The chief use of lime from an agri-
cultural standpoint is to sweeten the
soil and to act upon latent plant food,
breaking down organic matter and set
ting 1t free so that plants can utilize it..
Lime in itself contains little or no ele-
ments which plants require and is not
properly classified as fertilizer. 1t is
used commonly in preparing land for
wheat or rye, but may also be sown
broadcast on meadows. The presence
of red sorrel in any quantity indicates
that the land is sour and acid and is a
sign that an application of lime would
be beneficial. Wood ashes in n less de-
gree serve the same purpose, as they
contain n considerable proportion Of
lime. They also have the additional
value of adding potash and phosphoric
acid to the soil.

Gruh In Head of sheen.

In Scotland when they have reason
to think the sheep have grub in the
head the shepherd usually takes each
one and blows tobacco smoke up the
nostrils almost to the point of stupefy-
ing the sheep and the grubs, too; then
gives to each a pinch Of yellow snuff to
start them sneezing, which dislodges
the grub, so that 1t is discharged. We
never tried this because the putting
out a little pine tar on boards and
scattering a little salt on it usually
tarred the nose of the sheep so that the
fly did not trouble them, or for a small
flock we took them as they went out Of
the yard and with wooden paddle
daubed the nose of each one as we let
them through the gate.

Nuts Ms Food.

Nuts contain large amount of nour-
ishment, and owing to their oily nature
digest easily. Eaten with salt they are
palatabe. Either as n dessert course
or salted and used as q relish their
value Is the same. They are not eX-
pensive, for from the peanut through
the imported varieties they can be
bought in bsllk at small cost.
The peanut has many good qualities
to recommend it, and from its low estate
Is coming to the front as an important
item in dietetics. 1t is supposed to cure
insomnia If eaten just before retiring.
Sailed, they are much cheaper than al
monds. The small hickory nut. at n
few cents quart, can be used on the
most economical table. The English
walnut makes a very good salad
blanched and used with celery. Fill
berts, almonds and Brazil nuts are
more expensive, but as only few are
needed at time the cost Is not great

You are skeptical about the accuracy
of this statement and ask why water
does not leak from bottle if there are
holes in everything? The answer is
simple enough-the drops or globules
of water are bigger than the holes.
Taking glass as an illustration, we find
that air Is about the only substance
that can get through those holes.
a scientist proposes the following as
an experiment.: Place bell in a bottle
exhausted of air and hermetically
sealed. The bell will not ring because
the medium for conveying sound is not
there.
Set the bottle aside for few months,
then try the bell again, and it will ring,
family, perhaps, but nevertheless there
will be sound. That means that the
air has got In. 1t has made its way
through the holes in the glass.
The incandescent lamp is bulb of
glass exhausted of air so that the slen-
der filament may glow when the cleo
tricity runs along it. The air works
Its way in gradually and the light be-
comes less brilliant in proportion.

The LandIubber Ducks Of Sahara.

"The proverbial fcsldness of ducks
for water would lead one to presup-
pose that of all the world the most des-
titute of ducks would be the Sahara
desert and that If stray 'springtaiP
happened to drift into that region he
would either vamoose or turn up his
toes with briefest delay. Well, not at
ALL" said Frenchman who was for
merly a resident of Tunis.
"There are parts of the desert where
ducks abound, flourish and multiply
with every evidence of perfect salts
faction. The fowl is slightly different
from any of the varieties we know in
this country, but 1t has the same fiat
bill, extensive breast and web feet,
showing that 1t was once water bird,
though now 1t scarcely finds enough to
drink and has become too provident to
waste any OF the precious fluid in ablu
tions. Like the other good Mussulmans
of the country, they take their prescrib-
ed bath in the sand, and their web feet
come in very handy as snowshoes to
walk upon the deep yielding dust 1t
Is claimed by an eminent French orni-
thologlst that the Saharan ducks are
the remains of race of aquatic birds
which frequented those seas when the
present desert was part of the Allan
tic ocean,"

Negro Superstition.

Many Of the negro superstitions in
Kentucky are quite interesting. An
old philosopher told me with great
gravity: "If you want peppahs to grow,
you must git mad. My old oman an
me had spat, an l went Tight out
an planted my peppahs, an they come
right up" Still another saying is that
peppers to prosper must be planted
by a redheaded or by high tempered
person.
The negro also says that one never
sees a jaybird on Friday, for the bird
visits his satanic majesty to pack kim
ding" ON that day. The three signs
in which negroes place implicit trust
are the well known ones of the ground
hogs appearing above ground on the
Cd of February, that a hoe must not be
carried through house or death will
follow and that potatoes must be plant
ed in the dark of the moon as well as
all vegetables that ripen in the ground
and that corn must be planted in the
light of the moon.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Plant. Poisonous 10 Animals.


The bulletin from the Montana ex-
pertinent station gives list of IA spe-
cies of plants which are known or
strongly suspected of poisoning ami
mails. Among them are the lupines,
which killed 100 out of 200 bucks fed
on hay and in 1898 some 1000 sheep
from eating ripe lupine on the range
The trouble seems to be in the ripe or
nearly ripe seed. The purple and tall
larkspur killed 40 cattle in the Gallatin
valley when other plants We're covered
with snow. Aconite, water hemlocll
and nightshade have proved poisonous
to both man and beast. All these are
more or less frequent In certain parts
of New England, says American Guilt
vator. The death camass we do not
know and think it is not to be found
here. In 1893 dairyman had field
of oats so badly smitten that he cut
them for hay instead of letting the
grain ripen. Out of 30 cows which
werr given one feed of it II died with
in Is hours, having both gastric and
cerebral trouble. Ergot on native grass
es Is claimed to have killed a number
of horses in from six to eight hours,
the muscles of the throat being para
lyzed first, and then the whole body
paralyzed. Strychnlne and whisky
seems to be the only remedy having eff
feet 1t is better to avoid feeding ergot
or smut on any grass or grain.

Mule Versus Horse.

Mules are preferred for farm work in
the south because they require less
feed, are less liable to disease, harder
every way and will do more work than
horses 20 per cent heavier, says Farm
and Ranch. They are more reliable
and have fewer vices. They are not as
fast as horses, but get there sooner be-
cause their gait is more uniform and
persistent. y pair of good mules makes
the best farm team on earth. Under
the saddle dhe mule does not show off
like horse, but there is far more COM
fort in riding one. They are more sure
footed and in critical junctures find a
way out far more readily than horse.

Called LOril1ard's Bluff.

Heavy bettor as he was, Pierre Loril-
lard once met his match when he ran
up against gray bearded James E.
Kelly, who introduced bookmaking into
this country. 1t was nearly a genera
tion ago and at Jerome park. Kelly
was laying 21a to / against one of
Lorillards horses in a big stake event.
The news went to Mr.. Lorillard, seated
on his coach on the clubhouse lawn.
"I'll just take little of the conceit
out Of that sawed off Irishman," said
Morris, John Hunter and few other
congenial spirits. They started for the
ring together.
III lay $4,000 on my horse at that
price, Kelly" said Mr.. Lorillard in his
princely fashion, expecting to see Kelly
wilt and refuse to take the wager.
Certainly, Mr.. Lorillard." Then
turning to his sheet writer, Kelly said:
"S25,000 against $4,000, Pierre Loril-
lard" Quickly he turned to the to-
bacco magnate with polite "Much
obliged to you, Mr.. Lorillard very
much obliged. Would you or your
friends care to bet another $4,000 at
the same odds? Should be delighted
to accommodate you"
what a nerve" was all Mr.. Loril-
lard could say as he turned on his heel
and walked away.
Jimmy Kelly won the bet, for Lor-
illard's horse was beaten.-New York

EggsheII FIoyycrpOts.

Eggshells may be used to advantage
in starting delicate plants for trans
planting. The half shells are filed
with earth and set in box also con-
tanning dampened earth. A hole is
made in the point of the shell to allow
drainage. A single seed is then plant
ed in each SHE'LL which is easily broken
when transplanting is done without the
slightest disturbance of roots. This
use of eggshells is the discovery of a
French gardener. who claims that they
are vastly superior to the little pots
generally used for the purpose by for
