Prevention of Horns on
Young Calves Explained

In response to frequent requests,
a county agent, in the Pacific Rural
Press, gives the following directions
for prevention of horns on young
calves:
When the calf reaches the age
from three to five days, clip away
the hair from around the horn but
tons to expose the spot where the
horns will normally develop. Take
a stick of Caustic soda or caustic
potash and wrap one end with a
piece of paper to prevent the dan
ger Of burning your fingers. MOis-
ten the uncovered end of the caus-
tic stick but do not wet it so it
will run. Apply the wet end of the
cauStic stick to the horn buttons,
first on one, then on the other,
repeating this two or three times
until you are sure all of the horn
button has been thoroughly covered
with the cauStic material The caus-
tic should be allowed to dry after
each application. Under no condi-
ton permit the caustic to touch 9TH
er than the horn buttons. After COM
pleting the work keep the calf away
from moisture that might reach the
horn buttons and cause the cauS-
tic to run down over the face.

Alfalfa in Pig Ration

Alfalfa is sometimes added to the
pig ration to add minerals and vi
tamins, which are especially valu-
able in the sow ration. For grow
ing pigs, states a writer in the Mon
treal Herald, alfalfa should not be
used as pigs cannot digest any ap-
preciable amounts of dry roughage.
Their digestive systems are not
adapted to such feed, either to di-
gest it or to hold enough of it to
make it satisfa ctory source of nu-
trients especially if rapid growth Ss
to be obtained. Brood soWs are a
different problem. They are large,
but not growing, and hence can Oft
en- profit by having their rations
made more bulky.

Oats, Barley for Calves

In general oats are preferable to
barley for growing calves if one
must be fed to the exclusion of the
other. If both grains are on hand
use a mixture of the two with oats
constituting at least ~ the combina-
ton. The addition of barley to the
oats, especially if the latter happen
to be of poor quality. will materially
increase the feeding value. Barley
should not be fed as the sole grain
if it can be arranged to include
some other grain with the barley

Best Pork From
Conditioned Hog
Animals Should Weigh
From 200 to $50 Lbs. to
Make Best Meat.

BY H. w. Taylor. Extension Swine Spe-
cialist, North Carolina State College.
WNU Service.
Getting hogs in good condition
for slaughtering is one of the main
points in successful butchering. The
best pork comes from hogs that
are neither too young nor too old,
too fat or too thin.
Butcher hogs should be we'll fin
ished. A well finished hog weigh
ing from 200 to $50 pounds produces
the most satisfa ctory pork for cur
ing on the farm.
Smooth, evenly fleshed animals
produce a better meat, and will
cut up with less waste than coarse,
rough, wrinkled, and fabby ones.
They also are more tender, finer
textured, with the right proportion
of fat and lean.
Hogs that are gaining in weight
are usually the healthiest and will
make the best meat. However, the
loss of a few pounds in shipping
before butchering will not lower the
quality of the meat.
The muscles of a thin hog are
tough. They lack the flavor and
juiciness found in a we'll marbled
piece of meat.
Extremely fat, heavy hogs can
not be converted into the best quail
ity cured pork.
Although hogs may be slaugh-
tered at any age, meat from young
pigs is watery and soft and does not
have the flavor and keeping quail
ties of meat from animals a little
older.

TODD JURY HAS
ANOTHER KEY
WITNESS

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 9 Q.N.s0
Armed with new evidence expected
to give the lie to testimony of
many principals, the Los Angeles
county grand jury today prepared
to reopen its investigation into the
death of Thelma Todd.
A new key witness" is Gustav
Berger, 80, former waiter in Thel.
ma Todd's sidewalk cafe, now
held in San Diego on bad-check
charge. Berger is said to have
told grand jury representatives
he could prove much of the pre-
ViouS testimony was false.
''Mystery Woman" Sought
While members Of the grand
Jury admitted they were looking
for another witness, a mystery
woman" also reported in the
Southern city, it was expected
they would ask to have Berger
brought before them when they re-
assemble today.
Interviewed by representative
of International News Service in
San Diego, Berger said Miss Todd'S
alterations with an unnamed
man in her cafe were common
knowledge among the help. He
declared:
Sometimes 1t was jealousy
and sometimes financial mat
tiers. But she was beaten up,
and once was thrown out Of
the cafe into the rain"
Berger, who has several auto
graphed pictures of his former
employer, joined with the many
notables of the film colony here
in proclaiming Miss Todd much
too happy" to have wanted to
take her own life.
No Poison in Body
Meanwhile it was learned here
that County Chemist r. j. Aber-
nethy has completed his ANALYSIS
without discovering any drugs or
poisons in Miss Todd's body.

A square deal for the rural
South was demanded by speakers
today at the general missionary
council convention, in session at

Tuesday.
Declaring that the Methodist
Church South Is not reaching the

A. Frank Smith, Of Houston, Tex,
blamed this situation on poverty,
tenancy and lack of training. He
said:
"TwO-thirds Of our member
ship Is in rural sections, but we
shunt our least capable minis
tiers to these churches. Their
average salary Is less than 5000,
much Of it lin kind But a gift
Of hay will not run an autOmO-
bile. We have to get out Of the

Urging that the growth Of home
ownership will bring change, he
predicted Improvement in South
ern conditions as a result Of the
spread of industry to small towns.

ship was singled out by Secretary
of Commerce Roper as the chief
virture of the church, In a brief
