simple plain for keeping
eggs frefeh : I saw a very good arrange
ment for ket-plng eggs fresh, at a
friend's house, a short time since, and
It was so simple and practicable that it
ought to be generally known. It was a
Bet of shelves two feet long and eight
inches wide. There were four of them,
with a space cf five inches between the
shelves. They were made of hard wood
towards, planed, and rouud holes bored
with au inch auger ran the whole length
three row3 of holes on each shelf, and
twelve in each row ; one shelf would
hold three dozen eeg3. The tgs were
set in with the small end down, so that
the yolk could not se,ttl against the
Bhell. The lady said Rhe had kept eggs
elx months in this manner, perfectly
sweet; also, that the free circulation of
air aronnd them was very importaut
and theie was no danger of cracking
the shell ami I noted it in my mind as
a thing well worth remembering.
A Discovery. A new way of dress
ing wounds, which was discovered by
accident, has been introduced in the
clinic of Frof. Esmarc at Kiel by Dr.
Jfeuberg. Two years ngo there appear
ed at the clinic a laborer who had sus
tained a compound fracture of the fore
arm eight or ten days before, with con
siderable laceration. He had got a
comrade to surround the whole forearm
at once with a thick paste of peat mould,
on which was laid a rough splint of
wood. AYhen came to the clinic he
was In good general health, and on clear
ing off the mould the Doctor found the
wound to be heiling beautifully, with
out any sign of suppuration. Dr. 2seu
Lerg was led by this experience to inves
tigate the propeities of peat mould, and
his conclusion is that it is peculiarly
valuable for dressing wounds, chiefly
because of its great power of absorbing
the products of decomposition.

SEER C0RJ i WARSIStf.
In the spring of 1879 the farmers orer
a large portion of the com belt found It
extremely difficult to gft a stand of corn
owinp; to lack of vitality in the seed ;
and after the first, and in many casea
the second planting had failed to come,
resource was had to corn of T77. which
was found to be uninjured ; and those
who were ao fortunate as to have old
corn on hand were able to sell out at
fancy prices, the farmers going ten and
twenty miles to get seed from a crib of
good old corn, and paying for it from
two dollars or more per bushel.
In 1881 the same state of affairs exist
ed ; and as these seasons followed two
winters or exceptional severitv, the the
ory became generally aerppted that the
loss of vitality was caused by the occur-
leuce 01 extreme cold before the corn
naa tecome fully dried out. In the lat
ter season especially, this low tempera
ture ocenred so early iu the 9eason that
corn which had been saved expressly for
seed, being husfced early and thrown In
thin layers in dry lofts, w.is nevertheless
so injured that but a small per cent, of
it would grow.
This fall the corn crop is unusually
late, owing to the unfavorable weather
of the spring, and should we have such
an eaily setting in of winter as we wit
nessed two years ago, there can be no
doubt, that much of it will be caught be
fore it is fully matured. Moreove,
judging from the experience of the past
few years, we may reasonably expect
early and severe cold during the coming
winter. Should the experience of 1879
and 1881 l e repeated next season the
amount of loss entailed will be greater
than it was then, because then, in both
cases, we bad comparatively eood crops
to fall back on, while in this can the
present high prices have undoubtedly
drawn nearly the whole of the small
crop of 1881 into the market.
In view of these facts we would nrge
upon our farmer readers to select their
seed corn early in the season, and then
not to depend npon curing it in the or
dinary way, but either to hang it in the
smoke house or kitchen, and subject it
to artificial heat, or to place it in some
part of the house where it may be pro
tected from extreme cold. In doing so,
it must also be borne in mind that too
great a degree of moist heat is as dan
gerous as cold, since if the corn is allow
ed to mould its vitality will be destroy

A Protection from Rabbits. A
correspondent of the Gardeners' Monthly
says : A few years ago I was greatly an
noyed with rabbits barking my young
apple trees. To prevent their depreda
tions 1 made ropes of hay. These I
wound around the trunks of the trees
from the roots to the first limbs in the
fall. I left them on all the following
summer, and when I removed them in
the fall 1 found the bark fresh and heal
thy and free from blotches. I repeated
the operation for some years, and in
consequence have healthy, vigorous
trees, free from fungus and all disease,
and yeilding an abundance of fruit.
The process is not only good for protect
ing the trees from rabbits, but also to
protect tho bark from the cold winds of
winter and the hot sun in summer.

its work put in the entire ox, reserving
the tail for soup. The ox gall is com

Australian Cure tor Difhthb
RrA. A correspondent of the Cleveland
Leader furnishes the following : As
this dread disease is very prevalent as
well as fatal in Cleveland, it may do
some good, and perhaps save a life or
two by publishing the fact that a few
years ago, in view of the fatal scourges
of diphtheria in Australia, the govern
ment offered a reward of ?2.",000 for any
certain method of cure. Among other
responses was that of Dr. Greathead,
which it is asserted, when the case has
not advanced to a nearly fatal termina
tion, cures the patient In almost every
instance. It is simply four drops of
of sulphuric acid in three quarters of a
tumbler of water, for an adult, taken at
intervals not stated. Less for a child.
The result is said to be coagulation of
the diphtheric membrane and its ready
removal by vomiting and coughing.
This remedy is simple enough and cer
tainlv worth a trial where ether reme
dies fail.
