REFORMING THE TEACHERS.

A document issued by the National
Bureau Of Education sets forth the
proposition that "rural' school teach.
ers are a positive force to 6epopulate
the country districts. The courses OF
study, the method Of teaching, the
general tone and influence Of the coun-
try schools tend to drive the young to
the towns.'' This is by no means a
new discovery. But that rural teach
ers have been, and often still are, such
an inimical force, is due chiefly to the
system to which, until recently,
they were obliged to conform if they
would obtain an education fitting them
for a teachers certificate. Now, how
ever, that system is being gradually
reformed by the introduction Of cours-
l. es directly bearing upon country life;
by the revision Of textbooks, so that
examples and exercises shall be based
upon agricultural affairs, and by the
exaltation, of rural topics as equally
iateTesting and mind.expandiHg with
those of the counting:room and, fac
tory. Even the Bureau Of Education
has caught some inspiration to activity
lin the; interest of teducation. toward
! the, farm,'' and has, compiled ga
Course Of Study for the Preparation Of
Burial School, Teachers,'' for free dis
ltribution to, those aspiring to the great
iest usefulness, in the country schools.

SMOKING MEATS
Some Suggestions as to Smoke House6
and Fuel. H. q,

Smoking meat is an old and ancient
custom that has been in vogue for
lcenturies, and has probably undergone
as slight change rs any. branch Of
the meat industry. The object of smok-
ing meat is to preserve it for summer
:, use, and at the same time add the flavor
which is so desirable. It also makes the
meat more palatable, consequently
greatly improving it's usefulness. ~
1 Many artificial methods of flavorin9
have been recommended, and materials
sold on the market, but none have been
! discovered that are as satisfactory as
, smoking with proper fuel. After tho
meat has been in brine for q period OF
six or seven weeks, it is ready to be
smoked. After taking it from the brine,
all pieces should be soaked in water at
about SIS to 65 degrees F.. Keep the
meat in the water for about five or six
hours. The object Of this soaking is to
, remove all the salt from the surface:
which, if left on the meat, forms Z
crust and is very Objectionable after
smoking. After soaking, allow the meat
to drip before hanging in the smoke
house. ,.9
A desirable smoke-house is one built
Of brick or cement; but it may be built
Of any material. For farm use, q con-
venient size is one that is about 6x8 or
8x10, and about 10 feet high. Ventila-
tion should be provided, so that the
ismoke may escape from the house.
Some people conceive the idea that all
smoke should be held in the house and
not allowed to escape; but when such
is the case it becomes stale and does
not impart to the meat as good flavor
as when it is allowed to pass from the
smoke-house after coming in contact
with the meat.
In hanging the meat in the smoke
house, no two pieces should be al
lowed to touch, as it means uneven
smoking. The meat should be hung
as high as possible, so as not to be too
near the fire.
The best fuel to use is hard wood,
such as hickory, maple or any good
hard wood, or sawdust. Soft woods
should be avoided, as they give off
considerable carbon, which forms an
undesirable coating on the outside Of
the meat. In case the hard wood can
not be had, the best thing to use IL
good clean corncobs. The fire should
never be more than enough to produce
a continuous smudge, SO as not to give
for a period Of from SO to 4S hours.
This is long enough to smoke meat II
the fire is; not allowed to die down.
Meat, when properly smoked, should
be of light straw brown or amber
color.-W. n. Tomhave, Extension
Division, Minnesota College of Agri-
culture.

w THEN, 122 years ago today, Aug
w ust 10. 1890. the good ship Co
lumbia sailed into Boston har-
Dor. those who from the wharves
looked upon her swelling canvas and
watched the spray as it dashed from
her prov little realized that she was
estab lishing a glorious record and max
ing a bit of history that no other ship
would ever be able TO repeat. Yet such
was the case, as will duly appear in the
course Of the story.
In September. 17S7. Capt Robert Gray
sailed from Boston as master of the
sloop Washington, in company with
Capt. Kendrick, commanding the ship
COlumb 1a, on trading voyage TO the
northwest coast and TO China.
Capt. Kendrick decided to remain on
the coast. so Capt Gray, taking COM
mand Of the Columbia, sailed for China
with a cargo of furs. DiSpoSing Of his
furs to fine advantage in the land Of
the celestials, Gray returned thence by
way of Cape of Good Hope TO Boston

Hence it was most memorable day,
that 10th Of August 1880, a day that
should never be forgotten by those who
love the great republic and are proud
OF its present-day standing among the
nations Of the earth.
There was but little intercOmmunica lea
ton in those days. and the strangers
within our gates were consequently
few. Our flag was practically unknown
outside of our own country.
Now and then the traveller in our
midst would have his attention called

had heard in a roundabout way that
we had a flag but that was all.

When our flag first circumnavigate

The very political structure of which
it was the symbol was nothing more
than an experiment, the success of
which was doubted by many of the
