"Hog killing" on the farm, in spite

much less t'.ar. the rest of purchased i 4

Home-Cured .Meat Cheapest.
The cheapest meat a farmer can
use is the product of his own farm.j
say the specialists. This is also tru*\
of the suburban or town farmer who
fattens one or two hogs on kitchen
inn! ti lick-garden wastes. .Many farm- 1
ers, it is said. will have their own J
meal supply for the first time this
year. The publication just issued 1
lakes the farm butcher step by step
through the processes of slaughter- 1
ing, cutting up the ca 'cass, lard mak- .
ing, cuiing, sausage making, and
smoking. It tells also how to make a
small ice house which may he used
r.ot only for meat but for othei perish
able products. Suggestions as to how
farm butchering may be made a paying
enterprise commercially are giv<
n, and ;t :s declared that selling farm
animals a: meat is one of the best
ways to market them.
Kquipmenl Needed
This is the equipment needed for
slaughtering. An S-inch straight sticking
knfie, a cutting knife, a 14-inch
steel, a hog hook, a bell-shaped stick ;
scraper, a gumbrel, and a meat saw. |
More than one of each of these tools
may be necessary if many hogs arc to
he handled and slaughtered to best'
advantage. A barrel makes a ver>
convenient rcccptac!0 in which e>
scald the animal. It should be ]>!aced
;if an angle of about A-> degress at
the end of a table or platform of prop

should be securely fastened to prc\cnt

tackle will reduc(. r.c labor of handl'mtr

Only hogs which ai> known to
healthy should be butchered. The
quality of tho meat is always impaired
by fever 01 other derangements
and there is always danger that di>^
ease may be transmitted to those who
eat the meat < f diseased hogs. Hogs

DESTROY CORN STUBBLE;
Farmer* Can Reduce Damage from J
Corn Stalk Borer by Turning
Under Stubble in Fall.
Oorn stubble should not be allowed
to stand In the field all winter undisturbed.
The corn stalk borer is one
:>f the "reasons" for this. This insect
in one of the most notorious corn
pests of the South and evidence of it*
work can be seen in practically any
.'orn field at harvest time. It is the
ause of the holes that may occur in
iny portion of a stalk.
The corn stalk borer remains as a
arva, or worm, in the base of corn
itubble beneath the ground during the
winter. Farmers do this Insect a
;reut favor, therefore, when they let
heir corn stubble stand undisturbed

Destroying corn stubble is not very ;
pasy, except on modernly equipped j
arms where there is sufficient horse j
lower and the stubble can be turn- i
?d under thoroughly. There is. there- '
ore. some temptation to leave it un?
iisturbed. Hut the advantages of
urnitig stubble are such that a farmer
cannot well afford not to do it.
Fuming it under helps very much in
educing the corn stalk borer for
lie next season.
Where thorough turning cannot be
practiced, there are other methods
;ueh as "busting out" the stubble and
lauling it to the compost heap for roting.
Hv another method, after the
or 11 is gathered, stalks, .stubble, and
everything else may be "busted out." j
*ahed into heaps and. after a few
vceks for drying, burned. In experinentul
work a very large percentage
>f corn stalk borer larvae (worms)
ivas destroyed during winter whore
lie stubble was plowed out and left
exposed to the weather.
But when these methods are prac*
iced by fanners only here and there,
t will not help the situation very
much. The control of the corn stalk
borer depends upon the co-operative
lotion of the fanners of a community.
The fact must also he borne in
mind that it is an extravagant practice
to let corn fields lie idle and exposed
during the winter months, not
billy on account of these insect posts,
hut also on account of the loss from
washing and leaching of soils.

CONTROL SAN JOSE SCALE
Do Not Let Winter Pass Without Making

The most satisfactory spray is linio.sulfur
wash. When purchased from
a reputable house it is more uniformly
effective Ihftn when boiled according
to the old method. Directions for
preparing the home-made wash, however.
will he furnished on request.
To prepare the spray from conmiorrial
wash, dilute one gallon of the
wash with eight and one-half gallons
of cold water. (Trdinarily, one spray
is enough. In had cases, spray as soon
as the leaves are off and repeat in
February. We do not recomnvntl
spraying with this material after the
buds have started.
Lime-sulfur wash will not success

Winter Time May be Utilize

Winter presents opportunities 011
the farm which do not offer themselves
at any other season of the yeur,
says A. F. Conradi, chief of the division
of entomology of Clemson College.
It certainly is a mistake to regard
winter the off or idle season of
the year.
In conversation with a farmer living
in the cotton boll-weevil territory,
the writer was proudly told that this
farmer had destroyed all his cotton
stalks early in the fall. He was convinced
that he had done the right
thing and was resting easy and - intended
to rest until planting time,
j That this farme: was able to get his
I crop picked in time to destroy his
stalks early was excellent, but it
was only Hie beginning of the campaign.
His neighbors had not been

it had not been possible to
gather tlu> crop in time. On many
farms this stop is neglected or omitted
because its importance is not
realized.
Fight the Boll Weevil During Winter.
On all the farms where cotton
stalks are destroyed early, as well as
on all the farms where this is not
done, winter will hold a great opportunity
before the farmers for a hoavv
I blow against the boll weevil. Many
over-wintering weevils can be found
in trash and rubbish in the fields.
They are at the mercy of the farmers
if they only will refuse to believe thai
j vif.cr is the off season. Many of the
( weevils can be destroyed bv collecting
the trash and then composting or
burning it. Plowing and subsequent
harrowing the land is still more effective.
The work does not end here. Multitudes
of weevils leave the cotton
fields and winter along hedges, fences.
I turnrows. old b lildings and in other
waste places. Can the farmer regard
winter the season of rest when thes"
i winter hotels are on his farm shelter
| Ing hordes of weevils? Old sorghum
stubble, which traps all kind of rub
bish blown about by the wind, offers
protection to the pest. The Bureau
[ of Kntoniology. United St,ties Depart
ment of Agriculture, gives an illus
tration where the first infestation bv
weevils in one of their experimental
j fields occurred in the immediate vi
einity of an old peach orchard Where
I the weeds grew unchecked from veat
to year.
When State Entomologist of Toxa:
?
the writer had an isolated experimen

ing weevils collected from othes
fields. Tlxree weeks before the first
killing frost, after the cotton had heei
picked, the stalks were destroyed, tin

crop. During the winter the neighbor
hood of the field was cleaned of trash
weeds, old grass and underbrush. Tin

season and no appreciable injury re

was an exceptional opportunity fo

Preventing Red Spider in Cotton.
While doing this we must not forget
that along the edges of the held, along
terraces, ditch hanks and other wssfo
places are the old poke-weed plants,
furnishing accommodations for cotton
red spider. Similar accommodations
exist around tenant houses where viojlets
are grown. Destroy the poke
1 weeds, root and all. It would be worth
iflie effort to go over it with your ten|ants
and induce thein to .substitute
some other flowers for violets. UnIdoubtedly.
yet: nave seen the red spicier
spread from tenant houses as cen;ters;
you have seen, time and again.

las rabbit tobacco, is a common weed
i i 11 the sandy sections of the South
j which shelters the hud-worm bee'le

'into corn fields in the spring, causing

j much replanting. Also, the weed bar|
hers, on its roots, the cotton-root lice.
. Here they are diligently supported hv
ants which have made burrows from
J their nests to the roots of the plant,
from where they transfer to the young
cotton. If the winter food of the
louse is absent the ant loses interest :
and this fact is taken advantage of. j
