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. One ton of mixed hay occupies *OO .pubic feet. 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.
