The common Florida lime is said by ex-
perts to be the best Of its family in every
quality that makes it valuable, says the
Farmer Journal. 1t is of medium size, a
nice shape, full Of juice quick in growth,
known for making a palatable beverage.
one lime of ordinary size is enough to
make a large glass of "limeade," and, on
this account, is one of the most economical
OF fruits to use for acid drinks, as none of
Ii is wasted. The fact that it can be cas-
lily squeezed with the fingers alone is also
a point in its favor when a person wants
drink In a hurry, and squeezers are not
convenient.
The shriveled little dwarf lime called
the Mexican is the favorite acid employed
in making the 'sours" of California, aud
seems to be preferred TO lemons in many
private houses, owing TO its mild flavor;
Yet 1t is rare to ftnd the handsome, juicy
lime of Florida in any sort of house on
the Atlantic coast OF the United States.
why The reasons. no doubt are various,
but the main one is that no determined
effort has been made to introduce it to the
notice OF hotel keepers, proprietors of res
taurants and bar rooms, or TO advertise
IT'S merits among private families.
We nave an idea that If the excellent

It would supplant the lemon among fam
HES, on the ground Of economy alone.
Lemons are worth at least ten cents
dozen at retail, while two dozen lines can
be obtained for that sum- and each lime
Is as good as a lemon. This is a saving
which poor families, at least would like
no make, for a dime is an important mat
ter to them these hard times. Were they
made acquainted with the cooling and
medicinal qualities of lines, as well as
their low price, they would probably be
glad of the opportunity to purchase them
II only to use at their meals. A drink
of limeade in the morning is an excellent
mild aperient, and one of the best that can
be taken If the system is in the least few
erlsh or the mouth thirsty. Half a lime
is often sufficient for drink its acid be-
ing stronger than that of lemons, so that
lines are abouta the cheapest material
known for making cooling, palatable bey-
erages.

Air, rain and the soil, assisted by ma
nures, supply all the elements of which
the plant is built up, and as both rain and
manures are taken into the plant through
the soil, these may be considered separate
ly as sources of plant food. This subject
was discussed recently in an article con-
tributed to the Farm and Home CEngland)
by an English professor Of agriculture, and
the following extracts from that article
may be interesting and instructive to our
readers: The air supplies not only free
oxygen gas to take part in the various
chemical changes taking place I'm the plant,
but also contributes the solid carbon which
makes up so large part of the weight of
the dried plant. The carbonic acid gas
contained In the air in the very small pro-
portion is the direct source of this carbon,
and it is brought into combination with
the requisite hydrogen, oxygen and nitro
gen to form the various bodies found in
the green leaves Of the growing plant.
These green parts have the power, during
sunlight and daylight only, of decompos-
ing the carbonic acid which comes in
through the pores of the leaves, of restor-
ing the oxygen to the air, and of selling
upon the carbon to form the various sub
stances required, in ways which we can
not completely follow, even with the most
careful study. This is the general meth
cd In which the growing plant is able to
store carbohydrates. While the green
leaves are laying in store of carbon from
the air and working 1t up into the differ
net substances required by the plant, with
the aid OF oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen
and minerals, the roots have to perform
their part in collecting these minerals and
other food stuffs from the SOIL without
which the leaves would be unable to pro-
coed with their work of mamma ct11ra Tho
minerals required by the plant, being all
solid substances, are not contained in the
air, but in various forms of combination
in the soil, and it is from the soil alone, or
from manures added to 1t, that the plant
can obtain them. They can only enter
the root in a state of solution-that il, dis
solved in the rain water which percolates
the soil, and some of them perhaps dis
solved by the acid juices which ooze from
the tips Of many growing roots.

The real form combines home and busi
ness and is as Independent as possible of
all other interests, says a recent writer.
1t IS a factory where most of the neces-
saries of comfortable living are produced
and the minimum amount of supplies Is

farmer, for il is a mistake for him to buy

Of the unsatisfactory results of modern
agriculture come from buying too much
from the store. With $1.50 wheat, 50-cent
corn, 25-cont wool and 15-cent cotton, con-
ditions were different, but even then the
principle was the same. Now with beef.

"Allgretta for Preserving Eggs-A
Fraud.

We observe in several of our exchanges
an advertisement, or reading notice, advis-
ing the use of per Allgretta" as a pre-
servative for eggs We desire to caution
our readers as to this, as we are given to
understand that it is a fake. When one
tries to buy Per Allgretta al the drug store
1t will be found that 1t cannot be bought,
as no such substance is known. On writing
to the advertisers, they will offer to supply
1t at a good price. The substance supplied
Is of no value whatever az a preservative,
and costs little or nothing to the sellers. If
you desire to preserve eggs for winter use,
you will find nothing more effective than
lime water to'exclude the air, and the
keeping them In a cool even temperature.
The above remarks from the Southern
Planter is a reply to Mrs. r. D. S.,
Brunswick, Ga. There is no such drug as
'Allgretta." The writer of the article re-
ferred to, is a fraud pure and simple.

For the average farmer, who is usually
not very careful, we believe the seeds are
a safer food than the meal. Careless feed
ing of the meal produces bad results fce-
quently, where there will be none In using
the seeds. Cattle are not likely to eat
more of the latter than is good for them.
1t is advisable to moisten the seeds with
water slightly sailed, however. If a COW
chooses to eat two, or even three, pecks of
the seeds in twenty-four hours we have
never known of any harm resulting. When
used as food in the winter, the oil of the
seed produces heat and to some extent fat
and flesh, and we think it is very rare that
any evil consequences have resulted from
the lint. OF course all cattle should have
some long or rough forage along with the
cotton seeds, for the latter fed exclusive
ly for any length of time, would certainly
do harm. Cotton seeds cooked with tur-
nips with little hay and fodder, produces
about as much milk or beef as any food
that is accessible to the farmer off of the
line of railroad. At u cents, the seeds
are an economical food properly fed to
stock,
