Home Landscape Gardening
T. H. McHatton, Professor Of HsrtU
culture, Georgia State Coh
lege Of Agriculture
Fall and winter are Buitabke for
planting trees and shrubs on the home
grounds. Put the shrubs about the
base of the house, the corners of
walks, intersections of roads, around
edges and in the corners of the lawn,
but never in its center.
Avoid straight lines in planting.
Good shrubs to use are the various
spirias, barbara, privets, cape Jasa
mine, tea olive, various crataegii, Eng
lish laurel, narrow leaf evergreens,
arbor vitae and junipers.
Shade trees should be planted
around the lawn, along the walks, at
the intersection of roads, walks. Oaks
are very desirable, water, live and
pin oaks being excellent. Magnolias,
maples, particularly Norway maples;
sycamore; in certain sections, elms;
and evergreen trees such as deodora
cedar, Hymalian pine and ordinary
pines may be planted.
It is not unusual for cotton to suf
fer a loss of from $3 to $5 per bale as
a result of unnecessary exposure. At
all times it should be kept off the
ground and properly sheltered.
The silo not only furnishes econom
ical storage, but it enables the farmer
to handle his crop cheaper than by
any other method.

Nog Killing Pointers
Dr. W. M. Burson, Veterinarian, Geor
gia State College Of Agriculture
Give hogs water but no feed for a
day before killing.
Bleed the hog with an eight-inch
straight-bladed knife.
Be sure bleeding is done before
scalding or the skin may be left too
red.
A heavy blow with an axe between
the eyes will stun the animal before
sticking.
The meat may spoil If the animal
is excited before killing, or the weath
er is warm afterwards.
Scrape as quickly and rapidly as
possible after scalding. The cold car
cass is hard to scrape well.
Bleeding will be finished more quick
ly if the animal lies on a steep slope
with its head down hill, or is suspend
ed by hind leg '.
Keep the hog moving in the barrel.
If the animal is left pressed against
the barrel the hot water cannot get
at that part of the carcass.
Scraping is easier if a shovelful of
hardwood ashes, a lump of lime, some
concentrated lye or a handful of soft
soap has been added to the water.
Use a thermometer. Do not attempt
to scald with the water at above 150
degrees. A good scald can be obtain
ed at 140 degrees but it takes longer.
In opening the carcass, split the
pelvic hone between the hams with a
knife by cutting exactly in the center.
To open the breastbone with a knife
cut a little to one side of the center,
but do not let the point of the knife
get behind a rib.
Heavy hogs should he split down the
backbone so as to allow thorough cool
ing. The leaf fat should be removed
while the carcass is warm.
On very heavy hogs the shoulders
may be cut off and laid on table to
cool. $
See that all meat is thoroughly cool-’
ed before putting in salt or brine.
If you wish directions for cutting, I
curing and lard and sausage making, j
apply to Veterinary Department, Stato '
College of Agriculture. and
If you are in need of a
nice Serge dress in large
sizes, we have some fine
dresses at half price.
