CARE OF BOAR

After the close of the spring breeding season, the boar should be kept over the summer as cheaply as possible. Maintain him in good, hard, thrifty, breeding con dision by giving him an oportunity to exercise and by feeding him largely on pasture and forage crops.
 A mature boar, if heavily grain fed. has a great tendency to fatten. The boar should be well fed, but not fat as too high condition makes him inactive, a slow breeder and a rather uncertain sire.
 The boar needs little attention during the summer. Provide shelter, shade and fresh. clean water supply. and he will almost care for himself. Pasture is the best as well as the cheapest feed. It furnishes abundance of nutrients, Is pala table and keeps the boar's system in good physical condition
 Permanent pastures are among the best and certainly require the least attention The clovers. blue grass, Bermuda, alfalfa, all make excellent pastures and furnish grazing during a long season. If these are not available, small plots of several temporary pasture crops may be used: for example, rape. peas and oats peanuts velvet beans, sorghum, cowpeas and soy beans. By using any of these forage crops the boar can be maintained over the summer with very small amount of grain, while if they were not used sev- eral pounds of grain per day would be required. On pasture, feed only enough grain to keep the boar in breeding con- dition- Very often, on good pasture, none will be required. Guard against feeding too much grain and getting the boar too fat
 The boar should be confined to a pad- dock and not run with the rest of the herd, If he is with another boar, they are apt to fight. and if he is placed with the breeding herd. the sows will farrow at indefinite dates. It would be impos- sihle under these conditions to keep rec ords of the time of service, and no pro vision could be made to care for the SOW previous to farrowing
 In summer keep the boar thrifty but not too fat; use pastures to attain this end and to reduce the cost of feeding to a minimum.

METHOD I

Free the meat from the bone, and cut it in pieces of such a size that they will go into the jars easily. Pack the raw meat solidly into tested clean glass jars, filling the jars to within three-fourths inch from the top. Sprinkle over the top of the meat
 one-half teaspoonful of salt for each pint of meat. Add no water. Celery leaves, onion, pepper or other season. ings may be added if desired. Ad- just on the jar a new rubber of good quality. Place the cover on the top of the jar and adjust. but do not fasten the upper wire clamp, or if a mason jar is used partly screw on in tightly covered container such as wash boiler or sap bucket, in which there is warm water that reaches to within about one inch from the tops of the jars. Sterilize the meat by cooking it for from four to five hours, beginning to count the time when the water around the jars reaches the boiling point. A steam cooker is particularly convenient for this process, and pressure canner reduces the sterilization period, but wash boiler or sap bucket answers the purpose satisfactorily. Before re- moving the cans from the steriIizer complete the sealing of each jar by adjusting the lower wire of the clamp or, in the case of a mason 1@r, by

CORNMEAL BREAD

It is imperative that the supply of wheat flour should be conserved. Meals and Hours made from grains other stitutes for wheat by the committee on utilization and economy. state council of defense.
 Americans are addicted to the use of the light. fluffy loaf made of high grade patent white flour. For eco homie and patriotic reasons, taste for the coarser, darker, but no less wholesome breads should be acquired. With housekeepers all over the country saving few cups of flour, the nation will be able to conserve supply of wheat that will help win the war.
 Corn bread may be made with yeast by using three cups corn meal, two cups whole wheat or white flour. two cups milk, two cups water. two table spoons molasses, two tablespoons shortening, one tablespoon salt and one yeast cake.
 Heat t; milk and water to boiling. Add to it slowly one cup corn meal, and stir until it thickens. Put these ingredients over pan of hot water or in a double boiler and cook for half an hour.

PINKEYE IN CATTLE

.Pinkeye" of cattle is common dis ease especially during summer months. and sometimes results in to- tai blindness It is undoubtedly infec- tious, and is believed to spread from one animal to another through the medium of flies. The disease runs it's course in 10 days or two weeks. al : fecting one or both eyes.
 A profuse flowing of tears Is the first evidence of the attack The ami nal keeps the eye constantly closed for it is very sensitive to light Grad- uaIly film seems to form over the eye and the ball becomes clouded.
 Care at this time is very necessary and may save the animal from blind ness. Confinement in a comfortable stall with all light excluded is the best Laxative food will put the animal in good condition to ward off compii- cations If flies are allowed to irrf- tate the sore eyes they will probably spread the infection to other animals
 Bathing the eyes in a strong solu- tion of boric acid is a treatment cas- fly applied and generally effective. A better method is to place a few drops of the following mixture in the eyes with a dropper. One-half grain of zinc sulphate. 10 grams of boric acid and one ounce of distilled water.

MUST PRODUCE MORE PORK

The quickest and surest way of aug menting the meat supply next to the raising of poultry is by raising hogs, the United States department of agri- culture points out. The hog is the most important animal to raise for meat and money. He requires less labor, less equipment. less capital, makes greater gains per 100 pounds of concentrates and reproduces himself faster and in great CT numbers than any other domestic anil maj. As consumer of by-products the hog has no rival No other animal equals the lard hog in it's fat storing tendency. The most satisfactory meat for shipping long distances on train. boat, or wagon, and for long storage after reaching it's destination is mess pork. There is no animal which produces more meat and meat products than the hog.
 Pork finds ready sale because packers have discovered many ways of placing pork on the market in attractive and highly palatable form combined with most excellent keeping qualities. There is no other meat from which so many products are manufactured. Very near 50 per cent of the total value. in dollars and cents, of the meat and meat products slaugh- tered in the packing houses of the Unit ed States is derived from the hog. Our country leads by far all countries in the production as we'll as in the consumption of meat and meat products. Three-fourths of the worlds international trade in pork and pork products originates in the United States in normal times. and the war has increased this proportion Ac- cording to the estimates there was an in crease of 9,5S0.000 hogs between 1910. the census year, and 1916. inclusive. The in crease at the end of 1915 was s.14S.0oo over the preceding year, while it is estimated that there was decrease at the end of 1916 of s1s.ooo hogs compared with 1915.

Record Market Price

The highest price ever paid on the St Louis market for cattle from the south was paid last month for Aberdeen-Angus grade steers that were bred, raised and marketed by Walker H. Hurdle, Holly Springs Miss. one of the most success 1ul live stock men in the south One load of his steers sold at s12.50 which was a new high price for southern cat tie and the top of the market for all fuH loads of cattle on the day of the sale. MT. Hurdle marketed two loads of cattle, which were declared by many to he the geratcst lot of southern cattle ever seen on the St. Louis market The average weight of the steers was 1150 pounds They were two-year-olds. out or common cows, and sired by pure-bred Aberdeen Angus bulls
 MT. Hurdle sold a lot of hogs from his farm at the same time he soid the cattle. The hogs brought 16 cents, which were sold. The hogs had practically been raised on alfalfa, with little corn
 Regarding the sale of cattle by MT. Hurdle the National Live Stock Repor- ter said:
 This goes to show that Mir. Hurdle is quite a successful breeder also a very successful feeder inasmuch as this is the third consecutive year he has carried off the honors and topped tho market on southern cattle
 MT. Hurdle has one of the largest herds of pure bred Angus cattle in the south. 350 head. It goes to show what the Angus catle are doing for the state or Mississippi as we'll as all the south where they are given any attention at all
 MT. Hu1dle was here in person and was very well pleased with results The cattle were 2-year-olds wintered on en- silage and about three pounds of meal per day from November IS to March 1, and from that time on they were on a ration of cob meal, cotton seed meal, ensiage and a little hay. They also had access to wheat fields through March and April and made liberal gains''

meat to foreign peoples as well as our own people,-every farmer must put forth the best effort to produce more hogs Hogs can be kept profitably upon many farms where they are not found today. Farmers who already raise hogs can pro- duce many more, for there is not much chance of producing meat this year in ex- cess of the requirements.
 More dairy farmers should raise hogs for they fit in especially well upon dairy farms where skim milk. buttermilk, or whey is fed upon the farm. A man who has skim milk is in a better position to raise pigs than a man who has none.

HOG NOTES

Oats are good for breeding stock and shoats. but not for fattening stock. Too much fiber in them.
 Be careful that the boar cleans up all the grain fed him. And give him chance to stretch his limbs all he wants to.
 man robs himself when he keeps hogs or pigs in wet pens.
 Filthy water or swill ought never to be put into any hogs stomach.
 Arrange the troughs so as to put tho feed in from the outside.
 It is a sorry sight to see man with club keeping lot of hungry pigs out of trough while trying to give them feed.

ORCHARD NOTES

Some folks seem to think that nice little fringe of growing sprouts about the base of an apple tree looks pretty That may be their taste. but those sprouts are sucking life out of the tree. Out with them!
 After rain and before a hard crust forms. is tho ideal time to harrow an orchard.
 If there arc any tent-caterpillars on your trees. give them . quick singeing with torch.
 stony side-hill. sloping toward the north. taken out of an old COW pasture. is the best orchard we ever had.
 Crafts need looking after. Are they all alive and well? See that no insect pest gets after them. They are very tender and lies arc especially apt to trouble them.

CANNING MEATS AT HOME

screwing the top tight. Keep the jars in a cool. dark place.
 METHOD II
 Scar the meat in a hot oven, in hot fat, or in boiling water, and steam 1t or simmer it until it can be torn apart. Pack the meat into the jars, fill the space with stock and add one- half teaspoonful of salt to each pint of meat Sterilize the meat for three hours as in method 1. Unless the meat is first Drowned it does not have so good flavor as that of raw meat steamed in the can.
 CANNED CHICKEN
 Chicken may be successfully canned by either of the two methods sug- gested. Canning surplus cockerels that have reached the proper size does away with the necessity of feeding and caring for them during the win ter months. A fowl weighing two pounds when dressed should make a pint can of solid meat and pint of stock thick enough to jelly. A fowl weighing three pounds should fill one and one-half pint cans
 CHICK FEN STOCK
 All bones and trimmings of the chicken should be covered with cold water. salted and slowly simmered un- til the flesh drops in shreds from the bones and the liquid. or stock, is concentrated Seasoning. such as onion and bit of celery leaf may be added. Strain the stock. if desired. reheat it. and boil for 10 minutes. Pour it into sterilized jars and sterilize it as de. scrfbed under method 1 for one hour on each of two successive days

the fright he threw into J. H. Smith
wick yesterday afternoon at a late
hour when he ran down and halted an
automobile filled with whiskey and
effected the arrest of a negro named
Anthony Hunter, charging him with
having the liquor in his possession.
Il was stated that Hunter was on his
way to the northern part of the coun-
ty, and there, it is thought, intended
to dispose of the liquor. Two un-
broken cases of whiskey and another
lot were found in the negro's auto.
He was placed in the county jail.
Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Van
Pelt expected two blood hounds to ar
rive on the afternoon train from
South Carolina. Mr.. Smithwick is
some dog fancier, and the sheriff en-
listed the company of the gentleman
named, to receive the dogs were
they to have been on the train. The
dogs did not arrive, and then the
sheriff decided to take his friend out
for little ride in the suburbs

road they came near an auto driven
by a negro, which Immediately at
tempted flight. The sherif7's suspic-
ions were aroused and he proceeded
to overhaul the car. Before the race
ended, the cars we're between Could

fiscated.

Measure Taken Up And On
Reconsideration Was
Voted Down

LAW IS AMENDED
State Orphanage Proposed
In Bill By Senator
Calkins
Tallahassee Bureau,
The Pensacola Journal.

Tallahassee, May 8.-Aside from a
short debate on the reconsideration
Of the vote by which the house bill
permitting the reading of the Bible
in the public schools passed the SEN
ate, the upper branch of the legisla
ture was without special features,
the day being devoted to a special
calendar of house bills.
The Bible reading measure was a
special order, and upon reconsidera-
ton, short speeches were made
against it on the grounds that it in
trCduced scatarian sm into the public
school for which persons of all re-
iGious beliefs paid taxes, and sent
their children. Other points made
against it were that it is q negative
law, permitting something which it
is not now unlawful to do, and lis
possible unconstituti0nality.
Senator Crawford, the oldest man
on the floor, championed the measure
again, ridicuIing the arguments
against the bill and claiming that
some were based on ignorance. The
latter part of his argument was based
on the value OF the book and its neces-
sity to education. The bill was de-
featad by almost the same vote by
which it passed Friday.
The house bill providing for the
monthly payment of pensions passed
/ the senate and became a law. Other
measures were Of chiefly local inter-
est.
When house bill No. :, by Mr.
Johnson, of Escambia, providing for
T free school books in Escambia county
/ was called, Senator Jones offered a
substitute, which changed the orig
inal only in that it provides for a
special election, bv which the voters
] Of the county shall determine whether
/ books shall be given away.
! The passage of Cartons free
school book bill makes local meas
urcs Of this kind almost unneces-
/ sary, as it is q general law. allowing
! any county in the state, by special
election, to decide whether books
/ shall be given away, rented, or sold
, but also that no books shall be giver
/ to any one grade or grades until they
are given to all others.
! The senate adjourned until tomor
row at 10 o'clock.
Orphanage Bill.

ate this morning the most importer n
was one by Senator Calkins providing

ernor, to hold office for four years
