SMOKEHOUSE IS
FARM ESSENTIAL
Late War Responsible for Re-
vivaI of Old Custom Of Farm
ers Curing Meat Supply.
CONCRETE IS MOST DURABLE
Good Type for General Purposes !"
Shown In Ijlustration-Has Been
in Use Three Seasons and
More Than Paid for !tss't.

The old-tIme custom Of home curing
meats. revived during the war mas
been given added impetus in the last
few years and many farmers are ac-
lively engaged in preparing their sur
plus supply for table and sale.
There is no reason why every farm
should not have a modern snlokehouse
and the resulting supply Of well-cured
meats on hand through the winter sea-
son. Prices for old country hams make
It worth any farmers time to lay IN as
big a supply as possible.
Solid Concrete 10 Best.
Many types of smokehouses are IN
use, ranging from the old type OF
barrel with one head knocked out to
the most modern and pretentious al
fairs of solid concrete with double Fad
locked doors. The latter type Is grow
ing steadily in popular favor because
Of its many natural advantages. A con-
crete smokehouse affords permanency,
protection, better quality products and
has big economic advantage through
the fact that 1t Is fireproof and re-
quires no upkeep expense from one
season to the next.
A good type for general purposes Is
shown In the accompanying illustra-
ton. The smokehouse has been In op-
eratlon for three seasons and has more
than raid for itself already with many
more years of usage ahead.

wooden peak roof. Many other farm

PROPER CARE OF MACHINERY
Various Implements Should Be Kept
In Repair and Breakaoe Reduced
to Minimum.

Now adays when a machine breaks
1t Is not only the cost of replacement
to be considered. but the machine may
be out Of service for several days or
weeks because the dealers stock of
parts is low and completely out on
some items.
And 1t isn't the Dealers fault, either,
In most cases. He has orders In for
short stock parts, but ordering Is one
thing and getting orders filled Is some
thing else, as all machinery dealers
and their customers know to their sor-
row.
All farm machinery should be kept
painted. Reduce breakage to the mini
mum. Parts will break often enough
when machines are handled with the
utmost care, but just now, when re-
placements are so expensive and so
difficult to get promptly regardless Of
price, the least the farmer can do Is to
guard against this unnecessary weak
ening of essential equipment, by allow
ing rust to set In on it.

concrete as well because of the dan.
ger of burning the wooden roofing and
the effects of severe weather on the
boards.
A foundation is laid by excavating to
depth of two or three feet and set
ting footing, 1S inches wide and or
10 inches thick. Upon this the wall
rests, starting with concrete bricks
laid upon firm mixture Of cement
mortar. 1t must be remembered that
only as much mortar as will be used
In an hours time should be mixed at
one time as it will "set" in less than
that time.
Racks and hooks are provided for
hanging the meat In the upper part of
The structure so that the smoke will
have free circulation during the curing
process.
Experts in meat smoking hold that
fresh green hickory chips are the best
fuel for flavor and the market value of
meat thus prepared will exceed that
where ordinary methods are employed,
An added feature Of this smokehouse
Is the fact that it Is absolutely safe
from the depredations Of mice and
rats and can be locked to keep out two.

themselves, to be fed sparingly Of food,
but when six months old they will be
taking more food than the old foxes.
"The feeding of foxes is a very in
teresting and very essential part OF
their care. The fox does not rank high
In an epicurean sense. He Is not ut all
fastidious as to the quality of his food,
but 1t Is regarded as essential to the
health Of the little animals that they
should have variety. In some cases
horse meat is fed, but beef Is pre-
ferred. The meat Of rabbits Is regard
ed as delicacy and the ranchers buy
up all that can be obtained"
The Colpitts ranch last winter paid

ton, and everything else that goes for
breeding and excellence. Not all who
go into the fox ranching business are
successful. The fox Is subject to many
diseases, and once these get foothold
1t is difficult to eradicate them.
Worms are one Of the principal causes
Of mortality, and the loss Of ten per
cent Of the pups Is considered fair
average. Instances are known of
ranches being entirely wiped out by
disease. AS a precautionary measure
some of the most successful ranches
dip their foxes twice year into a

The origin of the silver black fox is
somewhat obscure. A Mr.. Oulton, pio-
neer In fur farming in New Bruns-

before the sale the local papers run
articles on the value Of 7urebred sires.
In that STATE 1t has been found that
better results are obtained from the
county sale than from sales covering a
larger section or from state sales.
Farmers are more apt to attend tn.
sales where they can haul the pur-
chases home or ship only a short dis
tance. At number Of these sales the
number Of sires sold has varied from
20 to 90. One Of the big advantages
IL that good blood produced In the
county remains there and improves
the general run Of live stock instead
Of being scattered far and wide.

DONALD B. MACMILLAN.

In July, 1921, Donald B. MacMil- Ian sailed from Wiscasset, Maine, on his seventh voyage to the Arctic. He received his initiation into Arctic work while acting as assistant to Ad- miral Peary at the time of the latter's successful expedition to the Pole in 1s08-190r and the lure of the North has drawn him back whenever an op- portunity vas presented.
 This latest expedition had for its object the exploration of unknown Baffin Land which. on its western side, had the longest unexplored coast line in the world.
 Captain MacMillan, with his six companions, returned in September, 1922, with a wonderful story of ad- venture and accomplishment. There were three narrow escapes from de- struction owing to shoal water and an unexpected amount of drift ice. The whole geography of the West coast of Baffip Land was corrected, biz lakes and rivers in the interior dis covered, and 8 careful study made of Eskimo life, the fauna, flora and meteorological conditions.

Five young women, playing the brass instruments. the violin. piano and drums, put on a snappy band num- Der. and Wayne and Bell, excep- uonally clever man and woman dancers. finish the act with some daz- zling steps and whirlwind antics The final scene is enhanced by electrical effects, creating the impression of 8 storm. Trix and Harry Speck, a man and woman. present a nick" novelty act. Taf1in and Newell is another big time act, the men doing some difficult somersaults on the parallel bar, The closing stunt is a. whirlwind, one of the athletes doing somersaults on the bars while blindfolded.
