A CHEAP SMOKE HoUsE. No farmer should
be without good smoke house, and such a
one as will be fire proof and tolerable secure
from thieves. Fifty hams can be smoked at
one time in q smoke house seven by eight
feet square. Nine is six by seven, and is
large enough for most farmers. first dug all
the ground out below where the frost would
reach, and filled it up to the surface with
small stones. On this laid my brick floor,
in lime mortar. The walls are brick, eight
inches thick, and seven feet high, with door
on one side two feet wide. The door should
be made of wood and lined with sheet iron.
For the top put on juists, two by four, set
up edgewise, and eight and half inches from
center to center, covered with brick, and put
on heavy coat of mortar | built small
chimney on the top and in the center, arching
IT over and covering it with single roof in
the usual way. An arch should be built on
the outside, with small iron door to shut it
up, similar to stove door, with hole from
the arch through the wall ofthe smoke house,
and an iron CRATE over It, This arch is much
more convenient and better to put the fire in
than to build fire inside the smoke house,
and the chimney causes "a draft through into
the smoke house. Good corn cobs or hickory
wood are the best materials to make smoke
for hams. The cost of such smoke house,
as above described, is about $50.

Concerning the result Of that election the
Harieye says:
We have already stated that our late CITY
election. turning as il did, almost wholly unon
local issues, had little or no political signif-
cance. An ''Independent Union ticket" SO
called, was elected because about two hun
dred and fifty or three hundred Republicans,
mostly Germans. voted that ticket in pre-
ence to that regularly nominated by the Re-
publican convention. The '.Independent'
candidates were understood to be opposed to
Sunday laws, and in favor Of free or Il
censed traffic in ardent spirits, and that was
the reason for the support they drew from the
Republican ranks. Boiling of course,
