Lime as n Fertilizer.

Those who believe that lime is
necessary as fertilizer, and their
opinions are,not based upon actual
tests of the soil, they would do we'll to
test it. Stir up four or five teaspoon
fuls of the soil with enough water to
make thick paste. Allow it to stand
fifteen minutes. Then part Che soil
with knife blade and insert one end
of strip of distinctly blue litmus
paper Ito be had at any apothecary
store), pressing the soil about the pa
per. After five minutes remove the
paper carefully in order not to tear it
and rinse quickly with water. If the
blue color has disappeared and red
one taken its place, the need OF lime
is probable. The fingers should never
be touched to the end Of the paper to
be inserted in the soil, for they alone
will redden it intensely.
1t would also Je we'll to test as fol-
lows: Take two glasses, place three
teaspoonfuls of soil in each and add
water till half full; to one glass add
two teaspoonfuls Of ammonia WAGER,
to be obtained of any druggist,
stir both thoroughly and again five
minutes later. Allow them to settle
and if the one to which ammonia was
added gives black inky looking
liquid, and the other settles out nearly
clear, further evidence of the need OF
lime is givcn.
The first test should be relied upon
il but one is used, but if the second
agrees with\the first, the case is so
much the more certain. Where lime
is lacking, beet leaves often turn red
and many of the young plants die;
lettuce plants also often do the same.
On light. sandy soil from 1000 to
1000 pounds Of air-slaked lime may be
applied on the furrows and narrowed
in, preferably in the autumn. On
heavier soil from one to two tons per
acre may be used in this manner. On
heavy and moist soils, there is less
danger from spring applications than
on light ones. II air-slaked lime is
not to be had, ordinary builders lime
will answer, only the quantity may be
reduced in that case to about two
thirds the amount. Place the Jumps
in piles OF forty to fifty pounds each
and cover with moist SOIL In few
days it will be sufficiently slaked so
that it can be spread with a shovel.
Harrow or cultivate in the lime at once.
II there are any Jumps, repeat the har-
rowing or cultivating after two or three
days, when they will have slaked so
that the lime can be mixed with the
soil. If the land is very dry, sprinkle
each pile with about half pail of
water before covering it with soil.
Twice as much of wood ashes as of air
slaked lime, will also answer.
Potatoes planted ON lined land
should be treated with corrosive sub
Innate solution or formalin to prevent
"scab." Watermelons should, if pos
sible, be planted on unlimed land, or
where the lime has been applied two
or three years previously. American

Cost OF nigh Bred Poultry.

Convinced that he should follow the
advice of those who know how to i'm.
prove the flock of fowls, the farmer is
naturally anxious to know what the
cost of new blood will be. II the
flock is the ordinary farm stock,
mainly ihongrels, and the grade is to
be raised chiefly from egg production,
new blood of dollar head will be
good enough. II the stock already
on hand is of one breed and of fairly
good quality, and the new blood is
desired to add to the size of eggs or
to increase egg production or size of
coming chicks, then stock at four or
even five dollars a head is none too
good. II fancy fowls are wanted, bred
to the standard, then he must expect
to pay anywhere from ten dollars up
per bird. But where you can get
stock which will add to the value of
that you already have. II increased
egg production is wanted, buy from
breeders who are willing to guarantee
that their stock is all they claim for it
in the matter of egg production. If
weight and markings are desired, buy
from those making speciality of these
points. Last, but by no means least,
not be fooled by the claim that north
ern bred stock is necessary to add
value to southern focks, or vice versa.
1t is agreed that certain seeds north.
ern grown are best for southern plant
ing, but the claim will not hold good
water with poultry. Buy where you
can get the best value for your money
and the nearer home the better, other
things being equal. Atlanta Journal.

There is great danger of blood

There is no poison in the hogs teeth

snake. 1t is rather the poison which
comes from the saliva, as the hog is
very indiscriminate feeder and not at

angry the amount of this saliva is
greatly increased, and the danger is
greater. Even slight confusion
from hogs tooth should be prompt

Dilute carbolic acid, one part of the
