that anywhere from one to IL animals
suffocate. This Is particularly true Of
hogs. The shipper should remember
that stock cars frequently stand In
freight yards completely hemmed in
by trains Of box cars. Under such
circumstances, IL the animals are
crowded in the car and the weather
is hot, overheated and dead animals
are almost certain to result.
Another mistake frequently made is
to load mixed stock without proper
partitions. When two or more species
Of live stock are shipped In the same
car they should generally be kept
separate by building strong partitions.
This Is particularly important when
large animals are shipped with smaller
ones.
1t has been found that shipping live
animals any considerable distance lie
an undertaking always fraught with
some risk. This risk, however. may
be materially reduced, In the opinion
of department specialists,
The exact number Of animals that
should be shipped In car, naturally,
varies with the size Of the car. the
size and kind Of animals, the length
OF haul, the season of the year, and
weather conditions. There can be no
variation, however In the general rule
that the animals should have sufficient
room to be reasonably comfortable
and that the car should be 30 parti.
toned that large animals cannot
trample the smaller ones, and that ag.
gressive and quarrelsome animals can
not injure those with more quiet and
timid disposition.
Even at the present comparatively
low price Of live stock a single dead
or crippled animal invariably repre-
sents a substantial loss, and In many
instances wipes out the profit on the
entire shipment

VALUE OF UNDRAWN POULTRY
Experiments Conducted by Department
Of Agriculture Show Birds Spoil
Less Quickly. ~

Poultrymen still discuss the rela-
tive merits of drawn and undrawn
poultry. Practice varies In different
communities. Opening the body un-
doubtedly exposes the Internal surface
to the air which always contains mi
cro-organisms, and thus may hasten
decomposition but it should be re-
membered also that the viscera decom-
pose more rapidly than other parts Of
the body, and if>left they may taint
or infect the rest Of the bird.
In elaborate experiments with
drawn, partly drawn, and undrawn
poultry, conducted by the United
States Department Of Agriculture, 1t
was found that undrawn birds spoil
least quickly, and partly drawn ones
less quickly than the fully drawn ones
from which, not only the viscera, but
also the heads and feet, have been re-
moved.

Death or Injury Of Animals Means

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
1t makes quite a difference In the
profits Of the farmer stock raiser
whether he obtains S1a cents per pound
for his hogs as meat or from "a to Il
cent per pound for them as dead hogs
and soap-grease material. Which of
these prices he obtains depends upon
how the animals are loaded in the
cars. Many shippers, either through
ignorance or In an effort to save a
small amount of freight, overload or
improperly load their live stock when
sending it to market, and thereby run
great risks of sustaining serious losses
through crippled or dead animals, say
specialists of the bureau of markets,
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
With freight rates at their present
levels there is a strong temptation to
economic on this item of expense by
crowding a few more animals into an
already well-filled car. Representa-
tives of the department, however, who
see thousands Of carloads of live stock
unloaded at the great central markets,
are of the opinion that If farmers and
stockmen could see the condition in
which much Of the live stock reaches
the stockyards they would be i'm
pressed not only with the folly Of
overlooking, but also with the abso-
lutte necessity Of taking every precau-
ton against injury and death of the
animals while in transit.
Overlooking is one of the common
est, and at the same time most serious,
mistakes made by the inexperienced
or careless shipper. 1t seems such an
easy matter to crowd just few more
animals into a car, and the fact that
once In a great While an overloaded
car will go through without serious
mishap seems to urge the shipper on
to tempt fate just once more. The
wise shipper, however, will have moth
ing to do with this false economy, say
specialists Of the department. He
will lay down hard and fast rule to
load only as many animals in the car
as can ride comfortably, and from
this rule he will not deviate.
The chances Of loss through over
loading are greater in warm weather
than in cold. Temperatures may be
such at the time of loading that the
animals are fairly comfortable, but be-
fore they reach market the weather
turns suddenly hot, with the result

Southern Farmer Demonstrates How
Log Building Can Be Made Secure
Against Insects.

The county agent Of Taylor county,
Fla, reports that one. farmer In his
community has worked out way by
which log corn crib can be made
practically air-tight to guard the corn
against weevils. This farmer put
three or four inches of dirt on the
floor and covered 1t with another foor.
The walls were covered with rough
lumber, and the cracks outside were
filed with clay. The door facings
were padded with cloth and the door
made Of two layers OF cypress lumber,
with piece Of paper roofing between.
This arrangement cost abont $40, In
addition to the farmers labor. Others
IN this neighborhood are building

Coal ashes have little value as ferti-
IiEer, their use being mainly to loosen
the soil and make 1t more workable.
They are most valuable on heavy clay
roll, but should be screened to take
cut coarse material before they are
applied, and should be spread evenly

In canvasback ducks, for example,
which are considered at their best

Celery and chestnuts sometimes are
used to give turkey flesh special fla

should not be allowed to eat onions or
wild garlic, habitually, because the
sulphur compounds in these plants
pass over into the flesh and give it
taste Objectionable to most persons.

Many wonderful developments have been
made in this section of the state in the
past few years. The people have better
teams and in many cases motor machinery
is replacing horse drawn machinery. A
better grade of livestock is in the country.
Some of the finest cattle anywhere are
now here and fine dairy herds and beef
herds are being built up The most en-
during wealth is that which comes from
agriculture. After all other kinds of
wealth are gone farm wealth stays and
grows better every year when the lands
are properly cared for. Hence it is the in-'
tention of the people of Ardmore, of it's
bankers and merchants and newspapers
to give every cooperation they have in
their power to the men-the farmers
who are creating a permanent wealth for
this country.

Everything that exists has purpose
to serve. Whatever you have about your
farm that is not serving useful purpose
is needed by some one else. First Monday
offers opportunity to exchange the things
we don't need for the things we do need.
Just as soon as there is demand for an
auctioneer to sell livestock or anything
else the farmers have, the Ardmore mer:
chants will supply that need -.

There is just one way to build greater

them by being present in Ardmore every

Merchants of Ardmore have mapped
out very clever plan to start First Mon
day Trades Days. Every merchant has
agreed to advertise for this day at least
one article at genuine bargain and these
pages set out the offerings of the mer-
chants and everybody will be interested
in knowing just what opportunities are
offered by the First Monday Trades Day.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1921-06-02

The old time First Monday was begun
by counties that advertised that on First
Monday all stray stock would be sold.
Growing out of this custom all the people
formed the habit of gathering every First
Monday at their county seat town. Trad
ing was indulged in old time visits were
had among friends and acquaintances.
Everybody made it point to be in town
on each first Monday. We want to fix
the same day for trading in Ardmore.
Bringing all the people together once a
month is bound to result in good.

County Agent Notes

Are you having any trouble with
cutworms If so try the following
poisonous mash mixed as follows
fifty pounds of wheat bran mixed
with two pounds of arsenate of lead.
Dissolve two quarts of black molosses
and gallon of water. Moisten the
bran with the sweetened water max
ing moist mash. If more water is
needed add it. Broadcast this poison
mash sparingly over the infested field
or garden late in the evening so that
it will not dry out or be picked up by
the birds. BY morning it will be
gone. Cut worms work at night and
Prefer this sweetened mash to corn.
Any crop damage done by army
worms, cutworms or grasshoppers can
be cheaply protected this way.
1t pays to feed a grain mixture to
cows on pasture. Prof. G. c. Hum
phrey of the Wisconsin College of
Agriculture suggests that cows pro-
ducing less than one pound of butter
fat per day and that IRE in good con-
dition will undoubtedly prove most
profitable with pasture alone. The
following mixtures are suggested for
summer feeding:
1, On good pasture. 100 lbs. Ground
Oats, 100 lbs. Wheat Bran, and so lbs.
corn meal.
2, On fair pasture, 200 lbs. Wheat
Bran, 200 lbs. Corn Meal, and so lbs.
Oil Meal.
