Huy an old but good up right piano box, and after making It smoke tight with paper, set it In the desired place and dig a trench so that the piping will enter at one end of the box through the bottom. Then take an old wash boiler with a good copper Imttom and have a tinsmith make a hole In one side near the,bottom, and In this fasten a piece of tin water pipe I (ZD 'r. riA.NO BOX SMOKEHOUSE. or four-Inch stovepipe.

It Is well enough to lay down the rule that ten pounds of corn will make one pound of pork, but rules may not give the results expected unless ap plied under certain conditions. Some breeds of hogs will produce more pork on the same food than others, and even with a selected breed there will be some Individual animals that will Increase more rapidly than others. In the winter season, If the hogs are ex posed, twenty or thirty pounds of corn may be required to make a pound of pork. Care and management are lm portant, as well as breed and food.

The annual protest of seed men against free distribution of seed by the Department of Agriculture has been sent to the President. It Is signed by twenty-nine seedsmen, embracing the whole territory between the Rocky Mountains and the New England coast. The protest states that the original In tention of the law was to obtain seeds unknown in the United States that might prove valuable, and In this way Increase our agricultural productions, but that this statesmanlike proposition has been grievously distorted, with the result that In the main the most com mon kinds of garden seeds have been distributed. No doubt a great abuse has crept Into this matter of free seed patron age. It has been used by a great many unscrupulous politicians to make them selves solid with certain voters. Like all other public questions, there are two sides. The distribution of sugar beet seed grown on the Taclfic coast for experiment all over the country Is a good feature that will offset some of the undesirable ones. Not all the seeds distributed are common garden truck, Field and Fireside. Hanger of Rrallam. David Belasco was talking about stage realism. - " "It may go too far," he said.

Turn into a flat dish and cook in a hot oven until the edges of the oysters curl, then pour over buttered toast.

Many mistakes are made In the feed ing of cottonseed meal, feeders forget ting for the moment that it is an ex tremely concentrated food and needs a pretty strong stomach to handle it; hence it should be fed sparingly to young stock. As a food by itself It will not do for any considerable period, but as one of n mixture It has great value even at a price as high as $35 a ton, provided the other grains used are not too high in price. A fine mixture Is corn meal, the grinding of the corn and the cob together and the cottonseed-meal. Or, bran may be used when the corn is ground without the cob but in the latter case the ratio should be two parts of the cottonseed meal to one part each of the corn meal and the wheat bran.

As the squash bug winters in the adult state under rubbish, etc., cleanli ness becomes advantageous in avoid ing Injury the following season. Where the pest has been troublesome, collect ing the cucurbit vines after the crop Is taken and destroying them will be the means of killing or starving many of the Immature bugs. Baying Fruit Tree. If fruits of any kind are to be set out, see that the supply is purchased and the stakes set so that when the time comes for transplanting there need be no delay. With many spring Is considered the best time for set ting out fruit and if this plan be in tended, so tar as possible the work should be done early, so that the trees or plants will be able to make a good start to grow before hot, dry weather shall have set In. Purchases , may be made, in winter,, in advance.-?. Coat ol Putting fp Silage. The question is often discussed as to the cdfet of putting up silage, says Michigan Farmer. From a large num ber of records kept among Illinois farmers it was found to cost about 50 cents per ton. In some cases the cost was as much as 70 cents per ton, while in others as low as 35. In filling a Michigan silo this season where the horn was heavy and had to bo hauled about 100 rods to the silo It cost 37 cents per ton. The cost should vary with the distance the silage is to be hauled. If silage Is to be put up eco nomically an ensilage cutter should be uf-ed that will take the corn and handle it rapidly.

How to Exercise the Bowels Your Intestines are lined inside with millions of little suckers, that draw the Nutrition out of food as it passes them. But, if the food passes too slowly, it decays before it gets through. Then the little suckers draw Poison from it Instead of Nutrition. This Poison makes a Gas that injures your system more than the food should have nourished it. You see, the food is Nourishment or Poison, Just according to how long it stays in transit. They do not waste any precious fluid of the Bowels, as Cathartics do. They do not relax the Intestines by greasing them inside like Castor Oil or Glycerine. They simply stimulate the Bowel Muscles to do their work naturally, com fortably, and nutritiously. And, the Exercise these Bowel Muscles are thus forced to take, makes them stronger for the future, Just as Exercisa makes your arm stronger. wr ill u i ( to j ' The usual remedy for this delayed passage (called Constipation) is to take a big dose of Castor Oil. . This merely make slippery the passage for unloading the current cargo. It does not help the Cause of delay a trifle. It does slacken the Bowel-Muscles more than ever, and thus weakens them for their next task. Another remedy is to take a strong Cathartic, like Salts, Calomel, Jalap, Phos phate of Sodium, Aperient Water, or any of these mixed. What does the Cathartic do? It merely flushes-out the Bowels with a waste of Digestive Juice, set flowing Into the Intestines through the tiny suckers. But, the Digestive Juice we waste in doing this today is needed for tomorrow's natural Digestion, We cannot afford to lose it. That's why Cascarets are the only safe medicine for the bowels. Cascarets are as safe to use constantly as they are pleasant to take. They are purposely put up like candy, so you must eat them slowly and let them, go down gradually with the saliva, which is in Itself, a fine, natural Digestive. They are put up purposely In thin, flat, round-cornered Enamel boxes, so they can be carried in a man's vest pocket, or in a woman's purse, all the time, without bulk or trouble.
