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 its 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 a dry
soil it teaches out of a damp soil or in
a damp climate, which helps to explain
why 1t 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 un-
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.

A Potato Eight.


A rainy day is almost sure to be
tedious day to every healthy, normal
boy. Checkers, after time, lose their
charm, and books cease to be of
interest. The boy stretches, kicks out
his legs impatiently and casts many
wistful glances out of the windows. He
is tired of sitting still. After holding
healthy animal spirits in check for the
larger part of a day they are likely to
break loose with a rush.
Few sports are better calculated than
potato joust to amuse imprisoned
boys. 1t has all the joys of a combat,
and yet, try as. he will, there is no pos
sibility for any boy to become rough.
In the potato joust each warrior is
armed with a fork, on the end of which

position in the center of the play room,

leg shall be lifted from the floor, and
may hold it up with either hand they

A writer in Farm and Home, Lon
don, England, says that he has lost
over sixty deer out of herd of 200,
losing from fawns to four years old.
A veterinary was called, who said they
were poisoned by eating too many
acorns. The husk caused indigestion
and destroyed coating or lining of the
stomach. Also lost several young cat
tie in the same way. while older cat
tie lost flesh, pined away and required
weeks to recover from the effects of it.
Sheep were taken out when acorns be-
gan to fall, so had no loss among them.
AS the grass was short because Of
drought, cattle and deer ate acorns
freely. The editor says the hog is the
only animal that can safely eat any
quantity of acorns, and he only when
having exercise and plenty of grass or
other succulent food. When gathered
and well ripened they are safe food in
limited quantities. Another writer in
the same paper says If ducks feed on
acorns the yolk of the egg will be a
greenish yellow and nearly black when
cooked.

Battle of New Or1e ans Showed Value
of Good Marksmanship.
"The battle Of New Orleans was the
first occasion in history" said an ex-
officer Of volunteers, Sin which highly
disciplined troops, working together
with machinelike precision, were pitted
against individual marksmen, and it is
a curious fact that the tactics adopted
by the Americans in that engagement
are just now, after the lapse of nearly a
century, being recognized by modern
military authorities as the proper way
to fight. Our British cousins are lit
tie slow to learn" continued the ex-
officer, "and history has to repeat itself
few times before it attracts their at
tention. Nevertheless it seems very
strange that the lesson they received
at Chalmette in 1915 should have been
duplicated in almost every particular
only two years ago at the Tugela Riv-
er On both occasions they were con-
frOnted by earthworks manned by ci-
william sharpshooters and attempted to
rush them with compact masses Of
splendidly drilled professional soldiers,
and on both occasions they were
frightfully and expeditiously licked.
"After the Tugela River disaster they
began to do a little hard thinking and
finally came to the conclusion that one
skilled rifeman who fights on his own
hook and brings down a man every
time he pulls the trigger is worth
twenty fancy-drilled soldiers who fire
in squads and never hit anything ex-
cept the landscape. But they might
have acquired exactly the same infor-
nation eighty-siX years ago at New
Orleans, and when I read the accounts
of that remarkable battle am filed
with admiration for the genius of An
drew Jackson. The majority of his
troops were rough backwoodsmen who
knew nothing about the manual of
arms, but We're magnificent rifle shots.
Jackson wasted no time at drills and
the only advice he gave was not to
throw away any ammunition and wait
until they saw the whites Of the enc
my's eyes before they fred That was
his sole chance of winning the day,
and if he had commanded a similar
number of trained veterans he would
have been simply overwhelmed. As
it was his backwoodsmen picked off
the British one by one and literally an
initiated whole battalions before they
could reach the foot of the intrench-
ments.
''It is absolutely certain, in my opin-
ion, that the fighting of the future will
be done in that fashion. Less and less
attention will be paid to drills and
more and more attention will be paid
to target practice. When an army en-
ters into action it will spread out in
open formation and every fellow will
proceed to make it a personal affair.
That's the view taken by the leading
authorities Of the present day, but the
originator of the idea was the grim
old gentleman whose effigy bestrides
the prancing steed in Jackson square.
He was over three-quarters of a CEN
tury in advance of the times."-New

StaCk nay
Feed stack hay before that stored In

will dry out nearly as much in one
place as in another, there is 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
12.4 per cent in feeding value in stack
ed hay and but 2.5 per cent in that
stored In barns, a difference of 10 per
cent. Thus nine tons of hay put in the
barn will feed as much stock as ten
