Either the new county treasurer's

furniture has been ordered for it. The
commissioners, in selecting the wooden
furniture allowed the various county
officers to make a statement of the
amount needed.
The county treasurer said he would
require four tables and when they came
they were found to be very large and the
best that can be done is to get three of
the tables into the space in the room left

then the space is crowded. 1t is not

OF Interest
To Farmers

WHY IS GRASS FAILING AND sORREL
INCREAIsNG.
We find the greatest drawback with
the farmers to-day is the shortage in
grass crops. Heavy fertilizer bills and
poor grass crops are bringing our
farmers to the verge of bankruptcy.
We would advise them to call halt in
general and do as great many are
now doing through Carroll, Hartford,
Frederick and Cecil Counties, Md; (;
Adams, York, Lancaster and Chester
Counties, Pa; go to lining so as to
regulate your overcharged acid soils.
Lime will neutralize your acid poisoned
soils, increase its power and bring it
back into a healthy condition and
cause your grass to grow in abundance.
Your soil contains an inexhaustible
supply of all the elements of crop
material and good agricultural lime
is the cheapest and most profitable
mode to be adopted by the farmer, as
lime in its quick state will only cost
from three to four dollars per ton de-
livered anywhere in Delaware and on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
Would suggest that farmers contem-
plating buying lime, purchase lime as
nearly pure as possible. The less Mag
nesia and other. refuse substances the
lime contains the more valuable it is.
Do not rate or compare the price of
lime for what it sells per bushel but
figure out the analysis and see in which
lime you are getting the most soluble
lime, at the same time remembering
that it is not the bulk or weight of
Silica, Oxide of Iron or Magnesia that
you need as such lines are dear at half
price. The purer the lime the better it
will act, the less it will take and the
longer it will last.
1t is very important for the farmer
to consider the quality of the lime
before buying it. 1t will not pay to
handle the common grades of lime
when you can buy the very best at
about the same or at least within a
cent or two per bushel. 1t is not cheap
lime but good acting agricultural lime,
free from Magnesia and other mineral
impurities, that the farmer needs.
Ges a first class agricultural lime. 1t
will pay you much better. Some farm
ers for a half cent or cent less per
bushel will buy the cheapest lime that
is offered when they are actually losing
at times as much as so per cent. Of
their investment by getting an inferior
quality.

CORN SOUP.

Not every honsekeeper knows that a
delicious soup may be made of Indian
corn. Cut from the cob enough corn
to make one pint, cutting carefully and
merely opening the kernels of the ear
the first time the knife passes over it
it, afterwards sceapping carefully SO as
to remove the conteLts of the kernels
and leave the shell OF them clinging to
the cob. A I'D to the Corn a pint of

Rsling hay.

In reply toa query about baling hay
direct from meadows the editor Of The
Hay Trade Journal thus replies in. the
columns OF The Rural New Yorker:
This is done along the Hudson river,
where the hay is put aboard barges and
sent to New York city for immediate
use. The hay is put up in large bales,
weighing $50 to 200 pounds. but loosely
pressed. and even then, -oftentimes, this
hay gets hot and loses in value very ma
terially. My advice is to have the hay
well cured before pressing, as it would
be disastrous to press it from the field
and Put it i'll store Only immediate use
could prevent it from heating and being
a total loss. made an experiment. in
this direction number Of years ago.
The hay taken from the meadow was in
good condition to go into the barn. I
had several bales of it pressed, allowed
it to remain in the store for 80 days and
then dumped it in the river, as it was
absolutely worthless.

Cost of Irrigating.

The expense of an irrigating plant
and the cost of operating it will depend
upon the distance the water has to be
raised and carried to get it upon the
land as well as the method of moving
it. Professor Taft Of the Michigan Ag-
ricultural college says that windmill
with pump, we'll and reservoir, suit
able for from three to five acres, should
not cost more than from $500 to $500 if
the water does not have to be raised more
than 40 feet, and there would be COM
paratively little expense for operating it.
"A pumping plant, operated by a
steam Or gasoline engine, suitable for 20
acres and capable of supplying so or 80
acres, would cost perhaps 81, 900. The
cost Of fuel for the latter would perhaps
be 10 cents per acre for e1evating the
water required for one application,
reckoning it at 1 per cent per horse
power for each hour operated, while for
the steam engine it would be about
twice that amount. Using a steam en-
gine and centrifugal pump, water for
one application for 10 acres can be
raised 40 feet for about 81, including
cost of attendance, and So will distrib-
ute it upon the land, making the cost,
aside from the interest upon the invest
ment, rather less than 81 per acre. With
gasoline engine it would be $3.50 for
fuel and So for applying the water, or
65 cents per acre for each application.

that reservoirs are easily and cheaply
constructed. They are made by throw
ing up embankments of earth to the

the water Is pumped in, and cattle or
horses are turned in and driven about
until the bottom and sides are thor
Oughly puddled. Sometimes heavy clay
Is hauled from some clay bed or bank

Watering Horses.

1t used to be the rule to keep horses
from drinking at noon or night after
they had been working through the
forenoon or afternoon until they had
eaten their feed and had cooled down.
This was considered necessary in order
to prevent injury from taking cold water
while the system is heated. But this Is
cruel to the horses, as they cannot eat
what they should if they are parched
with thirst. The better way is to give
each horse in the middle Of the forenoon
pail Of water into which small guam
tity Of oatmeal has been stirred. This
will refresh and invigorate the horse
without doing any injury and will pre-
vent him from being injured by. drink
ing freely at noontime The drink, being
nourishing, rallies the strength and en-
ables the animal to do great amount
Of work without failure. American

FALLow FIELDS.
These Are No Longer Favored Seeding
with q Catch Crop Advised.

These Are No Longer Favored Seeding
with . Catci, Crop Advised.
In former times it was common
practice among farmers to allow a field
to lie fallow for one season in order to
increase its fertility. The advisability
of this process is extremely Questionable.
according to H. W. Wiley, who has the
following to say on the subject in re-
port from the division of chemistry,
United States department Of agriculture.
During moderately dry summer
there is probably very little loss expert
enced by plowing field after the spring
rains and keeping its surface sufficiently
well cultivated during the summer to
prevent the growth Of weeds. In the alb
sence of heavy rainfall the stores Of
available nitrogen in such soil will
undoubtedly be increased during the
summer But in case of heavy rains,
producing thorough saturation and
teaching of the soil, the losses in a field
lying fallow during the summer will
be very great, and it is not well at any
time to take the risk.
1t is advisable, therefore, instead Of
allowing the fields to lie fallow, to seed
them with catch crop, such as barley,
rye or peas, which may retain the prod
ucts Of nitrifcation. When the time
comes for seeding the field with the in
tended crop the catch can be turned un-
der with the plow and, in the process of
decay, furnish again the nitrogenous
food in an available form. This practice
should never be neglected in fields
which lie over during the winter in
preparation for planting during the fol-
lowing spring.
OF course this statement does not ap-
ply so particularly to fields which may
be plowed late in the autumn, after the
activity of the nitrifying ferments is
practically suspended for the winter. In
temperate climate fields may be plowed
late in November or during the month
of December and the freshly turned soil
be exposed to the action of the weather
during the winter without great danger
of loss.
In many localities even an earlier
period might be chosen for the autumn
plowing, which should be deep or ae-
companied by subsoiling. The loosened
soil should be brought into good tilth
and thus form an absorbent which will
hold large quantities Of moisture, be-
coming available for the following sea-
son during the period Of deficient rains.
