Meat in the South.

The Washington Post has this to
say about the meat scandals and the
South's relation to them:
1T seems in order to say, however,
that at least Southern towns, cities
and communities have no right to
COMPLAIN. If at any time they have
suffered, either in their stomachS or
their pockets, because of the high
price or the unwholesome character
Of Chicago meat products, they have
only themselves to blame. There has
never been the smallest reason why
they should not feed themselves from
their own herds, fiocks, fields, diaries
and barnyards. The South is rich in
farming and grazing lands, and the
cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry and veg
etables of the very finest quality and
in unlimited quantity if they choose.
Why need they go to Chicago, Kan
sas City, Omaha or any other distant
market for food which they can pro-
duce themselves? And if they per-
sist in a policy so unnecessary and
SO improvident, they might have the
grace to realize that it is their fault
and refrain from condemnation of
others. The pastures of the South
can turn out as good beef and NUT
ton as the stockyards of Chicago can.
Southern farmers are capable of fur
nishing as high-class butter, milk,
eggs, etc, as any farms in Iowa or
Kansas. Why, then, do not the
Southern people help themselves in
stead of calling upon Hercules to
help them and filling the air with
complaint and imprecation when he
fails to answer to their satisfaction?
I'VE do not pretend to pronounce
upon the truth, or lack of truth, in
all these nauseous denunciations of
the packing houses. We are quite
sure, however, that the Southern peo-
pie would be in much better business
to set about the task of caring for
themselves. 1t is not at all necessary
for them to be dependent on import.

New Use For Virginia Pine.

NOTES.

warm weather plants and should not
be sown early in the reason. AS a
general rule the best time To SOW Is
after CORE planting is finished and
the soil has become thoroughly
warm. The seed should be deeply
covered. II should be sown in drills,
and the crops cultivated like corn I'M
til the SOY bean blooms and the cow
pea begins TO vine. For grain pro-
duction, drilling and cultiVating are
always best, but for hay production
fair results may be secured from
broadcast seeding on ground free or
weeds. The rows should be thirty
two inches apart for the soy beans
and twenty-four inches apart for the
cowpea, and both seeded at the rate
Of twenty TO twenty-five pounds or
seed per acre for the medium sized
varieties. Seeding may be done with
q wheat drill set at two bushels per
acre on the wheat scale, and with
the holes not needed stopped up
Thick seeding is detrimental to seed
production.
Some soils need to be inoculated
with the proper bacteria for one or
both crops before satisfactory results
can be secured. This need can only
be determined by trial and by exam
ination OF the roots for the nodules.
II needed. incubation may be best
accomplished by sowing before the
last narrowing when preparing the
seed bed, 200 or 300 pounds per
acre of soil taken from a field where
the crops have been grown and the
bacteria are known to exist. With
out the bacteria the crops must Sc
cure their nitrogen from the soil,
and under such conditions draw
heavily upon its fertility.
For hay production the cowpea
will generally give best results. 1t
should be cut when the first pods be-
gin to ripen and cured as in the case
of clover Either the Early Black
eye, Whippoorwill, New Era, Michi-
gan Favorite, Iron, Clay, Red Ripper
or unknown varieties may be used.
For grain production either crop
may be used in the South, but in the
northern portion of Indiana the soy
bean will usually be most profitable.
The Ito San. Early Browns and Me-
dunn Early Yellow (late) are among
the best varieties.
Harvesting should be done when
most of the leaves have fallen and
most of the mods are riDe An old
fashioned self-rake reaper or now
er with a side delivery attachment
will be found satisfactory for har-
vesting. Threshing may be done
with the ordinary threshing machine,

speed. A corn shredder may also be

Disinfectants and DeOdorants.

I have frequently been obliged to
beat a hasty retreat from a house
piacarded for a contagious disease
because the mother was burning sui
phur on the stove, as a disinfectant,
which, although it could not possibly
kill any germ, made the air suffo-
eating to breathe, writes DR.. Her.
bert G.. Emerson in Good Housekeep-
ing. ] have seen a woman using such
a strong solution, supposed to be a
disinfectant, in scrubbing the wood
work of a sickroom, that she had ia
ken off all the paint down to the
wood It may be we'll to point out
She difference between a disinfectant
and a deodorant; while a disinfec-
tant kills germs, a deOrdOrant de-
stroys odors, and has no power to
kill germs A deordorant is some
times needed, but it must not be
used with the idea that is a germi-
eide also. Charcoal is a good exam
pie of a deodorant, and whitewash
has both deodorizing and disinfect-
ing power. Many of the socalled
diSinfectants are very weak in germ
killing power, and are simply deo-
dorants. Cleanliness is the foremost
agency in destroying disease germs.
II should be constantly practiced
from the beginning to the end Of an
illness. The mere act of cleansing
destroys many germs, while scrub
bling and hopping remove many
more. The processes are an efficient
disinfectant in another way, because
they remove dirt in which germs may
find their nourishment and food for
growth. Good soap and water clean
ing should never be forgotten. Dry
busting should be done with great
care in sick room, and that abomi-
nations of broOms, the feather dust
e., should be excluded not only from
the sick room but from every house.
Sunlight is a very valuable destroyer
of bacterial life, and it's Importance
cannot be overestimated. It is not
always available but it should be
used much more than it is, both for
the sick room and many household
objects that may be infected. Many
bacteria die out for want of mois-
ture upon which they depend for liv-
ing and growing. Damp, dirty cor
ners are the abiding places of germs,
but dry, clean, well-aired and sunlit
rooms put many obstacles in the way
OF their development.
