Limo For Arid Soils.

G. o. Flagg, director Of the Rhode
Island station, writing in The New Eng
land Homestead, says:
From many tests made upon land in
various parts of the state it has been
found that much of the plain land OF
Rhode Island is perhaps more acid than
it should be for most profitable cultiva-
tion. Upon land that is acid the appli
cation of air slaked lime in quantities
Of one to three tons evenly spread and
thoroughly worked into the soil after
the land is plowed for crop has been
productive of good results. If the land
referred to by your correspondent is
overgrown with moss, "worn OUT or
fails to grow clover when sown, l
should not hesitate to apply one or two
tons Of air slaked lime per acre and
thoroughly work it into the soil by re-
peated narrowing. The lime will prob
ably hasten the decomposition and make
the fertilizing material in the soil more
quickly available, which would be de-
sirable for any early crop. The appli-
cation of the lime is especially desirable
if land is to be seeded to clover in the
near future.
The Portland daily press., 1895-06-15
Points In Corn Culture.

A bulletin from the Indiana station
gives summary Of conclusions from 6
series Of experiments in corn culture:
The best yields Of corn have been pro-
duced by planting in the first third OF
May. Late planted corn has matured in
20 days less time, as rule, than the
early planted. Thick planting has pro
duced higher average yields of both corn
and stalks than thin planting In very
dry seasons thick planting has produced
less grain, but generally greater total
yield of grain and stalks than thin plant
ing. Flowing eight inches deep has pro
duced slightly greater yields of corn than
either shallower or deeper plowing. Ro-
tation of crops has proved an excellent
means of sustaining yields Of grain and
Of conserving soil fertility.
A liberal application of fresh horse
manure has not been fully exhausted by
dozen successive crops of corn. Fresh
horse manure has produced an aggregate
increase in yield of corn of about 1870
bushels per aero in 10 years. Heavy
dressings Of manure and commercial fer
tlhzers have not made profitable returns
in yield of corn in dry seasons. Differ
ent varieties Of corn show very wide
range in proportion of stalk and ear
and make it easy for the stockman to
select a variety that will produce large
or small percentage Of grain. The CO.
operative test Of varieties Of corn indi-
Gates the undesirability of getting seed
from remote localities.

THE LINCOLN CABINET.
A Combination of Able Men Rarely Seen
in American Politics.
(St. Louis Giobe-Democart.)

Su. LOUIS UlOD6-DeIlOCdfU.
With the death of Hugh Mccullough
the last surviving member of Lincoln S
Cabinet passes away. Of the men who
at one time or another sat around the
Presidential council table between March
4, 1861, and April Is, 1865, Caleb B.
Smith died shortly before Lincoln, and
Seward, Chase, Fessenden, Stanton and
Bates departed few years later, followed
not long afterward by Welles, Dennison
and Montgomery Blair, while the demise
Of Speed occurred about eight years ago,
and that of Cameron and Usher at a
more recent date.
In the general average of the ability
and prominence of its members Lincoln S
Cabinet compares favorably with the
greatest of the Presidential councils.
Half of Washington's Cabinet-Jefferson
and Hamilton-were men of the highest
order in craftsmanship and influence
but the other two original members
Knox and Edumnd Randolph-were of
a much lower rank intellectually and
their names are not known to the general

blages of executive advisers, that of Mon
roe, contains, among other men, John
Quincy Adams, William H. Crawford
John G. Calhoun and William Writ The
first Harrison had Webster, Ewing, Bell
and Crittenden in his council; Polk had
Buchanan, Robert ]. Walker, Marcy and
George Bancroft; Pierce had Marcy, JEFF
ferson Davis and Caleb Cushing, and
Buchanan at one time and another had
Cass, Dix, jeremiah S. Bla OK and Stan
ton, but all of these did not serve togeth-
er. These are the greatest names on the
rolls of the strongest Cabinets which ap-
peared along to the war days
Lincoln's official family will rank near
ly as high as any of those in the intellec-
tual and social distinction of it's mem
bers 1t was admirably chosen both to
meet the duties which would confront it
and to represent the different elements of
the party which was in power. Lincoln
went d little farther than almost any of
his predecessors in placing in his council
the men who had been his rivals for the
Presidency. Seward, Chase, Cameron
and Bates figured prominently as aspir-
ants in the nominating convention.

Warts.

There are all sorts of remedies for warts
which are sometimes so disfguring.
The simplest is that advised by the Medi-
cal Record, which says that rubbing the
wart with sweet oil once day for two or
three weeks will remove it. This ought
to be good authority and more worthy of
a trial than some of the ridiculous charms
which people yet believe in and thus keep
alive the superstitious phase of medicine.
