over the sides and ends while the hog
is still hot. The head and feet should
be cleaned first, as they cool quickly.
Pull the ears through the hands to re-
move the bulk Of the hair. Grasp with
the hands the lower portions OF the
legs and twist to assist in cleaning
them. Use the "candlestick" scraper
for removing the skin and scurf from
the fiat surfaces and as much as pos
sible from the other parts and finish
the cleaning OF the entire carcass. re-
moving all hair, scurf and dirt by rims
ing with hot water and shaving with
the large knife.
Cut the skin on the side OF the ten
dons below the hook to expose the ten
d0ns so that a gambrel stick may be
inserted. The next step is to hang the
hog by his hind legs by means of the
gambrel stick high enough so that his
head clears the ground. Wash down
with hot water, shave over any unfin-
ished patches and wash the entire car
cass again to remove all loose hair and
scurf.
Occasionally a hog is killed that is
too large to scald in barrel. If 1t is
covered thickly with blankets or with
sacks containing a little bran and hot
water poured over 1t the hair will be
loosened readily. In some localities
hogs are skinned, but scalding is far
more satisfactory.
Directions For Removing Entrails.
In removing the entrails first split
the hog between the hind legs, sepa-
rating the bones with the knife. This
can easily be done If the cut is made
directly through the union of bones be-
tween the hams. Run the knife down
the center of the belly, shielding the
point with the fingers Of the left hand
and guiding 1t with the right. There is
little danger of cutting the intestines
in this way. Split the breastbone with
the knife or an ak and cut down
through the sticking place to the chin
Cut around the rectum and pull 1t down
until the kidneys are reached, using the
knife wherever necessary to sever the
cords attaching it to the bed" Re
move the sexual organs; then cut across
the artery running down the backbone,
cut around the diaphragm skirt and
remove the intestines, stomach and
''pluck"-that is, heart, liver and lungs
with backward and downward pull.
Grasping the mass Of organs near the
union to the backbone and diaphragm,
sever attachments with a knife where
necessary. In this operation the wind
pipe down to the head should be re-

moved with the pluck. Do not disturb
the kidneys or the leaf fat in carcasses
TO be shipped except In warm weather,
when the leaf" may be removed to al
low quicker and more thorough cool
ing. If the hog Is to be cut up on the
farm and not intended for shipment in
carcass form 1t is advisable to loosen
the leaf fat from the abdominal wall.
allowing 1t to remain attached to the
carcass at the ham end. Open the jaw
and insert a small block to allow free
drainage then wash out all blood with
cold water and sponge out with
coarse cloth. In hot weather the back
bone should be split to facilitate cool
ing. 1t is good practice to do this also
where the hog is to be cut up on the
farm and not intended for shipment
The fat should be removed from the
intestines before they get cold. Since

mixed with the leaf fat in rendering.

CARE OF PULLETS
FOR WINTER EGGS

AS pullets approach maturity they
should be SO managed that they will
begin laying at the right time in the
fall, which is usually the latter part
Of October or early November. Ac-
cording to Professor III. r. Lewis of
the New Jersey experiment station, it
is desirable to get them into permanent
winter quarters early. This gives the
poultryman a chance to study the liz
dividuals and to Gull any undesirable
ones, thus producing a uniform flock
It also gives the birds time to get
used to their new quarters before time
to start laying. :.
1t also enables the poultryman to
watch carefully by feeding and con-
troll the growth and maturity Of birds
If the fowls are maturing too quickly
he can check them slightly by a differ
ent method of feeding, or If he wishes
to force them slightly before cold
weather begins to get them in good
laying condition he can increase his
protein feeding stuffs. 1t enables him.
to bring his pullets into laying condi.-

The Mississippi.

According to John Fiske, it was In
the year 1919, 101 years before the
Mayiower reached Plymouth rock, that
the Mississippi was seen by the eyes
Of white man. Says Fiske: Proof
was already at hand that Florida was
not an island, for In 1919 Alvarez de
Pineda had followed that coast as far
as the site of Tampico, In Mexico.
where he found Cortes and his men,
Pineda then turned back and after
awhile entered the mouth Of the Mis-
sissippi, which he called Rio de Santa
Espiritu. He seems to have been the
first European to sail upon this great
river. How far he assembled is not
clear, but he spent six weeks upon its
banks trading with Indians"

Breed Ewes Late.

Considering that prices for market
lambs are good now at all seasons Of
the year, it is really better under or
binary farming conditions to breed
ewes rather late In the fall, so that
the lambs will arrive during the mild
weeks of spring, when the ewes are
out in the open and on green pasture.
Less grain feed will be required for
the ewes to furnish a full flow of milk;
hence the cost Of growing the lambs
to market size will be less

Hens In Cold Weather.

When the first cold weather begins
the hens should be fed little whole
grain each morning-not full feed, just
enough to keep the hens hungry. After
this give them drink of warm skim
milk or buttermilk; then follow with
warm, clean water. Give them free
range II the weather will permit. Feed
some kind Of foodstun at noon. If cab
bage Is available no other feed will be
necessary. The hens will relish raw
beets, turnips, mangels and apples
These may be fed more economically
when chopped into small bits.

Sheep on the Farm.

1t would seem that the average
farmer has neither the skill nor the
inclination to take up sheep raising. A
writer in the Live Stock World sug-
gests the thought that until the WON
en- of the farm divide their attention
between poultry and the small farm
flock sheep will have an inconspicuous
place in live stock husbandry on our
corn belt farms.
