Effects of Lime ON Soils.

There are certain soils in which lime
is naturally deficient, though the use
of ground bone, acid phosphate and
wood ashes for the sake of the phos-
phoric acid or potash in them helps to
increase the lime often to the full
amount of it's needs. So also does the
use of land plaster, gypsum or sulphate
of lime, which are all the same thing,
though sold under all three names.
While lime will accumulate in dry
soil it teaches out of damp soil or in
a damp climate, which helps to explain
why it should and does prove beneficial
to apply dry slaked lime to soils where
the lime rocks abounds. Whatever of the
lime has become free may have leach
ed away. Good results may be expect
ed from its use where the soil is nat
urally deficient in it, or where it has
become acid or sour, frequent result
Of the presence of stagnant water in
undrained land where other plant food
elements are in the soil, but largely I'M
available, from a lack of friability and
porousness. This may be in stiff, heavy
soils, and the use Of lime will help to
tighten them up. Lime also holds mois-
ture and prevents teaching in loose
soils, and helps to destroy insects and
fungous diseases.

Poultry Notes,

Never feed laying hens on one certain
diet or any coarse grain that will pro-
duce fat.
One vigorous cock to every fifteen
hens is about right for any Of the me-
dunn breeds.
1t costs no more to select the best and
improve the flock than it does to breed
without regard to system.
One advantage with ducks is that q
large number can be raised on small
space, but more is required.
Fowls in the orchard work twofold
benefit. the orchard and the fowls Sc
curing better growth with both.
Geese and turkeys require plenty Of
room and it will not pay to keep them
unless they can have free range.
When hens have scours good remedy
is to feed powdered chalk in their soft
feed, but the best regulatiye is variety
of food.
Fowls should be allowed to run out
every day that the weather viii permit

other sacks in the same pile was bad

simple matter to dip all grain sacks
in brine and dry them before using,
or perhaps to surround the grain bins
with sailed sacks. It is an experiment

Hay, Straw and Grain Feed.

N. D., they have been trying some OF
the various feeds for horses, and find
that hay from bronze grass was as good
as that from the best timothy, but
when oat straw was used they needed
25 per cent more grain than when they
fed good hay. Barley did not give as
good results as oats for horses. Ear
corn proved good for the working
horses, Y pounds being equal to 100

Stack HaY.

Feed stack hay before that stored In
the barn to avoid loss. While the hay
will dry. out nearly as much in one
place as in another, there is a far great
er loss in feeding value in that put up
in stacks due to spelling on top by the
weather and on the bottom by damp
ness from the ground. The Colorado
experiment station found the loss to be
1874 per cent in feeding value in stack
ed hay and but 90 per cent in that
stored In barns, difference Of 10 per
cent. Thus nine tons of hay put in the
barn will feed as much stock as ten
tons put in stack. When this test was
made, the conditions were more favora-
BILE than the average season for feeding
stack hay.-American Agriculturist

Overfat Stock.


1t Is beginning to dawn upon the
minds Of farmers and feeders that
there is such thing as having animals
too fat for the slaughter as we'll as
for breeding purposes. Butchers and
marketmen have long known it, but
they made themselves safe by weigh
ing the meat before cutting off the fat,
a practice which they will probably
keep up until the customer complains
that he gets only II ounces of meat to
the pound But he would complain
quite as badly If he had the other four
ounces in fat that none of the family
would care to eat. Then the price must
be increased If the surplus fat is to be
trimmed off before weighing. This Is
one reason for the popularity of the
baby beef that has been well fed from
birth. Having been growing while it
was fattening the fat Is not all in a
layer upon the outside of the meat or
stored up around the kidneys, but the
whole flesh Is tender, Juicy and just
fat enough. The same thing is true in
mutton, and a well-fed yearling gives
better satisfaction than the three-year-
old wether that once used to be called
the best. Even some of the judges at
fat stock shows are beginning to look
a little shy at animals with great Jumps
of fat plastered along the backbone.

About Seed Wheat.


The experiment stations and farmers
VINO have trained themselves to close
observation of cause and effect have
given evidence many times that the
amount and quality of the wheat crop
ma OF other grain crops depend large
~ upon the quality OF the seed used.
1he larger and plumper seed gives the
most vigorous growing plant. It stools
put more, usually has sitter straw,
II It Is not forced by the use Of too rank
fertilizer, by which we mean one too
rich In nitrogen, and therefore the bet
ter the crop. But there are other things
desirable In good grain crop. One is
10 secure large heads well filed, and 1t
may also be desirable to have the grain
grow rapidly and mature early either
TO obtain the best result in short sea-
SON or to escape insect attacks. The
best way to secure this would be to Sc
fect the earliest maturing large heads to
be found and reserve them for seed.
The farmer who sows large areas may
think this too much trouble TO get all
the seed he needs, but he should remem-
Der that IL there Is profit in doing so
for one acre there would be greater
profit in doing so on hundred. A mod
ification of this plan is to select in this
way enough to SOW q small plot very
thin, SO that each plant will have a
chance to do it's best, and then reserve
a piece Of the best land to SOW that on
1t to produce seed wheat. A continue
ton of this process for few years
would result in the production of an
extra early, hardy and prolific wheat.
