One of the measures that goes fal
20 protect hogs from diseases consists
in giving them new ground to work
over each year. Disease germs are
less likely to be found on new ground
than on ground that has been given
up TO the hogs year after year. This
applies to the yards adjoining the
pens as much as to the large fields
The use of small movable houses
greatly facilitates a rotation of hog
yards. The portable buildings are
quickly moved from place to place
and thus 1t is possible to keep the
sows, pigs and fattening hogs on land
that is surely not contaminated by
disease.
With the movable hog houses IL is
possible to adopt another protective
measure, which is the division of the
herd. The hogs being in small
groups in separate yards or fields,
the coming of cholera epidemic, for
example, is not likely to be so disas-
trous as it otherwise would be. A
disease may break out in one place
and the remainder of the hogs on
the farm may not be affected at all.
On the other hand, IL they are bunch
ed in small yards and disease should
break out, in many instances the en-
tire drove will be affected with it,
4 In introducing new stock into a
drove, the greatest precaution pos
sible should be taken, else the disease
may be brought in this way. No
animal should come upon any farm
without being thoroughly disinfected
and then guaranteed for two or three
weeks before being allowed near the
rest of the animals. The hog in ques-
ton may have come from "a healthy
drove. but while being shipped over
some railroad may have been exposed
to cholera and so contracted the dis
ease.
On every farm there should be
made some provision for dipping
hogs. This not only proves to be
an easy and effectual method of dis
injecting animals which are being
brought upon the farm, but it also
furnishes a good way for disposing of
lice There are very few droves of
swine that are not afflicted at some
time or other by lice. While this
trouble may usually be overcome by
spraying or sprinkling the animals
with dip, the lice commonly are most
numerous on the head close to the
ears, under the forelegs, and in other
secluded places where the dip can not
conveniently be sprinkled or sprayed.
But when the animals are put through
a dipping tank they will be free from
all vermin, for time at least The
hog oilers may also be used to keep
down the lice.-W. F. p.

One method of removing the down
from ducks is to sprinkle powdered
rosin over the ducks body and dip the
bird into hot water, which melts the
rosin so that the down and rosin can
be rubbed off easily with the hand,
leaving the body clean.

Team Work Wins In Fight With
Diseases

II rs easier and more economical to
prevent the introduction of disease
into herd or flock than it is to
eliminate 1t. Every possible precau-
tion should be taken by the stockman
to prevent the introduction of disease
on his premises. In recent years
animal losses directly or indirectly
from disease have amounted to more
than s2OO. 700, 900 annually, but with
proper team work between Federal,
State and local authorities and stock
men these losses can be promptly
and greatly reduced.

How Different Kinds of Goods Stand
Washing

A cloth Of plain weave shows soil
quickly. but If it is firmly woven, 1t
stands rubbing well and the dirt is
easily removed by washing. On the
other hand, loosely woven plain
cloth must not be rubbed hard and
must be carefully handled in drying
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1919-02-14

so that the threads will not pull out
of place.
A twilled cloth does not show soil
as readily as plain, but It seems to
hold the dirt more tenaciously. Mate
rails of satin weaves do not stand fric-
ton as we'll as those of plain weave.
Fancy. part gauze and part solid
goods of the so-called leno weave not
only stand very little friction but
when washed must be carefully pulled
and stretched while drying to have
the goods keep its original shape and
size.
Loosely woven materials of all
kinds have greater absorption powers
than the closely woven varities; this
means less bluing for the loosely WOW
en- goods.
These are suggestions made by
home economics experts in the De-
partment of Agriculture.

A party Of tourists were taking q

anxious for information. Coming to
a massive archway adorned with sculp'

party went up to man who was

asked: "Can you please tell US what

came out to the middle Of the street
where the visitors were standing and

life before. Though willing. he could

Start Of Big Industry.

Upon the invention of machine for
sewing leather shoes, for which the
patent was issued to Gordon Mckay,
April 20, 1852, was built the great boot
and shoe industry Of the United States.
Mckay purchased. in 1859, Blake's sew
ing machine. which was one simply
using wax thread, with a stationary
horn attached. While the machine in
tended for sewing boots and shoes op-
Grated well in parts Of the work, 1t
failed In stitching the heels and toes.
Mckay changed the feeding apparatus.
introduced automatic contrivances. and
finally was successful in adapting
It TO al kinds Of work. After the
breaking out Of tho Civil war. Mckay
began to make army shoes, and In
1862 made contracts with 62 firms for
their use. In 1876. 1900 were In op-
GRAFTON. These machines have been
used in foreign countries, and more
than 100000 shoes are annually
made On them In the United States.

Try This Method :
Of Saving Tomatoes

An economical method of canning
tomatoes is recommended by the can
ming specialists of the Extension III
vision, Louisiana State University,
as follows:
Pack firm, whole fruits in a jar and
fill in the spaces with concentrated
tomato sauce. Each quart jar will
then provide whole tomatoes for
salads or baking and tomato puree
for soup or sauces. The recipe is
given here.
Elect firm. uniformly red ripe
tomatoes of medium size. Put into
trays and lower into boiling water
for one minute Remove, plunge in
to cold water, drain, and cut out the
core with a slender-pointed knife
without cutting into the seed cells.
Peel promptly and pack into jars. To
each pint add one level teaspoonful
of mixture of one-third salt and
two-thirds sugar. Fill the jars with
a thick sauce made by cooking the
small or broken tomatoes until ten
der. Remove the seeds and skins by
straining the pulp-and concentrate
it by boiling to about the consisten-
cy of ketchup. Adjust the rubber and

bottom in a vessel of water which
reach almost 70 their tops and keep
at boiling temperature for Is min

City Council Decides Against Petition Of
Monarch Packing for Retail Grocery Permit
Suit May be Filed by City to Recover Taxes Collected
BY Police Jury

The regular meeting OF the City
Council was held in the council cham
Der at the City Hall Thursday night.
After the usual routine of business,
the council took up the petition of
the Monarch Packing Co for a IL
cense to conduct a retail grocery
business in the building it now occu-
pies on the river fronts After a
lengthy discussion the council voted
against the petition that in view Of
the fact that to grant Such a license
would be putting the city. in cornpe-
titlon with tax payers WHO have
buildings to rent for such purposes.
1t was decided that the company be
charged rental of $40 month for
the time it has occupied the building
up to date. and that a lease would
be granted the company from the
present date at a rental of $500 per
month, and that the company could
engage in wholesale and retail sea-
food and produce business. The city
also found that it was not advisable
to refund the company the money it
has expended in improving the
building.

US to take such action" said Mayor
Shannon this morning, but after con-
sidering the proposition from all
viewpoints, we could not, in justice
to other merchants and, taxpayers,
grant the permit as petitioned for.
We are anxious to see tie fishing in
dustry developed to it's maximum ca
pacity in this city, and we are ready
to encourage such development, but
in the meantime we have to look
after the interests of our taxpayers

and it is possible that Morgan City
will soon boast one If these field
pieces.
The council decided that suit would
be brought by the city against the
Police Jury to recover the criminal
tax collected by the pury from this
city in the past. The Supreme Court
has upheld the claim of the City that
the jury cannot collect this tax from
Morgan City, inasmuch as its charter
exempts it flbm Police Jury liabil-

MinsheItes Pull off Coco

Every Number Greeted with Ap.
plause; Goodly Sum Real
lied from Proceeds

A happy success! That is wha
folks are saying about the minstre
given at the Opera House last nigh1
by local talent as the opening numbei
on the Catholic Fair and Festiva
program for yesterday, today and
tomorrow. Due to the rain, the
house was not filled to capacity as
had been hoped, but when the cur
tain went up large audience was on
hand in spite Of the inclement wealth
er. The black boys pulled some jabs
and gibes as usual on prominent
folks about town, and the singing
was of unusual quality.
The end-men were Messrs. Julius
Hebert, Eddie Arceneaux, Louis
Kihneman, Raymond Crawford, John
MacMahon and Jim Drury. Mr.
Mac Mahon was the only member Of
the company to be, presented with a
bouquet, some thoughtful friend
handing him large cabbage trimmed
with weeds Immediately after sing
ing his song, "You Can Have 1t, |
Don't Want IT." Mr.. Crawford be-
ing near the edge Of the stage, the
bouquet was handed to him to be
given to Mack, and this, he did, say
ing you can have it, sho' don't
want it."
Dainty Miss Vida Robicheaux and
her romping chorus of naughty
naughties brought the house down.
Miss Robicheaux was very charm
ingly made up as little Mary Jane.
and her chorus were made up like
wise, some also being done up like
Buster Brown. They danced and fit
ted about the stage in happy, child
like manner. and though they may
have been naughty. be it said that
they were none the less funny. Those
on the chorus were: DR.. S. ]. Bour-
geois, Nick Breaux, George Good
man, Waite. Guedry, Julius Hebert
and Louis Boudreaux
Mr. James Stansbury, "our lyric
tenor" sang the first ballad on the
program. Mickey" "Till We Meet
Again" was beautifully rendered by
the peerless sextette, composed Of
Messrs. F. N. McGrew, Cassius Jol-
ley. James Stansbury, VIM. Jennings
Mcclellan. James Drury and John
Gotten. Mr.. VIM. Jennings Nc
Clellan sang the closing song of the
first part, "The Navy Took Them
Over"
Salvation Lassie of Mine" was
sung by Mr.. Lynn Drury between
the. first and second parts. In this
number several pretty little Saliva
tion Lassies and Boy Scouts took
part. Miss Bessie Wise sang "A
Modern Maiden's Prayer" most
As she sang. folks in
the cabaret forgot their revelry for
the moment. Dainty little maidens
knelt and prayed as she sang. Mr..
John Gotten sang "The End of Per-
feet Day." after which the closing
number was ushered in by Messrs. F.
N. McGrew and Jack McConiff. who
went through = most funny dialogue.
