Lime as Acid Neutrallz.r.

The use Of lime on land has not
been largely encouraged by scientists
In the past, though 1t has been used to
a considerable extent in isolated local..
ties. 1t was at first considered from
the standpoint Of plant food, and as
such Of course could not receive
very enthusiastic support from men
that had found out by various tests
that there was already in the soil more
lime than the plants could use. But
when the soils Of the various states
came to be examined for acid It was
found that many Of them were so
strongly acid that some Of our most
important plants would not grow on
them satisfactorily. In the soil sur.
veys carried on during the past three
years in Illinois It has been found that
one.third of the soils Of the state are
so strongly acid that they will not
grow red clover and other legumes
successfully until treated with lime.
or the other two-thirds Of the state,
some Of the soils are slightly acid and
would be improved by an application
Of lime.

Destruction of Weeds.

Much interest has been shown at a
number of the agricultural experiment
stations in the possibility of weed de.
struction by means of chemicals. AS
long ago as 1895 1t was found at the
Vermont Station that the orange
hawkweed, a serious pest In pastures
and meadows, could be destroyed
without injury to the grass by sowing
salt over the land at the rate of 5000
pounds per acre. Many experiments
have since been conducted at the
same station with other chemicals for
the eradication Of weeds in walks,
drives, courts, etc. Among the chemi
Gals tested were salt, copper sulphate
kerosene, liver-of-sulphur, carbolic
acid, arsenic and salsoda, arsenate of
soda, and two commercial weed kill
ers, the active principle Of which ap.
parently was arsenic. The weeds
which 1t was sought to destroy were
plantains, dandelion, chicory, rag.
weed, knotweed and various grasses
All the chemicals were applied in so.
luton except the salt. AS in the case
Of the hawkweed experiments, salt
was found efficient in destroying all
the weeds when applied dry and in
large quantity. When salt is used for
this purpose adjacent lawns should be
protected against washing, or they
may be injured. Crude carbolic acid

the rate of gallons per square rod,
was very efficient The various ar.
senlcal preparations proved valuable
as weed destroyers, and choice be.
tween them was largely a matter of
expense. All things considered, the
arsenate Of soda and the carbolic acid
solutions proved the most valuable
chemicals for weed destruction under
the conditions of these experiments.

shown this season is simply bewilder.

For general wear the Irish embroid.

obtained about the stock yards and

Of scattered grain, but since this was
not salable and much Of 1t would 9TH

not be reckoned here.
During the week specified I gath
cred nine and one-half dozens Of
eggs, which sold for $1.71, or 8 cents
more than the value of what the flock
consumed. Although this was quite a
falling off from the number of eggs
usually produced lowing, no doubt, to
a protracted cold spell for a time
previously 1t was still in excess OF
what it cost to maintain the flock for
the same time. From the above in
vestigations and consequent estimates
I have drawn this conclusion: That
from twelve to fifteen eggs daily the
year round will maintain farm flock
of from $50 to 200 hens; all above this
should represent the profit obtained.
Actually, l believed that the average
farmers family consumes eggs and
poultry enough to compensate for the
cost OF keeping their flock, and that
all that is sold usually represents no
more than the real profit accruing
from the investment.

Swine at Ontario Station.

A report Of the Ontario station
says: Our swine comprise representa-.
tives OF the Yorkshire, Tamworth and
Berkshire breeds. This is quite as
many breeds as we can handle to ad-
vantage. Representatives of the
Chester White, Duroc Jersey and Pc.
land China breeds have been fed in
the experimental piggery.
Feeding Swine.-Brseding sows are
fed sparingly on mixed meal ration
consisting generally of ground oats,
barley and peas, the oats constituting
about half the mixture. In addition,
they receive fairly liberal allowance
Of pulped roots, which is decreased as
narrowing time approaches. Before
feeding, they are given drink of wa.
ter, and then the meal is fed on top of
the pulped roots. Sometimes the meal
and pulped roots are mixed q day in
advance Of feeding, but either plan
seems to work well. Growing pigs,
four months old and over, receive the
same meal mixture as the sows, but
in the place of roots, they are fed the
refuse from the college kitchen. The
meal is fed dry to these also. Small
pigs are fed about equal parts of fine.
ly ground oats and middllngs, together
with skim milk when such is avail.
