smoke is generated in the usual way,

smokehouse, where the meat is hang
ing. The damper at d regulates the
admission of smoke, which passes out
at C. The meat should be smoked with
green wood--hickory, elm OF sugar
maple chips or sawdust should be used.
Pine should never be employed, as it
affects the flavor of the meat Corn
cobs are excellent for smoking, as they
impart a sweet and pleasant flavor.
The temperature of the smokehouse
should never rise above so degrees.
The smoking should be done little

Speaking of tobacco dip, a writer
says it will require for 100 sheep 100 gal

enough to kill ticks and the scab it will
require the addition of all the fluid that

bacco. The tobacco should be thor

after being thoroughly stirred should
be added to the dip. If tobacco stems
are used, at least three times the weight
mentioned should be stepped. =

Ydnkton Press and Ddkotidn: In Yankton
County, South Dakota, there are at least
one thousand farmers who came here poor
as the proverbial turkey of Job, and whoto-
day count their worldly possessions by
thousands. Many of them started in with
a house built of sod, and almost empty
handed so far as horses and cattle go. To
day they occupy fine dwelling houses, have
large barns, fine horses, cattle, hogs and
sheep, granaries filled with grain, fruit
orchards, and money in hand. We mention
this to show that South Dakota farmers are
the prosperous class. Prosperity is the
rule-not the exception. With fair prices
for grain and live stock they would be roll

FARM MEAT SMOKER,
A Device for Cooling Smoke Before It

A Device for Cooling Smoke Before It
Reaches the Meat.
Every farmer who cures hams and
bacon requires a smokehouse. There
is no need for an elaborate building.
1t may be as simple as possible, and
should not be alright, as the meat
requires ventilation as well as smoke
for the drying that is essential to good
keeping and eating qualities. But the
most important point in smoking is
that the smoke be cooled before coming
in contact with the meat. The accom-
panying cut shows how this may be
satisfactorily accomplished. The

There was no doubt about the truth
of his announcement. Jimmie was III
deed "in the drink" in an exceedingly
frog-like attitude, with his arms fiat on
the ice before him, and both feet kick
ing vigorously to keep himself from
sliding backward further down into
that deep, dark water. He had no
skates on, which was a good thing, to
be sure. On the other hand Tor FOOT, it
was that same skatelessness which led
TO his failure to check himself when he
faw that airhole right ahead. Then,
TOO he had no business whatever to be
sliding on the south side of Jamaica
pond, since that was where the ice cut
ters earned their living and their sum-
mer lemonade. But it was too late to
discuss that now.
Up came dozen of US whirling mid
the grind of scratchy irons as the feet
''toed in and checked their course.
Every voice yelled: Hold on hard!"
Needless yell! Jim was holding on
as hard as circumstances allowed. He
needed help more than advice just then,
but advice, being the easiest to give,
was what he got most of. and plenty of
it, too, to make up for the others

Now then, out you go-sit on my feet,
somebody! Hold out your other foot
to jim"
In twinkling Jim's fingers froze to
the iron of that other skate, and long
line of us tailed on to the other end OF
the line of communication, while yell
went up from the devoted Mickey. Did
we mean to pull him apart? Then the
yell stopped abruptly in a crash and
