ONLY SOME PIGS DIED TIME, BUI IT MIGHT BE BABIES NEXT TIME They were only pigs, but the manner in which they were handled illustrates the costliness of huT an carelessness. The story of how thjy lost their lives is wortli the telling because the United State Department of Agricul ture believes that similar, carelessness constantly endangers human lives. The story begins with a Florida far mer who recently sent a load of hogs to market. Upon post-mortem exam-' ination by a Government inspector at < the slaughter house where Federal 1 meat inspection is maintained a large 1 proportion of the swine were found I badly affected with tuberculosis. To locate the source of infection respon sible for the condition ,the Federal < Bureau of Animal Industry-which among its other duties aids states in eradicating tuberculosis-began an in)vestigation.

The trail led to New Orleans where it was leArned that two of the sows had come from Iowa, one from Maine. The Federal inspector ir ?harge communicated with the Iowa breeder from whom two of the sows ind been secured, and who was a vet 7-rinarian. He was induced to -apply The tuberculin test to his drove of iogs. There were a large number of 'reactors" in the pens, all ef which mn post-mortem examination were Found to be tuberculous. On the same Farm there was a herd of cattle that 1ad passed a tuberculin test several rears before but had since been on a show circuit where they were asso -iated with untested stock. Upon applying a retest to find the cource of infection several of the caf ;e reacted. When slaughtered they ;oo disclosed lesions of tuberculosis.

Summing up the evidence, Dr. J. G. Fish, the Federal inspector, states: 'The point I wish to make is: That the milk or by-producs that produde tuberculosis in pigs- would produce the same disease in babies using the same milk." The trail of infection is now being followed to Illinois and Maine to lo cate and, if possible, stamp out the disease at the other sources. - In the case mentioned the tuberculous stock menaced Florida. There is no way of telling what State might be endang ered the next time.

College, May 10.-Fv4 or six hills of sufnmer squashes threi or kour feet 'apart will produc4 enough squashes for the averag4 family. Summer squashes requir plenty of heat and should not lb planted until thq ground is reason ably warm. If possible the hil should be made. up a week or tw< in advance of planting the seed, i little well-rotted manure and a ta blespoonful of fertilizer behfg thor oughly mixed with the soil of eaci hill. Plant about seven or ' eigh seeds to the hill, cover one-half inc) deep, and thin to, three or four Young squash- seedings are some times attacked by the' striped .cu cumber beetle, but it is an 'easy mat ter to protect a few hills by coverinf each one . will a small piece of wir fly screen until the plants are ter (lays or two weeks old. Cucumbers should be planted an handled in the same manner as th4 squashes. / Two or three hills wil furnish enough cucumbers for tho average family, unless a large sup. ply is desired for pickles. Muskmelons require plenty oJ space, atd so should be placed onl3 in the large garden. Ten hills o1 Rocky Ford muskmelons, spaced fiv< feet apart will generally suppl3 muskmelons- for .the average family However, their season of productiot is comparatively short. The cultur is the same as for the squashes am cncumbers. It is well to give their a little additional fertilizer scatteret within two or three 'feet of the hilh at the time that the plants are being cultivated. The same precautions a to insects must be taken as witl squashes and cucumbers. A littl< (ry road (lust or powdered lim< sprinkled over and around the plant, may keep the bugs away, but th< safest method is to cover them vitf the wire fly screen or with chees< cloth. 0 PRUNE AND STAKE TOMATOES Clemson College, May 1.-Man3 of the best home gardeners followi the practice of pruning and staking tomatoes. Does it pay to prune thE vines to a single stem and tie their to stal~cs or trellises? This is the question which many home gardener, ask every year. It does pay, accord. ing to George P. Hoffman, Exten sion Service horticulturist especial. ly if the garden space is limited. To. mato plants left to themselves hav< i habit of spreading all over th< garden and producing their fruil right on the ground where it ho. comes covered with dirt every tino it rains, and is much more subject t( decay. he chief advantages of pruning -nd staking tomatoes are: 1. A larcre number of plants car be set on the given area. 2. The tomatoes will ripen a lit, tle earlier when plants are prune( and staked. 3. The fruit is kept off th< troundi, is clean, easy to gather, anm less likely to decay.' 4. The quality of the fruit i: usually better on plants that are prunedl and staked.
