1t neutralizes free acids which cK

quick-lime or air Stacked: the first
combining directly with the acid
the second by liberating its carbonic
acid and then combining with the.
acid OF the soil. leaving the carbonic
acid to be food for plants. Lime de-
composes vegetable fibre. and reduces
tough ligneous substances, to coz
sistency in which they can be APP
propriated by plants. For this pur-
pose quick-lime should be used and
may be applied at the rate of from
twenty to thirty bushels to the acre.
Lime enters into com bination with
sand or slick. forming q substance
different from either Of them. Even
strong clays will be found to contain
much slick; and lime, by ombining
with it, makes the soil friable or

During medieval times a woman
who had nothing when she was mar.
ried escaped the responsibility OF her
debts. Women were then often mar
ried in single garment to relieve
themselves OF indebtedness. A young
and noble German lady of the six
teenth century, to make assurance
doubly sure. had the marriage cere-
mony performed while she was stand

clothing. She put out her hand
through the crack Of the door and

Tomato Farming.

The growth Of this highly esteemed
vegetable has become more general
throughout the country than any
other known 10 the gardener or the
cook, and il is made to enter into
more dishes and TO serve a greater
variety OF purposes than any one
plant known TO the dietary of the
American world. II is no longer a
garden plant in the sense that il is
not also farm product, for they are
grown in fields OF from five to TWEEN
ty-fiye acres, and made to produce a
series OF crops from early summer
until the frost comes. Like the
most OF our vegetable products
the cultivation Of the tomato may be
made profitable or not, as the man
running the business has the capac-
ity to produce the earliest, sustain a
succession Of good crops throughout

II is always in season to open for
consideration and discussion the
problem as to how best we may I'M
derGake the work for next year. To
this end Colman's Rural World has
the pleasure Of submitting the fol-
lowing from a bulletin issued by
Cornell University experimenting
station.
'.In discussing the use of fertilizers
for this crop it is advised TO use such
as are quick in their action in order
that the plant may bear an early
crop. Well decomposed manure or
soluble fertilizers are best adapted
to this purpose.
..In regard to the matter of the
early or late setting out of plants. the
experimental for three successive years
show that early setting is an import
ant matter, and that the cold winds
\ OF MAY do not injure the plants,
and even q slight frost does not al
ways seriously retard them.
lin regard TO the best time for seed
and whether artificial heat is needed,
the experiments show that the earli-
est fruit is obtained from the earliest
sowing of seed. January 10; but

Rules and Notes on Feeding.

The following rules are the result
of experiments by the Missouri ex-
pertinent station:
]. Feeding animals as much as
they can digest without injuring
their health.
,. Feed a balanced ration, i. e.,
one in which the composition is in
proportion to their needs
3. Food is required to maintain
animal heat; save food by providing
warm but ventilated shelter for your
stock.
4. Stimulate the digestive capacity
of your animal by variety of food,
salt. etc.
Stock foods are composed OF sub.
stances usually arranged into six
groups
/. Water. The amount varies with
kind of food, 1t is OF no economic
importance
=. Ash. This is the residue left
after burning away the combustible
portions. 1t supplies the mineral
ingredients to the animal body. A
portion of the ash has a manurial
value.
3. Protein. This is the nitrogen
Gus portion OF the food. 1t is used in
the animal economy to form mus
Gle" aud all other heterogeneous por-
tlons of the body; it also aids in the
formation OF fat 1t is the most val
liable ingredient
4. Fat This substance produces
animal heat, or is stored up in the
body as fat for future use. One
pound of fat will produce as much
heat as two and one-half pounds of
carbohydrates
5. Carbohydrates This group
includes the starches, gums, sugars,
etc. They produce fat and heat,
6. Fibre. This substance has
about the same composition as the
carbohy drates, but it is much less di-
gestible; il is OF but little value.

morning.
At noon the Bank Of Oregon, OF this
city, also closed it's doors, Cashier jay
w. Blain says the assets gre fifty per
cent more than the liabilities. The
amount Of deposits is small The fall
.ures were caused by the steady with
drawal Of deposits for several weeks.

Cashier Archibald of the Linn county
bank says the liabilities are about $780,
900 and the assets sS1s. 900, and that de-
positors will be paid in full. The inn
mediate cause Of suspension was the

ment Of state taxes. The state treas
urer accepted the draft and gave his
receipt therefor, but the draft. on be-
ing presented at the Salem Bank, was
not honored. The directors then held
a meeting and disagreed as to whether
or not they should supply the money to
tide the bank over the present neces-
sity. The majority finally decided tc
