CURING HAMS.
Of the many receipts for cooking, pre
serving and curing the various articles of
household use, found floating about in the
newspapers, we always regard those from
the Scientific American as most worthy of
acceptance. We giv# one below, which
will be found serviceable in a few Weeks
tliore, when " killing time" comes on. If
anybody has a better receipt for curing
hams, we shall be pleased to receive it, and
publish it for the good of the public.
Curing Hams. —As the time is at hand
for preparing those useful stores of rich
and savory food, a few words will not be
out of place in regard to them. The legs
of hogs short in the hock, are the best for
hams, and should be chosen in preference
to lanky hogs. They may be salted by im
mersion in a clean pickle containing a lit
tle sugar and saltpetre dissolved, or they
lifted by rubbing ground solar
over them turnin g them
every day; and giving them a good rub
bing. A little sugar and ground black
pepper added to the salt will much improve
the flavor of the meat. It requires about
a month to salt hams by the wet process,
and three weeks by the dry system. At
the end of this period, they should be
hung up a few days to drip, and then they
are ready for smoking. Much depends on
the kind of material used in smoking them
so as to secure a sweet flavor. Whatever
fuel is used for this purpose, one condition
should never be overlooked ; it should be
perfectly dry, or else it will be liable to im- j
part a bitter taste to the meat. Dry corn
cobs, aud some dry sweet hay are superior
to all other agents that we have seen em
ployed for smoking beef and hams. Mut
ton hams may be prepared in the same i
manner as those of pork, and they are ex- !
ceedingly palatable when the meat is good j
and care exercised to smoke them slowly, j
Horse* Stiffened and Hoof-bound. —A j
Ihorse that is driven on a hard road is lia- j
~t>le to get stiffened. I have seen valuable
horses driven on our plank roads a few
days get quite lame. I reasoned to my
;self of the cause, and produced a remedy
which proved effectual. I have since tried
rit on foundered or hoof-bound horses, and
with good results. I made a solution of
salt and water, and applied it three times
a day, by washing the legs and pouring up-j
on the bottom of his feet and holding them j
up a few minutes to let it strike in, and
saw the wonderful effects in a few davs. j
I account for it in this way: Salt will ex
tract moisture from the atmosphere, there
fore keeps the feet moist all the while; it acts ■
nearly like melted grease upon the foot. !
The hoof becomes tough but yet pliable. !
Like a chunk of wood saturated with salt
or brine, it is tough yet moist; and so with j
a horse's foot. And here let me add, the j
habit of rasping the cracked hoof to tough-1
en it is all folly. Apply your brine and
you will effect a cure. Try it and blame
jne if it does not. — Ohio Cultivator.
Land Measure. —Every farmer should ;
have a rod measure, a light, stiff pole, just j
10 1-2 feet long, for measuring land. By ;
a little practice he can learn to step just a !
rod at five steps, which will answer very
well for ordinary farm work. Ascertain
the number of rods in width and length of
a lot you wish to manure, and multiply one j
into the other and divide by 160, and you :
have the number of acres, as 100 square 1
rods make a square acre. If you wish to
lay off 1 acre square, measure 13 rods up
on each side: This lacks 1 rod of full
measure.
Leak my Cow's Teats. —A correspon- ■
dent of the New England Farmer says, dip
the end of the teat in strong alum-water
twice a day, for several days, and the leak
will cease.
A Xice way to Starch Linen. —Dissolve
two ounces refined gum arabic in one pint
boiling water, when it has settled pour off
in a bottle. When you make starch, put
one tablespoonful of this ton pint of starch,
then pass quickly, two or three times
through, a clean spcrui candle end, while
the starch is hot.
Buck WhsAAt Cakes Improved. —Stir half
pint corn meal in a quart of boiling water;
let it boil half an hour, and when cool, add
three pints water or sour milk; a tea cup of
yeaet, and some salt. Stir in Buckwheat
flour to make a thick batter. If sour milk
is used, put in a large teaspoonful of soda.
Bake when light, on hot griddles.
To Make Yeast. —Equal quantities of
corn meal and flour, a little salt. Boil a
quantity of hops, and pour the liquor ou
the meal boiling hot, stirring it well; and
when 0001, add some yeast. When well
fermented, put in a stone jug, and keep in
x cool place. The last will be the beet
when kept a number of weeks, summer or
winter. Before using, pour off the water
-.hat rises, and soak the whole well. When
tv. lecessary, add a little soda.
Good Fritters. —To a pint of good but
termilk, add a little salt and a teaspoonful
of soda; stir in flour enough to make a
thick batter. Fiy them in hot lard.
A Nice Deerx. —Three even teaspoon
fuls of corn starch, three eggs Well beaten,
one cup of sweet cream, sweeten to your
taste. Lemon.
Jumble?. —Two cups sugar, one of but
ter one egg, one wine glass milk.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT
IN
SOCKING STOVES i
Consumption of Smoke k Gas k Sating of Furl!
3PHE subscriber takes pleasure in offering to
L his customers a new Patented Gas-burning
ooking Stove, undoubtedly the best stove made.
It is well known that all inflammable matter
requires a certain amount of air to support com
bustion, and if the supply is insufficient it is
impossible to produce a flame. The heat of
the fire, inordinary cooking stores, decomposes
the fuel, and as all the fresh air is admitted un
der the grate, its oxygen is exhausted before it
has passed through the fire chamber. The close
flues at the top of the store then act as an ex
tinguisher, tending to put out the fire instead of
assisting the combustion. A large portion of
the fuel, therefore, passes ofT in the shape of
smoke, clogging up the flues of the stove so as
to impede the draft and interfere with the ba
king,—or of invisible gas which combines with
the lime and so destroys the mortar of the
chimneys, loosening the bricks, and exposing
the dwellings to the danger of fire.
The introduction of an additional supply of
cold air would cool the gas below the igniting
temperature, but by the proper application
above the fire of air previously heated to a tem-
I perature of several hundred degrees (which is
i one of the prominent features of the patent)
I the gases are inflamed in numerous jets, and
| their combustion is sufficient to heat the oven,
even if the draft through the fire chamber is
entirely closed. In addition to the ordinary di
rect draft under the grate and through the fire
chamber, the gas-burner has an additional draft
through the top plates, which is of itself suffi
cient to maintain combustion. The upper draft
! ot only consumes the gases, but it helps to
, strengthen and preserve the centre pieces which
! are most exposed to the direct action of the
fire, and which are made double instead of the
j usual single plates. By means of this draft
j alone, all the operations of cooking can be car
j ried on when the fuel is but partially ignited,
: and the fuel consequently burns more slowly
and mere economically. A sufficient evidence
! of the effect of the gases in heating the oven is
► found in the fact that the oven will be ready
i for baking even before the fire is thoroughly
kindled, and much sooner than in any other.
There is scarcely a doubt that before long
m l f , "* >urD ' n ß Cooking Stoves will supercede
all others. The operatiou is so perfect and its
consumption of fuel so small in comparison
with other cooking stoves, and its heat so easily
regulated, (burning more or less as desired,)
that every one who uses one of these stoves will
have nothing else. For sale by

WEST'S
Patent Galvanic Cement
OP<s>af SQL <3£> £1 CO
THE undersigned having purchased the
right for this Cement in Mifflin and Cen
tre counties, are now prepared to furnish and
put it on roofing wherever desired—the roof
being sheeted by the owner. Scientific men
under the direction of government, and ar
chitects and builders in various parts of the
country, for years hare been studying and
experimenting to discover some composition
or article for roofing, which would resist the
changes of our climate, aud would unite the
qualities of Imperciousnesa to Water, Incom
bustibility, Durability and Cheapness. No
article now in use possesses these qualities.
Shingles are .not fire proof, aod cannot be used
upon flat roofs. Slate can only be used upon
steep roofs. The contraction, expansion and
rusting of metallic roofs arc so great in this
changeable climate that they soon become
worthless, or the repairs will cost more than
a new roof. The various cements and com
positions which have teen introduced, can be
supplied only to very flat roofs, and they are
all so affected by the action of the weather
that they will null and run in summer and
crack in winter, and in a short time become
crumbly and worthless. The inventor of the
Galvanic Cement has labored twenty years to
obviate these difficulties, ar.d it is believed by
those who have had opportunities to test the
matter, that he has entirely succeeded. As
now applied,
First—lt is completely impervious to water.
Water may continually stand u*Aon the roof
without affeeting it in the least.
Second—lt is fire-proof. It is so incombus
tible that it will afford ample and perfect pro
tection against fire, sparks and burning shin
gles from another building immediately ad
joining. *
Ihird—lt is durable. It is not injured by
atmospheric changes, having been tested for
several years by the Patentee, at Syracuse,
New York.
Fourth—lt is cheap. Hoofs will be put on
for about half the cost of tin, and will last
much longer.
Fifth—Repairs are easily and cheaply made.
Sixth —lt is sufficiently elastic to entirely
resist fhe expansion and contraction by heat
and cold, and will remain perfect and solid in
the warmest and coldest weather.
Seventh—lt is adapted to all kinds of roofs,
either flat or steep.
Kighth—lt is valuable for repairing old
roofs. Old shingle roofs may be covered
without removing the shingles. Old metalic
roofs can be made perfectly tight and secure.
Ninth—lt is especially adapted to all kinds
of seaming around battlements, sky-lights
and chimneys, and for the lining of eare
troughs and gutters. Roofs which have given
trouble for years, and which have continued
to leak in spite of all efforts, can be made
perfectly secure by this cement.
Tenth—lt has been proved to be the beet
article ever used for covering car tops and
steamboat decks.
Eleventh—This cement applied to new tin
roofs preserves them from rusting, by fur
nishing a coat which is ai once impervious to
water and an almost perfect non-conductor of
heat.
Twelfth—lt is the only roofing material
patented- which contains India rubber and
gutta percha.
For particulars of this cement, owners of
propertv will please address

relieve me of the Dyspepsia, which 1 have bad for some
time, and for which it is recommended, and 1 am happy
to say it has quite cured me, and would recommend it to
any one similarly affected Signed,

Dr. J Williams—After suffering from Dyspepsia for a
considerable time and failing to obtain any permanent
relief, I was induced to try your Elixir. 1 must confess
1 had not much confidence at hi st, but in about two weeks
was most agreeably surprised to find I was rapidly im
proving in healtb; I am now much fatter than ever before
and I am in as good if not better health than 1 ever was
in my life. Very truly yours, Ac.,

Dr. James Williams—Having recently understood that
it is \our intention to resume the preparing of your
Anti-lkyspeptic Elixir, and being anxious that others may
be benefitted by its use as 1 have been. 1 herewith send
you for publication, if you think proper, a statement of
the effectual cure produced on me by it. For a number
of years I have been suffering to such an extent that I
became t>> much debilitated, and the digestive powers so
much destroyed, that it was with difficulty I could take
and retain sufficient nourishment to aupporl life. Neith
er myself nor my friends were aware that my suffering
proceeded from indigestion; in the year 1839 my attention
was directed by my husband to your advertisement, at
that time published in some of the city papers, explaining
the causes and symptoms of dyspepsia, and confidently
offering a remedy I immediately procured and Ud
some of your medicine with the most signal suc
cess; from a stale of debility, languor, and nervousness,
and compete loss of the power of digestion, so great that
I could take at first only five drop* of the Elixir at a dose,
I was in a few days much relieved, and by continuing it
a kHojt ||cne 1 have been restored to health, strength,
and vigor, which I still retain. 1 take great pleasure, sir,
in making known the efficacy of your Antl Dyspeptic
Elixir, and sincerely hope it may be the means of induc
ing others to go and be benefitted like myself.
Very respectfully, Ac., HAXNAII STILES.
