smoking Meat.

Not little has been written on the subject Of
preparing meat, In the best possible manner for
domestic purposes, previous 70 placing it in the
smoke house; but little or nothing has been
said of the manner OF smoking it. To appear
ance, 1t has been taken for granted, that this
process, $50 important In itself, and that 1t be
done with carey could be performed by any one,
who knows enough 10 build fire. Those, whe
have eaten bacon smoked as it should be, and
afterwards partaken OF that which has been
seorched, heat, burned to crust on the out
side, as is too frequetly the case with the most
Of people, will detect remarkable difference;
and ofsen denounce the latter kind as fit for
nothing but soap grease. The process ofsmoK-
Ing meat should never be left with those VINO
have not a faculty of exercising proper care
and judgment In this business. II is not nee
essary that the smoke be driven IN, by heating
the smoke house like NebuchadneZzar's furn-
ace. seven times hotter than it ght to be heat
ed; a smoke, sufficient to FILL the space occupied
by the meat, is the great desideratum. Log
heaps. backs. logs and fore-sticks should be
dispe nsed with, because after they ger once on
fire, there will be too great degree of heat.
And besides this, in wooden smoke houses,
there is great danger of setting every thing on
Hire. Such instances have known to occur:
and loss Of the meat was the consequence.
The best, most effectual. cheapest and neatest
manner If smoking meat that has ever come
uhGer my observation is, to a shovel of live
Goals in pan, or some low DISH and lay on
them few sugars maple chips. Dry ones are
the best, for IL requires too much fire to use
green ones No ether wood will produce so
ssNtet smoke dS sugar uidple. anu tii1 Goals u
it will keep alive as long, or longer, than the
coaisof other wood. In the absence of chips we
use corn eobs, which are nearly good as chips.
Three or four laid on few Goals will produce
smoke sufficient to fill any ordinary smoke
house
As substitute for q smoke house, we have
been accustomed to use a nlolasses hogshead,
covered with board on the top, and sawed in
the side near the bottom, large enough to admit
a small pan OF Goals, with q cob or two, a
few sm all chips. Thus we void all danger of
setting fire to the smoke house and consuming
meat and all; and our meat is not "half baked'
but presents a clean, copper colored appear
aDce.
Let those, who have been accustomed to
smoke their meat over a log heap, adopt the
mode of smoking it gently; and then say which
WAY is the best -rGEtiudtor
