qualified for the position, but from the

rather premature and that it is unfair to

frequently The case will decc, a romarka-
BILE difference. The CuiiraL0r makes
some timely remarks on this subject -
Place a shovel Of Goals in an old pan, or
some low dish, and lay on them few
sugar maple chips, dry ones are best, for
it requires too much fire for green ones.
No other wood will produce such sweet
smoke as sugar maple and the Goals of
il viii keep louger than most kinds Of
wood In the absence of chips, corn cobs
will be found nearly as good. Three or
four laid on a few Goals, will produce
smoke sufficient to fill an ordinary
smoke.houSe. As substitute for a
saoke-houso, molasses hogs-head
covered with boards on the top, and a
hole sawed in the side at the bottom large
enough to admit pan OF Goals with few
cobs or chips, will be found to answer
every purpose. Let those who have been
accustomed to smoking their meet over a
log heap adopt this mode of smoking and
then say which way is the best.
