Successful-six and One-Half Miles

Chickamauga Park, Ga. ay31.-The
United States Government has here
in operation one of the largest acety-
lene gas plants in the world. The mil
torical Chickamauga battlefield. where
thirty thousand Union and Confederate
soldiers We're lost in the memorable
battle of September 10 and 20. 1868,
contains about one hundred buildings.
the seventy-five principal mes of which
are lighted with a~cetylene. To accom-
plish this six and one-half miles of
mains and two miles of service pipes
are in use, While sixty-five street lamps
brilliantly illuminate the of
the post.
In 1908 the War Department in
stalled a test acetylene plant at Fort
Meyer, Virginia. The results were SO
gratifying and the superiority of the
illuminant so evident that the Govern
ment. March 20, 1904, placed the con-
tract for the Chickamausa plant. in
which every citizen of the United States
should have his pro rata of pride.
But the Government has not confined
it's acceptance of a~cetylene to this mill
tary post. Since becoming satisfied of
the efficiency, superiority and econom-
ical advantages of this particular il
luminant, the United States has in
stalled a number of plants in Indian
schools and other Government insti-
tutions.
Acetylene gas is one of the simplest
as we'll as the most perfect Of artificial
lights. 1t is made by the contact of
water and carbide "a manufactured

white light soothing to the eyes and
nerves. 1t can be produced anywhere
in the farm home, the village store,
the town hall, the ch%urch-and is so
easily maintained as to be practical for
all classes.
1t is Il matter for national congratu-
lation that in identifying SO historic
a spot as Chickamauga, nothing but the
best, including the lighting system, has
been deemed good enough for the
American people.

SOUTHERN FARM NOTES,
1-=n @q=-p.
TOPICS Of INTEREST TO THE PLANTER, s7ocxMAN AND TRUCK GROWER,

AS to the amount that should be paid
for wood ashes, it is only necessary to
state that potash can be bought in
the form of muriate at about AZ to 5
cents per pound for available plant
food. Therefore 100 pounds of wood
ashes are not worth more than thirty
five cents at the outside. If they can
be bought at 10 to % cents they can
be used to advantage as a fertilizer.
1t is for these reasons that in previous
communications relative to Irish pota-
toes the use of sulphate of potash has
been suggested, because it provides
plant food in a more concentrated
form and also is better suited to the
production of an Irish potato of high
cooking quality. There is no objec-
ton to using wood ashes for potatoes.
The objection to kainit is not serious,
and any of these forms of potassic
fertilizers can be used to advantage
in the production of general garden
crops.-Andrew w. Souie.

T%estifying before the Senate Com
mittee at Washington, Interstate Com
,merce Commissioner Prouty said in
discussing. the proposition 10 give that
commission the power to regulate rail
way rates:
81 think the railways should make
their own rates. l think they should
be allowed to develop their w bust
ness. l have never advocated any
law, and l am not now in favor of any
law. which would put the cate making
power into the hands of any commits
sion or any court. While it may be
necessary to do that some time, while
that is done in some States at the
present time, while it is done in some
countries, l am opposed to it. The
railway rate is property. 1t is all the
property that the railway has got. The
rest of its property is not good for
anything unless it can charge a rate.
Now it has always seemed to me that
when a rate was fixed, if that rate was
an unreasonable rate, it deprives the
railroad company of its property pro
tanto. 1t is not necessary that you
should confiscate the property OF a
railroad; it is not necessary that you
should say that it shall moi earn three
per cent. or four per cent. When you
put in a rate that is inherently IN
reasonable, you have deprived that
company of its rights, of its property.
and the Circuit Court of the United
States has jurisdiction under the four
teenth amendment to restrain that. l
have looked at these cases a great
many times, and I can only come to the
conclusion that a railroad company is
entitled to charge a fair and reasonable
rate, and if any order of a commission,
if any statute of a State Legislature,
takes away that rate, the fourteenth
amendment protects the railway COM
pany."

Preparing Land For Alfalfa.

J. X, Farmville, writes: Il have
read and heard much about alfalfa,
but have never seen any, as there is
none raised here. I want to try it, and
would like some information as to how
to prepare the land, and when is the
best time to SOW? Also where can the
material be obtained for inoculating
the land? Does the soil have to be in
oculated for cowpeas"
Land for alfalfa should be very care
fully. prepared. 1t is we'll to start a
year in advance to get the land ready,
and unless it is naturally very deep and
porous it should be subsoiled. and SUBJ
year. 1t is also we'll to enrich the land
by growing a crop of cOWpeas and
blowing them down before seeding to
alfalfa. The seeding may be done APP
propriately about the first of Septem-
Der; not later thar this. or the alfalfa
will not make a strong enough growth
to withstand the freezes of winter.
Spring seeding may be practiced about
the first to the fifteenth of March, de-
pending a good deal on climatic con-
ditions. 1t is generally best to wait
until danger of hard freezing is past.
It is we'll to %inoculate your alfalfa be-
fore seeding. This may be done by
obtaining some of the culture put up
by the experiment station and sent at
4 very small cost to the farmers of the
State upon application. AS a rule, it
is not necessary to inoculate land in
Tennessee for cowpeas or red clover.
Sometimes soy beans do much better
when %inoculated, and the station hopes
to be in position to furnish the farmers
of the State with the necessary germs
for inoculating soy beans.-knoXville

Train Too Fast for Coyotes.

The recent chase of a wolf by a
train on the Cheyenne & Northern
railroad north of Cheyenne was dis
counted near here when engine 1857,
hauling a special fast freight, ran
down and killed two coyotes. The an
imals were trotting along on the track
over a section of the country that was
deep in snow. At the approach of the
train the coyotes attempted to jump
from the track but the high banks OF
snow prevented this, SO they tried to
run away from the iron horse. For
over six miles the race continued be-
fore the coyotes were run down and
killed.-Denver Republican.

-Four things are required to make a
good lawn: Time, soil, climate and in
ten1gent labor. In England they have
a saying that it requires 100 years to
good lawn. In this country, where we
are trying to make suburban homes
while you wait, and where a month Or
two seems a very long time, people are
too impatient. 1t speaks we'll for their
ambition that they want lawns as o o
as they nov into their houses, but
they are really exacting too much. At
the very best, it requires no less than
three years to make a presentable lawn,
and five or ten years to make what we
uncritical Americans call a good lawn.

Value of Lime For Corn.

W. 3. G., Charlottesville, Va. writes:
Please tell me how to test land to see
if lime is needed. Do you think lime
would benefit land for corn?
1t is an easy matter to test land so
rs to tell whether it is acid or not.
Purchase from your nearest drug store
a package Of blue iitimus paper which
you should be able to get for five
cents. Take a handful Of the soil to
be tested and moisten With rainwater
in q tin cup and insert a strip of the
litimus paper. If it turns red quickly
it is an evidence that your land is quite
acid; if it turns red slowly, that it is
only slightly acid. In either case
lime should be applied. If it is very
acid q heavy application would be adj
visable, say fifty bushels, applied in
the caustic form. Purchase it when
freshly burned and distribute in heaps
in the field at suitable distances and
owe lightly with earth and allow to
slake. When thoroughly slaked, scat
ter it over the surface of the ground
uniformly and incorporate with a har-
TOW. Lime is not a fertilizer but is a
stimulant and q corrective of certain
Objectionable conditions in the soil. 1t
also sets free plant food which is held
in unavailable forms, and may there
fore iniure the land if used to excess.
An application Of lime once in three
to five years is ample as 4 rule. Land
intended for corn will be benefited by
an application of lime. The test indi-
Gated is very easily made and it will
pay you to ascertain whether your
soil is acid or not, and if it is, to make
an application Of lime.
