Considerable lime is used on farm
lands, and usually to great advantage,
but the general opinion is that it may
be used freely in place of fertilizers.
This is mistake, for, strictly speak
ing, lime has no value as fertilizer.
Its use is purely and simply to set
loose and make available for plant food
fertility already in the soil. Its value
will be most noticeable on heavy,
rather moist lands, usually rich in
nitrogen, but which requires loosen
ing power to make it available rs plant
food, and lime does this work better
than anything that can be applied.
Lime neutralizes the free acids and
sweetens the SOIL 1t hasteus the de-
composition OF organic matter so large
ly found in the soils described, and
makes it available as plant food, be-
sides rendering such soils more porous
and open. On the other hand, if used
in too large quantities continuously, or
to the exclusion of fertilizers or man.
ures, it soon robs the soil of its fertil-
ity and becomes detriment rather
than help.

How to Pasteurlze MIX Easily.

Milk may be easily pasteurized by
using the same apparatus employed
in cooling and aerating, except that
instead of running cold water through
the machine use steam. The milk
will become hot. The temperature
can be controlled by regulating the
amount of steam let into the aerator.
The temperature of the milk will be
about $50 degrees when it reaches
the trough, but by the time it has
fallen into the can, it is cooled to 140
degrees. This is practically the pas
touring temperature, but if the tuber-
Gle bacilli are to be destroyed, the can
to receive the milk should be hot and
sterilized, and the cream can be pro-
tected by an inverted funnel, and it
may be that plate of glass should be
placed in front of and near the ridges
Of the cooler. Milk should stand in
the can about twenty minutes, when
it should be turned back into the aer-
ator, and cooled in the ordinary way
The New Jersey experiment station
finds this method very efiicacious, and
particularly applicable to small dairy
farms where regular pasteurizing
apparatus is not at hand. d.-Orango

A letter has been received from WILL
fam Henderson of Denver, who went to
Dawson City early in the rush. The
letter is under date OF July 9. The
writer states that he has been mining
on Dominion creek, where he has a
very promising claim, and had come to
Dawson for his supplies. At Dawson
Mr.. Henderson met Frank Haug, an
other Denverite, who had just got in
after being showed up" for nearly
year. He also met Stanley Peace Of
this city and others. All the business
in the way Of transportation in that
part of the Klondike is done by dogs,
and Mr.. Henderson states that they are
considered very valuable. He wit
messed sale of two for $1,000, but
Jared better himself, getting three for
500 apiece. "There are more dogs IN
Dawson" he writes, "for the size Of
the place than in any city in the world.
This is hard community" he says,
"for health. Hundreds of people seem
all broken down. By looking at a man
you can tell whether he has been here
long or not. Those who have been turn

The cough, or puff, of railway en-.

waste steam up the chimney. When
moving slowly the cough can of course
be heard following each other quite dis

While the general practice is to do
the main pruning of trees in the spring,
much of the work can be done to the
best advantage in the early fall, when
it is possible to see just where the tree
is making the growth that is valueless.
This fall pruning is especially valu-
able for young trees, which must be
directed in the form and shape desired
at an early age. 1t is not meant that
any heavy pruning should be done in
the fall, but mainly pinching back OF
the young sprouts as they grow, re-
moving the buds on others and gradu-
ally shaping the tree and regulating
the supply of the fruit on those that
come into bearing for the first timn.
The growth of the young tree should
first be upward, then outward, and
the removal or shortening of any lat
eral branches that show tendency to
shoot out beyond all the others will
prevent sapping of the trees vitality.
Several branches of about equal size
and length will form we'll balanced
and healthy tree, and any additional
growth is but drain.

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS


There are few locations in which
bees will not do well, but there are
locations that are much better than
others, and this is worthy OF notice in
locating.
Many persons are situated in the
midst of excellent bee pasturage, where
bees would prove extremely profitable
if they would adopt them. There are
hundreds of acres of alfalfa clover in
many parts of the West that no bees
have ever seen. Tons of honey might
be the result ii enough bees were in
reach of it to secure the nectar, which
OF course is q total loss otherwise.
Not only this, but the presence of bees
to pollenize the blossoms of all seed
plants, and also all fruit bearing trees
and shrubs, would well pay all expenses
OF the same, even if they did not
store a pound of honey. There is not
a scientific fruit grower or scotsman
of the present time who understands
this, but is pro6ting by the experi-
ment.-Farm, Field and Fireside.

Every relation to mankind, of hate
or scorn or neglect, is full of vexation
and torment. There is nothing to do
with men but to love them; to contem-
plate their virtues with admiration,
their faults with pity and forgiveness.
Task all the ingenuity of your mind
to devise some other thing, but you
can never find 1t. To hate your adver-
sary will not help you; to kill him
will not help you; nothing within the
compass Of the universe can help you
but to love him. But let that love
flow out upon all around you. and
what could harm you? How many a
knot of mystery and Misunderstanding
would be united by one word spoken
in simple and confiding truth of heart!
How many solitary place would be
made glad II love were there, and how.
many a dark dwelling would be filed
with light!
