House for smokinr Meats

House for Smoking Meata.
Many farmers sell off the hogs raised
on the farm and buy the hams and
bacon used in the family, giving as an
excuse that well-arranged smoke,
house Is too expensive for them to
have. The smokehouse shown in the
illustration, while a homely affair,
gives good service and will cost but
little to build. A dry goods box or a
piano box will answer the purpose
nicely. The bottom is removed from
the box and hinged door is arranged
as shown SO that the meat may be
easily put In and taken out. This
cover is arranged SO that it can be
fastened with staple and hook when
the meat Is being smoked. The smok-
Ing arrangement of this box is an ideal
one. A hole Is dug in the ground SIX
or eight feet from the box and trench
dug from the hole to point about the
middle of the box. Have length OF
stove pipe fastened to an old, heavy
tin kettle. into which hole has been
cut by the tinsmith. When ready to
smoke the meat build a fire of corn
cobs In the kettle, set it in the hole
and add stove pipe lengths to the CEN
tor Of the house, terminating with an
elbow. After the fire Is well started
cover the kettle with a piece Of tin, to
force all the smoke possible through
the stove pipe into the house. All

The Adventure of a Toad.

One summer afternoon Vandalia,
Eleanor and Walter were walking in
the park. Walter saw a toad hop
ping across the gravel walk, and dis
appear in the grass.
''Vandalia," cried Walter, 'look at
the toad" Vandalia and Eleanor came
up to where Walter stood and looked
at the toad sitting in the grass, con-
tented and happy. An old man pass
ing the children, heard their CONVEX
sation about the toad, paused, and
said:
Children, let us have some fun with
Brother Toad" With his cane in his
hand, and getting down ON his knees,
he slowly pushed the cane through
the grass, in the direction Of the toad's
head. making the grass move as
though snake was crawling through
it, The toad all this time sat digni-
fed and stately as king, not a smile
on his homely face, now and then
his eyes blinking; he looked the image
of JOY, unclouded by sorrow.
AS the cane slowly moved through
the grass, its polished surface glis-
tened in the sunlight, the toad caught
sight of it-a wonderful change came
over him-his dignity failed-he sud
denly gave great leap in the air and
fell down in the grass with thud,
and then began series of jumps and

leaps. like rabbit makes when the
hound chases him. and the toad con-
tinued these jumps until he passed
out of view down a hill.
Walter yelled with delight, crying,
go 1t, toady." Vandalia laughed up-
til tears came into her eyes, and said,
''Toady thinks it is a snake" Eleanor
looked at the toad hopping away from
it's supposed danger, and said in a
voice of pity, poor little toad, it Ia
too bad to scare you"
When the toad reached its home un-
der the rocks. worn out by its long
run for life, he told a great story
to the other toads of the family, about
the snake coming through the grass,
and how he hoped away so fast that
the snake could not catch him, and
the other toads all looked upon him
as hero.
There is many man going about
with a wonderful reputation for brav-
cry, whose bravery, like that of the
toad, rests solely upon a danger that
never existed.-New York Observer.

Farm Notes.
All animals Of the same variety are
not alike, and scarcely any two will
do equally well on the same feed. Each
animals wants should be supplied IL
possible. Cattle of different ages
should be separated for feeding, as the
weak ones will not do well with the
strong. Cows are weak and shy; it
takes them longer to eat their meals,
and they should, therefore, be put
where they cannot be domineered by
their superiors in strength.
There are two most important things
to be kept in mind by the. fruit raiser
pruning and mulching. If those two
duties are well performed success Is
nearly always certain. If well mulched
the fertilizing material is thus supplied
by filtration. from the muiching down
to the feeding roots, which is the very
best self-regulating method of fertiliz-
ing. BY allowing this nllching to re-
main In winter and earlyy spring the
roots are kept moist and vegetation
prevented from springing up around
bushes. or q heavy sod from forming.

NY Bed is a Boat.


NY bed is like a little boat;
Nurse helps me in when l embark;
She girds me In my sailor coat
And starts me in the dark.
At night go on board and say
Good night to all my friends on shore
I shut my eyes and sail away
And see and hear no more.
And sometimes things to bed take
AS prudent sailors have to do;
Perhaps a slice of wedding cake,
Perhaps toy or two.
All night across the dark we steer;
But when the day returns at last.
Safe in my room beside the pier,
! find my vessel fast.

Making Money i'm Mexico.

A New Yorker who has just returned
from visit to Mexico says that many
Americans are making fortunes out of
the mines throughout the Republic.
Already there are five thousand silver
mines and over one thousand gold
mines being operated, and last year the
value Of these metals exported was
nearly $40,O00,0O0. In no other coun-
try in the world are cotton mills pay
ing such dividends as those in Mexico.
and new manufacturing plants Of
every description are going up all over
the Republic. 1t has great future
and in developing itself it is benefting
the business men Of the United States.
The Importation of machinery from this
country in the last year amounted to
over $6,OOO,OOO."
