House for smoking Meats.

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 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 RMS
cover is arranged so that 1t can be
fastened with a 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 a point about the
middle Of the box. Have length OF
stove pipe fastened to an old, heavy
tin kettle, into which a 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
ter of the house, terminating with an
elbow. After the fire is we'll started
cover the kettle with piece of tin, to
force all the smoke possible through
the stove pipe into the house. All

MulchinG the s,tra,. erry Beds.
The m st successful growers of straw
berries in the country have decided that
spring cultivation is not desirable al
though for years this was the universal
practice. They do the cultivation for
the year after the plants have frutcd.
and in the winter mulch the plants
lightly, putting on only sufficient to
keep the plants from being hcavcd out
of the ground by The alternate freezing
and thaWing Of the sci. in late winter
and early spring. The mulch is left on
by some growers until after the picking
season, when it is rdl,ed up in piles and
burned to destroy the insects in it; 9TH
er growers rake the mulch off in the
late spring and burn il. applying fresh
mulch, which is allowed to remain dur
Ing the season and until after picking
Either plan is good but the main thing
Is to apply the mulch and do it as soon
as the ground is frozen, While The
plants may not need protection from
the winter, the mulch will assist in pro
tCcting the crowns ana the delicate run
ners and new plants which set late in
the season, and it keeps the soil from
becoming compacted 10y the heavy rains
of winter. In all sections where there
is winter, mulch is desirable for straw
berry plants and as it costs but little
and is quickly applied, there is no eX-
,use for not doing the work and reap
ng the profitable returns.
