Hog Slaughtering
Hints Are Offered

of hog slaughtering easier are
offered by . Jim Butler livestock

1 , Remove af eed and supply plen
ty of drinki( water for 24 hours
prior to slau :er. Butchering will
be. easier if .e lntestne are emp

Handle hogs quietly. If animals

Bleed hogs on clean straw or
rack to prevent bloody hair and
skin, which hay interfere with scald
Heat scafding water to 145 de

if the temperature is. much low

After picking and . scraping, re

possible, v s ;.;. -iffH
Remember that chilling is one
of the most important requirements
for .proper curing, of meat.. Car
casses should be split down the
back with a saw to aid chilling.
Dont allow meat to freezes Hang
carcasses' overnight at 30 to 45
degrees ;F; for best results, f
: For each 100 pounds of meat, use
eight pounds of salt, three pounds
of sugar, three ounces of salt -peter
Divide this mix and use
half the first day. Rub on meat and
keep meat in well-ventilated smoke

Over 43,000 Cows
Bred Artificially
History will some day record that
the development of artificial breed
ing played a leading role in mak
ing North Carolina a truly great
dairy state.
That's the opinion of T. C. Bla
lpck, dairy specialist for the state
College Extension Service, who re-
ported tlhis week that more than
117.000 dairy cows have been bred
in North Carolina artificially since
the program was started four yeari
ago.
The specialist said some 43.500
cows have been bred in 'V
12 months This is 10,000 higher
than the. 1950 total.
According to Bialock, most Tar
Heel , dairymen have been quick
to realize that through a program
utilizing nothing but high - indexed
desirably proved sires they can.
make rapid and certain progress..
A proved bull, Bialock explained
is one that has at least five un -selected
daughters that have each
completed at least one lactation.
The records ' of the? daughters
are then compared with the records
of their dams to determine what
level of production the bull Is
transmitting to his offspring. Only
those that have proved they can
consistently sirs high producing
daughters are purchased by the
Southeastern : Artificial Breeding
Association at Asheville for use in
North Carolina. ' r y
, Bialock said the quality of bulls
available to farmers in the Tar
Heel. State is well above the aver
age for the nation.

FW Baptist Orphanage In Middlesex
Kenansville foSks donated to the
Free Will Baptist Orphanage in
Middlesex this month the sum of
$175 which Is enough to operate
the orphanage one day, according
to Rev Stephen Smith, superin
tendent of the orphanage. Rev.
Smith has written a letter to Oli
ver Home here who made the
solicitation with a copy to the
Times for publication.
Mr. Smith went to the Orphan
age on November 1st. Prior to that
date he lived in Beulaville and
served Free Will Baptist churches
in this and other counties.
The letter reads:
Mr Oliver Home,
Kenansville, N. C.
Dear Oliver:
I appreciate more than I can
express in words the contributions
that you solicited from our friends
in KenansviKe. I am enclosing the
names that I have of the.contri -butions
but I do not have all of
the names so please thank every
one of them personally for me and
may God bless you and all of them
for their willingness to help orphan
children.
The total contribution amounted
to $175.00 which is enough to op
erate the institution one day. We
are doing very well here now but

To ' Highlight the aeUvity for

much thought to the fact that the
poinsettia comes into bloom only
at this season of the year. The
so-called blooms are really leafy
bracts which color up a brilliant
red. The true flowers are the
small, insignificant yellowish cups
found in the center of the whorl
of red bracts.
The poinsettia is one of a group
of plants known as short day plants
because they will bloom only in
the season of the year with short
day periods, preferably ten hours
or less. That is why the poinsettia
is always in bloom during the
Christmas season and not during .
the summer. It could fee prevented
from blooming by lengthening the
daylight period to 15 hours by
means of artificial light.
ducers may be a little lower ,
Commercial broiler production
will probably continue its long-time .
Increase, asssdted by the new aure
mycln vitamin B 12 feed sup
plement,' which helps bring birds to
maturity faster and on less feed.
Broilers today are supplying al
most half of the nation's chicken
meat compared to a negligible
amount 15 years ago.
Turkey growers are expected to
raise more small birds, which are
proving popular and economical
for year round use. A record of
52.8 million turkeys were produced
in 1951, and Indications are tb; t
the production of small and larga
turkeys wil increase in 192.
