are running around 10000 million

Atlanta is the livestock cen

kind in the entire United States,
costing $3,9l2,292.
What is credited with being
the oldest plantation in the
State Of Georgia, is located a
few miles from Savannah near
the mouth Of Vernon river, and
is named "Wormsloe.'
The original model of the
steamship Savannah which
was the first steamship to cross
the Atlantic in 1919, is to be
found in the city hall in the port

In Liberty county is to be

Taxino Land in Florida

There are two sides to most

there are two sides to Florida s

Constitutional amendment.
Recently the Albany Herald
quoted letter from a small land

scurf remove easily.

The removal of the internal or
gans should be done promptly and
carefully. The blood should be
washed out with cold water or it
may be wiped out with clean
cloth and wrung dry out of
warm water. The leaf fat should
be removed to hasten cooling out.
The head should be removed. 1t
takes an expert to split the back
bone evenly, and it is not good
practice to chop down each side
of the backbone, SO the best plan
is to saw down the middle of the
backbone.
There is no more important
step in the whole process of
slaughtering and curing than the
proper cooling or chilling of the
carcass. This is the point where
many failures in home pork cur
ing occur. The carcass should
be hung in cool, clean place un-
til thoroughly cooled out.
Artificial cooling may be done
by the use of one-half to one
pound of ice for every pound of
pork. Pack thoroughly in ice
and allow to remain until ice is
pretty well melted, then take out
and dry, when sailing and curing
may be done as when cool wealth
er effects the cooling.

Bigger Profits Possible
From Improved Animals

Kansas dairy farmers could In
crease their returns 10000, 900 a year
by better feeding and better stock, ac-
cOrding to reported estimates Of ]. NJ.
Frandsen, dairy specialist, at a re-
cent Kansas agricultural convention.
This estimate is considered typical of
conditions throughout the country by
live stock and dairy experts Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, which is prepared to assist state
organizations and individuals in i'm
proving their methods in breeding and
feeding. The use of pure bred sires.
particularly, is practical. economical,
and rapid means of improving the
quality of domestic animals. Accord
Ing to department records. more than
12,7OO live stock owners have placed
their herds and focks on a strictly
pure bred sire basis, and reports from
these farmers show that pure bred live
stock has about 40 per cent utility
value over common stock.
AS means Of encouraging better
feeding methods. the department has
developed simple feeding problem
sheet, which may be procured and
filled out by any live stock owner. A
specialist Of state agricultural col
lege, or the department, then makes
an analysis Of each problem and
points out the means for solving 1t.

ONE-THIRD OF PIGS
DIE BEFORE WEANED

prepared b. the United States Department
of Agriculture)
That about one-third OF pigs far
rowed In the spring die before wean-
Ing time, is shown by reports from
representative farms In four corn belt
states. A summary previously issued
by the United States Department of
Agriculture showed an average loss
Of more than IS per cent. on 16S farms
In Indiana. Illinois, and Iowa, of 49,
S37 pigs farrowed In the spring.
Additional Information on this sub
ject was recently furnished the de-
partment by II. G. Zavoral. live stock
specialist Of the Minnesota university
extension service. The Minnesota
survey covered 1863 farms. OF 27,412
pigs farrowed on these farms in the
spring Of 1923, a total Of $500 were
dead before weaving time. This loss
Of "a per cent compares closely with
a loss of s3 per cent in that state the
preceding year. and also with the per-
centage for the other states.

largely prevented by proper housing

being laid on by the SOW could have

Kohl-Rabi One of Most
Rapid Growing Plants

Kohl-rabi, though little known as a
garden crop. is one Of the most quickly
grown vegetables. The plant, belong
ing to the cabbage tribe, thrives well
in any soil and is at Its best under cool,
moist conditions. Part of the plant
used Is the enlarged stem which forms
just above the ground. This, when
cooked as turnips. tastes similar to
cabbage. though somewhat milder in
flavor. In fact, the plant Is often
called the lazy mans cauliflower The
crop should be used when bulbs are
not more than two inches in diameter
that is. before they become fibrous and
woody. Succession paintings made
from May until July will furnish young
tender bulbs for use during the entire
summer. The late crop may be stored
for winter use.

Advantage to Have Eve
Flock Gaining in Weight

When the eve flock is gaining in
weight rather than losing at the
breeding season. they will come in
heat more nearly at the same time
and should all breed within three or
four weeks. This is-.a big advantage
in the spring, for then the lambs will
all be dropped within a comparatively
short period and careful attention can
probably be given the flock at that
time. When ewes are in a gaining
condition they drop more twins. This
has been proven time after time on
the western range where the lamb
crop is largely determined by condi-
tions at the breeding season.
With the beginning Of cool weather.
healthy ewes will have a better appe-
tite and II feed 10 provided will nat
urally gain in weight. Ten days be-
fore the ram Is to be turned into the
flock the ewes should be given 4 little
grain-about half a pound a day-or
else have the run of good pasture.

Make Rapid and Cheaper
Gains by Using Protein

Pigs on good pasture make more
rapid and cheaper gains and are
ready for market at an earlier age
when a small amount of high-protein
feed is used with the grain ration.
In recent tests at the Ohio agricul-
tural experiment station the cost Of
corn fed alone to pigs on excellent
forage was $3.50 for each 100 pounds
of gain. The cost Of corn and tankage
added at the rate Of .27 pound Of the
latter per head daily. for each 100
pounds of gain was $3.50. a saving Of
A cents.
The addition Of tankage increased
the rate of gain from 1.2 pounds to
Ia pounds daily and enabled the pigs
to reach market weight Of 200
pounds twenty days sooner than pigs
fed corn alone. This gain in time Is
important In the fall when the trend
Of prices Is downward
