Why Uncooked Meat Spoils.
For some hours after an animal is
killed the muscular fibers are soft, and
coase vital ;uenily tender: it is only after all
heat has passed away that the t’esh
becomes hard from the gradual stiffen
ing of condition its muscular portions. Once that
tense of the tissue is estab
lished it remains until the relaxation sets
in which precedes deimposition; with
this relaxation the flesh softens; and it
becomes tenderer as it progresses until
the moat is upon the verg® of putrefac
tion. Until the meat taints it is suitable
for food. When meat is upon the verge
of putrefaction the colot becomes very
dark, the odor gradually and Offensive, and
the fibers moist toft ; as putrefaction
advances a peculiar greenish, damp mould
forms upon the exposed surfaces,.and
the odor grows intolerable lie it
and moisturs favor this destruc
tion of animal * tissue, which
is
commonly called tainting. In damp
summer weather meat which has been
preserved by the agency of ice spoils
quickly after it is exposed to normal
summer temperature, probably because
this generally combines heat and moist
ure. When freshly killed meat is sub
jected to a dry summer heat it is rapidly
converted into the well-known “jerked
beef” of the plains; this method of
preservation is as widely known as it is
primitive Meat dried by the action of
sun and .air, after being cut in strips, is
subseqeutlv fat in the powdered and mixed with
form of pemmican. Hunters
an 1 explorers prefer this preservation
of meat to any other because it yields
the greatest amount of nourishment in
relation to bulk. The preparation of
pemmican is quite within poisibil ties
for honsholders who are removed from
trade centers, when they do not wish to
salt meat.— Housewife.

THE MILL POND.
Here once the green-edged mill pond spread
Its mirror to the light of day,
And here I came when I was yonn®
To while the truant hours away.
Here golden sunfish, silvery roach,
I landed proudly on the bank,
And once—ah, what a thrill it gavel
A pickerel, long and lank.
The pond to-day is filled with ooze;
The dam is broken, fish are gone;
The mill wheel rotten—nevertheless,
The stream runs merrily on.
At times upon the bank I lay,
Beneath a spreading beechen tree,'
And watched the shadows come and g»
O’er what was quite a lake to me.
I listened to the noisy mill,
And heard the merry voices sound,
Fi-om where in groups the farmer boys
Waited till grist was ground.
The mill is roofless now and still,
The beechen tree I saw has gone,
The boys are men perhaps, and still
The stream runs merrily on.
Tis sixty years since I was here,
A careless barefoot boy of ten;
Today, in spite of silver locks,
t seem to be a boy again.
I Tear the clack, I see the wheel
From which the water gayly falls;
Bat waken from my midday dream
'Then yonder hoarse-voiced bittern calls.
Fades out the picture of the past,
By memory on the vision drawn;
The past is dead; but nevertheless,
The stream runs merrily on.
