Tame Exhibition Birds
 To Make Good Showing

f
 Although the larger poultry shows are usually held in the fall, smaller exhibitions are staged throughout the winter months. The following advice on training and conditioning birds previous to a show, given by poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, is good the whole year round. The bird that has been properly trained and prepared will stand a better chance every time of winning prize than another bird equally good, but wild or easily frightened, or whose plumage is soiled or dirty.
 After the birds are selected, re- move them from the rest of the flock and place each bird in an ex- hibition coop for at least a part of each day, Fowls so confined will become accustomed to the coop. Handling them-that is, removing them from the coop each day-will have the effect of making them tame. In handling the birds and removing and returning them to and from the GOODS, move quietly and handle the birds gently so as not to frighten them.
 <, Examine the plumage so that the fowl will become accustomed to such movements when being handled by the judge. Likewise, attempt to compose the bird by smoothing and stroking the wattles gently; this seems to have a soothing effect on the fowls, and when done frequently and properly they come to look for it when one approaches the coop.
 Birds to be exhibited should not be confined to the exhibition GOODS for too great period, as long, con- tinuous cooping may cause them to get out of condition and therefore unfit for show. A satisfactory plan is to confne the birds for part of each day or every other day alter nately up to few days before send ing them to the show, when they should be confined until ready to ship.

Mutton Cured and Smoked
 At Home as Good as Pork

More mutton would be consumed, the United States Department of Agriculture believes, if farmers zeal ized generally that cured and smoked mutton is as delicious as pork. At present, only 3.9 per cent of the meat used in the United States is lamb or mutton. This is partly due to the fact that there is popular inl- pression among farmers that after 8 sheep is slaughtered, the only donl- estic use for the flesh is eating it while it is fresh. As consequence, the farmers family grows very tired

"Cornstalk Poisoning"
 Due to Various Causes

Due to Various Causes
 At this season of the year losses of stock that has been turned to pas ture on standing cornstalks, after the corn has been harvested in the autumn, are usually reported in large numbers. An element of mys- tery has surrounded the death of cattle in these instances. The dis ease is characterized by very rapid course. In fact, very commonly there are no premonitory symptoms, and it is not unusual for the owner upon visiting the field in the morn ing to find one or more fat cattle dead which on the previous evening were apparently in excellent health.
 Another peculiarity of the disease is that losses may occur on one farm or one field, while cattle on the ad- joining farm may be free from the affection. Reports of "cornstalk poisoning" are always numerous at this time of year. Various investi- gators in the past have attempted to discover some germ or organism, or some toxic substance, which might cause. this condition, but thus far the cause of the disease has not been established. However, in many of the cases that have been investigated, other circumstances were found which might have been responsible for the trouble. One of these is the fact that cattle which have been accustomed to altogether different feed often have acute indigestion when turned upon cornstalks.- This may be caused by overeating corn left in the fields or by the consump- ton of cornstalks which had been frosted before maturity. There re- mains also the possibility of some poisonous principles n certan of the stalks, but such principle has not yet been demonstrated. Gsl3s i9 A peculiarity of stalk feeding is that "cornstalk disease" almost nev- CT develops from cat and cured stalks. s@s'eis 1s @ssta " a4-staz
 Therefore to prevent losses it would be safer to cut and cure the stalks before feeding, although it is realized that for many farmers this method is well-nigh irnpracticable. 1, In the latter case, the cattle should De permitted to remain in the stalk 1 fields for only an hour OF so the first day and a little longer each succeed ing day until they become used to l the feed. i-s f@ftt s9l
 Itis always good plan to furnish | ! varied diet, and the practice of cer- eain farmers to furnish daily to such animals also fair amount of bright, l hay is thought well of.
 The so-called cornstalk disease should not be confused with poison ing from eating sorghum. Deaths annong stock from eating sorghum have been traced to prussic-acid poi soning. Under certain conditions of growth sorghum has resulted in serious losses of cattle.

of mutton before the carcass 5 con- sumed.
 For the purpose of finding some way of obviating this difficulty, ex- perimental work in the curing and smoking of mutton has been done re- gently by the Bureau of Animal h. dustry of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Those who have been doing this work give the following directions for home curing mutton:
 The first essential in curing is to be sure that the mutton is thorough ly cooled. The meat should never be frozen, either prior to CT during the period of curing. The time to begin curing is when the meat is cooled and still fresh; the proper time is from 24 to 36 hours after killing. Because of the high shrink age incident to curing, only large pieces, such as the legs and shoui- ders, are suitable for treatment.
 Mutton may be cured by using any good brine formula, but dry-cured meat is better for future use than brine-cured and requires less work. However, danger from rats and other vermin is less in the case of brine cured meat. Btoh methods of cur ing are very successful if care is taken to see that each operation is executed properly. ..~.. .t. l@. r Following is the method of dry curing mutton advocated by the Uni ted States Department of Agricul- ture: For each 100 pounds of meat use 2 pounds salt, pounds sugar or sirup, 2 ounces saltpeter, 2 ounces red pepper, and 3 ounces black pep per. .. a..F .5. ..
 Mix all ingredients thoroughly, then rub the mixture we'll over the meat and pack it away in box or on 8 table. Allow one and one-haH days cure for each pound of meat the pieces average. After the meat is cured hang it in the smokehouse.

Cleaning up Insect Pests

Much can be done now to reduce the possibility of insect plaques next summer if little effort is directed toward the destruction ?, of insect shelter areas. Around the grounds and gardens, under hedges, H beside ditches, and in fence corners ,1 are buncehs of insect-sheltering weeds or grass. By the time cold weather approaches many kinds of, insects in the adult or immature stages have taken full advantage of these hooks and hidden away there for the win- ter. The Bureau of Entomology, United States Department of Agri- culture. says that if these spots are cleaned up and the refuse cut and burned, many of these hibernating insects will be destroyed and the damage from such pests during the coming season will be materially lessened.
