A Western New York farmer publish
es his plan of small, cheap. and good
smoke house, which, as it may contain
some practical hints for our readers, We
append:
No farmer should be without good
smoke house, and such a one as Will be
fire-proOf and tolerably secure from
thieves. Fifty hams can be smoked at
one time in II smoke-house seven by
eight feet square. Mine is six by seven,
and is large enough for most farmers. L
first dug all the ground out below where
the frost would reach, and filled it up {"
the surface with small stones. On this
laid nv brick floor, in lime-mOrtar. The
walls are brick, eight inches thick, and
seven seeet 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 joists, two by four,
set up edgewise, and half inches from
center to center, covered with brick, and
put ON q heavy coat of mortar. / built
y small chimney on the top i'll the cen-
ter. arehing it over and covering II with
q shingle roof in the usual way. Aniarch
should be built on the outside, with II
small iron door to shut it up, similar to
a stove door, with a hole from he arch
through the wall of the smOke-house,
and an iron crate over 1t. The arch Is
much more convenient and better To put
the fire in, than to build a fire inside the
smoke-house, and the chimney causes
draft through into the smoke-house.-
Good cOrn-cobs or hickory wood are tho
best materials to make a smoke for hams.
The cost OF such smoke house as L de-
scribe is about 500.

irrigation in India.

The canal in India recommended by
the Government engineer, it is stated,
will cost Sac, 900, 900. The works have
already been commenced in different
places, but the great want is civil en-
gineers, who can plan aud dig canals,
build dams, tanks and reservoirs, con-
struct emban kments and improve river
channels. The English Journals are
therefore recommending the civil en-
gincers of Great Britain, who are com
planning of lack of employment, To pro-
ceed to India. The aqueducts to be con-
will supply aa immense area
with water. In Central India, there are
nearly l2i ,e00,0 acres to be irrigated
in Hindostand, 500, 900; and the MysOre
district the Old native structures are
being Idisinterred with a view to their
restoration to use the Hood canals in

streams; y tank to cost SS45e 600 Is among
the works now going on i'll the Deccon !;
two canals leadingEto Calcutta are to be
made--one from the coal mines of Ra-
neegunge, the other from the Ganges at
Rafmahal another, ,1frOIn the Jumha,
near Delhi, will water the Muttra and
Agra districts and the Sutlej canal, first
projected in 1861. is now to be cOmmenc-
ed. In Burmah, embellishments are to
be made, and an engineering officer has
been sent to see what cali be done with
the Irawadi. Every where, indeed, says
the Atiseng,tn,, the fertiIizing ald re-
freshing element is to be made to fl W,
and there is work enough for thousands
of men for more than lifetime a few
more generations and India will cease
to be desolated by famine
