The War.

A Toxic dispatch states that the Port
Arthur besiegers occupied raliuchiatun,
Saturday. 1t 10 officially announced
that the whole of the Russian advanced
positions In front of the japanese right
has fallen The following report was
received from the beselgers at Port
Arthur on Monday: "a body of our
right wing surprised the enemy at
Housanytantun (Housanentao?) and
Siaofantup. (The latter about six and
a half miles northwest of Port Arthur
at ten O'Clock Sunday night, and occu-
pied the villages and subsequently dis
lodging the enemy, occupied tho whole

the shipyards in the Baltic are working

ron will go out in two sections. The
Admiral pledges himself TO have the

THE OLD TINE SMOKE
HOUSE.


No old citizen of the South, can
travel over the farms and planta-
tons of to-day, without being
forcibly struck by the many
changes which time has brought.
Among the most noticeable is the
absence of the old time smoke
house, big, roony, and sugges-
tive of peace and plenty. The
capacious old smoke-house, filled
with home cured hams, middlings,
strings of sausage, lard, sorghum,
and picked vegetables, is no
more, and in its place is four
by-six little store room, where
once in a while, a few hams are
smoked into a state of preserva-
ton. The old time hog killing is
only memory, a long-drawn-
out winter picnic, which the
present generation can never en-
joy.
Then came the smoking pro-
cess, when the pickaninnies were
busy from morning until night,
"toting" hickory chips, and keep
ing the smoke going. When prop.
erly cured, experienced house,
wives gave personal supervision
to the preparation and applica
ton of molasses, pepper and bo-
rax, which gave to the old time,
Southern cured hams the deli
cious flavor, which made them
famous. No daintier, more ap-
petizeing morsel ever delighted
an epicure than the Southern
home cured ham or bacon, YET
they have become has-beens, and
the modern tasteless, patent
cured, northern meat has taken
their place. If anything was te
be gained by the change, or il
was an impossibility to raise anc
cure meat, there might be some
excuse for the change; but the
South is greatly the loser, from
the importing habit we have form
ed. and raising hogs is as feasible
now as before the war.
Not only would the farmer save
money, and live better, if he per.
sisted in keeping his own smoke.
house, but at the dullest season
of tae year, when money is scarce
AMI crops merely promises of tn,
future, he could sell sall sur,
plus meat at fancy prices, ant
thus prevent the necessity of run
ming long credit accounts. There
would be no need of shipment tt
cities, although such products
would doubtless be eagerly re.
ceived anywhere. While corn il
cheap and meat high, try this re.
turn to methods of the Old South
and reap a rich reward.
