"The highest prices for guineas are paid in the large eastern markets, ^oultrymen who are near these mar- Yets, or who have developed a trade tmong private customers, receive prices that make this industry very profitable. Wholesale prices In New fork usually range from $1 to $1.60 er pair for dressed spring guineas, hey are marketed late in the summer when they weigh from one to one and one-half pounds when two and one-half sionths of age, and also throughout the •all, when the demand is for heavier Mirds.

The chief claim to profitableness on the farm Is the demand for the fowl by the eastern Mississippi Girls Work for Pure Bred Poultry Pure bred poultry is receiving encouragement In Mississippi through -the Interest of a leading merchant in Laurel.

Their noisy, never-ending, harsh cry which is often cause for their unpopularity on the farm is really a point in favor of keeping a few of them, as they are excellent sentries, giving warning of marauders In the poultry yard. Their pugnacious disposition, while sometimes causing disturbances among other poultry, also makes them show fight against hawks and other common enemies, so that guineas sometimes are kept aa guards over the poultry yard. Cooperative Marketing ? by Live Stock Raisers A^gafn of 11.23 per bead was recently made by the members of a co-operative live stork shipping association in one of the Southern states as a result of shipping a single load of sheep and lambs co-operatively instead of selling to country buyers. A report to the bureau of markets and crop estimates of the United States Department of Agriculture shows that the load of sheep and lambs brought $475.47 more on the market than local buyers bid for the stock. The total cost of shipping amounted' to $206.02, resulting In a net gain on the carload, consisting of 229 head^ of $267.45, or $1.23 per head.

This film treats of the economic phases of corn husking and culminates in the plcturlzation of an Interstate husking contest in which husking rises to the dignity of a major sport The slow-motion camera reveals the technique employed by the husking champs to speed up the operation. Scenes introduce the old peg, that played an Important part '.n the conquest of the new world, and Immortalize the "husking bee," a major farm social event of a generation ago. "The Corn Belt Derby" will be circulated through the educational film service of the department and the cooperating state institutions.

Five years ago, according to reports to the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, only a few farm, ers In the county grew soy beans, but In 1923 approximately 8,850 acres were grown with corn and 500 acres were grown alone for seed and bay. APPARATUS THAT SEPARATES PARASITES FROM THE SOIL Ingenious Flotation Device of Dr. Cobb Is Valuable. (PrtfMWd by United States De»*rtt»eMt of Africa!tare.) In studying the nemas which exist -#i the soil and which. In many cases, : cause diseases of plants such as rootknot and certain rots, there has been much difficulty In separating the organism* from the soil. Most of the»; threadlike parasites are extremely •mall and cannot be picked out by ordinary methods; neither can they be washed out readily. However, Dr. N. A. Cobb of the United States Department of Agriculture has devised •n ingenious flotation apparatus which affords valuable aid in remov- -Jig nemas from a sample of soil. The apparatus consists essentially •f 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 cylinder is fastened to a circular rotating table or frame which is turned at a moderate speed by a motor while nema-free water is run in from the bottom by turning a graduated tap. The soil sample Is mixed with a small quantity of water and theh poured quickly Into the rotating cylinder when It is about a quarter full of water. The rotation destroys any disturbing np-and-down currents which might in1 terfere with the separation, as in some ore separating machines. , • Nemas sink very slowly and the Use of the water is so regulated by He tap that it will a little more than counteract their fall. As a result the - loll particles which are heavier sink to the bottom and the nemas are lifted to, the top. When the rising column of muddy water reaches the upper openbig It is spouted 'with the contained Mmas into a.vessel set on the rotating table to catch the overflow. When all the nemas are collected In this vessel they are allowed to wttle to the bottom. The water Is drawn olT and s slimy mass containing the nemas in much greatfer concentration Is found in the bottom. They may then be removed and examined under the microscope. By this method also the nutn* ber of nemas in a given quantity of •oil may be estimated. FARHMOTES if >wu Mie dissatisfied grow a garden on It. witfa jour lot.

Traveling Dud) i for Women's Wear Array of Suitable Garments Provided for Milady**, ; Vacation Trip. " -f' i Recent years have witnessed a distinct change in the disposition of the hearth-loving Preach woman, who has developed tendencies quite as nomadic as those of her British and American sisters, writes a fashion correspondent in the New York Herald-Tribune. There was a time, Vhen, to the Parislenne, travel was a disagreeable necessity, to be indulged in only when the exigencies of the social season demanded it. The outdoor aspect of a steamer or motor trip was ever so distant from her conception of pleasure. However, the dramatic athletic triumphs of Lenglen, the enthusiastic following of Carpentier and the elevation of "le boxe" to a function of social Importance have all combined to discover new veins in the temperament of the versatile Parisienne, who has begun to take a vigorous part in outdoor activities. Tennis, cross-country and even boxing have been espoused by mademoiselle, end the wMto-open sptsces have finally come bad weather 6r for aaj rough traveling. Need at Least Three Hats. No lees than three hats should bo taken. There should be one sports hat of soft felt, sn informal afternoon hat, preferably with a matching scarf, and at least one chapeau to accompany the mora formal types of •costume. Three or more pairs of shoes should als4 be included in thia wnrdmhA--« pair of low-hee!ed sports shoes, a pair of shoes suitable for afternoon wear and slippers for the dinner and the dance. Underthlngs must bOs light and of the easily washable type. Three or four pairs of gloves complete the minimum wardrobe for the steamer trip. Two essentials that would be badly missed if not included In the outfit are the Baedeker and the kodak. Another convenient article which wil' b# In frequent use Is a large purse of thf envelope type, to contain the always necessary passport and the equally essential letters of credit. For the motor or train trip no such elaborate outfit is required, and the sise of the wardrobe is dictated by the extent and the character of the contemplated Journey. Another striking wrap contains a very novel idea and one which makes it particularly appropriate for the automobile and train. The wrap is of blue serge and it has a detachable lining of bright red silk. When the outer portion Is removed the wearer Is revealed in a striking silk garment, once the lining of the coat. When the temperature becomes lower the coat Is again put on and the erstwhile silk robe becomes once more a vivid lining for the cloak. Across the front of an effective steamer coat which Is developed in Scotch plaid, are four pointed godets, giving movement and fullness to an otherwise quite straight sllhouetto. The very necessary scarf effect is achieved by having one end of the collar continue until it simulates this Important accessory to the spring mode. An excellent traveling dress which may be packed in the trunk without fear of its becoming wrinkled Is given Charming Three-Pieoe Costume for Summer, Made Up of Silk. . into their own. Long motor trips, transatlantic voyages and aerial Journeys have all become Intrinsic parts of the social program of the fashionable demoiselle. The result upon the collections of the Important French salons Is as evident as It was natural. Where once the traveling frock made only an occasional spasmodic appearance,' today every Paris couturier exhibits clothes which are definitely and distinctly Intended for motoring and the steamer. The typical French transatlantic outfit consists of one knitted and one wool dress adapted for' wear on the steamer, a tailored dress to be worn for ordinary occasions such as sightseeing aryl street wear, a silk dress, preferably in some dark shade, and at least two evening dresses. The number of evening dresses will vary according to the Itinerary of the trip. A coat patterned on sports lines is absolutely essential for the steamer, for effect.

The house is more than 126 yean old and is still in good condition. The back windows of the upper floor of the house are boarded with sheet iron and have stout bars on the inside. Tradition has it that one of the principal menibers of Captain Kldd's band of pirates escaped with his loot, bought the old homestead and buried his treasure on the farm, or somewhere in the old house, fitting up tho back room into a stronghold from which he could note the approach from all sides.
