Magnesla In Sea sheJYs.

Chemical analysis of starflshes, sea uchins and erinoids, collected from all parts of the world, show that the skeletons of these animals contain much magnesia. The amount present is found b vary with the temperature of the water in which the creatures lived. The percentage of magnesia is highest in those specimens that nvad in tropical waters and lowest in forms from the icy eeas ef Greenland and the Antarctic, with a regular grada- ton between which even shows the local effect of cold ocean currents upon fife at the sea bottom. The in> vestigations suggest that the skeie tons of these animals have the compo sition of the manganese limestone. ,r dolonite, and 1t Is possible tha& they furnish clues not only as to the climatic conditions under which hmestones4 are: now formed, ,sbpt also as to the temperatures of the oceans in different regions of the earth where during different periods of geologic history. great deposits of magnetism Hmsstone were formad.

PREPARE THEAP
 EXHIBITS FOR FAIR
Then Clean Up the Orchard After Picking Clean and Getting Rid ct Rotten Apples, Broken Limbs and Trash.

Choose only perfect specimens for fair exhibit Any judge of fruit is Justified in assuming that if plate of apples shows one imperfect one, tue exhibitor could not find enough per. feet ones in his orchard to make a complete plate. Apples for exhibit should be saved out at picking time.
 A good plate of fruit is uniform if. size, In color; Is not too large; is not too highly colored for the variety, and shows absolutely no blemish due to insects or disease
 A good box of fruit is made of the best possible specimens, as nearly ab- solutely uniform in size and color as they can be-
 It is packed by the methods which follow the rules of the fair at which It is exhibited. It is just as good in- side clear to the bottom as 1t is on top.
 After picking an orchard clean, 1t should be put in shape for winter be. fore it Is left.
 Get rid of all mummies, rotten ap- pies and broken limbs that were dam aged during picking. Clean the fence rows of weeds. If the orchard is to he sown to winter cover crop, sec that the crop is planted we'll up un. der the trees and well out to the fences and in the corners.
 A good way to get rid of rotten ap- pies and mummies, if there are many of them, is blow furrow, one round to each middle, turning the fl1rrow away from the tree. Rake the mum. mics and rotten apples in and thrpw the furrow back on them.-J. Lee Hewitt, Plant Pathologist. Arkansas College of Agriculture, Fayetteyiltes

Snow-Proof Beot1,

Members of arctic expeditions have found that gum boots are not proof against the entrance of moisture fol snow water seems to penetrate the rubber where the boots are in moro ar less constant use for long period of time. This is prevented by an co casional application of shellac, which effectually keeps the moisture out, oven when subjected to the hardest wear. shellac can also be made use of to advantage in coating the thongs of snow shoes for the purpose of re- sisting the moisture when moving over the wet snow. The shoes thus treated enable the men to make much better headway over the snow with less et
 fort. The thongs which have beez treated with shellao are also said to Ary out quicker after use than others

Arkansas Farmers Use Serum.

Williams Bros, of Diaz, and s. L.. Bleakley of Auvergne, progressive far- mers, are setting an example to Jack son County. They have ordered large shipments of serum from the Serum Plant at Little Rock. They admins. tered the simultaneous treatment and have not lost a hog yet. David Thi- bault, county agricultural agent of Jackson County, in a report to Dean J. H. Miller of the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas said that these two large orders from two rep resentative farmers, has served as a stimulus to other hog raisers of Jack son County to use anti-hog cholera se- rum as preventative against hog cholera: The serum may be obtained from the State Serum plant at Little Rock by writing Dr. R. M. Cow, State Veterinarian, Old State, House, Little Rock. The serum may be bought for one and one-half cents per cubic cen. timeter. A few cents invested in this way may save you many dollars.
