VERNONIA “Inside” Information Why not put up some cranberry Jam like other preserves, in steriliz ed glasses covered with paraffin? Wild rabbits have a good, ganiey, flavor, but the domestic rabbits are even better, and are very similar in taste to chicken. Stout people should noe wear shiny fabrics, which seem to in crease their size. Soft clinging mater ials should be chosen rather than stiff ones, and coarsly woven, thick or fuzzy materials should be avoid ed. Livestock Co-ops Increase Profits Wherever cooperative livestock have been operated efficiently in communities where there was a gen uine need for them, an appreciable saving to the farmers has r .u'.led. The profit that formerly went to the loc.tt shipper new goes to the farmer, x receives for uis stock the i ctual market price, less the cost of marketing. Tim principal requisites to the sue .ess of cooperative livestock ship ping associations are a competent manager, good business methods, and loyalty on the part of members. It is important that the manager be well known in the community and experienced ,in marketing, and that the officers, particularly the board of directors, keep informed at all times as to the financial affairs of the association. Easy With The Hogs Hogs ready for market should be assembled a sufficient length of time prior to the date of shipment tp allow them to become rested. Do not crowd into small pens or houses nor feed heavy rationh. If they are to be driven to the loading point, do not rush them on the way. Where they are hauled it is important that not too many be crowded isto the truck or wagon. Loading hogs after a heavy feed is injurous to them. There is nothing to be gained by forced feeding just before shipping. Crowding too many hogs in a car is likely to result in a number of them dying in transit. Hogs are oft en loaded in cars containing sharp pieces of broke timber, nails stick ing cut of boards, and in which the 1 flooring ¡3 covered with mud and rubbish. As a result many of the animals reach the yadds badly crip pled, the injuries commonly involv ing the hind quarters, thus lower ing the quality of the most valuable cuts—the hams.

Necessity for some crop that would yield a cash return caused the'farm- ers of Virginia and North Carolina to plant peanuts as a regular 'arm crop immediately following the Civil war. The peanut industry of the Unit ed States is well distributed over most of the southern states but is carried on intensively in eastern Virginia, North Carolina, and south ern Georgia. The crop now occupies about 1,000,000 acres each year, the annual production amounting to approximately 750,000 000 pounds. Turkey Talk When you select your turkey for Thanksgiving, one of the chief con- :'iiiions is the amount and qual ity of the flesh of the body, especial ly on the breast, back, r nd hips. Plenty of flesh means plenty of meat for carving, and there should be also a generous amount of fat to insure a moist, tender turkey. The French always expose a turkey in the market with the back up so the housewife can better observe how plump the bird is. Feeling the end of the brest or keel bone and examining the spurs or the feet may give some idea of tlit age of a turkey, but these tests are not infallible so far as picking out a good tender turkey is concern ed. Almost any turkey is that by which the flesh is kept moist and juicy. Cooking it in a covered roast er with a little water in the bottom in a carefully regulated oven will prevent it from drying ouu time for cooking varies according to the age of the turkey ana i.. size. The custom of having a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner date:, to the early New Englan 1 settlers, who found turkeys wild and i.ighly recommended by the Indians.

Improving Sugar Beets Where pastures are limited or where dry-lot feeding is practiced, hogs require supplemental mineral feeling.

We do not claim that ours is the most perfect system of distribution that can be devised—we only say that it is the most perfect and most economical now in ex istence. We live in an age of constantly changing con ditions—particularly in the business world—and when we, or others, can think of a more economical or more efficient system we will be ready to adopt it. In the meantime we invite you to avail yourself of the savings that will be apparent the moment you en ter one of our stores—remembering, always, that qual ity and efficient service are two thingB we will never sacrifice for the sake of price.
