0[O r f c ti 11 up ajl^^ o I tt m u. To MAKE SAUSAGES.—A common tank

is, that the meat is not chopped enough.—

It should he chopped very fine, ami that is

most easily don« if it is a little frozen.—

When it is ready for the seasoning, put in it

just; cold water enough to enable you to

mixMhe ingredients equally; but be careful

not to use mote than is necessary for this

purpose.

The following is an excellent rule for sea­

soning fausages:

To fifty pounds of sausage meat, put a

pint of tine salt, half a pint of ground pep­

per, and a heaping pint of powdered sa»e.

The measures should Le exact.

Seine persona find it most convenient to

keep sausage meat in a cloth. Jt is done

by making a long bag of strong cotton

cloth, of such a siza that, when filled, it will

be as large round as a common half pint

mug. It should be crowded full, and each

end tied up. If you have not a sausage-filler, it can

be filled with the hand. When the meat

ie to bo used, open one end, rip up the seam

a little way, and cut off slices rather more

than an inch thick, and fry them. It ma\

be kept good from December to March, in

ft cool, dry place.

WORTH KNOWING.—-One pound of green

•opperas (cost seven cents) dissolved in one

quart of water and poured down a privy,

will effectually concentrate and destroy the

foulest smells. For water closets on board

•hips and steamboats, about hotels and oth­

er places, there is nothing so nice to cleanse

and purify thoso places, as simple green

copperas dissolved, for sick rooms it, may

be placed under the bed in any thing which

will hold water, and thus render a hospital

or other places of the sick, free from un­

pleasant smells. For butcher's stalls, fish

markets, slaughter houses, sinks and wher­

ever there are putrid and offensive gases,

dissolve copperas and sprinkle it about, and

in a few days the bad smell will pass away.

If a cat, rat, or mouse, dies about the house

and sends forth an offensive gas, place some

dissolved copperas in a cup or jar, any­

where within "smelling distance," and the

cure is sure. I have known a stock of dry

goods which were nearly spoiled by a skunk

under a store, to be cleaned and restored

•imply by sprinkling dissolved copperas

•bout the floor. —Sakm Gazette.

CUT FODDER vs. UNCUT.

MB. EDITOR:—I have deemed it not out

of place to communicate to you my expe­

rience in regard to fodder. I was " born

and bred" a farmer, in Windsor county,

Vt , where they school their boys, ami

teach them the " way they should go."

J was there early taught, in a practical

manner, that " a penny saved is as good as

two:pdnce earned." y •.,.. „ I ha/e resided in Adrain, Lenawea coun

ty, Michigan, during the past twenty-five

jears, audrhjive been engaged in farming

«nd the manufacture of brick, and have

-*-•—,,.-..constantly kept a number of teams on

*r-" " liaudj and have been compelled to purchase

f. A large proportion of provender for them.

I learn, by experience, that I can save fully

one-third of the hay and grain by cutting

tlufhay and grinding the grain, ami mix­

ing them together before feeding. 1

-Jfampen the hay-stalks, say an hour or two

before feeding; then I put on the ground

J l just before feeding. Howttjfyd cat­

tle will masticate this mixture readily, and

it ie certainly more easily digested than if

fed entire. Thro is a proper length to

which straw or hay should be cut; but

V£\ eornstalks cannot be cut too short. About

M] inch is as short as hay or straw should

be cut^im] for the following reasons, as J

have learned from experience:^

. If cut shorter than »ibout-au,inch, ifogjfe •

liable to "tip up" in the animal's in'otT* , '

and irritate, if not injure the gums; and.

sometimes they eat with a ravenous apno-

tiif, and swallow without sufficient m.-.ati-

«ftion, which causes irritation, if not inflam­

mation of tho stomach; but when cut

about an inch in length, these mischiefs

never follow.

I have observed that if coarse clover is

cut and dampened, the horses and sheep

eat it readily; but much more so, if a little

ground grain is mixed with it; and the

•ame observation holds good with regard

to corn-stalks; they should be cut into

lengths of about half an inch, and then

moistened at least half a day before feeding,

in order to have the outer coat well soften­

ed. Horses fed on these cornstalks will

rot be afflicted with the heaves, and if they

have them, the stalks will cure them.—

Ohio Farmer.

To PREVENT CABBAGES FKOM GROWING ?o LONG STALKS.—To secure true, solid heads of cabbage on those stalks which manifest a disposition to grow to what are eomtnoniv known as long stalks, take a pen knife and stab it through the stalk about the middle; insert a small piece of wood to keep the incision open, which will check the growth. By doing this good heads of eabbage may bo secured on every stalk.— Genesee Farmer.
