Apparatus Separates
Parasites From Soil
Ingenious Flotation Device
of DIR. Cobb Is Valuable.

prepared BY the United States Department
OF Agrieultures)
In studying the nemas which exist
IN the soil and which. In many cases
cause diseases OF plants such as root
knot and certain rots. there has beem
much dlhiculty In separating the or
ganisms from the soil. Most OF these
threadlIke parasites are extremely
small and cannot be picked out by
ordinary methods: neither can they
be washed out readily. However. Dr.
N. A. Cobb Of the United States De-
partment OF Agriculture has devised
an Ingenious fotation apparatus
which affords valuable aid in remov-
Ing nemas from a sample Of soil.
The apparatus consists essentially
Of a hollow cylinder several Inches in
diameter and three or four feet high,
tapering for about a foot TO a small
opening at the bottom and provided
with a spout near the top. This CYL
Under Is fastened 10 a circular rotat.
ing table or frame which is turned
at moderate speed by a motor while
water Is run In from the
bottom by turning graduated tap.
The soil sample Is mixed with small
quantity OF water and then poured
quickly into the rotating cylinder when
II is about a quarter full Of water.
The rotation destroys any disturbing
currents which might In
terfere with the separation. as In some
ore separating machines
Nemas sink very slowly and the
rise Of the water ia so regulated by
the tap that II viii a little more than
their fall. As result the
soil particles which are heavier sink
10 the bottom and the nemas are lifted
70 the top. When the rising column OF
muddy water reaches the upper open
ng II Is spouted with the contained
lemas into a vessel set on the rotating |
able to catch the overflow. When al
he nemas are collected In this yes
Iel they are allowed to settle to the
,ottom. The water Is drawn of and /
Shiny mass containing the nemas
n much greater concentration IL found
n the bottom. They may then be re
moved and examined under the micro
cope. BY this method also the mum
Ter Of nemas in given quantity Of
oil may be estimated.

HEALTHY COWS GIVE
HIGH QUALITY MILK

fFveparsd By the United states Departures,
OF Agrieulture.1
The purchase Of a good herd bull
10 the first forward step IN producing
better calves at a less cost per pound.
In common or grade herds calves
sired by good pure bred beef bulls
weigh on the average about 125
pounds head more when one year
old than calves OF the same age sired
By the general run OF scrub bulls. says
the United States Department Of Ag.
riculture. and they sell for about 2
cents pound more as stockers and
feeders. Two-year-oId steers sired by
good pure bred bulls weigh on an av-
erage about 200 pounds a head more
than steers Of the same age sired by
scrub bulls, and sell for from 70 4
cents pounds more as stockers and
feeders.
In the case OF yearllngs scrubs
weigh about 800 pounds, and when
they sell for about cents a pound as
stockers and feeders they bring $I2 a
head, while grades at the same age
weigh about 425 pounds. and will sell
Tor about cents more. or cents 3
pound, bringing $3.50. Two-year-
old scrubs weigh about 525 pounds a
head. and. assuming that they sell for
8 cents a pound, viii bring s42 a head.
while grades Of equal age weigh about
TBS pounds, and az cents more q
pound 40 centsl as stockers and feed
ers. bring $3.50.
There is practically no difference IN
the cost Of feed for the two classes OF
calves up to the yearslna age. but
from that time on grades develop
more capacity and require more feed
than scrubs. The difference In cost
81 feed. however. Is very small item
when the offspring Of the good bulls
are worth practically twice as much
~ those OF scrub bulls.
