BIRDS SPREAD HOG DISEASES
Crows and Buzzards Tear Flesh Of
Dead Animals and Carry Infec-
ton to Neighborng Farm.

Crows and buzzards are all right
where they belong, but they have no
place in the hog lot. The buzzards
especially are most excellent disease
spreaders. Wherever dead animal
of any kind lies exposed for any
length of time these scavengers will
soon appear. They use their strong
claws for tearing the flesh and when
they go to the next place carry pieces
of flesh and load of infection with
them. If an animal dies of some in
fectious disease and is left for the
buzzards to get at they are sure to
carry the germs to their next banquet
hall, probably some hog lot 20 miles
away.
Throughout the South they are pro-
tected because of their value as scav-
engers, and where they are found In
abundance hog cholera prevalls--if all
the hogs have not already died of.
The only way to fight this form of con-
tagion is to maintain such conditions
that buzzards and crows will not be
attracted.
The safe way to handle any animals
dying of contagious diseases Is to burn
them. If buried, dogs may dig them
up and carry germs all over the coun-
try on their feet.

BENEFITS OF FALL FLOWING

Insects Destroyed.

U3y J, L. HERS, Louisiana Experiment
Station) -
The soil is generally in better condi-
ton in the fall for blowing than In
the spring. Fall blowing gives a bet
ter texture to the soil and causes a
greater liberation of plant food due
to the action of the weather. BY turn
ing the organic or vegetable matter
under earlier 1t has, of course, more
time to rot and to become thorough
ly Incorporated with the soil.
Fall blowing causes many of the
weed seeds to terminate. thereby de-
creasing this pest the following spring.
Many insects are turned to the surface
and killed by the frosts.
The time for fall blowing should be
largely matter of convenience. The
heavier soils can be safely plowed
first. Land with great deal of vege-
table matter to be turned under should
be plowed early in order to give this
matter more time to rot. In the spring
there is not always time for the prop
err preparation of the soil, especially
where the crops are to be planted
early, so. it is good farm management
to do part of this preparation in the
fall.
1t isn't always the best plan to plOw
sandy lands in the fall unless they are
also seeded to cover crop, otherwise
there is apt to be much loss from
teaching and erosion. 1t is much more
important to put cover crop on sandy
soils than on heavy soils, especially
If the land is not entirely level.

Too many of us are like the young

Since the cost of living Is constantly
advancing it is vitality necessary that
real concern be paid to reducing GER
tain items of expenditure, and as
meat is one of the most expensive of
our foods, any economy in the pur-
chase of it will make a noticeable re-
duction in the food bill.
BY using meat substitutes of cheese,
nuts, milk and eggs which are less ex-
pensive but fully as nutritious, the ex-
penses may be reduced. Cheese has a
food value of twice that of meat pound
for pound, and can be used with much
less waste. The use of cheese in COM
bination with milk and eggs makes a
most satisfactory substitute for meat.
The cheaper cuts of meat may be
utilized more often and on the farm
all kinds of meat may be salted,
picked, canned or dried for future USE
So that in time of plenty prepare for

The utilizing of left-overs in the
planning of the meals is another i'm

slider. 1t goes without saying that she
plans her menus days ahead in order
to save expense and use these left
overs acceptably.
Fruits and vegetables lend them
selves to all sorts Of combinations as
salads and soups and make dishes
that are tasty and wholesome.
The costly habit of eating more than
we need is not only wasteful of mate
rial, bad on the complexion, but vast
ly more important, ruinous to the
digestive organs. Preparing more
food than is used. pairing away vege
tables and fruits, cooking vegetables
in SO much water that much of the
food value is wasted throwing away
the trimmings and bones of meat, that
would make good broths, stews or
soups-these are some of the wastes
that need to be watched. Constant
vigilance is the price of success in ex
penditures as in other things.

KEEPING MILK SWEET
Absolute Cleanliness the First
Great Essential.
II Kept on Ice Almost From Time Of
Milking There viii Be Little De-
veiopment Of Bacteria
Points for Cooling.
eBy w. R. wRIaHT.)

1t Is a well-known fact that milk
does sour. but not everyone is ac-
Quainted with the changes which take
place during the souring process. the
cause of these changes, and how TO
prevent them. A knowledge of the
changes which take place during the
period of souring. and their causes,
enables one, taking reasonable precau-
tons. to preserve milk In its naturally
sweet condition for q number of addi-
tional hours.
Milk contains a sugar, known as
milk sugar, which is changed by the
action of the smallest of plant forms,
called bacteria, into tactic acid. When
about one-half of one per cent of this
acid has been produced, the milk-curd
separates and forms solid mass with
clear acid whey about 1t. This acid
preserves the curd by preventing the
action of bacteria which would rot the
curd and produce offensive odors.
Two classes of bacteria begin to
grow and multiply in milk shortly aft
er milking; the tactic which sours the
milk, and the digesting which rots the
curd. The latter class is like the oat-
plant, in that 1t is able to grow at
a low temperature, while the Tactic,
like the compliant, grows best at the
higher temperatures.
Milk which is held at well-water
temperature will remain sweet for one
