Livestock Poisoned By Acorns And Oak Leaves The danger of livestock being poi soned by oak leaves and acorns is in creased when undernourished animals are permitted to range in the woods, warns Dr. C. D. Grinnells, who is in charge of dairy investigations at State College. Well nourished cattle seldom eat enough leaves or acorns to cause serious injury, he said, but underfed animals Will eat large quantities of oak leaves, acorns and young sprout3 in an effort to satisfy their hunger. Young cattle, especially, are liable to suffer serious digestive diseases when this oak feed becomes a promi nent part of their diet. Loss of ap petite, decreased or discontinued rumination, constipation, lowered milk production, and a disinclination to move are some of the more obvi ous symptoms. It is thought that the tannin, or the substances which produce tannin, is the poison which affects young, un dernourished animals when it is eaten in large quantities. Some observers are of the opinion that half-ripe acorns, which fall from the tree before maturing in times of drouth, are more injurious than those which .have ripened. Animals ' over three year3 of age, sheep and hogs are seldom bothered by oak poisoning, Dr. Grinnells says, although they, too, may become sus ceptible if forced to eat too many leaves and adorns. Nash County farmers report that 9i? per cent of their tobacco has been sold. All appear to be pleased with the prices this year. BETHEL G. A. AND S.A. SOCIETY MEETS ' WITH MBS.

Hostetler, in charge of livestock research for the North Carolina Ex periment Station. By keeping the meat chilled to check the growth of bacteria, farm ers may materially aid salt in win ning the race, he added. A temperature of 37 degrees should be maintained throughout the curing period. Meat can be cured at higher temperatures, he said, but PAGE THREE tLe .losses, are greater. A tempera ture lower than 87 degrees will re tard curing. ' A little sugar and saltpeter added to the curing mixture will add flavor and color to the meat. Eight pounds of salt, two pounds of sugar, and two ounces, of saltpeter is a standard recipe for curing 100 pounds of pork, Hostetler continued. The cure may be applied either as a brine or a dry mixture. The brine cure is made by dissolving the salt, sugar and saltpeter in four and a half gallons of water and submerging the meat in this solution. In the dry method, about one third of the mixture is rubbed on when the meat is put in cure, an other third, three to five days later, and the remainder, about 10 days after the first application. In the dry cure, the time required for bacon strips and other thin cuts is about one day per pound; loins about one and a half days per pound; joint meat, hams or shoulders, two to three days per pound. Joint meat, hams and shoulders will brine cure in four days per pound. A mild brine cure for loins, bacon strips and spare ribs is made by dissolving the mixture, given above, in five and a half gallons of water. Spare ribs should brine cure in five to seven days, and average weight bellies and loins in two or three weeks. ft OWe have just received one big ship ment of Solid Mahogany Tables.
