SOME IMPORTANT POINTS
IN BUTCHERINC OUTLINED

Clemson College, Oct. 31.-Along
with the first cold spell come thoughts
of butchcring time. 1t is still too
early to do this winter job but we can
begin right now to think of how we
will handle our hogs this year. Nine
important steps in killing hogs which
make the work easier and produce
better pork are suggested by d. II.
Herman, extension swine specialist.
|. Select only those hogs which are
in good health and are gaining in
flesh. Hogs wnic,, arc losing flesh
make poor meat. The weight and con-
dition at which to kill depends on
whether YOU prefer large or small
cuts of pork and whether you want a
fat or Il lean carcass. Most farmers
Kill heavy fat hogs, but the packers
put Il premium on hogs in medium
flesh weighing around 200 to 225
pounds.
least - hours before killing and keep
them quiet provide them with all
the water lncy will drink This clears
the system of food, facilitates bleed
ing, and lessons some danger in clean
ing. Hogs that are excited before
killing dress out a dark red carcass,
and if they are whipped 70 bruised in
any way the bruised spots must be
trimmed out.
3. In sticking avoid sticking the
shoulder, for this causes the blood to
clot and means Il waste in trimming

The poultry yards, also, should
be kept clean, and covered with a
good growing crop. They should be
completely drained, and should have
shade to protect the birds from the
hot sun.
Few poultry diseases are Inherit

for vigor and chicks should be hatch
ed from eggs from only strong healthy

Salisbury To Have
Automobile Show
Will Be Held In The First Regiment
ArmOry February is. Important
Event For The Town.

The great annual Salisbury Auto
Show will be staged in the First Reg
iment Armory on February LIST, and
will continue for period of five days.
During that brief period auto owners,
enthusiasts, lovers, prospective own
ers and mere spectators will daily
throng the big arrnory to it's maxi
mum capacity to gaze upon the hand
some exhibits for which the local
shows are famous. AS usual many
people from neighboring counties will
be present to see the display and to
satisfy their appetites for mechanical
beauty. We predict that Pocomoke
City will be well represented at this
great show.
The armory will allow rs exhibit
lions and every available space is al
ready taken. The trucks and tract
ors will in all probability be shown
under canvas on a lot convenient to
the Armory, as the large building
will scarcely hold them in connection
with the other auto exhibits.
Arrangements are being perfected
to take care of huge crowds during
the show and a record breaking atten.
dance is expected.
Salisbury is to be congratulated up
on her enterprise in this connection
and all enterprising people of the pc
ninsula will lend their aid in helping
to make the show one of great credit
not only to our sister town but to the
Shore as WELL

FARMERS CONSIDER
CUTTING ACREAGE
Fertilizer Prices Said To Be PrOhibi-
tive To Profit On Potatoes.

The situation between the fertilizer
anufacturers and the potato grow
CTS of the Eastern Shore remains at
a stand-still. The manufacturers in
sist that the price quoted now, SIT a
ten, is the actual cost of production
and that they can not sell it for less
without a material loss. The farmers
Of the Shore are equally insistent
that they cannot pay this price and
make any profit on potato growing.
They paid last year $77.75 per ton,
bat they received price for potatoes
that was unprecedented, and will
probably never be reached. The far
mers of Lower Northampton got in on
the crest of the market, while those
of upper Accomack and Worcester
counties lost money, even with last
season prices.
With the present prices of labor, it
is hard to see any hope of profitable
production of potatoes with the prices
of fertilizer not sharing the general
reduction in price that has already af-
fected all farm produce.
Some of the growers have frankly
confessed an intention of curtailing
their acreage. But the majority are
awaiting developments.

MOVIE BILL
FOR NEXT WEEK
A Program Of More Than Ordinary
Interest.-1hursday The Fea-
tire Night.

The Empire Theatre presents next
week a program of unusual excellence
and variety and is probably the best
line of photo-plays ever shown in
any one week in our town. The pro-
auctions are briefly sketched in the
following paragraphs:
H. B. Warner will be featured in
"Felix O'Day," which is an adoption
OF the novel by the same name by F.
Hopkinson Smith, on Monday. 1t is
a virile story of hate and love, joy
and sorrow, friends and enemies and
is considered to be one of the best
screen dramas of the day.
A strong dramatic tale is unfold
ed in Charles Rays new picture "Bill
Henry" which will be shown on Tues
day. Ray is one of the most popular
of the Paramount stars, and in this
picture he is said to reach the climax
in his supreme accomplishment.
Shirley Mason in "The Flame of
YOUTH" is the offering for Wednes-
day. In this picture Miss Mason
plays the role of Belgian peasant
girl torn between two loves-that of
q Partisan painter and a village laG.
Not all the action passes in the Bel
gian village; there are scenes in Il
Paris studio-all, according to at
vance reports, admirably staged.
lombard, Ltd" starring Bert
Lytell, Alice Lake, Juanita Hansen
and galaxy of popular Metro stars,
is the feature attraction of the week
on Thursday. 1t is perturbation of
the famous Oliver Morosco stage sue
cess, and enjoyed continuous run of
year in New York. This picture is
said to contain 610 laughs by actua.
count. Bert Lytell whose following
has grown to tremendous proper
tions, enacts the stellar role in thls
picture as Tito lombard, the eccen-
trio genius whose fame has been wor
by designing fashion creations for
the smart set of Fifth avenue.
Wallace Reid's new film, you're
Fired" will be displayed Friday. This
is said to be one of the fastest and
most highly entertaining comedy
dramas of his career. The story was
written by 0. Henry under the name
of "The Halberdier." "Wally" plays
the role of young man upon whom
is imposed the difficult task of hole
ing a job for three months without
being fired, as a condition precedent
to his marrying the daughter of a
financier and railroad owner. He's
hired and fired several times, but fl
nally wins out and the girl as well.
A fitting climax to a week of such
good pictures is the great William
Farnum in a superb Fox attraction,
"The Orphan" In this picture, hui
Nor, poetry, rascality, gallantry, val
or, passion, tragedy are all played in
turn by Farnum. Critics say it is a
tale retold wildly and brilliantly in
the terms of the new art.

Weather Man
Brings Blame
on Park Board

Members of the park board and the
caretakcrs of the city parks have been
coming in for a big share of criticism
OF late on account of the condition
of the Central Park ice rink. Though
1T is a well known fact that an open
air ice rink cannot be kept in good
condition with the mercury lowering
about the SO degree above mark and
also thai it is impossible to work on
ice when a blizzard is the main at
traction of the day, the park board is
being censured just the same.
Starting toward the latter part of
last week the mercury started a
march upward and continued until
it reached the SO degree mark. BY
that time the rink would have made
a good place for canoeing, visitors to
the park agreed. Then last Wednes-
day a blizzard ragged throughout the
day and night, freezing the said rink
for skating purposes. Thursday aft
ernoon large numbers of skaters ap-
peared IN the scene and, without Civ
ing the weather of the past week a
single thought, they proceeded to give
the caretaker Of the rink and the park
board a "raking over" on account OF
the condition of the ice.
Harry Randall, member Of the park
board. said this morning that he has
received no less than a hundred calls
about the ice in the last twenty-fou1
hours. He announced that a crew Of
men has been sent to the park to ge,
the ice in condition again for the
skaters. Mr.. Randall said this morn.
ing hat no doubt the ice will be in ex.
cellent shape by Sunday afternoon.

PRICE OF SUGAR
AND EGGS TAXES
SKYWARD JAUNT

The price of sugar has taken a lit-
tie o skyward and today the pro-
duct is selling n the local market at
10 cents per pound. During the last
few days the market has been adj
vancing, a raise OF 80 cents on 100
pounds having been noted since last
Saturday, according to local dealers.
AS a reason for the upward trend
of sugar prices, it is said that sugar
products have been selling by pro-
ducers at less than the cost of pro-
duction in order to liquidate. The
Cuban government has nov arranged
to finance the producers and all Gu
ban raw material is to be sold through
one agency, according to information
given out. The advance in price Of
the commodity and an unsettled con-
dition is the result.
A, scarcity on the local market Is
given as the reason for the advance
in price of domestic eggs, which are
selling at As cents per dozen today.
Eggs sold here a few days for 20
cents per dozen. when a more plenti-
full supply of them was available.
