■tilling Time i'or Hog**
m;d Keel!
The fnliieci of killing domertic
animals for food comes directly
home lo every fanner and farmer's
wife in the country. Slaughtering
is not so pleasant to the farmer as
the preliminary labors of breeding,
raising, and fattening, neither are
the labors it imposes upon the good
wile so agreeable as preparing the
fat spare-ribs and sirloin r, ting
pieces for the table, yet both are
equally necessary.
it is very desirable to have cold
weather for the operation, and ail
our cold day! aro very likely to j
come in threes or fours, tkoro acl- i
dom being more than four consecu*
tive very cold days and usually
but three, it is best to be ready,
and tuio the lirst clear cold day
for the work, and trust to the two
following to freeze what meat is to
be kept freak' In regard to pork,
that is alinos.' all to bo salted or
smoked, this is not very important,
yet it is much more convenient and
pleasant to handle meat that is firm
and cold than that which is flabby.
The most convenient way for a
farmer to handle heavy hogs in
slaughtering is to have a block and
tackle to swing the hog by while
bleeding, the rope being made fast
to one hind leg below the hock,
jty the same tackle he is lifted and
lowered into the tub of hot w ater
in scalding for the removal oft.. 0
bristles. TLo dressing table should
be level with the tub, and as soon
as on.o hog is scalded and lifted out
upon the tabic, the rope may bo at
tached to another. I t will not bo
necessary to use the tackle to lift
the hogs out of tho tub, for this
may be done easily if two ropes,
held apart by threo or four rungs,
like a piece of rope ladder, aud
fastened to the table, and lie in
and across the tub, so that the hop
will lie upon them, taking hold of
the end,i of tho rope two men can
lift and roll out a heavy hog easily.
In cutting up beef, it is impor
tant to remember that tho object is
not simply to get it all into small
pieces, but to have the pieces of
such shape, and so cut with rela
tion to tie bones, that the meat
will cook to the best advantage,
cut up well, appear well on the
table, and more than all, bo most
palatable ami nutritions. All this
depc-ndp much upon the cutting up
of the carcass.
There are many approved
ways of doing this, and we cannot
now discuss them' but may giro
two general hints, which, if follow
ed, will no satisfactory to everys
body. Fust, cut sc that the pieces
when brought to the table, may bo
cut across the fibre, ns squarely ns
posssible. Second, so divide the
carcass that each part shall have
its due proportion of bouc. This
is difficult indeed, for the shins and
knuckles will have much bone and
little meat, tho end of tho ribs too,
and the piece including the great
bones of tho hip and pelvis will bo
disprnpotionatcly bony, and pieces
cut from the leg for smoked beef
and salting may properly be quite
free from bone- neverless, retail
butchers know they must ever try
to make a fair division of the bene
among their customers, and tiro re
sult is much more satisfactorily
shaped pieces than if this princi
ple were not heeded.
The Cow.—The milch cow is, so
to speak a highly artificial animal; j
she is to a great extent, what her
breed and kcept r make hor. In a
state of nature the cow gives only
sutiiek'nt uidk to no wish her off
spring : in the sfhll. and barnyard
of a good dairj man she yields it
all the year through and in
extreme cases, in quantities almost
exceeding belief,
More attention should be bestow
ed upon the milch cow with us than
upon stock intended for tho yoke
or shambles. On the rich diluvial
pastures of the w est beef is &
prime object—with us, milk.—
Milch cows may bo indefinitely
improved by proper care and feed
ing. ,£*l
Good milk is a most important
article—it is a venison to child-'
hood ; while bad milk is fatal as
the sword of Herod. Its ingredi
ents are water, butter, sugar, case
ous matter,and various salts- '1 he
butyracoous matter given it rich
ness , the casino, strength, the 811s
gar, sweetness ; and the water
makes it au agreeable driuk. Ah
together it is both a delicious food
and drink, when distilled from the
lacteal glands of a high blooded,
well kept cow.
Milk "drawn fromthe cow in the
morning is thought to be of better
quality than that of the evening,
and a remarkable difference is per-
feeived in the propoi tion of cret
in the first and last portion of
milking, the latter containing
twice as much cream as tho same
quantity of the former.

Feeding Turnips to Cows. —
‘Young Dairyman’ enquires if but
ter made from cc ws fed on tui-j
nips will be unsaleable ? Yes,
but it, is easily prevented. Take
(our ounces of saltpetro, dissolved
in one quart of water, and put a
smali tablespoonful in each pan be
fore straining the milk, and you
may feed turnips in auy quantity
or manner, nnd no epicure can de
tect the taste of turnip in the but
ter, I have tseted this s-j thorough
llv that I have not a doubt of its
|entire efficacy. — A. Lowell—ldu

DAILY MH\ ERA.
SUBCRIPTION REDUCED!
A Live People's Paper
AT A LOW I’RICE,
VETER matsiro and deliberate refle tion it
has been determined to again reduce tho
subset ip:ion price >f the Daily New Era. We
hare futly satisfied our elves that this can be
done with the most beneficial results to all eon
cernod, merchants, people and publisher. Light
must be diffused, intelligence must be dissemi
noted, and the medium through which this is to
he aeroinpiished is the newspaper press; nod to
stimulate the people to read, the price must bo
reduced to the lowest possible point. To place
tho Dally Era within their reach the price has
been reduced to
FIVE DOLLARS PER ANNUM,
piyahle in advance, or FIFTY CENTS per
month for a shorter time,
This makes the Era the cheapest Daily paper
in the couth, if not in the country, and if care
ful, untiring attention and industry auail any
thing it shill be one ol the best. We must
have, and are determined to havo, a large cir
eolation, if a large, live, reliable and well-filled
handsome paper, at a low price will secure it.
We intend the Era shall be second to no paper
South of the Potomae in point of circulation,
I readable, reliable matter, and as an advertising
medium.
Let the people send in their names and mo
ney, and let the merchants make a note of our
determination. The Era is emphatically the
PEOPLE'S PAPER. As fcc • asiness season
has nw fairly opened f C, -it uercial feature
will be restored; while i -monts have been
completed with a wel'-\n >wn gentleman of re
cognised ability to take charge of the Local Je
partment,
THE WELaLY NEW ERA
Is a large and handsomely printed sheet brim
ful of tho choicest miscellaneous reading mat
ter, a large amount of political and commercial
informatiou, and the latest news, and is furnish
ed at tho very tow price of TWO dollars per
