Looks for Increases
in Pearl Production

Rising prices for pearls and enlarged
production in the pearl diving Industry
are expected to bring total pearl pro-
duction Of about 100000 francs dur
ing 1925, according to advices to the
Commerce department from Phineas
Haskewitch, one of the large pearl
buyers in French Oceania.
Pearl diving is hazardous business,
Mr.. Haskewitch said, and its results
difficult to approximate. The esti-
mated production of 1920 tons of shell
for this year is expected to produce
about $50 pearls, with present aver
age price of 1000 francs. A good pearl
ordinarily appears for every 5000
pairs of pearl shells.
Pearls are found in waters where
coral polyps make their home, Mr..
Haskewitch explained, the appearance
Of coral being usually accepted as fore
casting the appearance of pearl oys-
tiers.

Corn. kafir. sudan, and cane seed
should be tested for termination.
The old saying that a bushel of
corn before COW freshens is worth
two bushels after freshening is true.
Milk is about 80 per cent water. The
body weight Of a COW is over so per
cent water. To give a maximum of
milk, cows must drink plenty of water.
The Kansas State Agricultural col
lege poultry department recommends
an egg-laying mash composed, of equal
parts finely ground corn chop, mid
dlings, wheat, bran, finely ground oats
or barley and high-grade tankage. or
meat scraps.
Look over the breeding flock and
make sure you have sufficient num-
Der of good male birds to insure high
fertility and hatchability the coming
season. Five or six well-matured,
vigorous males should be sufficient for
avery 100 hens In the flock.

Early Spring Is Proper
Time to Prune Orchard

Warm days during March can be
profitably spent in renovating the fruit
trees. Moderate pruning every year
encourages annual fruiting and is
much better for the tree than heavy
pruning every three or four years.
The work should not be delayed until
growths starts in the spring.
Trees which have not been pruned
regularly and have grown too bushy
and dense should receive rather
heavy thinning of medium-sized
branches in the outer portions of the
tree. If possible, avoid removing large
limbs because this leaves the tree
thin in places and too dense else
where. All dead, diseased, broken.
injured. crossing and rubbing limbs
should be removed as far as possible.
When young trees have been properly
pruned until they reach bearing age,
only moderate pruning of small
branches is required to keep the tree
properly thinned. Sunlight will then
be admitted to the central portion of
the tree.
In the pruning Of young trees keep
the head low. Also avoid having two
branches leave the trunk at the same
point. Four or FIVE main branches
should be saved. and as far as possi-'
BILE so selected that they will be evenly
distributed around the tree as well as
UP and down the main trunk. In all
your pruning work use sharp, efficient
pruning tools. Make all cuts clean
and close and wax or paint all
wounds that are over an inch in diam
eter.

Missouri Demonstration
on Reducing Chick Loss

Thirty-two farms were used by the
poultry department of the Missouri
university last year in demonstra-
ton of methods of reducing the an
nual losses in raising chicks 1t is
reported that these farms raised 1871
per cent of all the chicks hatched.
This was an unusually good showing
as compared to a much heavier loss
by farms which were not in the dem
onstration.
Five essentials were adhered to in
the demonstrations, namely: hatch
early, brood each hatch separately for
four weeks, range on fresh' ground.
feed balanced rations constantly and
separate pullets and cockerels.
Undoubtedly the third essential.
that of ranging on fresh ground, had
a great deal to do with the success of
the demonstration. 1t has been ade-
quately demonstrated in recent years
that successful brooding cannot be car
ried on in old poultry lots. Farmers
could greatly increase their poultry
returns this year by remembering the
above essentials. Fresh ground is
sometimes hard to supply and, as a
result, the most important essential
Is often overlooked.

Get Rid of Roundworms
for Success With Pigs

Success in raising pigs will depend
TO a great extent upon proper housing
and freedom from parasites, especially
roundworms, says w. G. Shelley, as
sistant animal husbandman at the
New Jersey State College Of Agricul-
ture.
The roundworms' can be controlled
by the following treatment. Withhold
all feed for about Is to "a hours and
for 80 pounds of live weight give a
capsule containing 2 grains santonin,
2 grains calomel. and grains sodium
bicarbonate. In about IL hours after
giving this capsule feed light slop
containing tablespoonful of epson
salts, well dissolved. for each so
pounds of live weight. Repeat this
treatment in about IA days.
The housing need not be expensive,
but should be kept clean and warm.
Small portable colony houses that are
tight and dry and provided with plen-
ty Of clean, dry bedding make very
satisfactory quarters. Under these
conditions. with plenty of good feed,
fall pigs will make good gains and be
ready to go on the market in the early
spring.

Important Factors
in Care Of Bees.
Much Depends on Activity
of Bees and Weather.


prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
The annual crop Of colony OF
honeybees is dependent upon a con-
siderable number of factors, part deal
ing with the activities Of the bees and
part resulting from the various ex-
ternal factors influencing the secre-
ton of nectar by the honey plants of
the locality. Weather suitable for the
secretion of nectar and the storing of
it by the bees is one of these impor-
tant factors. Although the weather
is beyond the control of the beekeep-
err, a knowledge of the influence of
weather factors upon honey crops in
various parts Of the country will be
Of great value in developing the best
Bookkeeping region Of the United
States, @
To gain this knowledge 1t is first
Of all necessary to keep certain coll
onies under observation, recording at

weight of each, and recording sudh ac-
companying phenomena of the wealth

NAUTICAL analysis of the records kept,

Does Not Pay to Grind
Alfalfa Hay for Cows

Experiments conducted by the dairy
husbandry section Of the Iowa agri-
cultural experiment station indicate
that it doesn't pay to grind alfalfa
hay when it Is to be fed to dairy cows.
At least it wasn't profitable in these
preliminary tests. Eight cows were
used in the experiment.
The use of ground alfalfa did not
increase the yield of either milk or
butterfat in these tests and, In addi-
ton, there was greater amount of
ground hay refused by the cows than
Of the unground hay.
1t cost $3.50 per ton to grind the
alfalfa and there seems little likeli-
hood that this figure could be reduced
on the average farm, those in charge
Of the test say. The grinding cost,
they state, represents from 20 to 25
per cent of the market value of the
hay on the farm in the average year.

Copper Sulphate
for Sheep Worms
Method of Control Devised
by Scientists Gives Good
Results.

prepared by the United States Department
of AgricultureO
A method of controlling stomach
worms in sheep devised by scientists
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture and tested on farms for
the last three years has given excel
lent results. The treatment consists
in dosing the sheep once every % days
with 1 per cent solution of copper
sulphate.
Losses From Worms.
Following good results at the de-
partment's experiment farm near
Vienna, Va, the bureau of animal in
dustry arranged with owners of IL
farm fiocks in Schuyler county, Mis-
souri,, to try the method under ordinary
farm conditions. At the beginning of
the experiment, all owners reported
they were experiencing serious losses
from stomach worms
While the experiment was in prog
ress no change was made from the
former usual practice of grazing,
which consists in the use of permanent
pasture throughout the year, except
in the fall, when the fiocks are al
lowed to run in fields and meadows
from which the crops have been re-
moved. During the last year no sheep
or lambs under treatment were seri-
ously affected by the stomach-worm
disease.
Treatment Does Good.
The second generation of sheep
which have developed under the cop
per-sulphate treatment are larger than
their dams, have grown better wool,
and have sold without culls Buyers
of feeder lambs from the dosed flocks
have recognized their outstanding con-
dition and paid top prices for them.
These favorable results were OBJ
served among more than 1000 sheep.
Full directions for using the treat
ment. which is comparatively simple,
may be obtained on application to the
bureau of animal industry, United
States Department Of Agriculture.

Corn Good Animal Fuel
During Severe Weather

Corn is cheap, about cent pound
One can get fine-burning soft coal for
less than a half-cent a pound.
Animals are going to keep up their
body heat during cold weather They
can do this with corn at a cent a
pound if the owner can do some of
it for them with coal at half the corn
price.
If the chill is not taken off of the
cows drinking water with coal or
wood, she will warm it to 90 degrees
with corn. If the pigs are forced to
drink water or milk in which there is
some ice, they are going to melt the
ice with corn at cent pound. If
the chickens have a warm mash at
noon, just that much corn is saved.
Eggs come faster.
AIAthe way around. trading coal for
