The plows they built were so good that the business immediately began to grow, and because of the high quality that they built into every Sattley Implement the business steadily increased until it developed into the present modern big Sattley factory at Springfield, Illinois. The same high quality goes into every- Sattley product today. S Standard Equipment Sattley Implements are known 2ll over the country as high grade “Standard”’ equipment, and when you go into the field with any Sattley tool you have the satisfaction of knowing that you are using as good an implement as money can buy and you will get the service from it that you can expect only from mod- ; ern, up-to-date machinery of the very best quality.

What is to be done about it? - The Leader will dis- cuss this end of the question in next week’s issue. - SCALDING HOGS If the scalding water is too hot it sets the bristles. Doctor P. F. Trow- bridge, director of the North Dakota Agricultural college experiment sta- tion, states that 155 degrees Fahren- heit is a good temperature for a bar- rel scald and that 165 or higher is dangerously high, as it will set the hair if the carcass is left in half a minute too long. The lowest temper- ature for a slow scald is 140 degrees, but this is too low for out of doors farm practice. A thermometer should be used by the beginner to determine the temper- ature. It will save work, as the right temperature will make the removing of the bristles easy, while too hot a temperature will set them. A table- spoonful of lye or a shovelful of wood ashes or a pound of quick lime put in the scalding water will' help loosen the scurf. Doctor Trowbridge further adds: “Cut a gambrel slit in one hind foot for the hog hook. Make a deep length- wise slit from hock to toe so as te ex- pose both tendons. Scald the head end first, keep the carcass moving so the scald will be even. If the side of the hog rests firmly against the side of the barrel, that portion will not scald, so keep turning it. With very hot water bring the carcass to the air two or three times a minute to cool an in- - stant to prevent setting of the hair. As soon as the hair slips easily, re- verse the hog, hook in the lower jaw and complete the scald.” THE POULTRY HOUSE FLOOR A concrete floor will last longer than a wooden floor, but is rather cold and must be covered with deep litter for best results. If a dirt floor is used the building should be filled with earth at least a foot above the outside sur- face to insure freedom from damp- ness. From four to six inches of the surface should always be removed every year and replaced by fresh sand or loam in order to keep the floor in a sanitary condition. Wooden floors prove very satisfactory, but must be built up off the ground in order to last and keep dry.—NORTH' DAKOTA AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
