The Use Of Limo on Land.

Some of those who have lime to sell
in Ohio are advertising 1t as fertil-
izer, claiming that 1t is "better and
cheaper than phosphate" The Ohio
experiment station would earnestly
warn all farmers against using. lime as
a substitute for manure or fertilizers.
When used as an adjunct to liberal
manuring or fertilIzlng. lime may be
made to perform most important
service, but its use rs substitute for
manure or fertilizer means ruin to tile
soil. Where clover is failing to grow,
the use of Hme is indicated. For this
purpose the common Qulck-lime is all
that is required. A very convenient
form of lime is made in some parts of
the State by grinding quick-lime into a
coarse meal. This can be applied with
the fertilizer dsll or the manure
spreader, using about 1000 pounds per
acre 1t costs $3.50 to $3.50 per ton at
skilns. 1t must not be expected that

rertiIizing the Corn Crop.


The editor of Practical Farmer says:
Many farmers have gotten so accus-
toned to the use of the convenient
commercial fertilizers that they have
come to the conclusion that with every
crop planted 1t Is necessary to use
some complete fertilizer and daily We
get letters from farmers III all parts
of the country asking for formula
for n fertilizer for the corn crop. We
have in years past experimental large
~ in fertilizers for various crops, and
in no instance haze we ever found that
complete fertilizer Of nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash, ever paid Its
cost to the corn crop. Experiments
made during series Of years at the
Ohio Experiment Station have shown
the same results. or course, the appli-
cation of complete commercial fer
tilizer Will increase the crop of corn,
but If the farmer will have test pla.
unfertilized we are certain that he
will find that the increased crop did
not pay the cost of the complete fer.
tiliZer A constant dependence on the
commercial fertilizers simply for the
production of crops for sale is not good
farming. The true office of CONNER
cial fertilizers Is to enable us the bet.
ter to improve our lands through the
growing Of legunas for forage and
thus to increase the amount of the
homemade manure. The corntield Is
the place where the homemade ma
nure can be the most profitably used.
and it should there go broadcast with
manure spIeader. and should have

Middle States and North this will be
red clover. anil in the South. where the
corn follows the cotton crop. 1t should
be crimson clover or vetch sown
among the cotton TIE fall before. Then
the cultivation of the corn crop will
be the best possible preparation Of the
soil for the howing of fall grain. Acid
phosphate and potash on the clover
will make the complete, fertilizer for
the corn more cheaply than the use of

which the nitrogen is the most costly

outlined we get practically free.

NOW SUFFICIENTLY BINDING.
Cubans Object to Perpetuating the
 Platt Amendment.

Havana, Feb. 1.-The news from Wash ington that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee had taken up the Cuban trea- ty, carrying into effect the so-called amendments. with the intention of mak- ing their provisions more binding, caused surprise here, as it is considered that 1t will obviously be difficult to secure the Cuban Senate's approval to an amend ment placing the provisions of the Platt amendment forever beyond the power of change by future Governments.
 The masses of the Cubans considered the Platt amendment irksome and oner- ous, and proposition for their modifica- tion is now the leading feature of the National Party's platform. The proposi' tion to have them further declared per petual would, it is asserted, be unpopu' lar

MAKE PEACE WITH
 YOUR STOMACH.
You Are Certain to Lose if You At tempt the Use of Force and
 Violence.

Yon cannot force your stomach to do work that it is unable and unwilling to do. It has been tired time and time again with always the same result. The stom- ach is q good and faithful servant; but wtcn pushed beyond the limit it rebels Some stomachs will stand much more abuse than others, but every stomach has it's limit: and when that limit is reached
 it is a very dangerous and unwlse pro- cecding to attempt to force u into doing further work. The sensible and reason able course is to employ a substitute to carry on the work of digestion and give the stomach an opportunity to rccuperate and regain it's lost strength.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the only perfect substitute to take up and carry on the work of tired, worn-out stomachs. They are natural and easy in their work and cause nO disturbance in the digestive organs They contain all of the essential elements that make up the gasIic Jalce and other digestive fluids and will digest any food that q strong, healthy stomach will. and do 1t in the same time and in inc same way They work independently of surrounding conditions and the faCt that the stomach is weak or diseased does not inhuenrc ;hem at all in thc!r useful and effective work. They will digest food just as well in q glass jar or bottle as they will in a stomach. You can see that for yourself hy putting one of them into a jar with a square meal and some water to enable it 10 work.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets by thus re- lieving the stomach of it's work ena oles that organ to rest and recuperate and rc- gain it's health and strength The pro- cess Is perfectly natural and plain Nd ture will heal the stomach just as she heals a wound or a broken limb, ii sire s not inteTfercd with and is permitted to do her work in her own way. All in- reference is prevented by Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by druggists everywhere at 30 cents d box and if you arc afflicted with dyspep- sa, one box will make you feel fifty times better. You will forget you have d stoni- ach and rejoice in the forfgetfulness. No druggist will be so shoFtsighted as to try to get along without Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, for they are 50 popular and are so well known for the good they have done and the happiness they have caused that any druggist caught without them would lose the confidence of his customers and be regarded as below the standard His business would suffer as q result ana his patrons would go to other stores and buy their other drugs there as well as their Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. wcdfrl-su

|OIL CASE SUBMITTED
APPEALED FROM DECISION OF
 JUDGE SAYRE.
Involves the Validity of Tag Tax Law Enacted by Legislature
 An Early Opinion is Expected,

The test case of the oil tag tax law, passed by the last Legislature was sub mitted to the Supreme Court of Ala bama yesterday, on an appeal from the
 The constitutionality of the law is in- volyed In a suit brought against the Standard Oil Company, to enforce pay ment of the tax provided in the act.
 In the presentation of the case to the Supreme Court yesterday. the State was Wilson and a Montgomery law firm.
 An early decision by the court of the case Is looked for.
 The law has an important bearing upon the revenues of the State. If 1t is de- clared constitutional it will mean an ad- dition of between $25.000 and $i0,OO0 a year to the States revenues. This income will como from the half a cent tax placed on every gallon of oil sold in the State. The Standard oil Company alone sells 5,0O0, 900 gallons of oil annually in Alabama and there are two or three independent com panies doing business in the State.
 The law provides that every gallon of oil sold in the State must first have been tested by the State Chemist at Auburn. For this inspection fee of one half q cent a gallon is charged. The law has a penalty provision which directs the criminal prosecution of any person, firm or corporation which fails to meet the requirements of the law.
 None of the oil companies doing busi- ness in Alabama obeyed the law. A test case was decided upon under the penalty provision of the law. By agreement o. E. Ament the Montgomery agent of the Standard Oil Company was made the de- fendant in the test case. The defendant claimed that the law was unconstitutional. This claim was based on the contention that the law was enacted under the police powers of the State and that the charges, so assessed, were eXorbitant and out of proportion to the service rendered.
 In the first consideration of the case, which was had before Judge J. B. Gas ton of the County Court. the law was de- clared to be unconstitutional. An appeal Having been taken to the City Court, Jkdge A. D. Sayre held that the law was constitutional.
 Now the Supreme Court is called upon to sit in judgment upon it.

 Montromery Negro,

montgomery NcSAU'
 The Supreme Court of Alabama yester- day renewed the death sentence passed on Robert Stone, a negro, now in the Jefferson County jail convicted of mur- der.
 The Supreme Court affirmed the action of the lower court in the trial of Stone. The date of Stones execution as fixed by the lower court has passed. In affirming the lower courts action. the Supreme Court named March 25 as the date on which Stone shall pay the penalty of his crime.
 Stone was Montgomery convict at the time his crime was committed. He was serving out a sentence for larceny and the victim Of his crime was a fellow con vict named William Henry Thomas. Stone killed his fellow convict in a coal mine where both of them were working.
 Another convict named Little was in dicted with Stone as an accessory to the murder.
 One of the grounds upon which appeal was based was the claim that the indict- ment did not state that Stone was a con Yict.

 Tho fire department answered two alarms yesterday afternoon from the same place, an outhouse in the back yard of c. A. Lanier, 3O3 South Perry St eet
 The drst alarm was sent in by telephone at 4:55 o'clock and the entire department responded The cause of alarm was found to be a smoking fiue. A small hole was cut into the roof by tho tiremen in ortcr to get at the fire but otherwise there was no damage.
 At 6:6 o'clock the department was called again to the place on q telephone alarm. A small blaze was found on the roof of the building which had originated from falling sparks from a chimney. The blaze was quickly extinguished with the aid of babcOcks and the damage was trivial.
 The alarms came just a the time when the downtown streets were crowded with people and created some excitement
