SAVE THE HOGS. THEY
WILL BE MUCH NEEDED
Some Facts About the Use and Abuse
Of Hog Cholera Serum-Sanitary
Measures Are Necessary.

The cry Of the nation, and Of the
world, today, is for food and yet NOR
food; and anyone who can, in any
way, conserve and increase the food
supply OF the people at this time is a.
true patriot.
To suggest that we should save our
hogs, at any time, but more especially
in the country's present crisis, may
seem quite uncalled for, or even ri
diculous. However, there are one or
two points In this connection which
may be overlooked, and will bear
stressing.
The first is with reference to the
use and abuse of serum. Serum, as
every hog owner knows, is a valuable
protective agent against hog cholera,
the demand for which seems to be on
the increase; and from all accounts.
the State serum plant is having all
It can do to meet the requests for Sc
rum that come to it.
The intelligent and judicious use OF
serum is all right, and is to be COM
mended. But may there not be some
hog owners who order serum when
not really needed, or order quantities.
far in excess of what they actually re-
quire at the time? II so, and we think
It not improbable, it means waste
Of serum, and is probably depriving
others of it's use on account of a tenn
| ~h4e - of c,,nr1xy fhornhv
occasioned.
In intelligently conserving the Sc
rum supply, therefore, it means COLI
serving and increasing the peoples
food supply in hogs.
On the other hand. the one who.
through the wasteful use, or abuse. OF
serum, deprives some one else of its
use in trying to save his hogs, is not
only not aiding conservation, but the
very opposite.
The second point Is, the adoption OF
strict sanitary measures in connec.
ton with hog cholera. The man who
does not effectually destroy his chol.
erarinfected carcasses, but permits
them to lie around exposed to be the
means of spreading infection to his
own still healthy hogs, and to his
neighbours herds, is surely not using
his best efforts to conserve and In
crease the hog supply. and, therefore
the food supply of the people in hogs
and hog products.
And the same may be said with re
gard to thorough disinfection Of chol
era-infected premises, ETC., in order tic
destroy infection and keep it from
spreading and killing more hogs with
! cholera.
In other words, the man who uses
every eendeavor to save the lives Of
his own hogs, and those of his neigh
bors, is a patriot in the truest sense
OF the term, as he is showing that he
Is trying his best to conserve and in
crease the nations food supply in
hogs.
There are many ways in which we
can display our patriotism; and this
is most important one which should
not be overlooked by our hog owners
at this time of the country's stress

TABLE POULTRY WILL
RELIEVE MEAT SHORTAGE
Chicks May Be Hatched and Reared
At Any Time-Foods For Fat
tening Fowls.

The production of table poultry is q
means by which many individuals can
do a great deal toward averting the
threatened meat shortage.
Table poultry is produced largely
as by-product from flocks where egg
production is the main object. Al
though early spring matches are nee
essary to produce good fall and win
ter layers, chickens for table use can
be profitably Matched and reared at al
most any time Of year.
Keep the growing chicks comforta-
BILE at all times. This is the only
method that will give the best results.
A chick once checked, or stunted, dur
ing it's growing period will never
make as good development as the
chick which is kept growing steadily
at its normal rate.
Chicks that are Matched during the
hotter portions Of the year should be
provided with ample shade, clean and
cool water, and fresh, succulent green
feed. The very young chick cannot
stand as much exposure to the hot
sun as can the earlier Matched and
partly feathered chick.
The medium, or heavy breeds, such
as the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte,
Rhode Island Red, Orpington, etc., are
f, best suited for table poultry produc-
ton The cockerels from these breeds
may be caponized when they weigh a
pound and half to two pounds and
then fed for continued growth to the
six or eight pound stage, or even
larger.
The light, active breeds, such al
Leghorns and the Creole can be
| used profitably for the production OF
broilers or small flyers. Owing to
their nervous, active disposition they
increase in weight very slowly after
reaching the pound and half to two
and half pound stage, and it is rare
ly profitable to keep them beyond that
point.
From standpoint OF economy, poul-
try is not ready for consumption until
It has been fattened, or finished"
The finishing should be done by the
grower. A simple method is to con-
fine the birds to small yard for about
two weeks and feed them on corn
| chops soaked in sour SKINNED milk,
giving three feeds day and all they
will eat. Where milk is not obtaina.
BILE, the following may usually be sub
stituted with satisfactory results
Wheat bran, part; cottonseed meal,
parts; corn meal, 10 parts; and wa
ter enough to make a mixture Of
creamy consistency.-A. F. Rolf, Live

THE BERRY CROP
SHOULD BE SAVED
Wild Fruits Of Many, Kinds Annually
Go To Waste in Louisiana.

BY utilizing to greater extent the
wild fruits, such as dewberries, black.
berries, huckleberries, nuts and mus
cadines, that are produced in abund.
ance in Louisiana and that largely 60
to waste, an immense saving in food
products could be effected. The
blackberry crop is of particular i'm.
portance. They grow in profusion in
abandoned fields and along the road
sides and are usually free for the
gathering. Berries may be easily pre-
served by following the simple direc-
tons here given:
Preserving Berries.
Practically the same methods are
to be followed in preserving and maxi
ing jams of all berries. Berries should
be gathered in shallow trays or .bas-
kets and not in deep vessels. which
allow them to be bruised and crushed.
They should be uniform, ripe. and
sound. Select only large, firm berries
for preserving: the smaller and brok-
en- ones may be used for making jam.
All berries should be carefully sorted
and lightly washed by placing in a
colander and pouring water over them
rather than putting them into pan
of water.
To retain the best possible color
and flavor, syrup for preserved berries
should be made of berry juice OBJ
tanned by crushing, heating and
straining the softer, broken berries.
Add l pint Of sugar to each pint Of
berry juice and allow to boil 10 min.
utes. Weigh the choice perfect Der.
ries after removing the caps or stems
and allow l pound of sugar extra for
each pound of whole berries. Add the
extra sugar to the syrup, bring to a
boil and skim. Remove from the fire
and cool syrup before dropping the
berries into it to prevent shriveling
and toughening the fruit. Place over
the IRE and bring slowly to boil and
simmer until the berries are heated
through, being careful not to over.
cook; the berries should remain
whole. Lift the berries from the
syrup and place carefully into shall
low pans. Pour syrup over them and
allow to stand over night. Pack cold.
filling the jar with berries before pour
ing syrup over them. Cap, process.
and seal. The preserves may be pack
ed hot, after removing from the fire.
capped and processed immediately.
The syrup in which berry preserves
are packed should have density of 50
to SIS and will often need to be boiled
down to this density after removing
berries.
Other recipes for canning and pre-
serving fruits and vegetables may be
obtained by addressing the Junior Elk.
