There is a growing disposition iu this State to do aw ay with fences. That being the case some facts relative to the working of such a law elsewhere may be of interest. The Farmers' Advocate says that the law in New York State is so entirely satisfac tory that the fanner would not willingly submit to the penalty of having his crops destroyed by what are called road cattle, to put himself to the expense and often great inconvenience of building a barrier of pre scribed strength and stature for the proper fencing out of somebody else’s cattle. He may have no cattle himself, or wish to have his land on the front of his premises cum bered with a fence; but, for the want of a proper herd law to protect him, his crops, or his lawn, or his garden, may be destroyed by a neighbor’s cow, without redress, unless, forsooth, he can prove that he had provided a good legal fence for that neighbor’s cow and used proper precautions to keep her out. But now, seeing how well we do under our present herd law and how much every one is pleased with it, there is not a New York State man who would willingly sub mit to the expense, care and vexation of guarding his premises against road cattle. The way this absurd old practice came to be handed down to us was like this: The first settlers, whether in the woods or on the prairie, would fence around their first clear ing or improvement, but let the stock run at large. This continuing until all the land came under improvement left stock was running at large to be on the public roads, and every farmer was obliged to fence against them to save his crops. It was well known, too, that these road cattle learned to be very shrewd in opening gates or in slyly slipping through gaps, or in jumping fences, to feed on and destroy gar dens and crops. After adopting the new herd law here, a few farmers who would dare to do it, threw open their gates and let Sown their bars and fence gaps, and finding this to be perfectly safe, as there were no cattle or hogs in the streets, they finally, as occasion required,* would remove their street fences altogether, and withal, would be very agreeably sur prised to find that their gardens, crops or premises would all rest much more secure, even thrown open to the roads than they formerly could with the best of fencing. This is coming to be so well understood now throughout the country, towns and cities, that the front and road fences are being removed to a great extent throughout the State. Many costly and good ones are taken away, others that were old and poor are cleared off, and the ground made available for mowing or for crops, and the premises look much the better of it; for, in fact, all fencing that is not needed is only a nuisance that should not be tolerated or allowed to encumber one’s premises. The face of na ture or the landscape looks the better if un obstructed by a fence, and can better take care of itself, too, for any fence is a harbor for foul growths and for vermin, and causes drifts to obstruct travel or smother crops, so much so that for all the fencing needed on the farm, as far as possible I would use portable fences, which could be removed when not needed and either put under shel ter until wante 1 another season or used for fencing another lot in the rotation course. Before adopting our present cattle law it was only a few of the most enterprising farmers that would dress and keep the road sides along the farm front free of foul growths and in good trim, or w#uld have the courage to plant shade trees along the highways, when, after much staking and guarding, they were so liable to be destroyed by these street cattle. But with our pres ent law all this is changed, and for the bet ter, and now many farmers, after first re moving a road fence, extend the field tillage and crops out to the centre of the road or to the wagon tracks, and these, whatever they be, are seldom disturbed in the least, but harvested with the rest; the ground seeded to gr '• and clover to be mowed by machine the ftV-rwing year. Virginia Cured Hams. Mr. M. W. Earley, of Hardwickville, Va., in a letter to ths HotM and Farm, says: There are two things on which we Virginians especially pique ourselves—our blue blood and our home-cured hams. In these two respects we are willing to yield the precedence to none and the world at large acknowledges our excellence in the latter, if not in the former respect, as is proved by the fact tliut the outside demand for Virginia cured hams is so great that Virginians themselves, living in cities, often have great difficulty in procuring thesp deli cacies. Virginia farmers generally allow their hogs to range in the pasture and forest, grazing and feeding on m s.i until the au tumn, when they put the up and feed them on corn six or eight weeks. A hog a year old and weighing about ]SO pounds makes the best meat. If it is older and fatter the meat will not be so delicately favored. The following is an old Virginia recipe for salt ing and curing hams, and the same direc tions will apply to shoulders: First, rub a teaspoonful of powdered salt petre Into each ham to give them a pretty red color; then mix with every four pounds of salt a pound of brown sugar, a pint of molasses and a teacup of ground black pep per. Rub this mixture thoroughly into the hams with something stiff, as for instance, a leather glove or a shoe sole; then pack the hams in a large box with the skin side down ward, and let them remain there four weeks, if the weather be only moderately cold, but six weeks if it be very cold, as in this case the salt will tako longer to strike in. When you take the hams out of the bulk nib them with hickory ashes and pack them away again to remain two weeks longer. Then take them out, hang them in your smoke house and smoke them for about six weeks with a smouldering Are made of green hick ory chips. The fire must never be allowed to blaze nor must the meat be hung too close to it. I may add that it is possible to have very good hams without smoking them. Nowadays most farmers kill hogs on so small a scalo that many of them do not at tempt to have a smoke-house, and they have discovered that they can have very well fla vored meat without one. In regard to the treatment of hams after the smoking process is over there is a differ ence of opinion among housekeepers. Some say pack away the hams in hickory ashes till the following autumn; others say nib t hem thoroughly in March with black pep per, aud that this will protect them equally as well from insects as the hickory ashes. If you pursue the latter plan you can hang them up. Borne persons cover their hams with cotton bags, stiffly starched, to keep off insects. Borne few persons cure their hams in brine to which they aid sugar, mo lasses, saltpetre and black pepper, but I think the dry mode is the best. Many things have to converge in order for us to have ham iu perfection. Not only must the hog be fed on food that will give its meat a delicate flavor, but it must be cured and finally cooked with the utmost care. If all these requisites are combined the ham will indeed be “A dainty dish to set before a King." A ham should be washed, scraped and suuned tlio day liefore you are going to boil it. At night put it in soak and let it remain till morning. If it is medium size let it boil slowly four or five hours. If it is large let it boil about six hours. Always put it on in cold water. Nothing but soup meat ought ever to be put on in hot water, and we make this difference because it is then our object to get the juices out of the meat into the liquid, whereas with a ham the re verse is the case. Do not take the ham out of the boiler after it is done, but let it re main there until cold and you will find its flavor greatly enhanced thereby. The phi losophy of the matter is this: The ham gives out a considerable part of its juices in cook ing, but it will re-absorb them if left until cold in the water in which it was boiled. If you want the ham to look especially nice it is best to skin it, but it will keep its moist ure and flavor better with the skin on. If you skin it grate stale bread crumbs over it or crackers browned before being grated. Crab apple or grape jelly goes nicely with ham. and horse-radish is also a nice condi ment to serve with it. Curled'parsley makes a dish of ham. A good housekeeper of my acquaintance raises a box of curled parsley in her pit in winter so she may have a gar nish for her dishes of ham at that season. Any dish is doubly appetizing when served in an attractive manner. Something About Dairying. The Philadelphia Record, which has about the most interesting agricultural depart ment of any paper in the country, says that the main object of dairying should be to save all that if uot appropriated by the stock for the production of beef, veal, milk or butter, and in order to do this they must use the manure to produce food another year. Thus, under general farming, the dairy and crop-growing are joint occupa tions, the one dependent on the other. There are hundreds of farmers who have gradu ally grown wealthy at dairying, though they really derive but little more from the milk and butter sold than the amount ex pendedjfor food, as property all crops grown and consumed by the stock should be charged to them; but the farmer’s increase of wealth is in the improvement of his farm. If he do not derive large profits from his sales his land will be gradually growing in fertility and its value increasing. This is a feature of dairying that is often overlooked. The manure does not receive that consideration it deserves, but it is equal to a certain amount of expenditure mads upon the farm and always returns more than its equivalent. Where butter is the principal product sold off the farm the loss of fer tilizing matter in the butter is almost noth ing, it consisting mostly of carbon, which is not a valuable element of the soil, and which is supplied to plants by the air. This is to infer, however, that the skim milk is fed to pigs and sold as pork, in which shape it realizes a higher price. When crops are grown and sold off the farm, as is the case in wheat-growing, there is a constant drain of nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid, which must bo annually replaced, or the farm will in a few years be incapable of longer producing such crops; but when food is purchased and fed to the dairy cows it is equivalent to the purchasing of the fertil izers also, as the whole remains on the farm, in the shape of manure, unless sold as milk, beef or veal, the feeding of pigs, however, being an additional occupation. The science of farming consists in combining all occu pations of that character with a view to enriching the farm and gradually increas ing the yield until the fullest capacity be reached. The Peach Orchard. Mr. C. C. L. Dill, of Dillburgh, Ala., in a letter to Home and Farm, speaking with regard to peach orchards, says that land high and rolling is the best fer this fruit, and a hill with one side facing the south, the other the north, and a flat top sufficient for a few row's of trees, is the best location and one that will insure a crop every yea; - . If .the land is fresh or of fair fertility no ma nure will be needed, exceDt under and around the tree, and for this purpose a compost of one part of unleached ashes and three parts of muck, leaf mold, rotten wood or top soil from the woods will be as good as any fer tilizer that I know of, but if the land is poor it should have a coating of well-rotted ma nure. If ashes cannot be obtained, pine straw, which is rich in potash, will answer the purpose if plowed under in sufficient quantity. The plow must run deep and if subsoiled so much the better; and after plowing the soil should be thoroughly pul verized with the harrow and then laid ofl in rows 16 feet each way. By using a twister and turning the furrows out a good place will be left for the tree without using either spade or hoe. The worst place to set a tree is in a hole just large enough to hold the roots with a good deal of crowding and tbo balance of the ground as hard as a brick. The orchard should bo cultivated in a hand crop, say cotton, until it commences to bear, and then sown in rye, on which hogs may run until the rye is in the boot, when it should be turned under and the ground sown in cowpeas. Ono of the best varieties for this purpose is “the little stranger,” a pea that re-seeds itself mid will remain for years, I may say always, unless special pains are taken to exterminate it. Trees should be cut back so as to branch not more than two or three feet from the ground. This has two advantages; low-branching trees shade the ground lletter and prevent plowing too close to them. A peach orchard should be plowed once or twice a year until 10 to 15 years old, when the trees will so shade the ground that no weeds will come up to injure it. A heavy mulching with pine straw will increase the growth of the trees, prevent too early blooming and protect them from the drouth of summer. No Living by Crops Alone. He is not the best farmer, says the New York Tvibune, who realizes the most money from a given number of acres, but ho who, while producing the largest crops possible with the facilities at hand, does not fail to keep everything trim and attractive—the house and grounds in order, fences in good condition (those around the house pointed or whitewashed), the yard covered with turf, dotted with trees and shrubbery; the THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1887. back yard as neat as the front, not a single corner for rubbish; the kitchen garden free from weeds and full of every vegetable in its seasou. In the household everything that tends to the comfort of tho family will lie at hand. At the barn everything can l>e in place; no loose boards and litter about the yard, no holes of dirty water, no imple ments wanting in the weather. A good farmer will be ambitious to have a good road by his premises; even gratis labor will e given to this end. In many places trees can be planted along the way and neatly trimmed hedges take tho place of unsightly zigzag fences. The roadsido will be mowed in proper season, thus destroying weeds and keeping along the border a plot of nice green grass. Thus in everything pertaining to the farm the farmer will not only keep before his mind the profit to be derived, but will often be content with less money in order that the love for the beautiful and good may be cultivated and the highest type of manhood developed by the side of great crops of grain and herds of fine stock. Household. Pumpkin Pie.—One quart stewed pump kins, pressed through a sieve; nino eggs, white and yelks beaten separately; two quarts of milk, ono teaspoonful of mace, ouo of cinnamon and one of nutmeg, one and a half cups of white sugar. Bake all well together and bake in crust without cover. Mashed Parsnips.—Take eight parsnips, scrape, slice lengthwise and put on to boil in hot salted water. They will take a littlo more than an hour to cook. When tender drain and press through a colander. Mash smooth. Put in a clean saucepan with a little butter, pepper and salt. Stir until very hot and then dish. Mince Meat.—Four pounds of beef, boiled, two pounds of apples and one pound of suet chopped fine, two pounds of stoned raisins, two pounds of currants, a quarter of a pound of citron, a teaspoonful each of cloves, cinnamon and mace, a quart of mo lasses and half a pound of brown sugar. Moisten with boiled cider and add brandy if desired, a tablespoonful to each pie. Cold Slaw.—Shred a white cabbage and pour over it the following dressing: Put half a cupful of vinegar on to boil. Beat two eggs till light, add half a cupful of very thick sour milk, and butter the size of a walnut. Add this mixture to the boiling vinegar, stir over the fire till boiling hot, and add salt and pepper. Pour over the cabbage and set it away to get very cold before serving. Doughnuts.—Three cupfuls sugar, five eggs, one cupful butter, one cupful sour milk; one teaspoonful each of nutmeg and cinnamon, one teaspoonful soda dissolved in hot water, flour for soft dough. Cream the butter and sugar: stir in the eggs, whipped light; then the spices, the sour milk and soda, and last the flour. Roll out the dough into a sheet a quarter of an inch thick, cut into fancy shapes and fry in boil ing lard. Oyster Pie.—Line a buttered baking dish with pastry and place in it a layer of fine large oysters. Rub two tablespoonfuls of butter smooth with as much flour and place small bits of it here and there on the oysters. Sprinkle with pepper and salt. Follow this with another layer of oysters, dotted with butter and seasoned as before. Continue this process until the dish is full. Pour in enough oyster liquor to fill the dish to within an inch of the top and cover all with a rich pastry. Bake until a delicate brown, rub or with a little butter or white of egg and serve hot. Farm and Stock Notes. Two hundred and fifty pounds of peaches, most of them exceeding eight inches in cir cumference, were produced by a tree 40 years old at Lanoma, Cal. Wise economy looks after outgoes from the farm—not grudgingly, not with regrets, but rather to see that in their exchange there is good return, that which will im prove conditions. Poultry raising is a business that is espe cially suitable for women. They will attend to the numerous small details which are ne cessary, while but few men are willing to give the time that is requisite. Andrew J. Libby, of Embden, nut into the barn in a single day 40 loads of hay, and In eight and one-half days housed 121 loads. In the entire season he cut 200 loads of good hay, which he figures at about 150 tons. In a late address Hon. E. Burnett said: “To the cow that makes the most butter from a given amount of food belongs the prize. To the practical buttermaker this alone determines the profit and wins suc cess.” Ducks generally commence laying early. They thrive best in flocks of four or five to one drake. As ducks, especially Pekins, lay a large number of eggs in a season, they are very profitable. Water is not necessary for the successful breeding of ducks. Do not forget to blanket the horse when it is in the stable, as well as when it is stand ing in the shafts w aiting for you at the store or post office. It will save feed to do so, besides adding to the good appearance of the coat of the horse and keeping it in good health. Where trees are sent long distances and from any cause appear shriveled or dry, do not despair, for they can often be saved. Do not plant them as soon as unpacked, but bury the tree, root and branch, in moist earth for a few nays, until the wood plumps up naturally. A correspondent of tho Rural New Yorker says that when he practiced letting the first cucumbers which ripened on his vines go to seed he had few cucumbers for table use and few still for pickles. Now he picks every one he sees as soon as they are large enough for pickles, and finds enough escape notice so he always has plenty for thejable. It has been demonstrated that the quan tity of meat produced by sheep delivered to the butcher at the precocious age of from 9 to 15 months costs exactly half the expensd of those fed to double that age. By bring ing the animals early to the block we re duce risks and labor and time, which in this, as in everything else, means money. The utmost care should be exercised to keep the teats in a good sound condition, says a writer. Many a good young cow has been turned into a kicking cow by milking her when her teats were sore. We cannot exiiect a cow will stand quietly while she is being hurt in the process of milking. An uneasy cow at milking time is a good deal like a crying baby—there is a g<*4 tau.se for the demonstration made, as a rule. Popular Science. There is no way to tenii>er brass except by hammering. There is no chemical or heating process for tempering anything but steel. One plank 9 feet wide and 30 feet long, without knot or blemish of any kind, and another 12 feet wide, are among the con tribut ions of British Columbia to the Liver pool Exhibition. There are over 2,600 soldiers if the Rus sian army afflicted with opthalinia in the hospitals of the Odessa district alone. These cases are entirely treated by nurses and have no skilled medical attendance. When the power required and the shaft spool are given, to find the diameter of a shaft multiply the given power by 33,000, divide this product by 600 and the speed, and the cube root of this quotient will be the diameter required. Gleditsctiine, not stenocarplne, as the nanio of the new anaesthetic has been finally determined, ought to lie at once adopted in place of the incorrect term “stenocarpine.” The drug, we learn, is as yet very expen sive and somewhat difficult to got. A newly constructed railroad spike has a double head, or, more pi operly speaking, an elongated portion projecting irom opposite sides of the shank. The under side of one projection is lower than that of the other, the portion which is lower being provided with an edge in the direction of its length, whtqpby the portion may be more easily imbedded in the tie or sleeper, while the other portion of tlie head engages the roil.
