(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Tattooing hogs is a practical means of marking them so they can be identified after slaughter, according to the United. States Department of Agriculture, and the practice is useful in numerous ways, It is particularly valuable in identifying the ownership of hogs In mixed shipments and in tracing any disease to the farm or other place of origin. the Miscellaneous Circular 57-Tattoo Method of Marking Hogs and Its Use, recently issued in a revised form by the United States Department of Agriculture, describes the tattooing instrument, tells how to use it, and discusses its numerous possible applications. The tattoo method of marking hogs is simple, inexpensive, and easily used. A tattoo mark properly applied is as permanent as the skin itself. e - offers a wide field for the use of tattoo marks. A copy of the circular may be obtained by writing to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Epicurean Porkers Are Favored at Beltsville The hogs reputation as a gourmand is so general that he Is rarely credited with any refinement of appetite. Even farmers were surprised a few years ago to find that these greedy animals would select the proper feeds for a balanced ration if served the cafeteria way. Sopie. hogs, however, it now appears, are capable of even finer gastronomic discrimination, according to J. H. Zeller, swine specialist of the United States Department of Agriculture. Two shoats at the departments experiment farm at BeltsvilPe, Md., he says, have apparently found the inside of the corn kernel a great delicacy. Unlike most of their kind, they do not eat the whole kernel, but like squirrels spend hours at a time cracking the grain, deftly extracting the meaty inside, and ejecting the kernel shells in neat piles about the lot. Kernel cracking, however, is not a common accomplishment of the porker, Mr. Zeller says, and he doubts the possibility of teaching the trick to the common herd even if it were found a desirable trait to develop. Particularly Useful. marketIn the field of ing, where a number of farmers ship their hogs In one lot, the tattoo mark is particularly useful because of its conclusive evidence of the hog's origin Such Information is highly desirable as a basis for payment when diseased conditions appear at the time of slaughter. From the standpoint of live stock health oflicials such Identification of diseased hogs is useful also. Hogs found to be tuberculous can be traced to their source, and other animals on the farm may be tested, leading to the eradication of the disease. The manner In which the tattooing of hogs led to the discovery of tuberculosis in a poultry flock is of practical interest In the course of investigational work a shipment of tattooed hogs to a central marketing point proved to be infected with tuberculosis. An inspector visited the farm and applied the combination test to the remainder of the hogs on the farm, with the result that practically 100 per cent Teacted to the avian test The inspector also found the chicken flock to be badly infected. Tracing of Disease. On the Inspectors recommendation, the owner sold his entire flock of chickens, restocking with day-ol-d chicks the following spring. Later, 32 hogs from this farm were shipped to market and again Identified by the tattoo mark. A report on 27 of these animals showed that not one had been found infected; the remainder were not slaughtered under federal Inspection and a report on them could not be obtained. It was reasonably apparent that the tracing of the disease, slaughter of Infected flock, cleaning, disinfection, and a restocking with healthy chicks had removed the source of Infection. The tattoo should also be of aid in studying results of feeding tests, In identifying carcasses in contests of various kinds, such as the familiar competitions, and in similar activities where facts concerning the size and quality of carcasses are desired. In fact, any experimental work involving studies of dressed carcasses Making Bees Move on Is Not Accomplished Soon Bees often take up their abode where there are not wanted, as in a cavity in a wall. A good way to get them out is. to put a bee escape over the entrance to the cavity, so the bees can get out but not in. A cone of wire cloth about 8 inches high with a hole at the apex just large enough for one bee to pass through will serve as an escape. A regular hive should be placed beside the entrance for the return of the escaped bees. The queen remains in the old cavity and goes on laying eggs, but as the colony is quickly reduced in size the quantity of brood decreases. The younger bees leave the cavity and Join the bees in the hive. A new queen should be given to the bees in the hive as soon as possible. After about four weeks, remove the bee escape and make ns large a hole as possible at the entrance of the cavity. The bees will go in for the honey and carry it to the hive. For this method to work successfully, it is necessary that the bees have only one exit from the cavity. Sunlight Is Harmful Sunlight natures cure-al- l for many ailments is bad medicine for milk. Milk kept in the outdoor icebox or on the window sill sometimes develops an off flavor that has been des cribed as a cardboard taste having an odor like drying linseed oil. Such a defect may be due to any of several causes, but one of the most common causes is ordinary light. The light apparently acts as a cataclyst in the oxidation of the milk fat ton-litt- FIND HOUSEWIFE FAVORS SMALL HEADS OF CABBAGE FOR COOKING Average of Three Pounds in Size Brings Best Price. New York state markets often pay two to three dollars a ton premium for cabbage that is solid and weighs about thrtfe pounds to a head since that Is the size most convenient to the housewife, says F. O. Underwood of the State College of Agriculture at Ithaca, N. Y. To meet this demand, d the Intermediate type of Danish Is the best variety to grow. To obtain medium-sized heads, the plants must be close together, says Mr. Underwood, who points out that heavy yields are possible even with heads of this size. Plants may be set 18 by 30 inches apart in the field, requiring about 10,000 plants to an acre, and on good land they may be set 14 or 15 inches opart in the row. Close planting requires better land, more plant food, and plenty of moisture. A supply of moisture may be favored by applying manure to the land a year before the cabbage Is grown, by using cover crops, and by fall plowing. The Intermediate type of Danish Ballhead Is best, for it produces heads that are round, that are slightly flattened on top, and that taper slightly at the base. Also the heads are solid, the leaves are well closed over, and Ball-hea- f the foliage Is vigorous. The length of stem is, in itself, of little importance, but the types do not yield so heavily and the leaves do not close over so well on top. The flatter types are larger, are not so solid, do not keep so well, and are sometimes said to be too much like domestic cabbage. tail-ste- m Alfalfa is a superior feed for live stock.

NOT FLAVOR MILK No Undesirable Effects Are Found in Illinois Test. (By W. B. NEVENS, Illinois.) University of . Complaints that the feeding of soy bean hay or ground soy beans to dairy cows affected the .flavors of milk, cream, and butter to such an extent that the products were either not salable or their market value was lowered, reached the department of husbandry during the past year. These complaints originated in several different counties in the state, showing that the trouble was not confined to one locality. Experiments, therefore, were undertaken to learn the cause of the trouble and, If possible, a remedy for it. Three groups of eight each were fed during six consecutive weekly periods on rations consisting of either red clover hay or soy bean hay, and a concentrate mixture with or without ground soy beans. The ground soy beans formed from 10 to 25 per cent of the mixtures. The milk produced was used in studies of flavor and composition, and butter was made from the cream. Neither soy bean hay nor poor quality, moldy soy bean hay was found to have any effect upon the flavor of the milk (raw or pasteurized) skim milk, cream, or butter. Ground soy beans were likewise without effect upon flavor. The fat content of the milk was affected but slightly, and the acidity was not changed appreciably. Marked differences in cream volume were noted, but these seemed to be associated with individual cows. The most pronounced effects of the rations were upon the body of the Ground soy beans caused butter. the body to be gummy and the condition became worse when the proportion of soy beans in the ration was increased. Soy bean hay had a similar effect but to a less degree. There was a tendency for the iodine number to increase slightly with the larger amounts of soy beans in the ration. While the effects of soy beans upon the body of the butter were not serious, the score of the body of this butter was 1 to 1 points lower than that of, the butter produced by the ration without soy beans. The studies of this problem are being continued, and It Is hoped to be able to combine some feed with soy beans which will overcome in a great measure the undesirable effects upon the body of the butter. high-qualit- . 1 y Drain Enrich the Soil The vast sandy plain on which Berlin Is situated provides a soil adapted to the working of the famous Berlin drainage system, established in 1876.

On farms where only one or two cash crops are grown such an income is badly needed to meet the operating expenses of the farm while the cash crops are being grown and marketed. A good average cow when properly fed, will produce 600 gallons of milk annually containing 232 pounds of butterfat. This milk at 30 cents per gallon an average wholesale price, is worth $180. The manure from this cow Is worth $20 per year as a fertilizer, making a total income of $200. Where a milk market is not available the butterfat from this cow, at 40 cents per pound, will bring $92.80, when sold to a creamery for butter making, and the skim milk left on the farm is worth $25, as a calf, chicken and pig feed.
