ESSENTIAL TO GROWTH.
Some of the Advantages of Applying Linn
tp ha oil

Some of the Advantages of Applying Lime
to the Soil.
Lime is an essential to plant growth,
but only a small quantity is required,
and it is rarely necessary to apply for
this especial purpose.
The principal advantage in applying
lime to the soil is that it tends to make
the plant food already in the soil avail
able. Wheat requires considera BILE
nitrogen to make the best growth and
yield, and lime applied on the majority
of soils tends to make this essential
element available. 1t can often be ap-
piled to land intended to be sown to
wheat with profitable results, but to
keep applying lime and getting rid of
the nitrogen in this way often proves
injurious to the soil in the end, especial
ly if no material is applied that con-
tains good per cent. of nitrogen to
take its place.
Lime is also valuab BILE for decompos-
ing vegetable matter in the soil. One
of the best plans of using is to apply
broadcast before plowing under clover
or other green crops, especially if the
land is to be seeded to wheat
On stiff clay soil lime can often be
used beneficially, helping to make it
more loose and friable.
When used as fertilizer, or rather
to help make plant food in the soil
available, it should be applied broad.
cast over the surface after plowing and
then worked into the soil with har-
row or cultivator a short time before
sowing the seed.
In some cases lime may be applied tc
land intended to be sown to grass. 1,
is also valuable for cabbage and corn
especially when a good application OF
fresh, coarse manure has been given
Just how much can be used must be de
termined by the condition of the sol
and the cost ef the lime.-Prairit

SHADING CELERY PLANTS.

shade given them after eleven a. m.
and until night, never wilted. and
apparently grew right along without
check. The boards are held in position
simply by little stakes driven into the
ground slantingly. AS the plants are
set six inches apart in the rows, a
board fourteen feet long width may be
from eight to twelve inches) will thus
shade about twenty eight plants, and
ten or dozen such boards will be suffi-
cient to shade pretty fair supply OF
celery for an average sized family.
There are probably few farms where
all the old boards needed for this pur.
pose could not easily be found or Sc
cured. Recourse to this subterfuge will
make success with celery pretty sure.
In Septemb Der the boards may be thrown
back, the plants hoed and handled pre-
blanched by the use of the same boards,
setting one line on each side of the
row, thus encasing the plants between
two upright boards SO that only the top
leaves are sticking out above. The
boards employed for shading will. OF
course, be enough for half the patch
only. The other half may be bleached
in the same manner, either by using
more boards or by using these boards a
second time, after the first half of the
patch has been sufficiently bleached for
use and is taken up. Otherwise the
second half may be bteached by earth.

EURAl BREVlTlES.

CAREFUL observation throughout ar
extended portion of almost any of ouI
best farming districts will show thai
not one farmer in ten exercises due
care in the management of the manure
produced, even allowing it to go tc
waste while buying commercial ferti-
lizers to take its place.
IT is good thing to be systematic
Teach your boys this. Let them be-
gin by keeping record of everything
of the weather, of the work done on
the farm, the loads taken in of each
crop harvested, the cost of everything
bought or used, and the inco me from
the sales made. 1t is good practice.
WHEN commencing to feed out the
silage this fall keep in mind that to OBJ.
tain the best results it should not be
fed alone. Combine it with clover hay
and you have an excellent coarse
fodder. Then for your cattle, and for
making milk and beef, use in con.
nection with this bran, shorts, corn
meal, etc.
The Chinese are the best gardeners
in the world, not even excepting the
Germans. The reason for this. is that
they count all labor well spent that
adds an iota to the richness of the soil.
They save fertilizers and manures of
all sorts with methodical care that is
wholly unknown to our advanced agri-
culture.
Roof crops cannot be considered di-
rectly as fat or flesh producing, but
they make an agreeable change of diet
and are valuable to use in connection
with more concentrated foods, such as
corn, bran, oil meal, etc. Consisting
mostly of water, they have loosening
tendency that must be counteracted
with heavier food.
& IT is conceded that when a COW has
good pasturage in summer she should
produce more milk and butter than
when fed on dry food in the winter,
but at all seasons of the year the cows
should have proportion of grain;
corn meal and bran being excellent,
especially when the cows have recent.

diagonally to the runners a little more
than half way to the front from the
back end. A stout beam was secured
to the runners by the bolts, which Sc
cured the ends of the tire which was
between the runners and the beam. A
swing bolster was attached to the beam.
The heavy tire braced the sled and held
it in shape. The raves and wide beams
being dispensed with, reduced the
height of the sled and made loading
easy. 1t also made it lighter and easier

Good Management tho Keystone Of Fl.
nancial Success.
Last year a great wall went up from
the dairy region of a certain eastern
state at the low returns for milk prod
ucts. "There 1. no money in it; we are
keeping our cows at loss" cried the
majority. We were, however, person
ally cognizant of many dairymen who
were actually laying up money on those
very prices. They were not close-fisted
misers either; but farmers enjoying all
of the good things of life. What was
the secret then of their making both
ends meet and having surplus left
over, on an income that their neighbors
found insufficient to balance their an
nual outlay?
1t was simply frugality, or in other
words wise economy that did it. The
farm was made TO yield, aside from the
dairy, nearly enough to supply the fam
lily treasury SO that at least a part of
the dairy income could be applied to
farm improvements or invested else
where. This is not fancy sketch, but
an array of vcritable facts coming un-
der the writer's observation. They
confute the idea that common dalrying
cannot be made to pay in this year of
grace 1891. By the way, if all depart
ments of agriculture cannot be made to
pay here in America during this great
labor-saving age, when has it or when
will it ever become a profitable bust.
ness?
Bad management will work ruin in
the dairy as quickly as it will in any
other business, and to succeed at milk
husbandry we must be frugal in dairy
matters as we'll as in others. There
will always be poor, complaining, un
successful dairymen as there always
has been, but this casts no slur on the
stability of the business; the object
should be not to become one of these
alcontents.-George e. Newell, il

Experience.
Samuel Lotus spent day on the
banks of Hogan creek fishing. He wa;
not very successful, and as the SUI
dropped down in the west he laid tht
two fish he had caught on the bank ano
meandered up the creek. He returned
in short time only to discover that til,
fish were gone.
Samuel was angered at this, and he
made up his mind to find those fish l.
they were anywhere in the neighbor
hood. Finally he saw the tail of one OF
the fish protruding from beneath a
ledge of rock just at the waters edge
Lotus at once began to tear away the
rock and earth from above the fish
when to his surprise he discovered IA
nest of muskrats nearly full-grown.
The young rodents had pulled the fish
into their hole as far as their size would
permit and had begun to make a meal
of them.
When Lotus broke into their hiding.
pace the baby rats began to squeal in
fright, and the cries attracted the at
tention of the parent rats, who were in
the neigborhood. With screams the
little animals, anxious to save their
young, attacked the farmer, swapping
with their long, sharp teeth at his hands
and arms. Their cries attracted other
rats near by. and from dozen nests
came answering cries that foreto,d a
united attack on the common enemy.
Before Lotus could realize his danger
the fierce little animals were all around
him, biting his face, neck and limbs.
The farmer yelled with pain and struck
and stamped and kicked at the rats, but
they hung on like so many bulldogs
until he was bleeding from score of
wounds.
Faint from fright and loss of blood,
the young farmer knew that his only
hope was in flight and, with dozen OF
the fierce assailants still clinging to
him, he staggered down the stream,
leaving the little animals victors of the
field. Lotus killed many of the rats in
his desperate fight, but when one fell
another took it's place. AS if by in.
stinct they sought to bite his throat,
and it was only by shielding this vital
portion OF his body at the expense OF
his hands and arms that LOTUS go;
