T. d. H., Kimball. Kansas, writes:
II notice in Mr.. Wings accounts Of

Is it not . fact that such localities -
Belle Meade, the bluegrass regions Of
Kentucky and others like those where
limerick is conspicuously in evidence,
and therefore strong limestone soil

where that life comes from life; that
is, the imestones are the deposits of
myriad lives that have gone before.
In the limestone of Tennessee, Ken

also . deposit of phosphate rock.
This is q distillation of the nerve
force of prehistoric life. This phos-
phatic rock feeds the soil and plants,
builds the superb thoroughbred; the
lime in the soil makes the big-framed
man and animal. The phorphorus
makes the nerve, the brain, the will
and the desire. There are two rea-
sons for the excellence of human and
animal life in these limestone regions.
Ono is the superior nutrition, the
other that superior men and animals
gather there and crowd out the weak
ings.

plenty of lime and phossphoric acid
