Of climate and soil in The United
States. These variations find their

FARM and GARDEN
Effect of Lime on Acid Soils.

In some greenhouse tests at the
Alabama Experiment Station upland
soils, sandy and deficient in humus,
Savannah land, and light gray loan,
usually too wet for cultivation, and
the stiff, black soil from swampyh ham
mocks were treated with lime. Let
tuce planted On the first kind Of land
was a total failure. In the box con
tanning the Savannah soil, lettuce on
the lined portion was three times as
large as that on the portion that re-
ceivedno lime. Radishes were hard
~ so good on the lined portion. On
the hammock soil the lettuce was best
on the lined end and there was APP
parently no difference with the rad
isnes.

miles west Of Chicago:

Quoted as a separate business. Rals-
ing the feed, saving of scattered feed

otherwise be wasted, and the health
and vieor maintained in a flock al
lowed the wide range afforded by a
farm. are unquestionable advantages.
,. The poultry business, on the
farm or elsewhere, is pre-emlnent!y
one of details, and cannot be neglected
in the smallest Of them without conse-
ouent loss. Because of this required
attention TO minutia, ONE are often
more successful poultry raisers thar
men.
3. It is folly to keep more fowls or
to undertake to raise a larger number
OF chicks than the owner, or e respon-
slble member of his family, a per-
sCnallv attend e.
!. 1t is most satisfactory to keep
bat 4 variety Of fowls. They look
better in the flock, make a more uni
form and handsome appearance when
prepared for market, and customers
are better pleased with a basket OF
eggs we'll matched in size, shape and
color. Selections shonld be made ac-
cording 70 whether eggs OF meat or
both are wanted. Personal fancy may
also be consulted. For a general
purpose fowl we believe the Plymouth
Rock Is unsurpassed.
5. An Intelligent study Of the poul-
try business; details III regard to
buildings, feed, diseases, preparing
for market, and kindred subjects,
such as may be found in a progressive
poultry Journal, Is requisite to sue

regular customers. gaining and hold

freshness OF poultry products and at

Z. The best time to sell hens is in
June OIL July. Plymouth Rocks al
two years Of age, a good selling age,
Will often weigh six, eight and even
ten pounds, and from select custom
ers will bring ten to fourteen cents
Per pound. Early chickens are hardel
to raise than late ones; they are also
more profitable.
s.. We have realized greater profits
from the sale Of eggs than from tina
of chickens, but believe 3 combination
Of the two is desirable.
9. The exercise Of intelligence, in
dustry, common sense, patience, per
severance and eternal vigilance will
insure successful poultry raising on tn
farm.-Farm, Field and Preside.

Feeding Cows Too Much Grain.

Cows differ much in their ability to
make profitable use of the grain fed
them. Those which have the beef
tendency strongly developed will at
n begin to fatten on grain, unless
it is fed in such moderate amounts
aud combined with a large amount Of
s~ucculent food. Those who have en-
sllage or roots, especially beet or
mangel wurtzel, can feed more grain
COWS and have the fat go to the milk
pail than those who only have dry
feed. It is not safe to feed a farrow
COW much grain, nor yet Il that IS
will then stimulate the milk glands too
much and probably cause garget. Yet
it Is an advantage to a COW to be in
pretty good flesh when she drops her
calf. The inside fat she then carries
will mostly be used up in ~enriching
the milk the following summer.
Novel Kicking Straps.
An excellent device to prevent a
horse kicking when in the harness IS
shown in the illustration. A heavy
strap is buckled around the lower part
of the collar in front and passed be
tween the front legs. About a foot
back of this a pulley is attached and
a light strap, a, is buckled around the
girth to prevent it from falling and
getting the ropes, straps, ETC., en-
tangled in the horses legs.
A strong rope is run in the pulley
and extends back to the hind legs.
Iron rings, b, are tied in the ends OF
the rope and one is placed directly in

other just below the hook to proven.
it rom slipping up or down. It is
readily seen that while walking. the
rope works in the pulley, but If the
horse attempts to kick with one foot.
the other resting on the ground will
hold it irm, or If al attempt Is made

be the sane.-American Agrlculturist.
