Yet. luoking nl the very large : proportion of the papulation embraced iu ' hie pursuit, and the important influence i exercised by il over all ear public affairs, it is a subject of common remars, even by egricultunete them-eltres, that their ( octal intercourse sbonld be ao much restricted.

Little clubs omoog the farmers of a neighborhood, to meet once a week, to discuss or talk over the innumerable eub. connected with the intelligent proserulioo ol thoir noble profession, produce a decidedly fraternizing sod socialising effect. While thBse local associations shunld^iut be loo formal and reatricted, they should havo an official organization, as batter calculated lo cense punctuality at the meeliogt, aa trull aa to add to their On these occasions the wit's and daughters of families should always aetheir husbands* fathers or brothers — not to part impale of course in the proceedings that may take plnce. bet to iucreeee the agreeabilUy of the meet- . ings. and to share in the p|ee»ura of those delightful interchanges of good neighborIndeed, il the tratli must be apokeo —and we are ready to do It open all oc- . casinos, especially upoo aoch a one a# this — there is v ry little social enjoyment iu the world which is not refined sad made doubly enjoyable by tbe presence of woKilling Time for Huge and Reef. The subject of killing domestic animals for rood cornea directly home lo every farmer and farmer's wife io the country.

It Is vary desirable to have cold weather lor the operation. *h, I as oar cold days are ve.y likely te come in threea or fours, there seldom being morn than four eonra- , three, it ie best to he ready, and tskn tbn • first clear coin day for tbe work, aud treat i i th* twa following to Iraeze what meat to be kept frerb. Io regard lo pork, ihat is almost all lo he salt-d or smoked, thie it sol very important, yot it is mack more convenient nod pleasant to handle meat that is firm and cold than that which is flabby. Toe moat convenient way for a farmer handle heavy hogs in slaughtering is to a block and tackle to swing the hog i white bleeding, the rope being made fast to one bind leg below the bock, lty ihe same tackle he it lifted and lowered into the tub of hot water in scalding for the removal of the bristles. The dressing table ehoald be level with the tnb, ood as aa one bog is scalded aod liltod oot upon the labia, tho rope may bo attached j another. It will not he necefrary to the tackle to lift th# hog# out of the tub, for this may be done easily if two topes, held apart by three or four reegs, a piece of rope-ladder, are fastened : to the table, aau lie in and across tbe tub, | so that tbe hog will lie upon tbem ; taking I hold of the ends of the topaz two men cau i lift and roll cut a heavy bog easily. In colling up beef, it is important to • remember that tho object is not simply to get it all ioto small piece., bat to have I tbe pieces of soch shape, aad eo cat with relation to tbe bono, that tbe meet will cook tu the best advantage, cat op well, 1 appear well oo the table, and mure tbsa | ail, be mast palatable and nntritioua. All this depends much upuo Ihe catting op or ' the carcass. There are many approved ways of doing this, aad we cannot no# disco's tbem, but may give two geua'al hints, which, if followed, will be 'aiiefaotery to everybody. Firet, cet so Ihat the piece,, when brought io tba table, may be eel acrote the fibre. as sqanrely ss possible. Second, to Civiue the carcass that each part shall have ita one proportion of bone.

Why Potatoes should be Pared Tbla.
