Cic ilecipc-Book. El The' English Mode of Outing Bacon. Americans visiting England are often struck with tbe'supertority of English bacon over our own, particularly that from, Wilts and York- shire. It is believed that the difference is owing solely to the mode of preparation. We publish the following recipe as furnished by Mr. Browne, of the Agricultural Bureau of the. Patent Office. It is worthy of the attention Our agricultural readers: - "As soon as the bacon comes from-4he butcher's hands it should have a covering 'of salt, dried and rolled to a - fine powder, well Tubbed in with the hand to every part, using the finger-to fill every hole. and joint, as it is most important that the meat should take.the salt when quite fresh. In twelve hours all the brine and damp salt not absorbed should be scraped off the bacon and removed from the vessel, and dry salt added agai n, as much as needed to cover it, as liefore, - and well rubbed in. This process should be repeated. every twelVe, hours for three days, when saltpetre should be added, getting off previously all the damp salt and brine as her - ore; and applying the saltpetre as the common salt, adding a handful of the latter. A quarter of a pound of saltpetre to a side of bacon weighing seventy pounds is sufficient ; then mix one pound of coarse brown sugar, one pound of treacle or molasses, and - pour over the saltpetreon ; the bacon. adding a little more common salt daily for three days, which serves to make the pickle keep well, and the whole liquor should be la dled with a teacup over the bacon as often as convenient, four times a day for the first two weeks after it was first put to the bacon, and then never less than twice' a day for the re mainder of the time needed for its pickling, which is four weeks, or longer if large bacon ; and then it should be sent to the drying house, and smoked over a wood fire." Useful Recipes. Birds-Mst Pie.—Take a deep baking tin, and set as many apples in it as will cover the bottom. Pare them and remove-the core from one end ; make a custard and fill each apple as it is placed in the dish. Then . make a thick Soar batter, pour over the whole and bake one tour. Serve with sour sauce. Boiled Pot-Pie.—Take two quarts of apples, pared, cored, and quartered; put them into a pot or kettle, and sprinkle pn a little sugar, grated nutmeg, and pour in water enotigh_to boil them. Then make a light saleratus crus.t and roll one inch thick, of the size of the ket• tle, and lay ken the apples, boil three-fourths of an bOur. without . cessation. Propar . e the sauce to the same way as for pie_above. Pala& Yeast.—Pare, boil and mash smooth twelve potatoes; stir into these one large cup of sugar and one quirt of boiling water; when cool add one quart of cold water, and half a -pint or less of yeast: keep it in a warm place about twelve hours, when it will be wady for use. Shake it carefully before using; always, reserve a small qttantity of old yeast for rais ing the new. Bread or cakes made with this yeast never need saleratus, and will raise quickly. I trust housekeepers generally will try this. and dispense with the unwholesome article ot saleratus. Soft Gingerbread.--One cup of butter ; two of molasses ; one of milk ; three eggs; one table•spoonfnl of saleratus; beat it well, and bake it in a quick even. To Stop Potato-Rotting. Au experienced agriculturist informs us that about six -years ago he applied slaked lime to potatoes that were partly rotten, and it immediately arrested the decay.--Potatoes that were partly rotten when the lime was ap plied, remained as they were, the progress of the rot being stopped, while potatoes to which the lime was not applied, continued to rot and were lost. Since then. hehas made it a practice to apply slaked lime to his potatoes as be takes them up. He puts a thin layer of lime upon the floor where the potatoes are to be laid, and sprinkles some of it over the po tatoes—about every ten inches, as they are put down. He considers this as perfectly protect ing them from rotting, as he has never had a rotten potato since he has practiced and he believes also that potatoes thus used are ren dered better by the action of lime. We ad vise the tanners to try this plan, as it can early be done by them all. How Inch Should a Cow Eat T Cows to give milk, require more food than most farmers imagine. S. NV. Johnson, writ ing from Munich to the Country Gentleman, gives an interesting report of some experi ments which have been made in ilavaria, from which the ro - llowing is an extract : :"Our trials have confirmed the view that cows to give the greatest possible quantity of milk must daily receive and consume one thirtieth of their live weight in hay, or an equivalent'therefor. If more food be given it goes to the formation of flesh and fat, w t occasioning a corresponding increasw• in the field o€ inilt ; but -if on the-cont „ be furnished, the amount and value of the milli will be greatly diminshed." Oz:rThe inurnal of Health nays: "Ist. A wan out of money can't be happy. 2GI. A titan out of health can't be happy. 3d. A man with out a wife can't he happy.—Therefore, I have COMO 40 the conclusion, that the best way to be happy is to tahe cam of yuur health, keep out of debt, and get a wife." Oz!r.
