MOORE COUNTY MEETING

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Moore County f. A. and !. U. met at
Cranes Creek July 11th. We had a
pleasant and profitable meeting. The
fair SCI were out in force, and such a
dinner as they gave us will be pleasant
to think Of tor years to come. After
the dinner we had an intellectual feast
That staunch reformer, MI. Allen Jones,
made the speech of his life.
The Alliance passed resolutions en-
dorsing The PROGRESSIVE FARMER as

States.
DR.. Seawell was elected as a delegate
to the State Alliance at Cary. May

Z Another of his earmarks is a DISPOSE

DRESSING LAMBS.

We observe that one of our expert
ment stations has published some very
practical and valuable directions for
dressing lambs. In bleeding the lamb
an opening should be made only on one
side of the neck, preferably the left
side, Immediately back of the head and
In front of the csrvical vertebra (ueck
bonee). The opening need not be large
but it will be necessary to give the
knife blade a considerable sweep in
order to be sure that the large artery
Is severed. The stomach and intestines
should be removed without disturbing
the heart, lungs or liver. As oon as
the intes5ines are removed spreaders
should be inserted to give the lamb the
best appearance when offered for sale.
For lambs weighing from 80 to 40
pounds dressed weight, spreaders about
IA inches long will be about the right
length. If too long spreaders are used
there is danger of breaking the ribs,
and thereby 1njuring the appearance.
At each end of the spreader should be
made a shoulder and a projecting
point; one of these points should be IN
serted from the outside 81 the flank
near the opening made for the removal
of the intestines, the spreader crossing
the back diagonally and the point at
the other end inserted in a similar nan
ner in the opposite side of the lamb
near the chest. In like manner a sec
ond spreader is insert d SO that the two
cross each other forming an x at the
back of the lamb. The caul fat should
then be fastened by means Of two
skewers at the thighs aud the points of
the spreaders, in such a manner that
the whole of the meat, not covered with
the skin is covered with the caul fat
and in this condition the lamb should
be allowed to cool. 1t is of the utmost
Importance that all of the animal heat
be given off before the carcass Is
wrapped for shipment. Many lambs
have reached the market In a bad con-
dition from lack of proper cooling i'm
mediately after Strengthening. This is
more frequently observed in the spring
months during warn weather. Before
shipment each lamb should be wrapped
with two separate wrappings, the inner
wrapping to be of plain tough paper or
muslin Gf muslin is used one yard for
each lamb is suficient). This should
be so put on that it it will draw tightly
over the front of the lamb to prevent
breaking and soiling by handling. An
outer covering Of burlap or sacking
should be added before shipment.

GET GOOD HOGS FOR BREEDING
STOCK.~

The razor 52Gk" hog is rapidly be
coming a thing of the past, being only
found R<fhe form Of pictures in books,
or on the farms where books and papers
are never seen. There are still, no
doubt, a good many non-pay ing hogs
In different parts of the country, but
these are there by force of circum
stances rather than by choice. Breed
ers have e the better hog and they
are no longer content with what they
have; they are seeking to improve
their stock, or getting the pure bred.
Some who do not feel able to buy male
and female, secure a male at least, and
grade it.
1t is no easy matter to select a male
best suited for the stock a breeder may
own. It takes some experience. Those
who have no experience should CORE
spond with breeders who have spent
years in the business, and buy of those
who have made a reputation in hand
ling reliable stock. Perhaps such can
now be found in almost every neigh
borhood. In stock raising as in every
thing else, a good beginning is a guar
antee of success; if right methods are
then adopted, not only to keep the ami
mails up to their standard, but even to
better them in any of the main points
where improvement will appear pos
sible to a breeder of skill and expert
ence.
The hog is n of the most profitable
of animals to be kept on the farm. The
money invested is small and in a short
time it returns with a fair increase. A
few acres of meadow land will be
ample to pasture a score, and this
makes it possible for small farmers to
raise swine. The offal from the kitchen
and dairy, supplemented by a little
grain or corn in some form, will fur
nish quite satisfactory food for them,
and at low cost, SO that it is possible to
make as much out of swine as from
any other source the farmer may have,
and the better the hog, the greater and
more certain will the income be.
