In order to do neat and rapid work
at hog-killing time. it is necessary to
have a good scraper. sticking knife, a

For scalding, barrel is commonly
used, and it is all that is needed unless
the hogs are very large. If very large
hogs are killed. a scalding tub will an

and three and one-half feet wide, with

Two hooks are fastened near the top
on one side, with pair of trace chains
to run under the hog, to facilitate the
turning and Withdrawing from the tub.
1t is placed over a furnace, which
is made by digging trench in the ground,
and when in use place pieces Of wood
across the bottom, in order to keep the
hog from coming in contact with the iron
bottom and getting too hot.

In handling the hog, stick the nook

The amount of salt I use is 10 pounds

Two barrels may be used, changing
the meat from one to the other each
time it is rubbed. After the last rub

week or ten days then take It out to

each piece in a kettle of boiling water
and let it remain half a minute, after
which sprinkle little powdered boraz

The respiration Of animals is a well
known action and the necessity for ii
in the living creature is fully appre-
ciated.
The fact that plants and parts of
plants must also breathe is not so
commonly understood. Yet all living
cells, whether a part of animal matter
OF vegetable matter. must have oxygen
to keep them alive and they give up
carbon uIoxide and water as a result
of the action of the oxygen on some
of their contents. Parts of plants
not die at once, and must continue to
breathe. This is true, whether the
severed part is a leafy branch, a fruit
or a root; but some parts live much
longer after removal than others, and
the apple continues to breathe for
many weeks after 1t has been picked
from the tree.
The chief products of respiration are
the same in plants as in animals. name
ly carbon dioxide commonly called car
bonic acid-and water. These products
can be easily shown by placing one or
more apples in a glass jar and cover
ing it tightly. In a few hours a dewy
film will cover the inner surface of the
jar, that in time will collect into drops
which will tricrle to the bottom. On
opening the jar, a little clear lime
water may be poured into 1t without
touching the fruit and the lime-water
will be seen to turn milky, just as it
will il an animals breath is forced
through it.
The taking up of oxygen from the air
can also be readily shown by the fol-
lowing interesting experiment
In large basin partially filed with
water set small support on which s
placed an apple and a small open dish
containing a solution of caustic soda or
potash. The apple should not touch the
water nor the caustic solution. Cover
the support and it's contents by a large
bell glass or wide jar with its mouth
wholly in the water. Now as the apple

pErrs HARD ON LAND?

I once grew a crop OF mangles on a
perfectly rectangular piece OF land on
very fertile river bottom. The plot was
two acres. The remainder of the field
was in corn and red clover was sown
among the corn and among the beets.
There was a good stand among the
corn. none among the beets. The next
spring the beet land was well prepared
and sown to clover again, and IT germi-
mated, and grew about three inches high,
while all around was the rank growth
from that sown among tine corn and for
three years that rectangular plot was
conspicuous for the small growth upon
it.-R NJ B.

Respirat ton, whether in animals or ID
plants causes a destruction of matter
in the cells much like the destruction OF
wood, in a stove, and the rate at which
this destruction goes on can be measur-
ed by determining the amount of car

E. length of time.
Fruit, after having been picked from
the tree is in the condition OF a starv-
ing animal. It's cells still keep up res
piration with nothing in the way OF food
TO make good the losses produced by the
&C ion. Since apples and other fruits
have no body heat to maintain, Sne
breathing process is not so active as IN
animals. and they may last months att
er being picked frona che tree. Yet
there is a steady, continuous loss In
weight as the weeks go by, although
the fruit is SCUM. and firm.
Respiration is partly chemical re-
action and in apples, like most chemi-
cal recations in the laboratory, it grows
more rapid as the fruit becomes warm
er, and is slowed down when the fruit
is cooled.
1t is frequently the case that warm
days with temperatures of 20 degrees
occur late in the fall, and sometimes
continue for considerable period. Fan
cy apples intended for long keeping IN
cold storage should be cooled as soon as
possible and kept cold. The breathing
process is at the expense Of cell con-
tents and must weaken the keeping quail
tiles as it goes on. And this destruc-
tive action is from four to six times
as fast out of cold Storage as inside it.
Another fact in connection with the
respiration is important 1t is not
stopped in cold storage. but simply
slowed Apples cannot be kept inderi-
nitely. but keep about twice as long IN
storage as in a cool cellar.
