Why not put up some cranberry

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. Steps should be tak
en to remedy such conditions before
loading.
were grown largely in gardens and
in t mall patches, and few vere
roasted and sold on the strc<t in
the .owns of Virginia and later in
New York and other eastern cities.
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..

The custom of having a turkey

who found turkeys wild and i.ighly

HIS old adage is peculiarly applicable to the

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
