FARM AND GARDEN

at all for at least "a hours before
they are killed, but should have
plenty of fresh water. In this way
the animal gets rid of the contents
of the stomach and intestines and
insures a good bleed when the ami
NAL is slaughtered. The meat will
also cure better when the small
blood vessels are free from food
products and blood. The animal
should never be excited or over
heated before killing as this pro-
duces feverish condition which
prevents proper bleeding and
causes the meat to sour while in
cure.
Question: When should land be
prepared for planting early garden
crops?
Answer: Where the lands has a
clay subsoil it should be plowed in
the fall for best results. The freez-
ing and thawing during the winter
months with pulverize and mellow
the soil. Fall blowing will also aid
in the destruction of insect pests
and plant diseases. On heavy soils,
or soils that are not well drained,
beds should be thrown up at the
fall blowing. BY breaking up the
land in the fall, earlier paintings
can be made of the hardy or semi
hardy crops and the soil will be in
better shape for late paintings.
Avoid Wrong Way OF
Killing Hogs
The farmer who uses haphazard
methods and trusts to luck at hog
killing time runs a big risk of los
ing his meat.
The right way to kill hogs is just
as easy as the wrong way, suggests
r. E. Nance, professor of animal
husbandry at State College, and
with proper curing, it virtually as
sures successful preservation of the
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1935-11-21

meat.
Many of the methods employed
in Dads time" were responsible
for the heavy losses usually expert
enced. Nance pointed out some of
the worst faults, as follows:
Hogs weer usually killed on the
coolest day of mid-winter, under
the impression that the extreme
cold helped preserve the meat. Bit
ter cold weather made the task diff
ficult, and it was rushed through in
too big a hurry.
A temperature of % to 40 degrees
is preferable. The carcasses should
be allowed to hang up overnight in
the smokehouse so as to let all the
animal heat dissipate before the
curing is started.
The custom of shooting hogs or
knocking them in the head was
prevalent. Then the hogs were
dragged to a vat of water that was
either too hot or too cold.
The bodies were bruised, the car
cases did not bleed properly, and
the hair did not scrape off as it
should. Stick the hogs, Nance said,
allow them to bleed thoroughly,
and sca1d them in water heated to
$50 degrees, no more no less.
Do not feed the hogs within Sd
hours of killing time. Doing SO
wastes feed and makes the car
cases harder to dress. Do not cut up
the carcasses until the next day, he
advised.

ST. LOUIS PHYSICIAN
CLAIMS HE HAS FOUND
CURE FOR ARTHRITIS
Chicago Doctor Says Discovery Of
Cancer Cure Would Be
Big News

Successful treatment of arthritis
by administering drugs externally
with an electric current was report
ed in st. Louis, Saturday by a uni
versity physician.
DR.. A. J. Katkis, director of
physical therapy, said the process
had been used experimentally in
the laboratory on dogs and rabbits
and had proved successful in the
university clinic in treating arth-
ritis, rheumatism, and other all
ments resulting from structures of
blood vessels and nerve fbers.
The scientist said use of the cleo
trio current enabled physicians to
feed a steady stream of medicine to
the patient.
Shortly after this announcement,
DR.. Morris Fishbein, Chicago doc
tor, answered the question what
would be the number one story of
the year by saying it would be the
announcement of the cause and
cure of cancer.
After answering the question, DR..
Fishbein recalled, to the delight OF
visiting reporters, the "hot water
girl of Escanaba." She astounded
the world in 1923 with a fever
ranging from ia to 118. It contin-
ued for 20 days. Then DR.. Fishbein
went up and piled a hot water
bottle out of her bed.
"Other fellows shoot ducks" he
said. 81 shoot quacks."

High Yield Will
Cut Production
: Costs In Half
Average Cost Per Box For
Pears Is About
81 Gents

In study Of the cost OF producing
pears In washington just completed
by Chester @. Hampson and E. ~.
Landerholm of the Washington agri-.
cultural experiment station, State Col
lege of Washington, it was found that
the average cost per box for 1882 was
81 q 10 cents. Lowest costs were found
in orchards having trees of highest
Yields. In orchards averaging 1000
boxes of pears per acre the cost was
So cents per box Where the yield was
as low as 200 boxes per acre, the cost
was more than doubled or $l.25 per
box. The average yield per acre was
355 boxes.
In periods of low prices it is par
ticularly important to reduce the cost
of production per unit, that is, per
ton. per box, or per bushel, as much
as possible. 1t costs nearly as much
per acre to grow small crop as
large one, because generally overhead
items remain the same. True, the total
cost per acre increases somewhat as
Yields increase, largely because OF ad-
ditional harvesting costs, but more i'm
portant is the fact that the per unit
costs decrease as the yields increase.
According to Edward G. johnson
dean of agriculture and director Of
the experiment station, the manuscript
reporting this work by Hampson ane
Landerholm will be published in thf
near future and made available to al
fruit growers of the state.

Now You See Him,
Now You Don't!

The grounding played fast and
loose with this valley last Saturday,
scurrying away from his shadow in
some places and contentedly survey
ing layers of fog in others. So, If there
is anything at all in the old formula,
the next six weeks should see patches
of snow and ice interspersed with
budding trees and spring weather.
Reports from Cold Creek conflict,
some saying that the pup couldn't
possibly have seen even the hint OF
a shadow, while those on higher pieces
of land say that the sun managed to
outwit the mist and shine through for
a short time. White Bluffs and Han
ford are consistent in their report OF
no sun, no shadow as is the Allard-
Vernita district But across the river
the sun shone brightly for part OF
the day, Illuminating the bluffs and
highlands in warm contrast to the
western side of the river. Wenatchee
says that "the grounding sold out &c
the fuel dealers, and other parts OF
Ullc RICdU OOlulllOAl VeAAASy ASSOA wv

of weather the central portion OF
Washington may have, it looks as il
the grounding would be acquitted or
