Smoking and Hanging Meat. The process of smoking helps to preserve the meat by drying it, and it also jrives a desirable flavor if smoked properly and with the right kind of fuel. If only a small quantity of meat is to be smoked once a year, a barrel or box will answer. By arrallokuj the barrel or ^M^>ox with the that the fire 4fe^fcan be built on the outside and the i^Hsmoke conveyed to the box in this flue, one can throughly smoke small quantities of meat without danger of injury to the meat or without danger of fire. Green hickory or oak is the best fuel for smoking. Hardwood is always preferable. One should never i use pine or any other resinous wood. L After the meat has been washed & in lukewarm water it should be hung B in the smokehouse and allowed to Sjjf hang for 24 hours before beginning B to smoke. A slow fire should be W started so that<the meat will warm " up gradually. The fire can be kept going continously until the smoking is complete, holding the temperature as even as possible, especially around 120 to 125 degress F. If there it any quantity of meat and it is not intended to keep it for any great length of time, 36 to 48 hours is long enough to smoke it; but if the meat is to be kept for a considerable lenght of time, it is better to smoke it slower and longer. During warm weather 't is best to start the fire every other day, rather than to heat the meat too rapidly. When the meat is throughly smok ed the smokehouse should be opened that thp meat mav cool. It is then (ready to be packed Wrap in heavy paper and put into muslin sacks. Tie this sack securely so as to keep out inects, and always remove the strings by which the meat was hung up to smoke. After the meat is put in these sacks each sack should be painted with a wash made from the following receipe: lor each 100 pounds of meat use 3 pounds of barium sulphate; .06 pounds of glue; .08 pounds of chrome yellow; .04 pounds of flour. Dissolve the flour in a half-bucket of water. Be sure to dissolve all the lumps; then dissolve the chrome yellow in a quart of water in a separate vessel and add this solution as a glue to the flour, dp Bring the whole to a boil and add the barium sulphate slowly, being sure to stir constantly. Make this wash the day before it is going to be used and apply with a brush to the sack being sure to keep it stirred all the time so that none of the conents will settle in the botom of he pail. After the meat is packed in this way it can be hung up for future use ?The Progressive Farmer. o Get Your Cotton Grader Now. One of the serious handicaps to the establishment of cotton grading services in connection with the warehouses of the south has been the difficulty in securing well-trained, reliable cotton classers. The imporportance of this work is being more generally realized by reason ->f its successes in the counties where *he graders have been at work saving farmers from $2.50 to $50 a bale on their cotton; and with the mrjiy cooperative selling associations now beI ing organized in North and So uth Carolina, Missisippi, Texas, and Oklahoma, there will next fall still greater demand for cotton graders. W etherefore urere the county agents and the ? heads of these associations not to I postpone the question of securing cotton graders. Take it up now with the Bureau of Markets at Washingr ton ar.d toll them just what your prospects are. The Bureau will no doubt fe have more calls than it can fill, and j will welcome the cooperation of local j < associations which can secure sen-' * ices of graders in their own locality if who can stand the government's test. There are a numbe" of expe't cotton graders now working on salarcs for cotton firms in the south. If these could qualify under the Bureau of Market's requirements and the sal a-1 lies were sufficient, many od be j giad to take up the classing 01 cotton for cooperative associations. Some of the agricultural colleges have been giving courses in cotton grading and should be.?ble to furnish a limited nombe/*of men who could qualify. Don't wait until cotton-Dickine time next fall to start out (to get a cotton grader. Get the question up at the next meeting of your farm bureau or cooperative association and get definite action. If there is no organization in your county, take it up with your county agent or the state extention service and begin now on a plan to get your cotton graded by a government grader in order that you will not have to go it blind in selling next year's crop. No man can figure what it has cost the ! farmers of the south to sell their cotE without knowledge of grade or le, depending on the buyers to set their own grades and prices for them, ?The Progressive Farmer. o 'Phone 179 for Ice D. & B.

As vcu open the wir Jaws, breathe the Spring air and let in the sunshine, the red corpuscles in your i blood should c .rry more oxygen to the 'c tiny cells. j The red corpuscles are tiny disc- t shaped particles, swimming in enor- c mous numbers in the blood. They carry oxygen to cells in all parts of the body, and they carry away worn- . out waste matter. Sometimes, especially in th-! Spring, after the winter indoors and more or less sickness, ^ tfte red corpuscles themselves need c rebuilding. Gude's Pepto-Mangan 1 contains just the ingredients to give J them greater power to absorb oxygen ' and to distribute it throughout the c body. c That is why it is such a good Spring s tonic. It helps so much to bring back color to cheecks made pale and /an \ by the necessary indoor winter life. It adds to the number of red corpus- , cles.
