Yield Of All Crops Much
Increased.

A renewed interest in the use of
lime on the soil has been excited by
the experiments of the Rhode Island
Experiment Station, at Kingston, in
which large increase of certain crops
was produced by lining the soil, says
Chas. II. Thorne, director Of the Ohio
Agricultural Experiment Station.
While the Ohio Experiment Station
was located on a gravelly, clay loan
at Columbus, experiments in lining
were made, but with negative results.
This work has recently been under
taken again on the lighter, more sandy
clay of the soil on which the Station
is now located, at Wooster. and al
though it has not yet gone far enough
to justify positive statements, the
present indications are such as to en-.
courage more extended trial.
In one case half acre of land on
which wheat is being grown year after
year was treated with thousand
pounds Of lime, freshly slaked and ap-
piled broadcast just before sowing the
wheat. The crop Immediately follow
ing showed but little effect from the
lime: but the second crop, just har-
vested, shows an increase of about six
bushels per acre for the lined portion
over the unlimed half acre adjoin-
ing.
In another case, half of tract of
three acres was lined in the spring Of
1900 and planted in corn. There was
an apparent increase in the corn crop
for the lined part of this tract over
that left without line and in the oats
crop, following the corn, there has been
further increase of over nine bush
els per acre.
In third case part of block of
alfalfa was sown on lined soil, and
part on unlimed, with the result that
the lined portion made by far the
more vigorous growth.
One method Of applying lime Is tc
piled with the ordinary fertilizer drill
land which has been plowed and har
rowed, slack by wetting and covering
with earth, then mix thoroughly will
loose earth and spread with the shovel
Piles OF peck each, a rod apart, will
give forty bushels, or $500 pounds pc
acre, which would be considered :
moderate dressing.
Stacked lime cannot be easily ap
piled with the ordinary fertilizer drill
but unslacked lime, ground to coars,
meal, is now on the market, and ma.
he successfully applied in this manner
The use of lime should always be fol
lowed by liberal manuring or fertiliz
ing, otherwise it's use will tend to ex
haust the soil; but lime should neve
be mixed with manure, nor with othe
fertilizers, especially those containing
ammonia, as 1t will lberate the latte
and cause its escape. 1t should be ap
piled as long as possible before tn
crop is planted, and is likely to be es
pecially beneficial to cover, timoth.
and other grasses.

The self-same air for me you play,
For do not think, and so do you,
1t is the tune to travel to.
For who would gravely set his face
To go to this or t'other place?
There's nothing under heav'n so blue
That's fairly worth the travelling to-
On every hand the roads begin,
And people walk with zeal therein.
But wheresoe're the highways tend
Be sure there's nothing at the end.
Then follow you wherever HE
The travelling mountains of the sky
Or let the streams in civil mode
Direct your choice upon a road;
For one and all, or high or low,
VIII lead you where you wish to go;
And one and all go night and day
Over the hills and far away!

ophy. He has, however. resigned bis
position and the marriage was agreed
upon in view of his contemplated de-
parture for the east.

RULES FOR CUP RACES.
International Yacht Events to Be De-
dicated Aug. 30 to "a

o1caEeo aug. ~ Co Il
New York. March 2.-The New York
Yacht club has made public the text of
the rules which have been adopted, with
the consent of the Royal Ulster Yacht
club, to govern the international races
next summer between the defender of
the Americas cup and Sir Thomas Lip
toms new challenger The rules are in
the main similar to those Of former
years.
The match is to be decided out Of the
best three out Of five races, starting from
Sandy Hook nghtship. The first, third
and fifth races will be over straight
courses, to windward or leeward and re-
turn. The course for the second and
fourth will be an equilateral triangle.
The courses are to be as near as posi-
Bile to thirty nautical miles in length
The races shall be sailed on August 20,
% and "a, 1901, and on the following Tues
day and Thursday If necessary
The Irish club suggested a flying start
without any time allowance, which, they
wrote had worked well on that side of
the water, but the New York Yacht club
did not act favorably on the idea.
The accident clause this year is as
follows:
I'm case a serious accident occurs to
either vessel prior to the preparatory
signal she shall have sufficient time to
effect repairs before being required to
start, or if such accident occurs during
a race before being required to start in
the next race.
Each yacht shall stand by the conse-
quence of any accident happening to her
after the preparatory slgnal, and on the the
occurrence of any such accident dis
abIing either vessel the other vessel shall
sail out the race
From the above outline it will be seen
that the principal innovation is that set
ting the time for the races earlier than
heretofore

A FLOOD OF COLD.
A Harvard Professor Makes a
Startling Prediction.
Yellow Metal Will Be Quad
rupled in a Few Years.

Cambridge, Mass, March Eff the
price of gold goes down, another metal
must be looked for as a token Of inter-
national value. I think this metal will
be silver, because silver is not found
in alluvial plains and because, owing
to the difficulty in mining, it will never
change in value
This statement was made by Prof. H.
S. Shaler, Harvard's geo1ogist. in a lee
ture to six hundred students in Sanders
theater. He predicted that within the
next thirty years there would be an in
flux of gold such as the world has never
known. Prof. ShaIer bases his state
Tnent on geological conditions, combined
with recent improvements in mining ap-
paratus. He said in part: Within the
past few years men nave come 10 re-
alize that a large portion Of the earth'S
surface is charged with gold. Cold IS
indissOluble and when gravel banks are
cut away it is not easily carried off by
streams to the sea as is the case with
other metals. Instead it is carried
along, broken up into finer and finer
fra gments and gradually deposited over
alluvial plains.
THE new systems of mining which
have recently been discovered will have
produced by the middle of the present
century an almost 1ntOlerabte supply OF
gold. I cannot say definitely what the
increase will be, but 1 think at the least
that the present supply viii be quad
rupled- On the continent Of America
alone 7 have estimated that the amount
of gold to be won from gravel within
the next hundred years viii be worth
thirty billion dollars
up to the present time men have been
greatly handicapped in searching for
gold by the fact that it was scattered 50
thinIy through the earth. They have
been able to find any amount of gravel
paying from 10 to 80 cents to the cubic
yard, but the expense Of dredging has
always been so great that they have
been unable to extract it with profit.
Nov however. the machinery of the
dredgers has been greatly improved.
Within the past three years dredgeS
have been operated in Russia. and in the
United States, especially in LeadviIle.
Col, which have proved beyond queS-
ton that al1uviaI soil can be proftably
worked for gold
I'm the United States there are from
5000 to s, 900 square miles which will give
miners employment and which can be
accurately depended upon for producing
RIGA and Australia. will flood the market
and if the value of gold remains tle
same, the quantity will increase ten fold
by the middle of the century.
sssETl1e production may be limited how
ever, by a simultaneous rise in the price
of labor and by the fact that the mines
in South Africa and in other places
where the solid rock ped is worked can
not be operated by reason OF the IN
vast influx and what it's effect will be
cannot be estimated. 1t may play havoc
with commerce but to my mind it is
more likely to bring about the long-look-
ed for golden age, an age of peace, pros
perity and hope.
