After the Hog is Dead.

Because a hog dies of hog chol-
era is no indication that it has
lost it's entire value for the farm
er. Cut it open. When one hog
dies, or is in a dying condition,
do not dispose of it until you
have examined it's organs and
tissues. 1t is worth somnthing
to know, at the time, that chole-
ra is present.
One word will tell you what
you will find, and that word is
hemorrhages. These hemorrhag-
es are pin point to pin head in
size, appearing as bright red
spots in the kidneys, intestines
and bladder. The hemorrhages
in the lungs are more extensive
for that structure permits the
blood to spread, in very acute
cases hemorrhages will show on
the walls of the heart. In cases
where the disease kills the hog
quickly, ulcers are not noted for
the hog dies before ulcers get
formed.
In the lungs, iniamed areas
are distinctly outlined. So much
so that one might conclude that
the hog died of pneumonia.
These spots are generally in
patches surrounded by healthy
looking lung tissue. In a typical
pneumonia case, however, a part
of the whole lobe is inlamed and
liver colored.

Kitchen Efficiency.

The commissariat of a modern
army should b. an example to
every American housewife. In
the army the ration is we'll bal
anced, the cheapest most nutri-
tious and palatable foods are
purchased, and the most econom-
ical means of preparing them are
used.
1t is a patriotic duty at this
time, whether there is war or
peace, for every American wo-
man, rich or poor, to keep her
home prepared" Home pre-
paredness means substitution of
cheap dishes for costly foods
when practical, elimination of
waste, and scientifically balanced
rations.
There are two great groups of
foods that enter into a balanced
human ration, the protein group,
like meats, eggs, and beans; and
the starch group, such as pota-
toes, rice, cereals, bread. etc.
The protein foods, as a rule, ara
more expensive than the starchy
foods. Some protein foods, how
ever, are cheap. The prime fac
tor in economy in feeds is the
choice of protein foods that are
at the same time cheap and pala-
table.
A cheap food, rich in protein
and fats, is the ordinary field
soy bean, often sold under the
name, Togo beam" Ten
cents worth at the price of fif-
teen cents a quart will supply
over five ounces of protein, while
average beef at twenty cents a
pound will supply little over one
ounce of protein for the same
money.
An excellent basis for soups
can be made from the water in
which most vegetables are boil
ed. The wat er in which soy
beans have been cooked. for ex-
ample, may be used to good ad-
vantage in making stock. Save
also vegetable tops, skimmilk,
bones and meat scraps for soup.

Don't depend on one kiud of

times as mudh fuel or energy

Urges Farmers to
Plant Food Supply.
TO the third group consisting
OF farmers themselves. your COM
mittee suggest:
First. That immediate plant
ing of food for present use of
themselves and live stock and
the planting of such surplus
crops as will secure an adequate
food supply for the coming year.
Plant to the limit of success your
seed supply and to secure equit-
ing by preference to the food
products with which the individ-
uals are most familiar. Plan
now for an Increased acreage in
wheat and other full grains for
the coming year.
Second. Guard most jealous
ly the seed supply for the coming
year. The neglect of saving on
the farm of sufficient seed may
defeat future planting and crop
production.
"3. Wherever surplus seed
for this planting exists arrange
to help and in every way assist
your more needy neighbor by
lending, to be returned in kind,
or by actual sale.
"A. Through your county or
ganiztions arrange to portect and
guard your seed supply and to Sc
cure equitable local distribution
of same. Each county should
see to it that sufficient seed is
maintained in the county for lib
eral planting this fall of wheat
and other. grains before any is
sold upon the open market.
IS. Make up an accurate es-
innate of food requirements of
your family and your live stock
and set aside bofore any sale of
surplus crop is made. 1t will
save freight congestion, delay
and unnecessary expense if pro-
ducts can be disposed of to ad-
vantage locally.
IS. All breeding animals
should be zealously conserved.
There is some question however,
of the advisability OF an undue
increase of meat animals that
will consume large amounts of
human food products, needed
particularly by those in the
trenches and upon the lines of
offense and defense.
81. Production of cotton and
Tobacco should be carefully con-
sidered and food production,
be given preference in all such
counties and we urge county or
ganizations where cotton and to-
bacco predominant to urge upon
the growers first the necessity
of food supply.
g. To secure for the tenant

landlords and the furnishing by
such landlords land free from
