height of the growing season, and
none of the yields were as good as
Mr.. Watson expected.
Mr.. Johnson carefully follows the
advice of his county agent. His farm
is of average soil but he does not
believe it practical TO use very much
commercial fertilizer. Instead he
saves manure from his farm animals
and turns this into the soil, in addi-
tion TO growing and turning under
cover crops. His corn crop this year
was given but a few hundred pounds
of commercial fertilizers. However,
he kept the field constantly cultivated
and covered with a dust mulch.
Pointers for Hog Killing
The old fashioned scalding barrel
is still recommended. but a galvaniz-
ed iron tank is better when a number
of hogs are to be killed
The water should be heated to 40
or $50 degrees, fahrenheit.
Caustic soda, wood ashes, or lime
will help remove the surf Some ad-
vocate tar for this purpose. There is
no objection to tar, but it is not quite
as effective as caustic soda or lime
Do not let the hogs lie around after
being killed before placing in the
scalding barrel or tank. This makes
them harder to clean.
Hogs shot or killed by striking with
an ak or hammer over the brain and
then bied, do not bleed we'll. Kill by
sticking; the meat will cure and keep
better.
Feed almost entirely on corn for a
couple of weeks before killing. This
tends to make the meat and lard
firmer
Do not feed for IS hours before
killing.
Hogs should not be excitel or
chased before being slaughtered
Be sure to select a cool day and to
have plenty of ice available for cool
ing the meat. A tight box is neces-
sary for packing the meat to cool.
A good practice is to kill the hogs
late in the afternoon; clean and re-
move the viscera: hang the carcass
up in cool, screened room over
night. This gives time for the ami
NAL heat to escape and makes pos
sible smooth, even cutting in butcher
| ing.
! Be sure that all animal heat has
escaped from the meat before apply

Thick hams and shoulders, especial
" if the weather is warm. are liable
to sour next to the bone unless panty

ntes that which months, years and
decades grew, and that which to the
farmer is worth many carloads of

Still there are many farmers and
friends of farmers who see no par
ticular harm in applying match to
heavy growths of woods grass and

sons realize that this heavy growth
of grass and underground tif not

vide cattle, sheep and other grazing

And little do they think of the ter
rible destruction of young trees, the
source of future lumber and naval
stores, when they apply the match.
Scientists and practical farmers tell
us that the one greatest need of
florida soils is humus. Then it seems
nothing less than waste to destroy
this rumus so often and so needless

should make every effort to protect

therein is seen our duty to posterity

doing this than by refraining from

THE only time burning the woods
is justifiable is when it is done to de-
stroy pests harbored in and protect

occasion for this, however. is the ex-
ception rather than the rule, and it
should be done under most careful

NEW YORK. Dec. 16.-(By I.N.S)
1t IS the cunning woman bootlegger
who has made booze-craft what It
IS, declares Miss Amy Kaukonen.
Who is Amy Kaukonen? The word
plymouth Who's Who Of the boot
Logging industry in Ohio lists her
thus:
Kaukonen Amy, "a. beautiful and
elegant, physician, mayor and magis-
trate of Fairport; elected year ago;
cleaned up the town and filed up
the workhouse with Volstead law
violators and raised Cain generally;
give her a wide berth-she's bad
medicine for booueggers.
Mayor Kaukonen is in New York
TO celebrate the fifth anniversary of
Finland's independence for one thing
and 10 look into tho booze situation
here for another.
"In all the raids I've directed IN
Fairport." she said in an interview.
"and in all the cases I've tried I've
found it hardest to get evidence
against the woman bootlegger. The
men are AFRAID or her.
How did I clean up FairpoIt?
Easily. I got the detectives busy
and sentenced lots of violators to
the workhouse and fined others.
Habitual boetleggers were driven out
OF town"

observation didn't get much, She
agreed that things were pretty bad
in the East and, when asked how she
would stop Illicit drinking in New
York, Mayor Kaukonen answered:
We'll, New York's a pretty big
city. Still 1 think the same methods
we used in Fairport would get re-
suits. I'd get detectives that 1 could
trust on the trail. But 1 suppose in
so big a city as this the Mayor hasn't
time to hear all the magistrates

Crown Prince Tells the World

The warm heart Of Mr.. H. L.
Mencken is evidently overhowing
with good will in the sympathetic at.
lnosphere of Germany. He has even
hunted up the young man who was
formerly the Crown Prince Of Ger
many and telsderly cabled home to
Baltimore whole column Of inter-
view with him.
This may seem like overstressing
the Importance Of the Hero Of Yer
dun. What the Crown Prince ever
thought about anything was never
wildly sought by the great minds of
the world. Now that he has retired
to Dutch island as a private citi-
zen it is easy to imagine many
things as to which his utterances
would be completely immaterial and
irrelevant.
But one point that Mr.. Mencken
reverently took down upon his
trusty pad was, we submit, well
worth all the bother and expense.
That was when the Crown Prince
waxed loud in praise Of the recent
speech of Mr.. Reginald McKenna in
New York that Americans have
been attentively reading. "He knows
the situation thoroughly and he told
the simple TRUTH" declared the heir
apparent with candor and convic-
tion.
1t is touching scene to witness
the Grown Prince, rough and ready
war horse that he is, bearing the
scars of thousand engagements,
thus held champing at the bit in
safe seclusion on alien territory and
compelled to leave the pleading Of
his country's cause in other hands.
But it is a relief to know, through
Mr.. Mencken's enterprise and loy-
atty, that he is satisfied with what
others are doing.

Baseball and the Turk

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Percy Hammond's reference in
Fridays Tribune to the 100 per cent
Americans" who called Judge Lands a
thief and robber leads to the query:
What is 100 per cent American?
Not having been at a baseball game
in nearly twenty years--from a disin-
clination to waste the time--it is a
little difficult for me to appreciate the
mental attitude Of 400 per cent
American" who can work himself up to
blackguarding pitch over something
that has no more bearing ON the well
fare Of the universe than the ticking
OF clock. Yet SO per cent Of these
same 100 per cent Americans don't
turn q hair whan, they read Of the
massacre Of few thousand human be-
ings by the Turks. They feel that if
we were to see q neighbor being MUIR
dered by highwaymenand the Turk
has been an international highwayman
for generationswe should PASS by on
the other side.

Whatever the precise spot Of land
in the Western Hemisphere that
Columbus sighted 430 years ago to-
day, and wherever his remains may
actually be buried, there is merit in
the proposal to erect a gigantic
lighthouse as a memorial to him
upon the island Of Santo Domingo.
Men have given their lives to the
study of his career and many vol
umes have been written to "prove"
disputed points. 1t is probable that
the full truth will never be known.
That there is no suitable memo
rial to him, however, cannot he gain
said. There remains the question of
where it should be situated. If the
precise spot where he first landed.
were known beyond dispute, good
argument for choosing it as a site
could be made. So, also, il it were
unquestioned that his remains still
lie in the cathedral at Santo Do
mingo, that spot might be chosen for
his memorial. But neither point is
clear. Why not, therefore, be
guided by two facts which are no
longer disputed - namely, that on
this island he planted the first Euro
pean town in America and that to
this town his body was brought
early in the sixteenth century, full
filling his request, to repose in the
cathedral Of Santo Domingo?
These are good claims for erect
ing monument to him there. What
more fitting than that this monu-
ment should be a giant lighthouse,
visible far out upon the Caribbean
Sea, the path to which he first
pointed out?
