The Full Smoke House.

we all know that properly cured
mans, bacon and sausage are mighty
good eating. Some of us do not real
lie, however, the enormous economic
ana financial Importance of Southern
hogs. - i
Ihelr cash value Is nearly four
hundred and twenty millions of dol
lars. Their annual products, in the
shape OF fresh and cured meat are
worth half this enormous sum,
A TACT even yet harder to realize,
Is that one quarter of this annual
wealth. Is often uselessly wasted,
through improper care and curing.
ms is the cause for q recent unu-
sual ana most valuable example of
publishing enterprise.
me Southern Ruralist, of Atlanta.
which has become the most widely
read of all Southern agricultural pa
pers, has made it's Nov. LIST number
Smoke House Special"
1t offered five cash prizes for the
best contributed articles on the
making or curing of meat. Hun
dreds of articles, giving the practi-
cal experience of successful farmers,
We're received from all over the
South. Twenty of these articles are
published in this special.
In addition there are articles COW
ering every phase of the meat cues
ton from the very highest authori-
ties in this country.
1t Is safe to assert that nothing APP
preaching this special has ever been
attempted before. 1t is the most
comprehensive, lucid and authorita-
tive discussion of this great meat
question in existence. 1t is the best
reference authority for the use of
those who wish to make meat profit
ably.
The seeker after information con-
corning any point in the curing of
meat will find it here. Science, prin-
ciples, successful practice, detailed
methods and recipes are here.
Here are some of the things plain
ly told. These questions constantly
asked by hog owners are clearly |
answered:
How to prevent from spelling after
sailed. How to kill, cure and save |
meat, absolutely Independent of the
weather at any time of the year. |
How to protect against flies, shippers
or other insects. How to cure with
out smoke-house. How to prevent
"rusting." How to prevent mo ding.
How to keep cured meat indefini tely
in the hottest summer weather. How
to make the famous "Smithfieldn
hams. How to cure, prepare, make
or save each form or kind of meat or
meat product.
From so large mass of valuable
it is difficult to select that
most useful.
We believe the five prize articles,
the two editorials entitled Between
You and Me" and weather Man or
Ice Man." and the article by DR..
otockbridge, 1.-THE Why of Meat
Curing" are particularly worthy of
oerusal. They supply information
he use of which means the saving of
Millions of dollars to the south every
year. l
We are assured that the work of
,he Ruralist in preparing this ma 6
erial was not wholly selfish. The l
publishers hope to render real SER
'ice to southern farmers. AS evil
lence of this desire they offer to
nail copy of this number of the
2uralist absolutely free to any one
the same.
We can heartily recommend this
'tfer to our readers, and suggest
making this request of the Southern
2uralist, Atlanta, Ga.

LETTER TO F. J. FEARNSIDE,
Palatka, Fla.

Dear Sir: This happened seven
years ago. A man, having three lit
tie poultry houses, bought one gal
Ion of each of two paints to paint
them; paid SLIGO for one and 81 Is for
| the other. 10 cents difference.
| The SLIGO gallon painted one house,
the $l.75 gallon painted the other
two houses. The cost of the paint
was: first house SLIGO; second house
size; third house S71ac.
But painting goes with paint, and it
costs as much to paint one paint as
another, about SO. so a gallon.
The painting of one of those houses
with $l.6O paint cost the same as that
of the other two with Sl.75 paint:
$3.50. Difference $l.75 a house same
way as the rs cents.
-Four years ago, he painted that
first little house again, same paint
he wanted to know what the cost of
Keeping a house well-painted really
is. The other two houses didn't
need painting.
Last year he painted all three lit
tie houses, same paints as at first;
and reckoned his cost to date of be-
ginning the job.
Lhe uihG llJUl6 house ndu COSG 30. III
twice, or 5000, and was ready to
paint again; the second two houses
had cost $500, and were ready to
paint again.
This is: saving 10 cents gallon
made one house cost twice as much
as the other two houses, besides the
fuss of an extra paint job in three
years.
The ST. paint was Devoe.
This tale is made-up of q thousand
Devoe is always the
paint that takes less gallons, costs
less money, wears longer, less fuss.
And the cost of Devoe is about one
fourth of the cost of paint that
doubles the gallons.
Yours truly

lem is reduced to figures which ac-
count for the demand, says Popular
Mechanics. Bats are no longer whitfield
out of a piece of board, as was done
forty years ago. but are made on ma
chimes which turn out their thousands
daily.
The process Is simple but slow. First
the logs are cut into "bolts" of from
thirty-two inches to forty-two inches
long and the bolts sawed into billets
two and a half inches or three inches
square at the ends Three years sea
soning Is required for the best bats,
either In the log or billet. The kiln
drying process is rapid, but not CON
sidered as good. The billets are placed
in an automatic lathe, which quickly
transforms the stick into the graceful
form of the bat.
The bat is then smoothed and polish
ed by being held against rapidly
moving horizontal belt which Is cover
ed with sand. 1t is then ready for its
coat of oil, varnlsh or paint. as the
case may be.
