Identify Animals After 4 Being Slaughtered; ffr«p«r«* kr th« tniitod State* papartoMat • ot Afrlcultirt,) Tattb&lng hops 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 (s particularly valuable in identifying the ownership of hogs in mixed shipments and in tracing any disease to the farm or other place of origin. Miscellaneous Circular 5T-M. the 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 <lis cusses its numerous possible applies* tlons. The tattoo method of marking hogs is simple, inexpensive, and easily used. A tattoo mark properly applied to as permanent as the skia itself. * Particularly Useful. In the Held of co-operative marketing, 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 officials 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 ho^s 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 reacted to the avian test. The Inspector also found the chicken flirrr*r £o be badly Infected. U Tracing of Oiseaae. |- On the inspector's recommendation, the owner sold his entire flock of chickens, restocking with day-old chicks the following spring. Later, 32 hogs fr6m 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 reiQpvet} 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 ton-litter competitions, and in similar activities wftiere facts concerning the sire and quality of carcasses are desired. In fact, any experimental work involving studies of dressed carcasses offers a wide field for the use of tattoo marks.

Were the diaphanous and alluring feminine garments described in Aristophanes' comedies of the same sheer silkaess that arouses diatribes from the pulpits today? Though silk is not supposed to have been known to the Greeks until the Fifth century A. D„ Gisela M. A. Ricbter of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Is Inclined to think that the suppressed females of classic Greece knew silk, and its beautifying advantages and transparencies long before. Linen and wool were the common fabrics worn on that luminous peninsula, but classical literature contains many references to thin, highly expensive garments called Amorgi&n tunics, Miss Ricbter declared recently in a re purr to the Archeoiogical Institute of America. They are thought to have been made of especially fine Unen from the island of Amorgos, a rocky bit of land in the Aegean, with, however, only a few tiny valleys fertile enough for the cultivation of flax; hardly enough, according to .Miss Richter, to support an Important Industry of even a high priced article. Supporting her theory by research among ancient Greek and Latin writers she has established a hypothesis that the havoc-creating ATuorglan tunics were made of wild silk introduced from the East, where tt was known from the earliest times. The name Amorgian (a specific word for silk appearing in Greek only after the Roman era) she accounts for by the fact that the island was • convenient station on the trade route from the east via the Persian gulf, Babylon and Tyre. It's the next door neighbor of the Island of Cos, which by the time of Aristotle was considered the home of Greek silk, manufacture, so what was more natural. Miss ltlchter concludes, "than to call these silk garments Amorgian, Just as later the Romans called them 'Cnae vetoes.' To call a material after a place from which it Is supplied is, of course, a well practice." v William M. Carroll, Solicitor SALE OF REAL ESTATB State Of Illinois, t County Of MfcHenry. ss.
