Wagner’s Garage. Can The Surplus of Sweet_Potato Crop Andrew M. Sou.e, Pres. Georgia State College Of Agriculture The canning of sweet potatoes is a matter of great importance, and on this account considerable attention has been directed to this problem by the Georgia State College of Agricul ture. Two years ago an instructor was appointed in the Department of Hor ticulture in the person of Prof. R. E. Blackburn. In addition to his teaching work, he undertook Investigations with the canning of sweet potatoes in the hope of discovering a cheap and desirable method of preserving them. It is important to remember that the potato should not be allowed to cool from start to finish of the processing. The experiments indicate that sweet potatoes may be canned successfully in quite a number of different ways. Among those which have given the greatest degree of satisfaction are, first, the direct, open process which requires about five hours; second, the intermittent open process which takes one hour a day for three days in suc cession; third, the use of steam at a pressure of five pounds and requiring two hours to complete the work; fourth, steam under ten pounds pres sure and requiring about seventy-five minutes; and fifth, steam under fif teen pounds pressure and requiring about fifty minutes to complete the work. The first two methods would, of course, be better adapted for use In the farm home than the latter three. ■ It was found after many trials that sugar syrup is of little value in the canning of sweet potatoes. In other words, it is best to pack them dry. It is advised in conclusion that steam be used in the canning of sweet potatoes even in the home. A small canner will cost about sls. The pota toes may be successfully peeled by hand if cooked for forty-five minutes. They should be packed while hot and the cans sealed. Tin is preferable to glass for sweet potatoes. The pro cessing should be done under ten pounds pressure continued for seven ty-five minutes. The cans should be cooled by filling the retort with cold water before the cans have a chance to air-cool, or just as soon as the pro cessing period i* over, and the steam then be allowed to escape from ‘he retort.

TO KEEP HOG CHOLERA FROM REACHING YOUR HERD Dr. A. L. Hirleman, U. 8. Vet. Field Agt., Ga. College Of Agriculture Locate your hog lots and pastures away from streams and public high ways, and do not allow your hogs to run free range. Do not visit your neighbor or allow him to visit you, if either of you have hog cholera on your premises. Do not drive into hog lots when re turning from market or after driving on public highways. Do not use hog lots for yarding wagons and farm implements. Do not place newly purchased stock, stock secured or loaned for breeding purposes, or stock exhibited at county fairs, with your herd. Keep such stock quarantined at least two weeks, and use Care to prevent carrying infection from these to other pens in feeding and attending stock. Burn to ashes or cover with quick lime and bury under four feet of earth all dead animals and the vis cera removed from animals at butch ering time because they attract the at tention of buzzards, dogs, etc., which are liable to carry hog cholera infec tion. Confine your dogs and do not keep pigeons unless you confine them. INDIAN SPRINGS. Miss Dovie Bryans is at home from Atlanta to spend the win ter. The many friends of Mrs. 0. D.

State College Of Agriculture ' ..| - > M you expect your pullets to lajjt this winter you should begin early to put them in oohdltion to lay. Thu termers’ wives who make a suecesS of poultry keeping hive this idea 61 winter eggs in mind all summer and select for this purpose. Those pullets that werd late hatched or were slow in maturing, should 1)6 fed liberally to put on as much growth and fat as possible to mature them'; but it is the early hatched, well ma tured pullet that can he most, rcliefi upon to lay during the winter. Feed the late hatched piillets liberally oh corn, wheat and oats, with a masfci made of wheat seconds or of bran and shorts, and corn meal with 16 per cent of commercial meat scraps or cotton seed meal. Do not neglect any of the lll'ihgh that will keep the chickens strong and healthy. Supply the chickens with plenty of grit, oyster shell, charcoal and green feed, and give them the run of the farm or of a grassy plot. A weak chicken will lay few eggs any time of the year, and especially few during the winter. Prepare a house for your pullets this fall so that they will be protected from severe weather and the rains. They need this protection to lay large numbers of eggs. and is expected to return home next week. Regardless of the inclemency of the weather quite a number attended the Butts County Fair.
