have very materially injured the cotton
seed supply and damaged. to some ex-

call the attention of your farmers TO
TINS fact and urge them to take steps
at once to lay in a supply of good
sound cotton seed for planting the next

ample supplies of cOWpeas, soy beans
and velvet beans for planting all that
should be grown next year. am ask

preparing the hegs for slaughter. ac-
cording to the swine specialist of the
Extension Division, Louisiana State
University.
A fast of "A to sc hours before
slaughter, plenty of water, careful
handling, and rest for the animals are
all important in securing meat in the
best conditions for use either fresh or
for curing purposes, they say. Food
in the stomach decomposes very rapid.
ly after slaughter, and where the dress
ing is slow the gases generated often
affect the flavor of the meat. Water
should be given freely up to the time
OF slaughter, as it keeps the tempera

that the animal be not excited in any
way sufficiently to raise the tempera-
ture of the body. If the animal be-
comes heated it is better to allow if
to rest overnight before killing than
to risk spelling the meat. 1t is also
essential that the hog be carefully
handled so as not to bruise the BODY
