Lime as q Fertilizer.

Massachusetts, Ploughman says that
the reason why lime is not used much
in New England is perhaps due to the
comparative scarcity of limestone in
most parts of this section. That it exerts
beneficial action upon peaty lands
and upon lands that have been for a
long time cropped and MANFRED, there
is abundant evidence in all places where
it has been tried There are many places
near our large towns and cities where
oyster and clam shells are thrown away
in considerable quantities. These are
easily converted into good lime by burn
ing them in limekiln built of bricks
for the purpose, or where there is not
enough demand to warrant the building
of kiln for the purpose the shells may
be imperfectly burned in a heap, con-
structed with alternate layers of shells
and firewood and covered over with a
layer of sod to retain the heat, leaving
a smoke hole in the middle on top. 1t is
not necessary to use good wood for this
purpose. In this way dressing of lime
might be cheaply prepared wherever
shells can be had, and the labor would be
we'll repaid in the increased fertility Of
the soil.

Protection From Lightning

The weather bureau of the United
States department of agriculture has re-
Gently issued circular of information,
by Mr.. Alexander McAdie, upon PRO
lection From Lightning" tits designed
to give valuable information to the peo-
pie in regard to the character OF light
ming flashes, the danger to be appre-
hended from this source and the best
methods of protection. In this connec-
ton it offers many practical suggestions
and gives some some valuable instruc-
lions regarding the erection and use OF
lightning rods. According to data con-
tanned in this circular, lightning destroys
So, 900, 600 worth of buildings annually
in the United States. The largest num-
Der of buildings struck are in New Eng.
land, and it is stated that the risk of be-
ing struck by lightning in the country
Is five times greater than in the city.

why He Likes Southdowns.

Because they of all sheep will produce
more meat at less cost from given area
than any other breed of sheep, for you
can keep 80 of these Southdowns where
only 20 of the larger breeds can be kept
on the same food and area. They are
small in size, but great in value They
are big sheep in little room. They are
sheep that produce the greatest weight
where the best points are, for many of
you may not be aware of the fact that
the hind quarters Of Southdowns are
always one to two pounds heavier than
the fore quarters. This is a merit pecul-
lar to them They are producers of
fine wool of the best quality, and al
though the weight of the fleece is not
SO much as of some other breeds, taken
as whole, the figures would show a
farmer received in cash more profit from
the produce of SO Southdowns than from
any other breed, if an account of the
cost of food and attendance were prop
erly kept.
I prefer them because of their hardi-
ness, freedom from disease and their
ability to live and thrive in extremes of
heat and cold, for they are to be found
all over the world. On their native
downs they have great extremes of eli
mate to endure, from the heat of sum-
mer to the almost arctic cold Of winter,
and their fine, thick wool and close
fleece is most essential to their we'll be-
ing, with which, being impervious to Ell
ther wet or snow, they are able to put
up with the greatest hardships, cold and
wet, without any i'll effects to their
bodily health or to the quality of their
wool. Thus not only do you by keep
ing flock Of Southdowns keep sheep
of the most valuable mutton breed, but
you keep one whose wool is of the finest
and best quality and is not affected by
the weather in the manner it affects
other breeds.
prefer them because they will thrive
and live as we'll where other sheep
would almost starve; because they are
small eaters and rapid fatters and will
come to maturity as early as any other
sheep in the world; because Of their
small size they produce just the joints
that make the highest price in the mar
ket.
Another reason why Southdowns
should be kept is that am sure if you
could get your upper ten" to taste a
good mutton chop or joint Of mutton
such as we produce in England the de-
mand for mutton would increase ''by
leaps and bounds" for what keeps the
fashion for eating mutton at SO low an
ebb is no doubt the poor quality that
butchers can get. Increase the quality
and trade will certainly follow. And,
lastly, because rams and ram lambs Of
this breed are by far the best sheep fol-
producing cross bred mutton from
sheep whose pedigrees are not recorded
or to use on various other breeds for max
ing better mutton sheep for the butcher.
