Attorney B. F. Peek and C. I. Jo-
sephson battled clear across the state
of Nebraska few days ago with sher-
ifs, deputies and game wardens, in
tent on effecting their arrest and con-
viction on the charge of violating the
game laws of Nebraska. They fought
their way out of one corner only to
find themselves in another, eluding
the austere presence of one officer to
encounter the outsertched arms of an
other till at last they reached neutral
ground and safety amid the waving
cornfields of Iowa and the heights of
Council Bluffs.

Small Farms Pay Best.

Large farms are not the ones that
pay best. A farm of IS acres that pro-
duces 60 bushels of corn per acre will
give a profit, when a farm of so acres,
producing only 30 bushels per acre, is
operated at loss; yet the total guam
tity of corn is the same for both farms.
The reason the smaller farm may pay
is that less labor in proportion to yield
is required. The larger farm will de-
mand twice as much blowing, cultivat-
ing and narrowing as the smaller one,
and the expense of hauling and spread
ing the manure, harvesting the crop,
etc., is much greater.

SCATTERING CLOUDS.

American Rainmakers' Plan Used to
Prevent Storms.
Possibly it was from noticing the un-
successful attempts made by the would
be rainmakers in the United States to
bring down showers when wanted that
an ingenious Austrian grape grower
was. induced to exactly reverse the
American practice. An account of his
experiment is reported by United
States Consul Stephan at Annaberg.
The Austrian owned extensive vine.
wards situated on the southern slopes
of the mountains, in a locality often
visited by destructive hailstorms. At
first he tried galvanized Wire, and he
decided to install a battery and test the
plan OF. causing explosions to drive off
the hailstorms. He erected six stations
on prominent mountain SUBMITS COM
manding a territory about two miles
in extent. Each station sheltered ten
mortars and corps of volunteers
handled them. The practical test is
thus described:
Threatening black clouds made their
appearance on the SUBMITS of the
Bacher mountains. At a given signal
all the mortars were fired off and the
continuous detonations in a few mo-
ments caused sudden reaction in the
movements of the clouds. The cloud
wall opened up funnel-like; the mouth
of the funnel began to rise in the form
of consecutive rings, expanding gradu-
ally until all the clouds scattered and
entirely disappeared. No hail nor sud-
don downnour of rain fell The same
experience was gone through six times
last summer, and without single ex-
eeption proved successful preventive.

LIME ON THE FARM.
It's Eject on the Soil Should Be
Studied More Closely.

It's Eject on the Soil Should Be
Studied More Closely.
Lime is much used, and very often
at the same time, much abused ma
terial on the farm. It has d very i'm
portant role to play, and, if handled
in the proper manner, is valuable aid
to the farmer. There aresmany who
use this material again and again
with a mistaken notion as to it's true
functions in the soil. In time, how
ever, their experience teaches them the
true place of lime in agriculture, but
often their lands have been almost
exhausted before they gain their wis
dom. While lime has a value as a
plant food, yet it's greatest worth on
the farm is due to it's physical effect
that soil does not contain sufficient
quantity of lime to furnish this ingre-
dent as plant food pure and simple.
Briefly described, the actions of lime
are as follows: If applied on sandy
soil it fills up the openings, makes the
particles adhere closer, causes them
to retain moisture better, to absorb
less heat during the day and to retain
more at night. On clay soils it sepa-
rates the particles, making the soil
more porous, thus easier or the pas
sage of water and air, and therefore
makes the soil warmer and easier to
work. Lime also hastens the decay of
vegetable matter in the soil, which of
course renders the nitrogen more avail
able. If q soil is sour, an application
of lime will sweeten it. If a green
crop is plowed under, an application of
lime will prevent the soil from becom-
ing acid. There is one effect of lime
that has no doubt frequently been no
ticed, although wrong conclusions have
been drawn from it. It has often been
experienced that an application of
lime proves very beneficial to clovers of
all kinds. It was formerly thought
that the lime itself was the only fer
tilizer needed for the clover; it il now
known, however, that the beneficial ac-
ton of the lime upon clover is due to
the fact that the lime tiberates other
plant food in the soil, notably potash,
which is of so much Importance in sue
cessful clover culture. It will be seen,
however, that the continued applica-
ton of lime along would soon cause the
soil to become exhausted of its natu-
raj supply, not only of potash, but also
of phosphoric acid, and in time the
land would become clover sick, which is
a condition often met with.-Farmers'
Review.
