Co1Dboy of Frontier Days
Will Stage a Comeback
Through New Industry

casses were shipped; 1900 will be
shipped in 1920, it is estimated.
Five cold storage plants with a
capacity of one to five thousand
carcasses each are now in operation
with more in contemplation, and re-
frigerator ships are to be put on
between Seattle and Alaska imme-
diately.
Leaders in the new industry say
every three years, so that in fifteen
years 100000 carcasses will be
shipped yearly. The meat, selling
now at thirty-five cents per pound
wholesale, will then sell at fifteen
cents per pound retail, according to
Jafet Linderberg, largest private
owner of reindeer in Alaska.
Reindeer can be raised in Alaska
at little or no cost other than their
care. They feed upon the reindeer
moss and one man can care for g.
coo head.
Each year rodoes, similar to the
famous old "roundups" of the wild
west days, are held. From hundreds
of miles around, natives drive in be-
hind their swiftest render, head
herdsmen are chosen, and prepara-
tions made for the next years bust
ness. For the natives and deer-men
are looking upon Alaska as the flu
ture Texas of the world as a meat
supplying center.
But if Americans wish this deli
cacy they must prepare to outbid Eu-
rope, says Linderberg, who main
tains that every pound of reindeer

Southern Hogs VIII
Command GoodPrices,
SAYS Federal Bureau

Information secured by the bureau
of markets, United States department
of agriculture, indicates that south
ern hogs will command prices as
the corn belt if they are properly
fed and handled. Nearly 5000 hogs
from a single owner in Mississippi
have been received at the National
Stockyards, Illinois, within the past
few months and all were firm, fin
ished porkers, which sold well in line
with the best that came from other
sections of the country. A represen-
tative of the bureau of markets made
some inquiries into the manner in
which these hogs were fed. He dis
covered that the same owner has
feeding pens in Iowa as we'll as in
Mississippi, and that he bought his
young pigs and fed them a mixed
grain ration in connection with corn
and tankage. All the animals showed
intensive feeding and weighed $50
pounds or over when they arrived at
the market.
It would be especially advantage
Gus to the southern farmer to study
the use of well-balanced grain ra-
lions and the complementary adapta-
ton of peanuts and velvet beans,
which can be grown so abundantly
in that section.
Twelve carloads of hogs were re-
ceived from a single Tennessee own
er at the same stockyards. These an
imals were of a distinctly southern
type, says the bureau of markets
representative, but they were we'll
finished on corn, and sold readily at
the top of the market, despite the
fact that they came from, the social
ed doubtful territory" The own
er received a check for $72,417, the
largest ever paid to a patron of that
market for a single shipment.

Lack of Good Storage
For Sweet Potato Crop
Is Costly to the South

1t is doubtful if any crop produced
in the United States suffers as much
loss from waste as the sweet potato.
A survey by the bureau of plant in
dustry Of the United States depart
ment of agriculture showed that the
loss to the crop by preventable dis
ease was more than so per cent, but
often after the crop is harvested
growers fail to take advantage of the
possibilities of the great northern
market. The country would eat
sweet potatoes, but the field is far
from being developed to it's full ca
pacity.
Charts prepared by the bureau of
markets show that eleven states
south of Virginia and Kentucky
which grow the southern varieties
produced approximately 146,360 cars
Of sweet potatoes and market 1920
cars, or less than per cent of the
production. The remaining sixteen
states growing the Jersey type pro-
duce approximately 26,273 cars and
market 1853 cars, Or about Is per
cent Of the production. The eleven
states which produce IS per cent Of
the total crop ship only 26 per cent
of the total shipments, while the 9TH
er states producing only Is per cent

Veterinarians advice that unless
decorations of the mouth have oc-
any especial danger from using milk
of COW bitten by mad dog. The
period of incubation with this dis
ease is from three to four weeks,
and from my own point of view, l
would not use thekmilk until the full
expiration of this time. Thirty days
should indicate to. you whether the
milk may be used with advantage or
not, because the disease should GER

agricultural colleges, has convinced
specialists that conditions can be
remedied.
One great lack in the southern
sweet potato centers is proper and
sufficient storage facilities to hold
crop until it can be disposed Of says
the department of agriculture. 1t is
believed that such facilities would
not only permit marketing of a much
larger proportion of the crop, but
would obviate the necessity of SELL
ing at any price which is offered for
spot sales. Farmers in the back
country are also often insufficiently
informed on efficient methods of
gathering and grading. To correct
these conditions an exhibition car
called 1.-THE sweet potato special" was
sent out by Clemson Agricultural col
lege and the United States depart
ment of agriculture under special ar
rangements with several railway
companies. The special covered TWEEN
ty-one stations in nineteen counties of
South Carolina. More than 2,100
farmers visited the car and were
shown proper methods of handling
and grading, and cautioned against
costly mistakes. Among the exhibits
was a model of practicable sweet
potato storage house, such as are
built by private parties or by CO.
operative organizations fostered by
the extension service.

Next. Summers Pests
Can Be Killed Now

Much can be done now to reduce
the possibility of insect plaques next
summer if a little effort is directed
toward the destruction of insect
shelter areas. Around the grounds
and gardens, under hedges, beside
bitches, and in fence corners are
punches of misunderstanding weeds
or grass. By the time cold weather
approaches many kinds of the in
sects in the adult or immature stages
have taken full advantage of these
hooks and hidden away there for the
winter. The bureau of entomology

Measures to PreUent
"Cornstak Poiso1aing'
Should N0w Be Taken

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 mystery
has surrounded the death of cattle in
these instances. The disease is char
acterized by a very rapid course. In
fact, very commonly there are ne
premonitory symptoms, and it is not
unusual for the owner upon visiting
the field in the morning to find one
Or more fat cattle dead which on the
previous evening were apparently in
excellent health. ~
Another regularity 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
gators i'll 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 Investigate
ed, other circumstances We're found
which might have been responsible
for the trouble. One of these is the
fact that cattle which have been ac-
customed 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 consumption of
cornstalks which had been fl osted
before maturity. There remains also
the possibility of some poisonous
| principles in certain of the stalks,
| but such a principle has not yet been
| demonstrated.
A popularity of stalk feeding is
| that "cornstalk disease" almost
never develops from cut and cured
| stalks.
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 impra'cticable. In
| the latter case the cattle should be
| permitted to remain in the stalk
fields for only an hour or so the

Meade Cotton Makes
Splendid Showing in
Government I ests

Meade cotton when run through a
Nseries of spinning tests by the bu-
reau of markets, United States de-
partment of agriculture, gave 3.5 per
cent moro visible waste than did the
sea-isiahI eotton under the same
conditions. Textile specialists be-
lieve that the waste can be lowered
to equal that of sea island by MAX
ing certain minor adjustments on n
diviGual machines and that no in
jury to the yarn will result from such
changes. A mill that els equipped to
run sea-island cotton of a certain
staple can be changed to run the
Meade variety of the same staple
with very little resetting of the ma
chinery.
When tested for breaking strength
in the coarser number of yarns, sea-
island cotton broke somewhat strong
er than the Meade yarn, but this DIFF
ference is believed to be\due to ad-
verse growing conditions under
which the latter variety was produc-
ed. When spun into finer yarns the
Meade thread gave an equal break
ing strength with sea island.

A BARN SUITED TO A SMALL
FARM
T. o. H., Atlanta, Ga, writes:
l desire to build a barn suitable
for a farm of 100 acres; the
barn to be used as a combina-
ton cattle and horse barn, it be-
ing my intention to have five or
six mich cows and two horses or
mules, with provision for hay
loft and room to store corn.
Would it be more practical to
build all together or separate
stables for horses and cows and
corn crib? I do not wish the
structure to be too expensive.
Any suggestions will be appre-
ciated.
not build a combination barn of the
character you have in mind. A
structure sufficiently large to house
four head of work stock, six mich
cows and provide ample storage
space for /hay and grain need not
be over thirty feet wide and sixty
feet long. You could, of course, put
up a smaller barn than this, but we
believe it desirable to provide storage
space for farm implements so that
they may be protected from the
weather.
The stalls for horses or mules
should be aobut four feet wide. For
cows, five-foot stalls will be ample.
It is desirable to have passage four
feet wide in the rear of all classes
of animals. In building a structure
of this kind for myself, I would
allow for four stalls for work stock,
six stalls for cows and two box
mails. These stalls might appro-
| priately occupy one side of the bar.
would leave a ten-foot passage
down the center so that one could
drive through with a wagon when
| necessary. On the other side there
twelve to fifteen feet wide for imple-
ments. This may be closed in with
sliding doors.
If a gambrel roof is built, the
storage capacity of your barn can
be very greatly increased at COM
paratively small cost The lower
story of your barn should be about
eight feet high, and, if you use a
sixteen-foot post, it will give you
ample storage space above for the
hay, grain and forage you may wish
to store and carry through the win
ter. In one end of this structure l
would have corn crib and make 1t
rat-proof by lining it with closely
meshed, heavy wire or tin. 1t will
not cost much to do this, and 1t will
prove a great satisfaction and saving
in the long run.
A tight floor should be laid over
the joists to prevent dirt working
down into the stable. Tongue and
groove material will be found salts
factory for this purpose. l would
nut cement floor and gutter in the
FEAR of the cows so as to make the
stable sanitary. You can, of course,
partition that part of the barn used
for work stock if this is desirable.
We would certainly put the barn on
a cement foundation and treat the
lower stills with tar to preserve them
against decay. This structure would
cost anywhere from $1,000 to $4,000:
We would prefer to use galvanized
iron roofing in preference to any
other. No doubt composition roofing
will prove cheaper, but We think it
would be nothing like as satisfac-

first day and a little longer each
succeeding day until they become
used to the feed.
1t is always a good plan to fur
nish a varied diet, and the practice
of certain farmers to furnish daily
to such animals also a fair amount
of bright, Well-cured hay is thought
well of.
The so-called cornstalk disease
should not be confused with poison
ing from eating sorghum. Deaths
among stock from eating sorghum
have been traced to prussic-acid
poisoning. Under certain conditions
of growth sorghum has resulted in
serious losses of cattle.
