AVOID WRONG WAY
OF KILLING HOGS
The farmer who uses haphaz
ard methods and trusts to luck
at hog-killlng time runs a big
risk of losing his meat.
The right way to kill hogs is
just as easy as the wrong way,
suggests R. E. Nance, professor
of animal husbandry at State col
lege, and with proper curing. H
virtually asures successful pre
servation of the meat.
Many of the methods employed
in“dad’s time” were responsible
for the heavy losses usually ex
perienced. Nance points out
some of the worst faults, as fol
lows;
Hogs were usually kiled on the
coldest day of mid-winter, under
the impression that the extreme
cold helped preserve the meat.
Biter cold weather made the task
difficult, and it was rushed thru
in too big a hurry.
temperature of 2S to 40 de
grees is preferable. The carcases
should be allowed to hang up
overnight in the smokehouse so as
to let all the animal heat dissi
pate before the curing is started.
The custom of shooting hogs
or knocking them in the head
was prevalent. Then the hogs
were dragged to a vat of water
that was either too hot or too
cold.
The bodies were bruised, the
carcasse.s did not bleed properly,
and the hair did not scrape off as
it. should. Stick the hogs, Nance
says, allow them to bleed thor
oughly, and scald them in water
heated to 150 degrees, no more,
no less.
Do not feed the hogs within 24
hours of killing time. Doing so
wastes feed and makes the car
casses harder to dress. Do not
cut up the carcasses until the
next day, he advises.
FIELD MICE OFTEN
KILL APPLE TREES
Hungry field mice, gnawing
away sapwood from the trunks
and roots of apple trees, will
sometimes ruin a good orchard
during a single winter.
The mice attack the trees at
the surface and just under the
ground, occasionally girding a
tree completely around the trunk,
says H. R. Niswonger, extension
horticiilturi.st at State college.
Sometimes the damage is only
slight at first, hut usually root-
rot organisms enter the tree and
eventually kill it by causing the
entire root system to decay.
Two kinds of field mice are
commonly found in apple orch
ards in winter; the common
meadow mouse and the short-tail
ed pine mouse. The latter is
more destructive, Niswonger
says.
The meadow mice migrate to
orchards from open fields when
their food supply becomes scarce.
They make numerous runways
under grass and other littler un
der the trees. They gnaw the
tree trunks at the surface of the
ground.
The pioe mice come from near
by titnberlands and burrow holes
and runways under the ground
surrounding the apple trees. They
eat away sapweed from both the
trunks and the roots.
These pests may be controlled,
Niswonger pointed out, by de
stroying th^ grass 1-nd weeds
under the trees and by putting
out poisoned wheat bait.
The bait may be placed in old
tin cans or bottles laid on their
sides or in bait stations made by
bending a rectangular piece of
tin into a half cylinder and tack
ing the two edges to a narrow
strip of wood The tin forms a
hood-like coveting for the bait.
The control measures should
be carried out in November, as
the first migrations of mice to
orchards begin In this month.

“Every Red Croee chapter ia being
asked to play a part In thie cam
paign,” Mr. Fleser rtW. rHazarda In
the various communities will be
pointed out The children In our
schools throughout the country will
be given a list of the home hazards
and asked to enroll parents or rela
tives In the fight against them."
Nearly five million men, women,
and children were temporarily dis
abled In the homes of America last
year by accidents, officials of the
National Safety Council have re
vealed. Most of the accidents in
which persons were killed and In
jured could have been prevented,
according to this safety agency, this
fact alone largely motivating the
Red Cross drive for accident elim
ination. *
Active cooperation of socitd, civic,
educational, veterans', and other
groups has been secured. Red Cross
Inspection forms or home check lists
will be distributed to homes where
there are no children with the help
of these organizations.
Due to Inaccessibility and lack of
compensation coverage, little or no
pioneering has been done In the
field of farm rafety, the Red Cross
states. However, more people were
accidentally killed In agricultural
pursuits last year than in any other
occupation, making the need for
safety education and farm home in
spection apparent.
Other agencies now active in the
accident-prevention field point to the
fact that, because of Its nearly 13,-
000 chapters and branches, the Red
Cross has a unique opportunity to
auoceesBully promote a project of
this nature.
Home accidents Injure many more
than do automoibile accidents; they
kill nearly as many, claiming an av-
erageofabout 80 lives dally. In terms
of dollars and cents, for the practi
cal minded, home accidents cost
more than |1,000 per minute.
Accidents of all types are Public
Enemy No. 4. Only three diseases
cause as many deaths each year,
heart disease, cancer, and cerefcral
hemorrhage.
“The home is not the place of
safety It Is commonly supposed to
be,” said Mr. Fleser In commenting
on the new Red Crow service to the
community. "The Red Cross, as a
port of Its chartered obligation to
prevent death and alleviate, suffer
ing, Is conducting this humanitarian
pre^ram to cut down the mounting
toll of avoidable personal Injury and
death in the homes of the country.”
The annual Red Cross roll call,
running from Armistice Day to
Thanksgiving Day, Is one of the
means of backing such a campaign.
All citizens of the United States are
offered the opportunity to join and
assist In the work of the organiza
tion.

QUESTION" AND ANSWER
Q.—How long should a hog be
off feed before killing?
A.—Hogs should not be fed at
all for at least 24 hours before
they are killed, but should have
plenty of fresh water. In this
way the animal gets rid of the
contents of the stomach and in
testines and insures a good bleed
when the animal is slaughtered.
The meat will also cure better
when the small blood vessels are
free from food products and
blood
be excited or overheated before
i killing as this produces a fever
ish condition which prevents
proper bleeding and cansee the
meat to sour while in cure.
