PERFECTLY COOKED
Pork Products Dangerous

The approach of the Christmas
season prompts the United States
Department of Agriculture to issue
a warning against eating pork or any
product containing pork unless 1t is
well cooked. At that season, especl-
ally, quantities of certain kinds OF
pork products which many persons
are accustomed to eat uncooked are
prepared in homes and on farms, as
we'll as commercially. Uncooked
pork frequently contains parasites
of microscopic size known a trichi-
nae, and persons who eat uncooked
pork run the risk of contracting
trichinosis, a most painful and dis
tressing disease which sometimes
ends fatally in spite of any treat
ment. The health of the patients
who recover from the acute state
of the disease is often permanently
impaired.
HOW LONG TO COOK PORK.
The following rules for cooking
pork by boiling is based on careful
experiments carried out some Years
1
ago by Danish investigator:
Cook the meat fifteen minutes
(summer) to eighteen minutes
(winter) for each pound OF weight
if put into boiling water, keeping
the water boiling throughout the
cooking process. If the meat II
put into cold water deduct half the
time required to bring the water te
a boil.
Example: How long should 9
ten.pound ham be boiled if PLACED
in boiling water2 Ten multiplied
by 18 equals $50 minutes, or three
hours. How long should ten
pound ham be boiled it placed II
cold water and if one hour is re
quired to bring the water to a boil
Ten multiplied by Is minus 81
EQUALS $50 minutes or 2 IL house
after boiling begins.
In applyidg the rules given above
the eighteen minutes per pound al
lowance should be followed in sum
mer as we'll as in winter if the mea
is taken from a refrigerator ane
cooking begun before it has .ha'
time to reach the ordinary hous
temperature. For high attitudes
where the temperature OF boilln
water is considerably less than a
sea level, the time of cooking mus
l be heightened.

Broad herd have rarely, if ever,
been equalled by any breeder in so
short time, and have certainly
made Tennessee felt at the great
show.
Last year DR.. Higgins won the
Grand Championship with his then
famous bull, Idolmere, which, it
will be remembered, died from
burns received in railroad wreck
while in transit from Chicago to
French Broad Farms. But with
this great loss DR.. Higgins was not
to be discouraged and he at once be-
gan to cast about for bull to take
Idolmere's place at the head OF the
his herd. AS result Perinthian,
champion of the show rings OF Ire
land and Scotland was purchased at
a cost of about $50, 900, and those
who are recognized as judges con-
slider him a better bull in many re-
spects than Idolmere.
Mr.. Evans won the Grand Cham
pionship in the Hampshire boar
class with Lookout Reminder the
Second. A daughter of this great
sire, Gwendolyn Lookout, was the
Grand Champion SOW. These ami
mails were champions of all the big
fairs in Tennessee last fall. Mr..
Evan has one of the greatest herds
of Hampshire hogs in this country
and his winnings at the 1nterna-
tional will no doubt stimulate the
growing of purebred hogs in len
nessee.
I.espedeza Choice, the prize Short
horn bull owned by DIR. E. J. Foute
of Tellequah Farms, MCGEE, len
lnessee, made a remarkable showing
placing third in the senior yearlinG
class in one of the strongest South
ern exhibits ever seen in America
This bull was Grand Champion al
the East Tennessee Division Fail
last fall. Livestock judges state
that this bull is one most promising
Shorthorn bulls in this country, and
is bound to make history in keeping
with that of his illustrious sire.
This was the first for DIR. Foute to
show at Chicago.
J. s.. Hutton, an outstanding
Poland-Ch breeder of Blount
Comfy won second inthe junior class
with a SOW that was Grand Cham
pion, at the East Tennessee Divis-
ion Fair at Knoxville last fall.

class with animals from their great
herd of Shorthorns. Ames Planta-
ton of Grand Junction. Tennes'
I see also took a number OF first
awards as we'll as minor ones with
their splendid herd Of Aberdeen
Angus.
The winnings only strengthen thu
growing interest and belief tha
Tennessee and the South is going
to become the livestock producing
section of the country. It demon
strates that Tennessee can raise no
only as good, but just little better
cattle and hogs than other States
The record made at the Interna
national this year means anothe
step in advancement of the live
stock industry of Tennessee anc
will mean much to its further de-
velopment as ever producer Of live
stock will be encouraged and slim

WAR MATERIAL DISTRIBUTED
Equipment Turned over Promises to
Be Great Aid In Carrying Out
Road Building Plan.

To date the war department has
turned over TO the United States de-
partment OF agriculture approximately
24,000 motor vehicles, rs provided In
congressional legislation empowering
the latter department to distribute this
war material among the state high
way commissioners for use In road
building, allotments of the vehicles
to be based on the amount Of federal
aid for roads which the states receive.
This Is practically all the vehicles
which the war department has to re-
lease. OF this total $4,000 have been
delivered to the stntes. The remain
der will be distributed as fast as rail-
way cars can be secured for their
transportation. Representatives Of
the bureau OF public roads, In charge
OF the matter. believe that within two
or three months all OF the vehicles
will have been delivered to the states.
This equipment promises TO be a great
aid In carrying the large road build
Ing program for 1920.
The state highway commissioners
are also interested In securing allot-
ments of tractors, steam shovels, lo-
comotive cranes. antomotlve cranes,
Industrial railway track, dump cars
and Industrial locomotives which re-
main to be disposed Of by the war
department. A measure known as
the Kahn bill, directing the secretary
OF war TO release this material for the
state highway commissioners, has
passed the senate and has been re-
ported out OF committee In the house.
