GOOD HOG FEED FROM WASTE
Utilization Of Garbage Possible In
Production Of Pork and Fats
During War Period.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Feeding garbage to hogs is in keep
ing with the national movement for
the utilization of waste products and
for increasing the production of pork
and fats, at least during the war.
There is reason to believe, how
ever, that many of these emer-
gency enterprises will prove to be
sufficiently remunerative to remain
permanent after the war, especially If
hogs are fed on garbage from cities of
10000 OIL more, from which, doubtless,
the garbage will be disposed or and
utilized in this n Already this
method of feeding has produced good
results, and many who have entered
the field probably would not have en-
gagged in the production Of pork under
any other conditions, owing to the

Many of the nght-diffusing devices

bration may loosen the glasses in their
rims so that the whole lens creeps
around and the diffusing properties
are lost. Some Of these glasses have
a means of anchoring them firmly in
place, but others have not, and 1t is
up to the car owner to see that they
are properly in place. Screws may
be used for fastening them, and a lock
washer should be inserted under each
Of them.

Selection Of Breed.

Be ure that the male at the head
Of the flock is p%urebred.
The Mediterranean or egg breeds
are: Leghorns, Minorcas, Spanish,
Blue Andalusians, and Anconas.
The American or general purpose
breeds are: Plymouth Rocks, Wyan-
dottes, Javas, Dominiques, Rhode Is
land Reds, and Buckeyes.
The Asiatic or meat breeds are:
Brahmas, Cochins, and Langshans.
The English breeds are: Dorkings,
Orplngtons, and Redcaps.
For farm use the American breeds
are probably. the best.
Purebred poultry means uniformity
Of products.
Uniformity of products means in
creased profits, If products are prop
erly marketed.
Given the same care and feed, pure
bred fowls will make a greater profit
than mongrels.

amount of capital necessary and the
small probability Of getting satisfac-
tory returns on the money invested.
So far as can be ascertained in cases
in which failure has been met with
the trouble has been mostly due to the
fact that hog cholera was allowed to
claim a large portion of the animals;
in other words, the owners failed to
immuniZe their stock in a proper man.
ner. The belief that hogs fed on garb-
age are exposed daily to the danger of
cholera infection is well founded.
There is always the possibility that
garbage contains scraps of pork, such
as rinds and trimmings from hams
and bacon, or products Of cholera car
casses that have been prepared for
markets at small local Strengthening
houses where no inspection Is MAIN
tanned. These pieces of choleraic pork,
without doubt, will reproduce the dis
ease IL consumed in the raw state by
susceptible animals, besides creating a
source of infection which may be re-
tanned on the premises under garbage
feeding conditions.
The hog raiser who feeds garbage
In a limited way only to supplement
in part other classes Of feed can read
lily arrange to cook the garbage thor
oughly before feeding and in this way
eliminate, to a large degree, the dam
ger Of cholera infection. If, however,
large herds are fed on garbage en-
tirely, cooking is not practicable and
from the feeders point of view it is
not advisable. Therefore, In all such
cases 1t is Of the utmost importance
that the animals be immunized and
thus protected from hog cholera; in
fact, owners Of such enterprises should
be ire that hogs are permanently i'm
hume before they are placed on such
feed.
Pigs narrowed from immune sows
have q natural resistance to hog chol-
era during their sucking period. When
they are about to lose this degree Of
immunity, about weaving time, they
should be given the Simultaneous inoc-
ulation (serum and virus). Even with
this method of treatment a few In
dividuals may become again suscep-
tible; therefore the herd should be
treated again If any Of the animals
show signs of infection.
Considering the income derived from
hogs and the reasonable rates at which
garbage has been obtained, the extra
expense Of treating the animals must
be viewed as part Of a business prop
o~sition, such as insuring against de-
struction by fire OF against accidents
Of any kind; and feeders Of garbage
cannot consider their business as safe
unless they protect 1t against all pos
sible reverses, Of which the most eeri-'
GUS is hog cholera.

CANDLE EGGS TO
TELL CONDITION
Appearance of Egg Shell Not Re-
liable Indication of Quality
of Contents.
EQUIPMENT IS EASILY MADE
Ordinary Hand Lamp, Lantern, lnoan-
descent Bulb or F~lashiieht May Be
used-Neeessary That Work
Be Done In Dark Room.

The poultry raiser with q small
flock as well as the commercial raiser
needs to make sure that the eggs used
at home Or marketed are in best con-
dition. Gambling will show that. 1t is
reliable and can be done easily. Equip
ment can be improvfsed at home.
The shell of the new laid egg has a
soft 'bloom' which is a valuable sign
of perfect freshness. This bloom is
destroyed by touch, and in any case
disappears after a few days exposure
to the air. After that the appearance
of the shell is not a reliable Indication
OF the condition Of the contents. By
holding an egg between the eye and
a strong light in such a manner that
the rays of light come to the eye
through the egg tue condition of the
contents can be seen. This method of
examining the Eggs is called "can-
ding"
Work In Dark Room.
Gambling eggs Is done In a dark
room, using a light inclosed in a case
having opposite the light a hole of ap-
propriate size and shape at which the
egg is held for examination. An ordi-
nary hand lamp, a lantern, an incan-
descent bulb, or a fiashlight may be
used. ANY box large enough to hold
the lamp, set on end, al be used for
a case. Besides the hole in the side
opposite the light there should be a
hole in the top end (see nlustration)
otherwise the heat over the light would
fire the box. A tester chimney such
as is used on a lamp for testing eggs
in incubation may be used for can
ding. Have the light on a table or
shelf as may be convenient. Place the
eggs to be candled at one side at the
other have separate receptacles for
good and bad eggs. Take the eggs one
by one and hold, large end up. close
to the light.
Appearance Of Eggs In Gambling.
A perfectly good, fresh egg shows
''full" and "clear" before the light
there is almost no air cell at the large
end, and the yolk outline is only faint
" discernible.
A fixed air cell of " to 3-16 inch in
depth indicates a fresh egg as eggs
run In general receipts A larger air
cell with a mobile lower line indicates,
according to size and fiuctuation, a
stale egg, or one becoming weak and
watery.
Spots Are Blood clots.
Very small spots In an egg are usu-
ally blood clots. Large spots, rings,
and shadows are due to heat and ger
mination, and indicate decomposition
In the first stages. An egg that is
Opaque except for a large fixed air
cell contains a chick dead at an adj
vanced stage of incubation An Opaque
egg with large air cell having a mo-
bile lower line is In an advanced stage
Of fluid decomposition. Eggs showing

lied nv breaking them and separatinp

States Attorney Robert o. Dunn and
Treasurer Paul H Wolff of oliver

minds Of Bismarck medical men that
the epidemic has at last made its ap.
pearance In this state. The attorney
generals attack was very mild; he
was isolated as soon as the trouble

that there has been any general ex-
posure of Bismarck people. Mr.. Lang
