AttglOl Ul.HAl ■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.
