Then bad investments cleaned him. Now he faces a grand theft charge in Los Angeles. Ous says the charge is false, that he put up a $1,700 ring as security an a loan but somehow a cheap ring showed up in its place.

HOGS SHOULD BE KILLED COOL DAY Present Time is the Best Time, Expert at N. C. State College Points Out SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE "Hog-killing time. How this ex pression stirs the activity of the farm family as cold weather ar rives! "It means plenty of hard work, but it also means fresh pork, sausage, spare ribs, liver pud ding, cracklin' corn bread fill ing the smoke-house," said Prof. R. E. Nance, of State College. A moderately cool day, with the weather above freezing, is better than a bitter cold day for hog-killing, he continued. Stop feeding the hogs 24 hours before they are to be slaughtered. It is easier to clean and dress the carcass when the digestive trait is empty. And when the system is not gorged with food, the blood will drain out more readily, carcass when the digestive tract is imals before killing. Getting the hog wrought-up produces a fever ish condition that prevents pro per bleeding and causes the meat to sour while in cure. For scalding the carcass, Pro fessor Nance said that water at a temperature of 150 degrees is best. In cold weather, add a bucket of cold water to half a barrel of boil ing water, and this will give about the right temperature. Or dip the finger into the water quickly. If it burns severely the first time, it is too hot. But if the finger can be dipped in three times in quick succession, with the water burning severely the third time, the temperature is about right. , A vat sunk into the ground be side a platform close to the ground level provides a conven ient place to scald the carcass and scrape off the hair. Tools that will aid in dressing the carcass are: A common six or eight-inch butcher knife, a six inch skinning knife, a smooth steel for sharpening knives, sev eral hog gambrel sticks, two bell shaped hog scrapers and a 28- inch meat saw.
