At a quarryin the Imperial
Valley, California, where
aggregates were being OBJ
tanned for another addi-
ton to the States system
OF Concrete roads, the
methods used in screening
the stone caused waste
OF IS per cent.
One Of the Portland Ce-
ment Association field en-
gineers interested in the
progress Of hiswork called
attention to studies made
by our Structural Mate
rials Research Laboratory
on the selection and pro-
portioning Of materials for
Concrete. Hesuggestedth that
proper application Of these
might considerably reduce
the waste. A change in the
method Of screening ma
terials was therefore adopt
ed, reducing the waste to
only IS per cent. without
lowering the strength of
the Concrete.
Now the stone is costing AZ cents
instead Of ST. ton, as estimated
when the contract was let this
year, as against $1.45 actual cost
last year. On the mileage to be
built, this means saving Of more
than $4,000, which will be used
to build more Concrete road.-at
no cost to the taxpayers.
This is but one example of the
value Of our laboratory studies to
users Of Concrete. The Labora-
tory's work is to develop contin-
uany, without cost to the public,
better and more economical
methods Of making and using Con-
crete under all conditions.
The Laboratory is one Of the
numerous services maintained by
the Portland Cement Association
the joint research and educa-
tional foundation of IS indie
pendent manufacturers in the
United States, Canada, Mexico,
and Cuba, conducted for the bene-
fit of those who want dependable
information on how to use
Concrete.
Suggestions as to how our work
may be made more useful to you
are invited.

RIGHT TIME TO PLANT CORN
In Central Corn Belt Seed Planted In
April ls Slow in Coming Up and
is Not Hardy.

There is q right time to plant corn,
and usually the better farmers wheth-
er they figure by the calendar, by the
size of oak leaves, or by the phases
Of the moon. in every nelghborhood
know when that right time comes.
1t is suggested, however. that more
corn is planted too early than too late.
Corn Is hot weather plant. In the
central corn belt the seed that Is
planted in April Is usually slow In
coming up and less hardy than the
seed planted about the middle of May.
The distribution Of rainfall affects the
yield, and this varies from season to
season, but the corn experts say. and
this theory Is verified by common ex-
perience. that the best yields and most
rapid growth may be expected from
the medium planting dates.

PREPARING PORK

for Farmers.
DIFFERENT WAYS OF CURING

Prepared by the United States Department

Every farmer can well produce the
pork and pork products which are con-
sumed on his farm, for selling hogs
and buying pork involves profits, but
not TO the farmer engaged in the prac-
tice. This point is brought out In
Farmers Bulletin 1886, published by
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture, which tells how hogs should
be killed and describes different meth
DDS Of curing and canning pork on the
farm. Highly nutritious and palatable
pork products for home use are easily
made, says the bulletin. Pork can
be cured and canned In a number Of
ways and the variety of products af-
fords q supplement to the daily meals.
Young Hoos Yield Bost Meat.
A hog of medium condition, gain
ing rapidly In weight. yields the best
quality OF meat. A reasonable amount
of fat gives juiciness and flavor to the
meat, but large amounts Of fat are
Objectionable. Smooth, even, and
deeply-feshed hogs yield nicely-mar-
bled meats. The meat Of old hogs
will be improved II they are properly
fattened before slaughter, but young
hogs from eight to twelve months old
are best for furnishing the home meat
supply.
The bulletin emphasizes especially
the Importance Of selecting only
healthy hogs for slaughter and Of
thoroughly cooking all pork products
used for food.

There Is always some danger that

person who eats the meat, particu-
larly If 1t is not thoroughly cooked.
Hogs Before Killing.
Hogs intended for slaughter should
not be kept on full feed up to the
time Of killing 1t is better to hold
them entirely without feed for 1S to
"a hours prior to that time, but they
should have all the fresh drinking wa
ter they want. 1t Is essential to have
the proper equipment for rapid and
skillful work at killing time. Such
equipment includes straight sticking
knife, a cutting knife, a 14-inch steel
to keep the knives sharp, hog hook
for holding the animals, bell-shaped
stick scraper, gambrel for holding
the hog to facilitate cleaning and cut
ting the meat, and a meat saw. II
the hog Is not too large, q barrel Is
convenient receptacle for scalding.
