Caution on Using Sodium Fluoride
For Worming Hogs:
Sodium fluoride has been found to
be the cheapest and most effective
method for treating hogs for round
worms-if used right.
1T SHOULD NOT BE MIXED IN
THE SLOP, but used in dry feed.
If it is used properly, only one
treatment with sodium fluoride is
necessary to control roundworms in
PIGS and hogs. You must be careful
to mix the sodium fluoride thorough
ly with the dry feed. Poorly mixed
with dry feed or mixed in slop, So
dunn fluoride is poisonous to hogs.
The procedure to follow in using
sodium fluoride for worming hogs
is as follows:
Give hogs about half their daily
ration the day before treatment.
Mix one pound of sodium fluoride
carefully and thoroughly with SO
pounds of dry feed. This amount is
enough to treat from 20 to Is hogs.
For small amounts, mix n level
teaspoon of sodium fluoride with n
quart of dry feed.
Put enough of the mixture in a
trough large enough to provide from
8 to 5 pounds of feed for each hog,
depending on weight. 1t is best to
feed small groups at a time so each
hog will get a sufficient dose.
Treat the pigs in n group, the
shoats in another, and the grown
hogs in a third group.

Frozen Pork
For best flavor, frozen pork should
be used in 5 OF. 6 months after it is
stored. A good idea is to put the date
Of storage on the package SO none OF
the pork will be left in the freezer
too long.
When stored too long, the fat in
pork gradually becomes rancid and
the meat loses its best flavor. Salt
speeds UP rancidity so storage time
of frozen and cured meat should be
shorter than that of unsalted meat.

Pruning Shrubs

Pruning Shrubs
Most shrubs are pruned in the win
ter when plants are dormant. In gen.
eral shrubs may be placed in four
groups according to time and extent
of pruning.
The first group includes those
which grow slowly and are pruned
to remove dead wood only. Common
examples are Towering almond,
Towering ounce, pearlbush, wilbur
NUNS and most broadleaf evergreens.
The second group includes plants
which grow rapidly and produce
blooms on the previous years grow
tn. They should be pruned immedia-
tely after blooming. Remove one
fifth to one third of the previous
years growth. Included in this group
are barberry, dogwoods, b~eautybush
(kolkwitzia), deutzias. forsythias'
jasmines (early blooming). winter
honeysuckle and weigelas.
The third group includes fairly
rapid growing plants which produce
blooms on the current seasons grow
tn. They may be pruned at any time
during the dormant eason Included
in this group are althea, crepe myr-
tie, honeysuckle Except winter
honeysuckle) and privets.
The fourth group includes plants
that produce blooms IN the current
seasons growth and may be pruned
any time during the dormant season.
These plants grow very rapidly,
making it necessary to remove all
two year and older wood. Examples
are butterflybush, coralberry, hy-
