CURING MEAT IS
NOT DIFFICULT

The smoking of meat on the farm
is not a difficult matter nor does il
require elaborate or expensive equip
ment, says DR.. w. E. Joseph, of the
Montana Experiment station. Smok-
ing not only helps to preserve meat
but when properly done it adds a de-
sirable flavor. The smoke house
should be standard equipment for
most farms in Montana, according to
DR.. Joseph.
If but a small quantity of meat is
to be smoked each year a barrel or
box may be used effectively. A con-
venient arrangement is to build a
fire pit in the side of a little hill
brick, stone or concrete is good ma
terial to use-and run a pipe to carry
the smoke to a box or barrel or an
especially constructed smoke house
arrangement is not suitable a fire pit
may be made in the center of the
floor of the smoke house. In this
case a metal shield must be provided
to protect the meat from the heat I'M
less the meat hangs at least six feet
above the fire. In any case the smoke
house should have small holes under
the caves or near the top to provide
ventilation and carry off the heat. A
convenient size for the average farm
smoke house is six by eight by IA
feet high.
The proper fuel for smoking meat
may be somewhat of a problem at
times. The best wood for this pur-
pose is green hickory or maple. In
any case hardwood is preferable to
soft wood and resinous wood should
never be used because it gives the
meat an Objectionable flavor. Corn
cobs may be used and are frequently
PRESSED into service when other more
desirable materials are not available.
The only objection to corncobs is
they deposit a layer of sooty car
bon on the meat and give it a dirty
appearance.
Meat should, of course, be thor
oughly cured before smoking. The
different methods of curing were ex-
in a previous article. Dry
cured meat is ready for the smoke
house. Sweet-pickle or brine-cured
neat should be soaked in clean water
or a half hour before smoking and
f it has remained in the pickle be-
7ond the required time, soak in water
hree minutes for each additional day
t has remained in the pickle.
Hang meat in the smoke house and
% not allow pieces to touch, as a
rec circulation of smoke is neces-
airy. The fire should be kept going
and held as evenly as
The temperature should
lot go above 12O degrees.
A satisfactory color may be obtain
ID in 48 hours but it is better to

onger than that, especially if it is

Intermittent smoking for a period of
x weeks.
If the weather is warm it may be

MONTANA AMONG STATES
WHERE CONDITIONS ARE LIST
ED BETTER THAN 1922.
Federal Farm Loan Board Urges
Farmers to Go in for Diversified
ton and Cooperative Marketing
to Succeed.

The federal farm loan board urges
the farmers of the country to turn to
Investigation of crops and the de-
velopment of cooperative marketing
as "the only sound basis for agricul-
tural success"
Basing it's observations on data
supplied by the IL federal land banks
presidents who have just concluded
their winter conference, the board
said in a statement hat conditions
In the agricultural industry showed a
''very satisfactory improvement" but
it felt that full advantage of the sit
uation might not be taken by the
farmers unless they diversified crops
and organized for their sale.
The information furnished by the
land bank officials gave every rea-
son the statement said for the belief
that the Improvement noted in the
last year would continue.
Collections we're described as most
satisfactory in most sections and this
was accepted as indicating that the
farmers are getting on their feet fl
nancially.
agricultural conditions on the
whole" the statement added, " con-
tinue to improve although there are
sections which on account of partial
crop failure, the low price of the
principal crop or scarcity of labor
are not prosperous. These, of course
include only a fractional part of the
total farming area. The fruit grow
ers and cattle raisers appear to be
the most unfortunate. The wheat
farmer on the whole has not had a
prosperous year.
There is every reason, however,
to believe that this improvement will
continue. The most encouraging
part of the report to the board is the
tendency throughout the United
States to diversity farming. 1t is our
belief that Investigation and coop
erative marketing furnish the only
sound basis for agricultural pros
perity."
Farm Loan Commissioner Cooper
summarized conditions in various
land bank districts as follows:
Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, and
Wyoming-Conditions are generally

of South Dakota where poor quality
of wheat marked this years crop.
The corr crop was very good through
out the district, the western part
reporting the largest yield in many
years and it was sold at good prices.

INDICTMENTS AGAINST
FORMER OFFICER SCORED
Claim is Made That Charges Reject
ing on Crowell Are Political
Shots

Washington, April Establishments
against Benedict Crowell, former as
sistant secretary Of war and seven
others in connection with wartime
army cantonment contracts were at
tackled as a political procedure today
by William A. Starrett, one Of the de-
PENDANTS who filed demurrer in the
District Of Columbia supreme court.
Mr.. Starrett's demurrer set forth
that the indictments In substance rep
resented an attack on the war policies
of the Wilson administration. II they
were sustained 1t was asserted, 1t
would follow that any person acting
for the United States in an executive
ca pacity and whose acts might receive
the approval of a superior court Off
Ger including the president would be
subject to indictments with his CO.
workers at the instigation OF sue
ceeding administration.
This would be the case. Mr.. Star
rett's demurrer added II the new adj
should happen to dis
agree with the outgoing administra-
ton in matters of policy or should
wish to make political capital out Of
an attack on IT'S predecessor.
The demurrer said the indictment
failed to show a crime against the
United States and that, inasmuch as
i was political subject the criminal
court had no jurisdiction.
