Hog Killing Pointers
DR.. w. M. 6urson, Veterinarian, Geor-
gia State College OF Agriculture

Give hogs water but no feed for a
day before killing.
Bleed the hog with an eight-inch
straight-bladed knife.
Be sure bleeding is done before
scalding or the skin may be left too
red.
A heavy blow with an axe between
the eyes will stun the animal before
sticking.
The meat may spoil If the animal
is excited before killing, or the wealth.
er is warm afterwards.
Scrape as quickly and rapidly as
possible after scalding. The cold car
cass is hard to scrape well.
Bleeding will be finished more quick
~ if the animal lies on a steep slope
with its head down hill, or is suspend
ed by hind legs.
Keep the hog moving in the barrel.
If the animal is left pressed against
the barrel the hot water cannot get
at that part Of the carcass.
The Leader, enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1915-1921, 1915-12-15

Scraping is easier if a shoveIful of
hardwood ashes, lump of lime, some
concentrated I've or handful of soft
soap has been added to the water.
Use thermometer. Do not attempt
to scald with the water at above $50
degrees. A good scald can be obtain
ed at 40 degrees but it takes longer.
In opening the carcass, split the
pelvic bone between the hams with a
knife by cutting exactly in the center.
To open the breastbone with knife
cut little to one side of the center.
but do not let the point of the knife
get behind a rib.
Heavy hogs should be split down the
backbone SO as to allow thorough COOL
ing. The leaf fat should be removed
while the carcass is warm.
On very heavy hogs the shoulders
may be cut off and laid on table to
cool.
See that all meat is thoroughly cool
ed before putting in salt or brine.
If you wish directions for cutting,
curing and lard and sausage making,
apply to Veterinary Department, State
College of Agriculture.

Savings Incident To Proper
Storing Of Farm Machinery
L. c. Hart, Professor Of Farm Mechan-
les, Georgia State College
OF Agriculture

Before the winter sets in the ma
chinery of the farm should be un-
der shelter and at the first opportun-
ity the farmer should obtain some
thick black train oil costing from II
to Is cents per gallon, and apply this
to all polished surfaces of the ma
chinery. This can be done with a
mop stick.
1t is a known fact that the draft
of rusty pillow is twenty-five per
cent greater than one that has been
kept free from rust with proper oil
ing. The dirt, of course, adheres to
the rusted parts instead of shedding
with less friction over a smooth and
shining surface.
Care should be taken to exclude
dust from the bearings of all kinds
of machinery. This can best be done
by getting the oil there first. A lib
eral application of oil should, there
fore, be made to all bearings. If, in
the spring, when the machinery is
taken out for use, 1t is found that the
bearings are gummy, apply an oil that
is half kerosene and half machine oil
for the first half hour of operation
and then apply the regular machine
oil.

Probably there is more cDposit on

CLEANING UP FARM
KILLS CROP PESTS
J. Phil Campbell, Director OF Extern
sion, Georgia State College
OF Agriculture

According to entomologists, the prac-
tice of cleaning up the farm in the
fall and winter means the destruction
of crop pests that go into winter quar-
tiers in edges of fields, on banks of
streams, sides of roads, terraces and
all places where vegetation is left un-
disturbed.
The entomologists say that certain
plants left on the terraces or around
the edges of the field is to encourage
the existence of the red spider Also
that some other weeds foster the
bud worm beetle and other insects
that do damage to useful crops later
on. These same authorities have found
that the corn stalk borer which caus-
es "windfalls" of corn, makes his win
ter habitation among the roots and
stubble of the corn plant Likewise,
the corn ear worm stays from two to
two and hale inches below the sur
face in the corn and cotton fields
where the soil is not disturbed.
The boil weevil, of course, winters
over in weeds and rubbish on the
farm to some extent, and it is of
greatest Importance in holding this
greatest enemy Of cotton in check, to
clean up all Of its hiding places on
the farm.
No better time is to be found for
fighting insect enemies of the farm
than in the winter, when, by killing a
few, thousands of their offspring will
be prevented from coming into exist
ence later on.
Fall blowing and winter cover crops
get rid of most of the insect pests of
the field. This, with the cleaning UP
of the terraces, fence corners, banks
Of streams, ETC., constitute preventive
measures that mean much in saving
of crops later on.
In view of the fact that southern
soils require q great deal of vegetable
matter, one of the methods Of helping
to meet this requirement, while at
the same time combating the weevil
is to pick cotton early, cut down the
stalks and turn them under before the
first frost. This stops the food sup
ply of the weevil and stops the propa
cation of some of them.

BEEF CATTLE
PROSPECTS IN GEORGIA
~ p. Jarnagin, Professor of Animal
Hushandry, Georgia State Col
lege OF Agriculture

Feeding cattEe for beef during the
past two years has been fraught with
uncertainty because of unusual condi-
tions caused by the war, high cost of
feed stuffs and the foot and mouth
disease.
During the year 1914 the price of
feeders was higher than during the
4an of 1915. The reasons assigned
are that there are not so many buy
ers in the field because of the price
OF Toodstuff. Here in Georgia and
northern Florida there were many
western buyers during the fall of
ASIA. taking up thousands of cattle.
but during the fall of 1915 they did
not show up. AS consequence local
cattle are bringing less.
True, cottonseed meal is up, but
close figuring will reveal that the saw
ing in the buying price of the animal
As greater, at least that the time this
fs written. than the increased cost of
meal will amount to in a feeding pc.
x4od OF 30 to 100 days.
The fact that there are fewer cat
lie being fed for the market would
indicate good prices at marketing
time. In view of these considerations
1t Y'uld appear that this will be a
goc year to feed cattle for beef in
Geotgia. providing the farmer has

Potash Prospects
w. A. Worsham, Professor OF Aqri-
cultural Chemistry, Georgia State
College Of Agriculture

Many inquiries are being made as
to the prospects of obtaining potash,
in view Of the absence of the usual
supply from Germany. The indica-
cations are that the fertilizer dealers
are going to put on the market, for
the most part, a low grade potash.
Government Investigations of alunite
IN Utah has developed that it is a
practical source of potash, and some
OF the fertilizer dealers are already
making use of it.
MOI much progress has been made
IN obtaining potash economically from
reidspar for fertilizer purposes, nor
has there been very much obtain
ed from kelp of the western coast
From all these sources not enough
potash will be obtained 10 equal the
normal demand made upon Germany
and nothing at present indicates that
when the war ceases this country will
not again rely upon the German mines.
AS substitute for potash, the
farmer OF Georgia will find that cotton
seed meal. IL obtained at reasonable
price. may be associated With acid
phosphate and give good results.
About 1% per cent of the cottonseed
meal is potash. Considering that many
Georgia soils are not deficient in pot
ash. this combination may give as
much satisfaction, generally speak
ing. as could probably be hoped for
