Golden and Gem Treasures The treasures of Tutankhamen's tomb, discovered In 1922, have been estimated at $40,000,000. One chamber wan literally crammed with'golden treasures and gems which cannot be completely listed here, but among them were three gilt statues with exquisite carvings, and heads of a python, panther and lion. These statues supported beds, also beautifully carved and glided, upon which were innumerable boxes of the finest workmanship, one contained royal robes embroidered with precious stones and also golden sundals. The throne of the king, a gilt chain enenjsted with precious stones, two life-sized statues of the king of gilt holding a mace of gold, four chariots rich with gold ornaments, and semiprecious stones, were among the first treasures removed. The cofTin itself is of untold value, being of solid gold and remarkable workmanship. The exterior is covered with intricate carvings and the mummy contained in it is adorned with a golden mask. Amulets, pectorals, bracelets, finger rings, a gold dagger, golden sandals, etc., were revealed. The innermost recess of the tomb of 1 utankhainen was filled with emblems of the underworld, boats, chariots, etc. The king's decorations and jewelry, his toilet articles and slippers. an ostrich plume fan in perfect condition were among the most interesting of the discoveries. More than. 30 statuettes were found. Good Farming Hints iFor July Attention ( lemson, July l.?Bolter farming ! suggestions for July by extension specialists show no let-up for the good farmer. Agronomy When field work slacks up, haul in grain straw, leaves, swamp grass and other litter for the compost heap. Sow peas, soybeans, or velvet beans now and they will make growth to turn under for soil building. If old corn is not so good, it is not too late to plant more. Horticulture?Remove all broken diseased limbs from fruit trees Immediately after harvesting. Pull sweet corn shortly before meal time; it loses its sugar rapidly. Place fruits and vegetables in the shade at once after harvesting, to hold their quality. For second-crop Irish potatoes use preferably Lookout Mountain. Insects and Diseases?Control tomato insects and diseases with Bordeaux lead arsenate spray. Remove and burn corn plants infected with smut. Examine banded apple trees every 10 days and destroy codling moth larvae. Dust cotton with calcium arsenate if boll weevil infestation reaches 10 per cent. Tranfer and requeen bees. ..Control Mexican bean beetle with magnesium arsenate or non-arsenicals. In screw worm territory treat wounds with pine tar and kill maggots with ' vCju?Ol, Agricultural Engineering?H a v e trench silo ready when silage is ripe. Repair and construct needed farm buildings. Plan to install water system and other farm conveniences. Continue the two-horse cultivator, setting sweeps for shallow cultivation, investigate possibilities of small streams for irrigating gardens and truck. Recondition dusting machine for poisoning bollrweevils. Narrow Escape Clover Hay?Say, dad. we all had a narrow escape from being eaten alive last summer, I tell you. Timothy Hay?How so, daughter?

DuHant, extension livestock specialist. Spring pigs put on feed now should reach desired market weight, of around 200 pounds, he advises, about September! 1 when hog prices are usually high-! est. "The number of hogs on futons January 1, 1935, according to government figures', Is the lowest In 50 years," Mr. DuKaut explains. "The five-year average of fall pigs Is around , 28 million. Last fall pigs were about' 15 million. Because or the scarcity, and high price of corn many of these' pigs have gone to market at a light weight. Government figures show that the average spring crop for the past five years has been around 50 million pigs. The average number of brood sows farrowing in the spring lias been around nine million and the' government estimate Tor the spring of 1935 was live million sow's. This re-', dueed number of sows means thut ^ the spring pig crop Is sure to J)6 short." In the light of these facts Mr. Du'Hunt advises that after the home: needs for* pork have been supplied,! farmers should feedd out their pigs, well for the fall market.- These pigs should be put on full feed about the lirst of July or as soon us feed Is available. The prospect for corn looks . good and new corn will probably be much cheaper than old corn. Whore ] corn is under fence the most convenient and profitable method would be I to hog it down. Fish meal should' be fed to these hogs while on corn. | This may be fed In self-feeders, and the pigs will not require much fish | meal if soybeans or other legume: crops are grown In the corn. County j farm agents are ready to advise and ! assist farmers in feeding problems. Conclusive ltastus: Say, Sambo, what time in your life does yo' think yo' was scared de worst?

Better Pastures For Livestock Success Clemson College, June 22 ?Oil the average South Carolina farm there Is not more than one permanent pasture, and m many Instances not even one pasture la available, and yet yur ell-. mute here demands that if we are ] going to .make the beat uae of our llveatoek wo muat have u long graz-} ing season, says Prof. L. V. Starkoy, head of the Animal Husbandry Department here. "Ah a general rule, If a large pasture is divided Into two pastures the two i>u?(ureH will furnish more grating than the one large pasture would have furnished," the specialist asserts "In other words, changing the livestock from one pasture to another gives the pasture u rest?it also gives the livestock a fresh grazing area. It' tluse two pastures are divided into] four pastures they "will furnish still more grazing and the livestock will do better. "Obviously, one of the chief reasons for (Itls condition is the fact that! the changing of animals from one pas-J ture to another is an effective way of controlling internal parasites, t which aire practically always present : in all classes of livestock in South : Carolina. There are certain parasites , common to all classes of livestock | and for this reason it is important j thut the pictures have a rest period, . wlien no livestock is grazed on tlietn. i "If Beverul pastures are available: for hogs it is possible to work out a crop rotation to the advantage of hog production as well as feed production. "Fences are too few and far between In South Carolina. More and better fences should therefore be one of the slogans for the state, for more fences will be necessary before livestock can be produced profitably In large numbers. "Frequently fencing material is wasted by fencing in woodland and other areas which have little carrying capacity. An acre of really good pasture may have adStp,uch carrying capacity as 25 acres of some of the so-called permanent pastures. By using some of the better land for pasture. less fence and much less food will lie required to keep the livestock in the desired condition." We buy and sell used cars.

Suluda wants everybody to know the value of ulun\ (or man and beast when they are bitten by poisonous snakes or insects. Mr liurman is in his 84th year He is well known in this section of the state, and has hud wide experience with all kinds of domestic animals. He has been an extensive stock, dealer, lie hus bought and sold mules am! horses, cows, shetfp, goats und dogs In Saluda, Kdgettold, Aiken, Lexingtott. lUchland, Fairfield, Newberry and perhaps other counties of the state. In the latter decades of the 19th century ho drovo hundreds of cattle on foot from his home to Columbia i4.r> miles) to sell to Clareuco t'orley, Tom and Scott l'ope, Hen and tins Dent und other Columbia 'meat dealers of the eighties and nineties. | He has hud horses, mules, cows and dogs bitten by our most poisonous' snakes, and has never found a case j where they did not get all .right when alum was used. He has hud dogs so bitten by "Highland moccasins" that their oyes were swollen shut, but In- gave them alum and they got all right. Ho has had similar results with milk cows being bitten on the udder, or mules or horses being bitten. He learned this remedy from a man by the name of Lewie, who once owned and operated the ferry on Sui luda river, lat,or known as Amick's ferry, near Macedoniu Lutheran church. (The place of this ferry 1b j now covered by the back waters of Lake Murray). Mr. l^ewls found it out when he was an overseer of negroes on a rice farm near Charleston. The negroes would carry alum in their pockets ami If they were bitten by a snake they would eat the alum urnl go on about their work unharmed. Mr. Harman has used it over 40 years and has never known It to fail to cure when properly used. He said that he told I)r. Hardin, who was once a practicing physician and a druggist at Hutcsburg about it and that lie also used It with good results. I The proper dose for man is a teuI spoonful of powdered alum taken internally; for cowh and horses three tahlespoonfuls; and for u dog one tablcspoonful. He says that lie lias found It equally effective in curing "foundered horses. The same dose being used.-?Newberry Observer. There are ubout 1,12a species of I trees in the United States. If Corn Is Short Use Oats For Hogs Clout sou, June 29.- South Carolina farmers this year are confronted with i a shortage of corn und high prices of I hogs, und would do well to make u careful Inventory of the feed which they have on hand und see whether they have enough feed to curry lite hogs to inurkctahle weight, aaya Frofeasor L. V. Starkey, head of the Alflutul llutihundry Department, ? If there is u shortage of corn on any farm Professor Starkey thinks that the owner should carefully con* shier other feeds which might be used as a substitute for corn, one of these feeds to he considered being oats. "Oats ure worth about Uir&g-f$j|rthB as much as corn pound for pound Mil hog feeding." he states. "The oats should be ground when fed to hogs. It is generally recommended that oats make up not more than 2f? iter cent of the ration, hut even when oats are the sole rut-ion the hogs still make satisfactory gains. As an Illustration ; of this, at Cleinson three years ago 1 some gilts weighing 150 pounds worn ' placed on a ration of ground oats and I ' i lish meal. Those gilts gained at the I rale of l 12 pounds* per day. while | th?-\ were on (his feed. "The South lias a decided udvuut| age when il comes to the growing of oats, because auother crop may bo grown following the outs. Farmers should therefore make It a point to grow as many oats as possible, and under conditions like the present use oats as a substitute for corn in the hog ration. Outs are also the most satisfactory grain for work stock." Judge Fixes Bond At $10,000 Judge Arthur L. Huston has set bonds ut 110,000 for uu appeal in the case of P. 8.

CAME FISH ABOUND Qn. tksL QaJwlinaA. Few states can equal the Carolinas^in the variety or abundance- of game and fish. Virtually every kind of waterfowl frequents the thousands of miles of inland sounds and lakes, with adjacent marshes and feeding grounds; there are wild turkeys, and quail in the Piedmont, and deer, bear, and other large game in the coastal and Western sections. ? -v More than 1,000,000 acres in the Carolinas have been set aside as gaqie refugees and are protected by the states and individuals where game may multiply and spread into adioininz territory,? ? < - - Deep sea fishing offers in addition to many other fish, the much sought for tarpon, Spanish mackerel and king fish. The sounds yield channel bass, bluefish, sheepshead, sea trout and striped bass. The turbulent mountain streams are nationally known for trout i ? ? ? ?.? ana small moutn oass ana tne more slowly running rivers and creeks in the Piedmont and eastern sections are among the . best large mouth bass and sunfish grounds in the nation. Numerous fish hatcheries are maintained and many millions of fish are annually distributed in Carolina streams. Hundreds of public and private hunting and fishing lodges dot the Carolinas, many of them owned by residents of other states who are nationally and internationally known, and j summer and winter sportsmen are assured well filled game bags arid creels.
