farms, and quite a number for work,
have been received in the state immi-
grafton department, says a Pierre dis
patch. Some of these are cases where
both husband and wife want work on
a farm. There are also inquiries from
those who want grain and alfalfa seed,
which are passed on to the growers OF
such products who are registered in
the department as such. The law pro-
yides that inquiries coming to the
bureau shall be kept on file open to the
public. This list which has just come
in is being published for distribution
to those who desire 1t, to increase that
service, which is free, and to get the
benefit to the man who cannot call at
the Office, which all who are interested
are invited to do. The department
will use something Of a followup sys-
tenn and will do what it can to arouse
interest in the state, but it cannot sell
anything, and to consummate the
work, other agencies must cooperate.
It is not unreasonable to ask that each
locality put forth its best efforts to
help build a greater state.

That's the only "if" in the whole mat

of farming are able to show in hVe

farmers, then the whole farming popu'

they go to the fields.

out that even under the best instruc'
ton farming still remains the same
steady, slow, close-fguring old bust
ness, that the results of the better
methods are so small as not to be very
apparent, then the movement to carry

the professors who have left the agri'

The preventative" Mr.. Mansneld
explains, consists of g prepared sub

cheaply obtained in any country. The
process Of preservation is very simple:
A fiat vessel Of about 100 quarts Is
filed to half it's capacity with the pre-
serving agent, into which the eggs
are dipped for two minutes and then
allowed to dry. For the dipping
process the eggs are placed in nat
wire baskets. each with a capacity OF
800 to 500 eggs. One basket Is dipped
after another. and by employing
larger vessel several baskets may be
dipped simultaneously. In this man

Scotland still produces pearls, found
mainly in the fresh water mussel.
Cleopatra was not the only person
who swallowed a dissolved pearl. IN
til comparatively recent times they
we're used incidentally in Europe and
still appear in the materia medica OF
China. According to one Chinese au-
thority, a pearl, after being treated
with pumice stone and ~honeycomb,
mixed with the gall of a serpent,
might be drawn out to the length Of
three OF four feet. Make it into pills
and swallow them-henceforth food
will be unnecessary" The suggestion
is not that the patient would be fin
ished off, but that he would live, food
less, forever.
