Receipt for Curing Beef and Pork.
At this period in the season, when farmers
and others will soon be putting down their
winter's, and we may add, their next year's
supply of meat, it may be of service to re
publish a good receipt, which is as follows:
To 1 gallon of water.
Take 1| lbs. of salt,
$ " brown sugar,
i ox. saltpetre,
i " potash.
In this ratio the pickle to be increased to
any quantity desired.
Let these be boiled together until all the
dirt from the salt and sugar (which will jiot
be a little) rises to the top and is skimmed
off. Then throw the pickle into a large tub
to cool, and when cold, pour it over your beef
or perk, to remain the usual time, say
from four to six weeks, according to the size
of the pieces, and the kind of meat. The
meat must be well covered with the pickle,
and it should not be put down for at least two
days afler killing, during which time it should
be slightly sprinkled with powdered saltpetre.
Some have omitted the boiling of the pickle,
and found it to answer equally as welL It
will not, however, answer quite so well. By
boiling the pickle, it is purified—for the
amount of dirt which is thrown off by the
operation, from the salt and sugar, would
surprise one not acquainted with the fact.
THE CHINESE SUGAR CANE.
Interesting Experiment and Report. —The
following report on the cultivation of Sorghum
was read at the late meeting of the Lancaster
County Horticultural Society:— Lancaster Ex
aminer.
REPORT os CHINES* SCGAR CASE: At a for
mer meeting of this Society it was resolved,
'* Thai persons who have adopted a few spe
cial and favorite subjects as sources of recre
ation and pleasure, be invited to favor the
Society with statements of their experience."
And it was also resolved, " That this Society
strongly recommend a more extensive culti
vation of the Chinese Sugar Cane."
As this plant was one ef my " special ob
jects of recreation" the present season, I will,
under the above resolves, state my experience
for the benefit of such as have not yet given
it a trial.
It is known to a few of the members that
last winter I took an active part in the dis
semination of the seed, far and wide. I sent j
packages of it to thirty-one States and Terri
tories, being fully convinced that it " was a
boon of inestimable value" to the trMe coun
try . The applications were so numerous that
my own small lot of seed was soon exhausted.
I made application to oar liberal minded
member of CongTess, Ilun. A. E. Roberts, to
procure me a lot from the Patent Office. This
he kindly and cheerfully did for me twice, j
and I thus publicly acknowledge to him mv
thanks for the favor to me, and the many re- !
cipients accommodated through hie kindness. !
Owing to the many applications for the
seed, 1 had but a very siaail quantity on hand
(less than a pint) when planting time came
ea. This I planted on about one fourth of
an acre of ground, very thin of course, and
on ground which bad been in potatoes for
three years previous in succession, and with
out manure of any kind applied during ths
three years, or for the sugar cane. After the
cane was up I had about half a bushel of
super-phosphate sprinkled along the rows,
without, however, much apparent Ulnefit. The
plot of ground was filled with the seeds of
weeds to such an extent that the young cane
was very much smothered, and we had great
difficulty in saving a part of it. After much
hoeiag and hard pulling, more than half the
cane plants were destroyed. They made a
very feeble growth at first, and so thin aud
irregular that I almost despaired of producing
anything worth attending to.
The plants being so thin and irregular, "we
left all grow that would," of the cane. Ow
ing to the thin stand, most of the plants
"tillered," throwing up from one to five off
shoots or suckers; these grew as tali a# the
main stalks, so that there was at last a pretty
fair stand of plants. The suckers, however,
were late, and did net ripen the seed, and the
season being late, the danger of frost admon
ished us to commence catting and crashing.
Net knowing of any crusher made for the
purpose, I had one made according to several
plana recommended in the agricultural pub
lications, with three cast iron cylinders, 12
inches long by 3 inches in diameter; this was
attached to a hera*-power threshing machine
with a strap, but would not work. I then
had it geared with a cog wheel, and* in this
way, with one or two horses, did good work.
In the fore part of the day we would cut
and crush the cane—extract from 40 to 50
gallons—boil down in common eopper kettles
in the after part of the day, t from 7 to 8
gallons of thick syrup, such as will pass any
where as Xo. 1 molasses. The patch of one
fourth of an acre produced about 70 gallons
of very superior syrup, and probably four or
five bushels of ripe seed. Full three fourths
of the seed being unripe it was not saved.
From this small experiment I conclude that
300 gallons of syrup, and 40 to 50 bushels of
seed w the acre, is a fair average. I would
further say to those who may plant it next
year as a first experiment:— Seed being plen
ty, plant thick in the rows, as early as the
ground is in suitable condition, say about the
first of May; the rows -same distance apart as
Indian corn, and worked in the same manner
—thin out to six or eight inches in the rows,
and remove the suckers; it will then all ripen
at the same time, and sufficiently early to
have it oat ef the way before hard frosts
make their appearance. It is a more sure
crop than Indian corn, as ne drouth affects it.
Oar summers are sufficiently long to mature
it in all seasons, and it is of mere value t the
country than any plant that has been intro
duced, probably for a century. All of which
is respectfully submitted.

Attachment of f 'ulcanizt'd India Rubber
Spring to the Tubes oj Grain Drills.
ffUIE undersigned, having perfected an arrangement for
-L the attachment of a Gum Spring to the Tube* and

and all others interested in the growing of Wheat and
other grains, that he is ptepared to furnish GRAIN
DRILLS, with the shove article attached, at the shortest
notice, at his Foundry, in MeVeytown, Pa. Seeders have
become an almost indispensable article to the Farmer,
and h>- will find that the attachment of the Coin Spring
will enhance its value at least one half. AM the deten
tieo and trouble caused by the breaking of wooden pins
is entirely done away with by this arrangement, and a
man, or boy,can perform nearly doable the labor ibal be
could under Uie old plan, with much greater ease, both to'
himself and horses. There need be no fear of the Spring
breaking, for if there is an article that will neither break,
rot, or wear out, the Gum Spring is that article, and 1
haaard nothing in saying that isy Grain Drill Ss the sim
plest in construction, most economical m performance,
and therefore the most durable ever offefed to the Tgri
cuitural public. The feed is so arranged that it will sow
'l4. H, li, and a bushels per acre. Persons desiring
ooe for the coming seeding are requested to Send in their
orders as early as possible. Direct to McVeytown, Mif
