BOOK PUBLICATION

WASHINGTON. Sept. "a % per

The reduction will be based on the av-
erage of three years from January /,
1916, to June 80, 1918.

bonds were only S457, 100000,
or 2 1-2 per cent of their assets.
These figures are taken by
the Treasury Department to in
dicate that Liberty bonds have
been taken largely by indivi-
dual investors and are being
held by them.
The Comptroller of the Cur
rency has no jurisdiction over
and makes no reference to the
banks of the country other
than the national banks, but it
is believed that an investiga-
ltion would show that most of
the other banks were equally
active in the loans.
Secretary McAdoo, in speak
ing of the work of the banks
for the various loans, made no
distinction between national
and other banks in praising
their efficient assistance and
cooperation, and he has ex-
pressed the hope and belief
that in the coming loan they
will continue the policy which
has been of such tremendous
service to the Treasury and the
country.
1t is well known, however,
to quote further from Secre-
tary McAdoo's statement re-
garding the banks.
"The loan must have the
support of the people of Amer
lea. The support of the banks,
great as their support is, and
welcome as it is, and splendid
as it has been, is not enough
alone to carry the burden. e.. -
The only true way to finance
this war is to sell the Liberty
bonds to the people of the Uni
ted States. The more people
who buy, $50 bonds, 500
bonds, the better it is for Am
erica and more discouraging it
is for our enemies"

ARMY MAKES RECORD MEAT
PURCHASE

The largest single order for bacon
and canned meats in the history of
the world-99. $50, 900 pounds Of bacon
and 134,00O,OO0 pounds of canned
meat-has just been placed by the
Quartermaster's Department, u. S. A.,
for the American Army overseas.
Louis F. Swift, on commenting on
this, recently, said the order will take
the bacon from approximately 1900
900 hogs, and If other work were
dropped to produce it would be equiv
alent TO the total bacon production
o. the five largest Chicago packers
for nearly five weeks, however, six
months will elapse before delivery is
to be completed.
Mr.. Swift said; AT the current
prices on the day, last week, when the
purchase was made, the packers
would pay the live stock producers
about $SO,O00,OO0 for the necessary
hogs and over s5O,OOO.0OO for about
100000 cattle required.

TO AGRICULTURAL CLUB MEM
BERS RAISING PIGS
Robert F. Spence,
County Agent

One Of the most important re-
quirements of successful hog rails
ing is sanitation or cleanliness. A
hog kept in filthy, uncleanly quart
ers cannot remain in the best OF
health nor gain in weight very
rapidly and at low cost.
Do not attempt TO keep your pig
in small pen or lot, as it is almost
impossible TO keep such a place
clean. The ordinary hog wallow,
which is simply a hole in the
ground, can and should be avoided,
if plenty of good drinking water and
shade are provided. In many cases
contagious diseases have been trans
mitted from a sick hog 10 others in
the herd through the mud wallow.
Many hog breeders, however, have
found the concrete wallow, which
can be kept clean, very satisfactory.
The hog house should be Of such
a kind that it can be kept clean
easily. Some people prefer a board
floor in the house, but a dirt floor
is very satisfactory, if properly
cared for. II is especially impOr-
tant that house having a dirt floor
be located on rather high place
so that water will drain away from
it. IL is a good plan TO dig a shall
low ditch around the house 10 carry
away water. The dirt from this
ditch should be thrown into the
house. spread out evenly, and packed
down. The floor should then be
oiled with crude petroleum. Re-
peat the oiling as often as neces-
sary TO prevent dust in the house.
At frequent intervals Stacked lime
should be scattered over the floor.
This is a disinfectant and helps 10
keep down odors.
The house should be so built and
located that sunlight can get into
il. Sunlight kills germs and aids
in sanitation. The house should be
cleaned out and the walls white
washed inside or disinfected with
some other material, every month
or six weeks. This will destroy
germs and lice.
Clean, fresh drinking water Is
another necessity. Arrangements
should be made that the pig cannot
lie in the drinking water. II the
pig is watered in a trough, cross

HOLES IN ROADS

Department of Public Roads,
Frankfort, KY.

dhhlois, n.y.
A road is the means of transport
tation and upon the condition OF
the surface depends the cost Of
transporting materials. A great
many people think that when a
road is once built that it will stand
for all time and do efficient work
without any repairs but such is
not the case. Railroads, rivers.
harbOrs and canals are patrolled,
and inasmuch as the highways are
subjected 10 more severe traffic
than either Of the above it stands
to reason that they should receive
constant attention. Besides, IL the
road is not smooth, not only is the
cost Of hauling increased but We
hicles are caused 10 deteriorate
most rapidly.
Consider for example large hole
in a road. Every one knows that
when automobiles, wagons and bug
gies pass over holes that consider
able damage is done. Suppose that
the damage 10 an automobile is only
one cent and that there were one
hundred automobiles over the road
in a day. The damage TO the auto
mobiles alone from that one hole In
one day is 800. Suppose there are
fifty such holes 20 the mile OF road
Then the damage would be s5c.O0
per day or $3.50 per month, and for
twelve months in the year the dam
age TO the automobiles alone pass
ing over a mile Of such road would
be $4,000. which is a sufficient sum
Of money 10 build in its entirety a
mile Of road and use an excellent
grade Of materials. II might not
be necessary 10 rebuild the road,
and in that event il certainly
should be maintained.
II would seem 10 me that IL Is
now high time that steps be taken
TO at least see that all the holes in
the roads are kept filled. One way
would be TO appoint a patrolman on
all the main roads in the county.
| cannot believe that we will very
much longer be willing 10 see each
day thousands Of dollars worth OF
damage done TO property.
The proposition is worth serious
thought.

CANNING CORN
II You Have Failed, Read This

Some complaints have reached
this office, stating that corn canned
| during last summer soured, and
others have said that they could not
can corn at all, because IL would
not keep. Several requests have
come for a reliable recipe for can
ming corn. The following recipe
is absolutely reliable and is approved
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. Last year, canned
sixty quarts of corn in this manner,
and not one Jar spoiled, or even
smelled sour.
First of all. corn must be selected
at just the right stage. IL must be
fully ripe, but neither under-ripe
nor ovcr-ripe. All that is necessary
is just little experience in selecting
the ear, and ability 10 recognize
corn that is just between the milk
and the dough stages. Corn that
has a white sediment at the bottom
Of the can, after having been Jared
for some time, had reached the
dough stage, and under-ripe corn is
milky corn. Neither kind is so ap-
petizing when opened for table
use, but both kinds will often keep.
If other rules have been observed,
but either the !doughy or milky
corn is liable to sour.
First Step
Secure perfectly well developed
corn. husk, remove silks and put into
boiling water and boil from ten TO
fifteen minutes. Remove and plunge
into cold water.
Reason.-The first cooking Of the
corn prevents the appetizing juices
NJ the corn from being removed,
which happens 10 be the case when
the corn is cut Immediately from
the cob and packed into the jars.
The first boiling also kills many Of
the destructive bacteria, causes the
color cells 10 become active. and
the ilavoring juices to flow. plung-
ing the corn Immediately into cold
water causes the color TO become
set and stops the action Of the cells.
thus saving the juice Of the corn
when il is cut from the cob.
Second Step
Remove the corn from the cold
water at once. do not let il remain
more than two minutes, then cut IL
from the cob and pack II into the

A WAR CALL

Our County, Rockcastle County
needs more sheep. The United
states has a million fewer sheep
than when the war opened. The
world is short 5i,OOO,OOO sheep. The
need of wool is constantly increas-
ing. Our Army needs more wool
every day. Ii requires the wool
from 20 sheep 10 clothe one soldier.
Sheep will give you two crops each
year-wool and lambs.
The most effective Dog Law in the
United States now protects you
against the sheep-killing dog. Live
sheep are worth more than ever be-
fore. The price of wool is good and
fixed.
IL is your patriotic duty 10 raise
sheep and help clothe one soldier,
if you can't clothe one entirely. In
vestment in sheep is a sound bust
ness. sheep are an asset 10 your
community. They restore soil fer
tility, are very profitable, and sup
ply necessities TO our people.
Remember
That when you fail TO respond, when
called upon, you cannot call your
self q Patriotic American.
A Suggestion
If you have ewes and eve lambs,
and must sell, be sure and find some
one in the County who wants sheep
there are a number of farmers
in our county who want sheep. Our

H. I. Young is secretary, will help

they are very injurious, particular
ly to growing pigs. Pigs kept il

filthy troughs and lying in unsani-
tary hog wallows, very quickly be-
come infected. The coat of the pig

not thrive or grow well, there will
be a tendency to rub the root Of the
tail against posts and trees, and
worms may be passed in the dung,
The following treatment is good for
Kidding hogs of worms:

preparation to the hog in a rather
thin slop:
SantOin. .............3 grains

Arecanut. .............i dram
BicarbOnate of soda, . drains
This constitutes a dose for a 100
pound hog, and must be varied ac-
cording to the weight of the hog TO
be treated.
Another common and serious par
aste infesting hogs is the hog louise.
This louise lives on the body of the
hog and lays its eggs or ''nits" on
the hair. 1t sucks the blood from
the hog and causes great irritation
of the skin. Due TO the loss OF
blood and the irritation, the vital
ity of the hog is lowered. The ir-
ritation causes the hog TO rub
against trees and posts, and to kill
the lice, advantage should be taken
Of this habit. Soak a burlap sack
in crude petroleum, or some other
cheap, heavy oil, and wrap the sack
around a tree or post where the
hogs are accustomed 10 rub, tying
the sack in place. When the hogs
rub aginst this. the oil will get on
the lice and kill them. From time
to time more oil must be poured be-
tween the sack and post, which will
soak into the sack and maintain the
supply. A contrivance Of this kind
is much cheaper and just as eff
fective as a commercial hog oiler,
which would cost from five 10 ten
dollars. If you have only one hog,
however, it will be cheaper to ap-
ply the oil with a brush. since by
he other method considerable would

Reasons.-Corn should not lay in
cold water because IL absorbs water
and loses mineral salts; haste should
be used in packing the corn that
none Of these salts should be lost.
Boiling water should be used, be-
cause il is more sterile, that is,
purcr. and salt should be used for

has keeping qualities. II takes the
place Of canning powders without
being injurious.
In the first place. canning powders

place, one is liable 20 use too much
and thus destroy the natural flavor

one may depend too much on the
