as chalk, mari, shell, and coral sand,
ground hmstone, and as quick and
Stacked limo and its action varies ac-
cording as it is applied in any of its
natural forms, or after being burnt. In
all its active forms the lime combined
with carbonic acid, and the carbonate
is generally mixed with variable quanti-
ties of earthly ingredients, which in
some instances are important additions
to it and effect it's utility as manure
The action of lime is of complicated
character Where the soil is deficient
in lime, 1t must necessarily act by sup
plying that substance to the plants
growing in it. But this is manifestly a
very subordinate part of its action
LIST, because no soil exists which does
not contain lime in sufficient quantity
to supply that element to the plants.
I'd, because its effects are not restricted
to those soils in which it exists natu-
rally in small quantity; and, Sd, be-
cause it is found that small applica-
ton, such as would suffice for the want
OF the crops, is not sufficient to pro-
duce it's best effects
It is familiar fact that the quantity
of lime applied to the soil for agricultur-
al purposes IS very large, as much as ten
and even twenty tons to the acre having
been used, wh1lstthe smallest duplication
is exceedingly large when compared
with the mere requirements of the
crops. Of late years the very large APP
plicati0ns once in use have become less
common, as it has been found
preferable to employ smaller doses
more frequently repeated. The guam
tity used depends, however, to
great extent, on the nature and con.
dltion of the soil, heavy clays, aspect
ally if undrained, and soils of peaty
nature, requiring large application
while on well drained and light soils a
similar quantity sufices. Thin soils
also require only small application.
The geological origin of the soil is not
| without its influence, and its beneficial
effect is peculiarly seen on granite
porphyry, and gneiss soils, both be
cause these are naturally deficient il
lime, and because the decompositions
| by which their valuable constituents
are liberated take place with extreme

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
How to Water Plants.

How to Water Plants.
From careful experiments Mr. Mechi
discovered that plants slightly watered
every day often perish, and always be-
come dwarfed ; whereas a good soaF-
ing given twice week almost invaria-
bly, proves beneficial. He says:
The sum of my experience in water
ing amounts to this that thorough
soaking of the ground two or three
times week is much better than the
same amount of water applied in drib-
lets daily, only sufficient to wet the up
per surface, but not the under strata
of earth contiguous to the roots. Cold
spring water should, before applying
it to heated soil, be allowed to stand
exposed to the sun and air few hours.
The colder the water is, and the warm
er the soil, so is the necessity of apply
ing it in abundance; for it is evident,
though we cannot explain it, that the
result produced upon plants by ap-
plying cold water to the soil, when at a
high temperature, unless so cop1ously
applied as to saturate the soil com
pletely, is fatal to tender and weakly
plants, and often less or more injurious
to strong or healthy ones.

Startling Exposure of Fraud Practised
by Railway Company.

The House Judiciary Committee, in
their examination of the charge that
the transfer of the franchise of the
Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad to
the Atkinson and Pixies Peak Railroad
Company was effected by the means of
fraud, have developed the fact that the
st. Joseph and Denver City Railroad
Company, which appeared as prosecu-
tors in the inquiry, have perpetrated a
gross fraud on the public by having is
sued large amount Of bogus land
grant bonds. The exposure is this:
The ST. Joseph and Denver City Rail
road have issued land grant bonds
to the extent of seven millions of dollars,
which are covered, as they allege,
by grant of lands in Kan
sas amounting to one million
five hundred thousand acres. A let
ter of the Commissioner of the General
Land Office was read, stating that this
company were entitled to less than 400
acres of land, under the existing laws,
and that the lands which they claimed
in their circulars and advertisements
for the sale of bonds belonging to
them, we're granted to other companies
previous to the passage of the act
creating their company. 1t was, there
fore, charged that this company had
been for some time practicinq a gross
deception upon the public, in order to
dispose of their bonds. A member of
the committee says: 'EThe matter is
regarded as very serious, and it is very
probable that all the facts in the case
will be presented to the House for such
action as they deem proper" ' III

Remarkable Career Of Vessel.

The schooner Vigilant, now plying
as a packet between ST. Thomas and
st. Croix, w. l., has had a somewhat
remarkable career. She was built at
Baltimore in 1900 for the purpose of
piracy, and was used in that business
until 1910 when she was converted into
al African slave trader. After being
used in this business for several years,
she again served as an ocean freebooter
III til 1927, when she was boarded by a
Danish man-of-war, and the entire
crew, with single exception, it was
found had died of yellow fever. She
was then fitted out as privateer and
so used until 1910, since when she has
piled as merchant vessel between the
different islands of the West Indies.

Chrome Cast Steel

The report of Colonel Eads, the En-
gineer of the great ST. Louis and Illiz2s
nois Bridge, has brought into promi-
nent notice an article of American Man
ufacture known as Chrome Cast
Steel #a Etf
This steel is an amalgam of Chromi
UNI and Wrought Iron, and is produced
by melting the two together IN the
crucible in the same manner as carbon
steel - 4
Chrome Cast Steel has properties and
advantages entirely its own, and is es-
pecially adapted for tools of all kinds
It can be worked at white heat-naust
be hardened at q ve1y toaO heat, and
"cannot be injured by over-heatlng. ~
It can be welded to iron or to itself :;
leaving no trace of the weld it can
be worked and re-worked without in
Jury; and when made into tool,
will do at least so per cent. more work
than any steel, not excepting the high
est-priced and choicest brands of for
eign made. These points alone must
recommend it to all mechanics 10 =
By varying the proportion of Chromium
any required grade of steel can be pro-
duced, and when the proper formula is
once ascertained for any given purpose,
the same grade can be reproduced, ad
int7y5tetna, with the utmost certainty,
thus making it perfectly uniform in
each grade, claim no manufacturer
(even the best English) Of carbon steel
can trnthfully make. .
It is said that near a quarter of a
million of dollars had been expended
and lost in the effort to produce certain
bolts and slaves required in the bridge
above referred to, but not until the in.
ventor of Chrome Cast Steel was called
into the arena was the work success
fully done, when, as appears from Mr..
Eads report every bolt and slaves pro-
duced from Chrome Steel was success

| Chrome Cast Steel has q tensile
strength far exceeding that of any other.
In a series of experiments, the highest
tensile strain obtained was 1913, $40
pounds to the square inch; the aver
age result of twelve specimens was
ITO, $50 pounds, whilst the highest
strength of steel given in Perry's Met
allurgy, page $40, is 1872, 900 pounds
/ per square inch.
Units lower grades, therefore, this new
steel presents a material for bridge
building excelling, in tensile strength,
any metal hitherto known ...-
In the higher grades of tool steel it
is equally excellent, the ease with
which it is worked Cat much higher
heat than carbon steel will bear)renders
it very profitable to the manufacture of
tools. ,a yH..f. a..,.f sd. .,,.fisee
Chrome Tool Steel was introduced
into the Chicago market in February,
1871, by Messrs. Hall, Kimbark & Co.
and at the date of the great fire their
} sales of this brand exceeded those OF
) all other brands held by them in stock,
and they have wisely determined here
: after to keep no other brand of Amer,
