A FIy.proOf Smoke House.

E. B. Steers, Bull Creek, w. Va,
wants plan ola smoke-house that will
keep meat clear Of flies. 1t is necessary,
to secure this, to build the house OF
brick, or Of boards battened tightly
together and lathed and plastered inside.
The roof should be of tin, and the
cornice should be tightly fitted together.
The door should not be more than five
feet high, and just above it screen Of
fine wire gauze fitted on frame hung
on hinges and fitting closely to the sides
of the house, so as to divide the upper
part of the house, where the meat is
hung, from the lower part, where the
fire is made. This screen should not
be removed or opened while the outer
door is open, and flies should be care
fully excluded during this time. A
window fitted with fine wire screen
NAV be set in the house, both for light
and ventilation, when required. For
greater convenience in opening, the
cross screen may be made in two parts,
but care must be taken that no spaces
be left where fly or insect could crawl

Sweet Pork.

It's beyond doubt that cleanliness
has much to do with the flavor OF pork.
The filthy state in which many fatten-
ing hogs are kept has tendency not
only to give rank taste to the meat, but
to render it positively unwholesome
A very common mode Of penning hogs
at this season is in a rail pen, without
protection from the weather. The
conseo uence is that such pens are not
fit to keep a living animal in; wet and
filthy, cold and uncomfortable as they
are, hogs will not take on fat, and a
great proportion of the food is wasted
While they are kept in them, while the
filth a considerable amount OF which
the hogs will consume, must be
detrimental to their health and to the
health of those who eat their flesh. 1t
is not onlv safer but more economical to
give fattening animals good shelter and
dry beds and litter, and keep them
quite clean. The labor will be well
repaid.
