Butcher Record Number Os Hogs During 1959 LAFAYETTE. Ind — A record number of hogs was commercially slaughtered in Indiana during 1959. state-federal agricultural statisticians at Purdue University re- [ port. Nearly five million hogs with a liveweight of 1.15ip.«55.000 pounds 'went through packing plants and local slaughter houses last year. Indiana's red meat production [in 1959 amounted to 1.817.292.000 ' pounds liveweight. 10 per cent • greater than in 1958, the statisticians said. Commercial slaughter includes that of packing plants and local I butchers, but excludes farm i slaughter. Totals indicate the mar- ! ketings of livestock by farmers I and the availability of meat. Liveweight of all commercially I slaughtered livestock in the state during December. 1959. totaled 1183.946.000I183.946.000 pounds. This topped the November slaughter by 13 per cent | and the December. 1958. production by 29 per cent. Liveweight of the 50,500 cattle slaughtered during December amounted to 50.752.000 pounds, two per cent above November and December. 1958,‘totals. Liveweight of the 11.300 calves slaughtered totaled 2.396.000 pounds, five per cent higher than November and 25 per cent above December. 1958. The 503.000 hogs slaughtered weighed 128,768.000 pounds. This amounted to 18 per cent more than November and 44 per cent more than December. 1958. Sheep and lamb slaughter totaled 20.300 with a liveweight of 2.030.000 pounds, six per cent higher than November and 34 per cent above the December, 1958. total. National commercial production of red meat during December totaled 2,433 million pounds, 12 per cent more than during December, 1958. and eight per cent above the November output. Beating Eggs If the white of egg will not beat stiff, add a tea spoonful of cold water and a pinch of salt. Adding a pinch of baking powder while beating will also help, makes it more fluffy, and prevents falling if it must stand for a while after beating.

However, you can try wetting the spot with water, then working on it j with glycerine and a piece of i cheesecloth, and rinsing with water. If traces still remain, work on it some more with a 20 per cent solution of acetic acid (or vinegar), and flush it out again with water. Smaller Belt When another hole is needed to make the belt smaller, make a new hole neatly by using a heated steel needle, holding the belt firmly on a wooden board. This will make a perfectly round hole.

Agriculture Is One Os Industry's Best Customers Many of the farmer’s severest critics fail to realize that this businessman in the blue-denim suit not only produces more than enough food and fiber at bargain prices to safisfy a growing America’s needs, but he also comprises one of industry's biggest markets. For example, recent figures from the U. S. Department of AgI riculture show that there are 12 I million tractors, trucks, and cars ; on the nation’s farms. The farmer provides a market for 64 million tons of steel for these and other tools of production each year —enough to manufacture 44 million new automobiles. In addition, jl6 percent of the gross freight revenue comes from agricultural products, and farm supplies shipped to the farmer account fcr an even higher percentage. The farmer uses enough rubber each year to put tires on 6 million cars. In addition, agriculture consumes more petroleum each year than any other industry — 174 billion gallons. American agriculture consumes 50 million tons of chemicals annually, which includes approximately 23 million tons of fertilizer. Each year, the farm family uses about 22 billion kilowatt hours of electrical power —more than Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Baltimore, and Boston I combined. —«. . — The farmer is a key member of the economic family and actually helps support other segments of the economy. In fact, four out of ten workers in the U. S. are employed in agriculture and allied I industries. Os the total working force of 62 million, about 25 million are in agriculture and related industries. Breaking this down further, about 7 million work on farms; another 7 million workers produce for or service the farmer; and 11 million process, distribute, and merchandise farm products. In addition, approximately 250,000 scientists are currently working on projects related to agriculture. Farming will become an even more mechanized and efficient business. Thus, agriculture will continue to be an integral part of the great complex of the nation’s Industrial scene and a major contributor to its economy.
