The city OF Paris, Tex, operates
municipal abattoir which serves the en-
tire locality at cost, according to the
United States department Of agricul-
ture, which has recently procured data
regarding its operation. Hogs are
killed in this establishment at all times
Of the year, and at n cost to the own
ers Of S1.50 a head, which covers kill
ing, dressing and cooling the meat.
The meat Is chilled for 81 hours in one
room. put in the cooler the next day.
and kept Mt 80 degrees, and will keep
in good condition for long period.
The first four days It is kept in this
cooler without additional cost to the
owner and after that 1t is kept at
charge Of ten cents a day for each car
cass.
Hogs are killed and sailed down at
$3.50 q head, no extra charge being
made for the salt, and they are kept
In cold-storage rooms after being salt
ed down for four days without addi-
tional cost, and at five cents day
thereafter. This curing room Is sep
arate from the regular cooler where
fresh meats are kept, and Is not quite
so cold, but no meat has been known
to be lost in It. Calves up 70 $50
pounds are killed for $3.50 head and
the hide Is left on them, though they
are dressed and the hide is thoroughly
washed When cattle are skinned
there is an additional charge of one
dollaE, the hide remaining the prop
erty Of the owner of the carcass. Sheep
are killed at S150 Il head and are
skinned without extra charge.
Hogs, cattle and sheep are Killed
throughout the year. A city ordinance
compels every butcher or other indi=
yldual who sells meat in Paris to have
his slaughtering done at the municipal
ahattoir which Is operated at cost
All the meats are inspected by the
city veterinarian, who stamps each en-
cass. The plant pays its own expense
and has been making enough In add.
ton to cover cost of depreciation. Tia
abattoir cost between $4,000 and So
900. About ten years age, when TIN
ahattor was built, the department ha=
record of original cost of $4,000
and the daily capacity then was 30 cat
lie, 20 hogs and 80 sheep and calves.
Meat In Paris has been selling from
zen to twelve cents pound cheaper
than in some neighhoring localities.
Competition Is assured because 1t is
easy for the hotels. restaurants and
others using much meat TO buy live
stock and have 1t killed and stored in
this municipal abattoir until they are
ready to consume It. This results in
prices being kept at relatively low lev
els.

KEEP THE MACHINERY UNDER
SHELTER

1t may be an old, old story, to
speak of the waste or losses that ac-
crue TO the farmers of America who
fail to take care of their machinery
and farm tools; but as long as these
expensive articles of necessary equip
ment are seen standing in the fields,
here and there without protection,
.rusting and decaying, it is right to
continue the agitation to promote the
idea of better care for farm machin-
cry. Especially at this time when
such equipment new is very high
in price. Build some sort of shed
and keep all machinery therein. 1t
will mean a saving of thousands of
dollars.

show that the increase in the sales
of formaldehyde for the current year

compared with the sales of 1917, the
last year before the present campaign
was inaugurated. The four states In
which this record has been made are
Minnesota, North Dakota. South Da-

reason to believe that practically all
of this increase represents supplies
