'Kambl'mg Jm 6 lay'
By Mrs. Neil R. Kitchens
With hog killing time just
?round the corner, there is ?
lot of people talking about
'cracklin bread* and fresh
sausage. Heard Bayse Mc
Clure say die other day that
to add some ground cracklins
to rye bread makes some
mighty good "chewin". Have
never tried any of that, but
knowing his wife to be a mighty
good cook, I bet he is right.
1 have never found that
prok kept too long in the
freezer was very good. Mrs.
Paul Cheeks shared some
backbones and ribs and also
pork chops with us in Oct
ober that were just as good
as fresh ones and they were
put in last year at hog killing
time.
For others who would like
to share this tip, Mrs. Cheeks
used the quart milk cartons,
packed in the meat, then fil
led the cartons with water and
sealed 'hem. It really pre -
serves pork very nicely. Talk
about country cured ham, we
enjoyed some of the best ever
this year. Have to give
credit to Mr. and Mrs. Dee
Barnard for this. They put our
hams up in sugar cure last
fall and they are by far the
Blackleg
Hits CC
Cattle
HAYESVILLE - Blackleg,
a deadly cattle disease, has
hit several Clay cattle farm
ers in the past three weeks.
Most of the disease has been
confined to the Downings
Creek section.
According to the Farm
Quarterly published in Cin
cinnati!, Ohio, by the F & W
Publishing Corp. , blackleg is
a disease of young cattle and
also attacks sheep. Animals
over 2 years old and calves
under 4 months seem to be
practically immune. Those
between 4 months and 2 years
old are in the age bracket
that is very dangerous.
Once symptoms are evident
it usually proves fatal with
in 12 to 36 hours, the animal
dying with a generalized tox
emia. The seat of the disease
is usually in the shoulder or
hip, though it is not uncommon
- that it seems to affect the
animal all over.
The calf becomes stif and
lame and swelling appears,
caused by gas formed in the
course of infection. The car
cass of the animal is bloated
so tight its skin is almost
bursting and die two legs on
the upper side of the body are
pointed rigidly skyward. When
the hand is passed over the
swellings there is a crackling
sound like the crumpling of
paper or cellophane. Death
occurs within 12 to 36 hours.
The disease is caused by a
bacillus -type organism, Clos
tridium Chauvie, which has
two stages of life, a vegetat
ive stage and the spore. It
is in the vegetative form that
the organism grows and
causes the disease. In this
stage it is anaerobic and is
easily killed by heat or chemi
cals.
When the vegetative form Is
exposed to air. It produces a
spre that becomes almost
impervious to destruction,
living for years In die sou on
vegetative material and re
sisting heat, cold, and chemi
cals. The disease is highly
contagious.
Vaccination is the only ef
fective defense against It. Ac
cording to Ray Rogers at Ray's
Pharmace, he has sold over
1200 doses of the vaccine to
local' Clay cattlemen.

With all this nice weather
we have been having this fall,
1 heard Mrs. Homer Burch of
the Lick Log section say last
week that she just had to get
down to the lake to catch up
on her fishing. Really don't
know how she got behind, for
she and Mrs. Turner Robinson
are two of the most faithful
fisher-ladies in Clay.
They really enjoy fishing
and have many nice catches.
Don't know just how the fog
affects fishing, butSilvey Pen
land aske~. me if there was a
lot of fog oc the lake Monday
when I came to work. He said
he wanted to go fishing. Since
1 am not much of an angler,
I don't know all the trickw.
?????
When I can find time 1 just
love to stop by Virginia Craw
ford's Flower Shop and see
all the beautiful arrangements
she makes. She really has tal
ent. Was quite interested to
an employee at Citizens Bank
and Trust Co. bring back "A
green garden arrangement."
She said "I came by and got
this one from Wallace (Vir
ginia's husband) and thought it
was artificial. I told Wallace
it looks like real but I want
rtificial. Wallace said, 'Oh,
well, they make them so real
looking now that you can't tell
but what they are the real
thing'." It turned out that
Wallace had sold her the real
live growing green garden ar
rangement - - -quite a com
pliment when a lady like Vir
ginia does the arrangement so
skillfully that it is hard to
distinguish between the real
and artificial.
Many people in hospitals
have enjoyed these arrange
ments then taken them home
and enjoyed them for months
after they recovered. Her ar
rangements have graced the
homes as birthday gifts and
other occasions of memory
since she opened her shop
a year ago.
