Secret Of Silk Was
Long Kept in China

Although silkwOrms are now
cultivated in many parts Of the
world In order to obtain the love
~ product which they make, at
one time the secret Of producing
this cloth was known only in China,
where it was jealousy guarded.
Raising silkworms was a great
industry in China as many as 1900
years before the Christian era. Try
as they might, other nations were
unable to learn the secret of max
ing the fine cloth. But, according
to the story. a faithless Chinese
princess finally betrayed her coun-
try by carrying with her to India
some Of the eggs Of the silk-moth
and the seeds Of the mulberry tree
upon which it fed, concealed in her
headdress. From India the secret
gradually spread to the West, al
though it did not reach Europe un-
til the Sixth century.

Says Now is Time to
Use Eggs Generously

Spring is the season of the year
when eggs are plentiful on the
farm and when they may be pur-
chased cheaply. Therefore, it. is
especially appropriate at this time
to consider their value as a food,
according to Miss Alice Biester,
nutrition specialist of the division
of home economics, University
Farm, st. Paul, who says that
eggs help in meeting several die
tary needs.
Eggs furnish protein of excel
lent quality; they rank high as
sources of lime, phosphorus and
iron; the yolks contain fat in fine
ly divided form that is easily di-
gested, and growth-promoting Wit
amins are supplied in goodly
amounts. Recently it has been dis
covered that egg yolks may be sue
cessfully used to prevent or cure
ricketts,, because of their unusually
high content of vitamin D.
From both a nutritional and an
economic standpoint, therefore, the
homemaker is justified at this sea-
son in using eggs literally in plan
ming meals for the family, says
Miss Biester.

Old Records in Danger

The parish churches of England,
long the hunting grounds Of per-
sons interested in genealogy, and
their agents, have suffered so much
from such hands that steps are be-
ing taken to save their records.
These church records go back to
the reign Of Henry VIII, and until
1910 they were the only records Of
births, marriages, baptisms and
deaths. Constant handling of these
records, says the Pathfinder Maya
zine, has damaged them. Not only
that, but INSCRIPTIONS genealogists
have not hesitated to tamper with
them, making alterations to suit
their desires. Church officials de-
clare that most of the persons
coming to examine the parish rec
ords are money seekers. A large
proportion of them are Americans.

If this natural desire is carried out
too strenuously, frequently excess
fatigue and general lassitude re-
suit. Modern physicians advise pa
tients to indulge in physical activ-
tiles gradually at this season unless
it has been possible to take suffi-
Gent exercise, either indoors or
out, during the cold months.
'It is perhaps well that the
thinking individual experiences the
symptoms of spring fever He is
wise enough to consult his ply
sician and an opportunity is made
for a general recheck of his ply
steal being. Often conditions
arising from colds and other res
piratory troubles prevalent during
the winter are found. The doctor
can prescribe for these and, in
deed, most other ailments with
greater optimism than at any
other season of the year. Nature,
always the physicians best ally, is
putting forth her best efforts"

Hog Price Outlook
Held To Be Bright

Profits from pigs raised in 1929
promise Ito be good, says E. F.
Ferrin of the animal husbandry di-
vision at University Farm. There
was an estimated shortage of z
per cent in the number of sows
to farrow this spring compared
with 1928. Reports of filters far
rowed in March show unusually
heavy losses. The cold winter and
heavy snow are blamed for a large
number of pigs born dead or
weak.
saSince the spring crop of pigs
will surely he much below the av-
erage a shortage of hogs to be
marketed next fall and winter is
certain" says Professor Ferrin.
Large pig crops generally bring
the producer less money than do
smaller numbers.
eff sows which lose their filters
this spring are bred for September
farrow, part of the loss sustained
can be made up. Fall pigs need
to have good start before cold
weather and to be we'll housed and
fed generously through the winter.
If satisfactory quarters are avail
able, 1t will pay to raise more pigs
this fall than are customorily far
rowed."

Only Pure Chemicals
Will Cure Grain Smut

Good grades of formaldehyde
and copper carbonate must be used
in treating seed or the smuts of
grain will not be cured. Careful
treating is necessary but it is also
essential to use good chemicals.
Plant disease specialists at Univer-
.sity Farm say that formaldehyde
should be 40 per cent commercial
ly pure. 1t should be clear color
less liquid. If it is cloudy or
contains white fiakey substance
or has been frozen it should not
be used for treating seed. 1t
evaporates rapidly and if left ex-
posed to the air becomes so weak
that it is non-effective. Copper car
Donate dust must contain a suffi-
cient amount of copper in form
that is sufficiently active to kill
smut spores, but not so strong that
it will kill the wheat sprouts. Re-
liable firms manufacture a dust
that will serve this purpose. Cop
per carbonate is mixed with a
-'base' that is fluffy and loose to
facilitate proper mixing. Gritty,
heavy copper carbonate dust should
not be used.

No Reports on Fatalities
From Spring Fever

Medical history has no reports
of fatalities from spring fever al
though it is the most common di-
sease in history. Since the days
of early Greece-no doubt even
in pre-existing civilizations, were
records available-''spring fever
has been known as vague intangi-
BILE thing that afflicted humans at
that wonderful season when the
March equinox is at hand.

growth in the air and the unaccus-
toned warmth of the monday sun

doing-the housewife to the task
of upsetting the home with the
Spring house cleaning'-the gard

flower beds; while the man of af-
fairs even attempts to straighten
up his DESK" declares the educa-
tional committee of the Minnesota
State Medical Association in a
spring bulletin out today. eve
make a noble start bright and
early in the cool Of the morning.
Soon a delicious languor steals
upon us-our knees grow tired, we
yawn and stretch and long to lie
inert in the warm sun, so different
at midday from morning, and
hate the. tasks so cheerfully as
sumed short time before. We
know then that we have Spring
fever Why do we have it? Why
are we lazy, pepless and generally
let down when nature is putting
forth all her energy? Do We i'm
agine it? :Assumedly not we are
experiencing natural reaction.
The cold of the winter months is
a stimulus and with the advent of
the first warm days, the neuro-
circulatory system relaxes to norm
al or even bit subnormal simil-
arly affecting the entire body
mechanism.
According to the bulletin there
is undoubtedly another potent fac
tor only partially understood even
in recent years, namely, the acti-
mic rays of the sun. 1t has been
shown by scientists that these
ays-commonly known as ultra
violet the important element
of light affecting life and growth.
They are the short rays lying be
yond the spectrum and fail to
reach the earth with much efficacy
when the sun is far south as is the
case in this climate in winter. Near
the time of the spring equinox,
these rays increasing intensity
help to start the new growth. 1t

Emergency Pastures
a Profitable Investment

frOntable investment
Good pasture is the cheapest
source of milk-making feed for
dairy cows, says the Blue Valley
Institute in discussing the dairy
farmers cropping plans for the
coming season. 1t is cheap be-
cause cows themselves harvest the
crop and save the time and labor
which other feed crops require.
Furthermore, good pasture is rich
in Matchmaking nutrients and for
cows of ordinary production, but
little other feed is necessary dur
ing the 30-day to 6O-day period
when pastures are at their best.
Unfortunately, good pastures
prevail only a few weeks during
the season, and unless properly
supplemented with grain, hay, sill
age or cut green feed, or replaced
for time by emergency pastures,
cows will not get enough to eat,
and milk production suffers.
Two of the best emergency pas
ture crops are Sudan grass and
sweet clover. A small acreage of
either or both will furnish a large
amount of feed and help cows keep
up to good milk production in
summer at lowest possible feed
cost. Sudan grass is an especially
valuable pasture plant because it
grows best in the heat of summer
when other grasses dry UP.
Sweet clover makes about the
best tame pasture that can be
grown for cows. 1t is especially
valuable as an emergency pasture
in the fall after the crop of small
grain, with which it is grown, has
been removed.

culture in high schools who will
spend three days at the farm for
the purpose of judging livestock.
Teams of three boys will judge
general livestock (horses, swine
sheep, and beef cattle) and also
dairy cattle, while two boys will
constitute a team ofor judging
poultry. Eight rings of stock will
be judged in the general contest
and six rings in the dairy contest
State medals will be presented
to individual winners of first,
second, and third places in each
class of livestock judged, and first
second, and third sweepstake med
ais for the winners of total points
in all classes judged, not includ-
ing poultry. Shields provided by
the Agricultural Education Club at
University Farm will be awarded
the highest scoring general live
stock and dairy teams. A silver
trophy cup, the GIT OF Inc T FARM
er, of st. Paul, will be awarded
the school scoring the highest total
points in the dairy and general
livestock contests. "A silver cup
will be presented the team scoring
highest in poultry.
If it is decided to enter judging
teams from Smiht-Hughes schools
in the national dairy and general
livestock judging contests, they
will be composed of the three
highest scoring individuals in the
two classes, instead of the highest
scoring teams.
Teachers of agriculture who
accompany the boys to University
Farm may participate in a judging
contest of their own.
Student committees in charge
of the various contests will be
chosen from members of the Agri-
cultural Education Club of the

Plant Silage Corn

Cheap, Succulent Feed
Corn silage is one of the cheap
est and one of the very best sue
culent dairy COW feeds. 1t is
cheap because the entire corn
plant leaves and stalks-is
converted into highly palatable
and nutritious succulent roughage
when put into the silo. Without
the use of a silo, only the corn
grain is left as satisfactory feed
for cows in milk. The dry leaves
and stems of the ripe plant have
little feeding value when left in the
field or fed as dry fodder, and
most dairy farmers regard them as
unfit for feeding to cows.
When corn is put into the silo,
not only is the full feeding value
of the grain saved, but the high
feeding value of the green leaves
and stems is also preserved. On
the other hand, when only the ripe
grain is used for feed, the leaves
and stems, which have turned vel
low and dry, have low feeding val
ue. The institute points out that
the green leaves and stalks con-
tain one-third the feeding value of
the entire corn plant, or one-half
the feeding value of the grain
alone. If an acre yield of corn is
SO bushels, worth 80 cents bush
ell, the value of the grain alone is
$40 an acre. AS the leaves and
stalks in corn silage are worth
one-half as much in feed value as
the grain, they have a value of
$40. However, when the corn is
not ensiled and allowed to turn
yellow in the field only the grain
is left as a good feed. The dead
leaves and stalks have become
hard, unpalatable, and low in milk
making nutrients, and as feed for
cows, they are not worth more than
81 an acre.
/ The entire corn plant-within
solid, succulent stems and leaves
cut up into short lengths for silage
closely and will keep
indefinitely in an air-tight silo. It
furnishes a feed that is greatly
relished by dairy cows and is eaten
| by them with little waste. For ten
or more cows, the upright cylin-
drical silo is a practical and con-
venient type to build. With less
than ten cows, and for emergency
purposes, regardless of the number
of cows in the herd, the trench 81

al.
