Smoking Hams.

In the first place, hams should be
placed so far from the fire that the smoke
will be absolutely cool before it reaches
them. Then they should be hung in a
room open to the atmosphere, not tight
like a barrel, and should not be smoked
rapidly as they would be IN a barrel, IN
til nearly black on the outside. A mod
crate smoke made twice as many days as
a ham weighs pounds, will make good,
sweet smoked meat. Never commence
smoking until your hams have hung long
enough after being taken out of the pick
le to be thoroughly dried. The English
dry their hams and use them without
smoking. They are far preferable that
way to hams smoked as recommended
above, in a barrel or any similar contri-
vance.
Many persons have spare rooms about
their buildings, sometimes in the garrett
of a dwelling, in which hams can be
smoked, by making a fire outdoors, or in
S stove, and conducting the smoke thro'
a long pipe. We have seen a very nice
smoke house where the fire was built IF
ty or sixty feet from the building, in a
little oven dug in the ground, the smoke
being conducted through a covered
trench up a hillside to the base of the
building, and then throug a wooden pipe
to the garrett, whers the meat was hung
upon the rafters. During the smoking
operation a window was kept open in each
end OF the room.
Remember, as a rule, the slower you
smoke meat the better. The best wood
is green hickory, then maple, beech, ash,
appIe-tree. Never use locust; the bark
imparts an unpleasant flavor to the meat.
Several other kinds of wood do the same.
Cornecobs make very sweet bacon. New
er use any wood that makes a black
smoke. Never use rotten wood or saw
dust. The last day of smoking it is a
good plan to burn a few pepper pods

DirectRauLfne Between Pitts
burSh and Cleveland.

We find in the y. s.. Railroad Register
the following letter:
PITTSBURGH, December 90, lS65.-Dedr
sir: In the last number of your valuable
paper, you quote from a recent speech of
the President of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, to show that an un-
derstanding" was bad between that gen.
tleman and Sir Morton Peto, that, on the
completion of the proposed direct line
from ConnellsFille to Washington City
Capital would be promptly furnished,
and vigorous measures taken tocomplete
the road connecting Cleveland, via
Youngstown, With Pittsburgh, and thus
furnishing to members of Congress and
all parties visiting the, capital of h UNI
ted States, a line from Cleveland, and the
whole region of the Lakes and Northwest,
eighty four miles shorter than any exist
ing line"
This language is a little ambiguous, but
the casual (f not a close) reader would
infer that it was left for the two eminent
gentlemen above named, to come into u
great State to construct the direct lines,
in order to accomplish the great result of
furnishing to members of Congress and
all other parties visiting the capital of the
United States, a line from Cleveland and
the whole Northwest, eighty-four miles
shorter than any existing line"
Now, Mr.. Editor, the fact seems not TO
have been known to those very intelligent
gentlemen that the great purpose, which
they intend to accomplish at some future
day, is now being done unostentatiously,
without speech making, or the use of for
eign capital, or foreign contractors and
engineers, byhumble people herea at home.
A continuous rail line is nearly complete
from Pittsburgh, on the shortest, best,
only natural route following the Valleys
to Youngstown, Ohio, and thence by the
Mahoning road to Cleveland. The whole
of the unfinished portion was put under
contract this year, and in the coming
month the locomotive will traverse the
whole distance between Pittsburgh and
eleveland, excepting an interval Of about
SIX miles just above Lowell, in Mahoning
county, Ohio. By the time the echo of
the ~high-sounding speeches of distin-
guished railway orators passes away, we
shall have the whole of this short line
(l33 miles, between Pittsburgh and Cleve-
land, finished and at work.
After this is done, we hope the Pres
ident of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company and Sir Morton Peto, will
uncork the Connellsyille road, which has
been Theoretically sealed for the past six
years.
