JUDGED BY ANCIENT LAW.

recently under decree of Justlnian
 A lawsuit was decided in England about 1,400 years old. Justinian, emperor of Constantinople and Rome in the sixth century, drew up the fa- nous code that is the basis of the Roman law which prevails almost anywhere except in English-speaking countries. He decreed that swarm of bees belonged to man only as long as he could see them with ease, and no longer; after that they be- came the property of the first person who saw them. Fourteen centuries later, in the Roman city of Bath, man seeking to recover the value of a swarm of bees from a neighbor was judge, appropriately enough, by the ancient Roman law of Justinian, and consequently lost his case and his bees together.

HOT SCHOOL LUNCHES
 NEEDED FOR CHILDREN

There is nothing the housewife dislikes more than putting up a lunch. There is nothing the school child dfslikes more than the ordinary run of cold lunches. They are, as a rule, unappetizing and not nutri- tious.
 This disadvantage of the child in the rural school can be overcome by serving at least one hot dish which may be easily prepared at the school during the cold winter months. The ordinary box stove may be utilized to good advantage, or two-burner oil stove with oven may be used. Dreamed soups, creamed and scal- loped vegetables or cocoa may be served. Stenciled copies of recipes of dishes suitable for hot lunches, with amounts necessary, may be ob- tained from Miss Gertrude E. Co., nant, nutrition specialist, extension division, 325 Southern Trust build ing, Little Rock.

early November. The beans had over ITO days to mature.
 Yokohoma, an early variety ma- tured in early September, but yield ed poorly. Osceola matured some seed at the base of few plants, but did not average 5 per cent. Ordinary speckled beans which were the type generally sold in the state barely matured any seed, but averaged three-fifths mature. An extra early strain of speckled velvet bean, the Arkansas No. Al, obtained by the station, matured 10 to 20 per cent of the seed and the remaining seed pods averaged four-fifths mature. Speckied bush velvet beans were too late and were only one-half mature when killed by frost.
 All varieties of speckled velvet beans produced an excellent growth of forage which could be used to ad- vantage by live stock. The results indicate that it would be practicable to use velvet means in the northern one-third of the state as forage proposition with corn when the seed is cheap and when cowpea seed is high. This same suggestion will probably hold true for the more ele- vated districts of west central Ark ansas.

MOLASSES YIELDS ALCOHOL.

At present the chief source of in dustrial alcohol in this country is black strap molasses. Only a few years ago the disposal of molasses by the sugar mills was serious item. It is now largely used everywhere as raw material for alcohol manufac- ture. The conversion of molasses into alcoholic liquor is an old enter prise; West India rum has been found in New England for more than 200 years. But the use of molasses in large quantity for industrial alcohol production is a development of the past few years. As far as ease of manipulation is concerned molasses surpasse any other known material.

VELVET BEAN CAN BE

That velvet beans may be grown successfully in northern sections of me state as forage proposition but not for seed isi indicated by the re ns of the Arkansas experiment Aallon as reported by L. w. Osborn, grOnomist. A considerable acreage d velvet beans was planted over the entre state in 1919, but the crop was generally a failure since the seed paced upon the market germinated 700 sS poorly; that is, between 15 and ~ per cent, and most of the seed was planted too early and failed be- cause of cold spring.
 An experiment. to determine cor lset s dates for planting was conduct ~ Oy the station in 1919. Results aalcate that planting should not be s0ne until the ground is thoroughly 'a'm' At Fayetteville. all plantings

HAVE ALL ANIMALS
 WEIGHED WHEN SOLD.

Weigh all animals that are sold and demand that the price be made according to weight and quality, is the advice of T. Roy Reid, agent in live stock marketing with the agri- cultural extension division.
 At one point in the state recently cattle averaging in weight from 300 to 600 pounds were being bought for $15 to SIT per head. Even at the prevailing local price these ami mals would have been bought for $25 to $3 per head if the farmers had demanded that they be weighed and sold by weight.
 Enormous losses are constantly occurring in home sales of -lixe.s stock, because the farmer allows his animals to be guessed of" or sold at a flat rate per head. Big, little, fat and poor animals are all incldued at once price, the price being made so as to insure some profit to the buyer even on the scrawniest animals of the lot
 Such practice not only fails to give the farmer the worth of his ami mals, but gives no inducement for in quality. 1t is good business to weigh all animals that are sold and demand that the price be made according to the weight and the quality of the animals.
