HEALTHY HOGS

Too many swine growers immun-
ize their hogs against hog cholera
only to raise them under unsanitary
conditions. Anti-hog cholera serum
and hog-cholera virus can not be
expected to save the hogs regardless
of their condition when treated, says
DR.. U. G.. Houck, hog-cholera au-
thority of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. The immunization
treatment must be given under fav-
orable conditions to be effective. BY
raising healthy herds, by avoiding
ways of spreading the disease, by
following the advice of veterinar-
ian, and by giving special attention
to the herd for at least two weeks
following immunization, losses from
cholera can be reduced. Farmers

1t is a mistake to saw up choice
logs of such woods as white oak,
ash, cherry, and yellow poplar for
rough uses on the farm, or to use
clear black walnut for gate boards
or to split up white-oak butts for
fence posts, says the Forest Service
of the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture. Many valuable logs go into
crossties, when they would bring
the woodlot owner much more if
sold as saw logs. Large numbers of
young, rapid-growing trees, produc-
ing only one small tie, would more
than double the profit if left to grow
from three to five years.

The dairy COW fed baled hay or
mill feed is apt to eat shorp-pointed
wires or nails along with the feed.
Such material is collected and held
in one compartment of her stomach,
where it often does, no harm. 1t is
not uncommon, however, for a piece
of wire or nail to penetrate the wall
of the stomach and reach vital or
gan with fatal result. 1t is we'll to
use plier for cutting the wire on bal
ed hay, instead of hatchet or axe,
as there is less danger of short
pieces of wire being broken off with
the hay. Some farmers use magnets
over which all ground feed is passed.

In washing silk garments of any
kind, use lukewarm water and a
neutral soap. Don't rub hard.
Squeeze and work the garments in
the suds. Do not twist the fabric.
Rinse thoroughly in lukewarm water
and remove the water finally by
squeezing and patting the garment
between dry towels. Never dry in
the sun. If the garments are ironed,
use a warm but never a hot iron,
protecting the silk with cheesecloth.
The silk should be evenly damp but
not wet.
Start cooking green peas in boil
ing, unsalted water. Then, as soon
as they come to the boil, lower the
heat, and simmer them. Peas actu-
ally cook more quickly at the sim
mering point, are more tender, and
keep their fresh sweet flavor and
bright green color better than when
boiled. Use no more water than
necessary so that the valuable liquid
need not be drained off. Add salt
when the peas are about half cook
ed. Young peas will simmer tender
in about Is minutes. Season with
melted butter or cream.
S&%
Rhubarb and strawberry jam is a
good combination for this time of
year. Cut up the rhubarb in inch
pieces, to make quarts. Cover with
about % quart of sugar, and let
stand for an hour or so. Crush 1
quart of strawberries after hulling
and washing, and mix with another
Il quart of sugar. Then combine
with the rhubarb. Heat over low
flame, until the sugar has dissolved.
Increase the heat and cook quickly,
stirring frequently to prevent burn
ing. Cook for about 80 minutes or
until fairly thick. Pour into hot
sterilized jars, cover, and seal.

An acre will furnish pasture for
from 5 to Is hogs averaging 100
pounds. 1t is a good plan to have two
pastures for each lot of hogs. By al
ternating them the pastures may be
grazed fairly closely and still pro-
vide good, succulent feed. Pasture
crops that are allowed to mature
don't furnish good feed for hogs.

Mushrooms are temperamental
and exacting in their requirements,
but they can be grown successfully
by the amateur if careful attention
is paid to these three points: good
manure, pure spawn, and constant
temperature. Contrary to most other
crops, mushrooms don't need sun
shine, or even light, and require
manure instead of ordinary soil.
Flytrapping is help in combat
ing the fly nuisance, but it should be
begun in early spring to be of most
value. Though comparatively few
flies are caught at this time, it
means that myriads are prevented
from developing in midsummer.

Figures Show Property
Tax Will Pay Third of
State Expenses IN Year

AUSTIN, June 8.-Property taxes
will pay about one-third Of the
cost Of the state government dur
ing the next two years, figures COM
piled by Gov. Dan Moody SHOW.
Gov. Moody estimated revenues
for running the government Will be
$46, 440, 1000 for the next two years.
This Is exclusive CT money used for
highway work. all funds derived
from the education tax, and the
Confederate pension tax.
OF this sum, he estimated S22.-
100000 during the biennium will
come from sources other than prop
erty taxes. and S20.44o 600 from the
present 25-cent ad valorem state
levy.
IN addition to this. the school tax
will bring in approximately $2S,-
000,o00 for the two years. and the
revenues Of the highway depart
ment for road construction and
maintenance. including federal aid.
close to S36,000,O GOO. The Confeder-
ate pension tax for two years will
bring in about s4,500.000. Thus it
appears the state government as a
whole will be a business Of app-oXl-
mately S58,000.000 a year for the
next two years.
Gov. Moody recited that prison
appropriations. claims and accounts,
and other items TO be appropriated
outside the general bills. will take
/ approximately 100000 off the
total available for general support
OF the state. leaving S4i,j00,000 for

and the Commission immediately
turned to the Land Institute as
the logical agency to undertake the
tremendous task Of getting at the
facts.
The institute set to work and some
months later Chicago had n a
OF data concerning real estate val
uationS such as probably no other
large city in the country has ever
had. The institute found that some
properties in the Chicago area had
been assessed at slightly less than
five per cent Of their sales values.
other at more than 100 per cent,
while the average was 80 per cent.
Naturally this information was Of
great interest to the property-own-
ing Chicago public.
This is an example Of how the
institute work Is of Importance to
property owners or prospective prop
erty owners throughout the country,
for it does not confine its activities
to Chicago by any means.
People had been dissatisfied with
the tax situation in Chicago for
some time. The information secured
by the impartial land institute con-
WINGED the legislature that the stu
alton was bad and in June 1923 ii
passed a bill that gave the state tax
commission authority TO make a
complete reasseSsment of all real
estate in Chicago and Cook county.
And when this gigantic task has
been finished, thousands Of taXpay-
ers who will find new and fairer
assessments in their mail boxes can
thank the land institute.
Subdivisions
But this is only one phase Of
the institutes work that is Of in
terest TO the public. One Of the
parts of its subdivision study, just
finished, may result in making more
attractive realty investments avail
able TO the public. It may also re-
suit in the building Of finer cities.
For this unique undertaking has
analysed the sources Of credit for
subdivision financing and set forth
the most economical sources for use
under certain conditions. To show
the Importance Of research in this
field of financing, the institute
points out that it sometimes costs
more TO get money for financial
subdivision development than TO buy
the land. Naturally If, and when,
financing costs are high. the burden
is passed on 70 the home buyer or
builder.
The financing study also sets
forth the amount OF land that
should be Handicapped or set aside
for park and recreational use in
communities OF various types.
This study takes up the impor-
tant matter Of how fast a subdi-
vision should grow to return the
meXimum investment TO its promo
ters and TO its ultimate buyers. II
also goes into the subjects OF subdi-
vision control and the proper size
Of real estate lots.
This is invaluable material for the
real estate profession. for city
/ planners. and financial agencies,
because 1t comprises the impartial
findings Of an organization that
can speak with authority. and such
data a be used as a guide in i'm
proving future realty developments.
A great part Of the institute re-
search work Is in the heretofore
! neglected public utility field. No
