Piano Recital.

The music loving people Of Farm

Mr.. John II. Powell, and the demand
for seats at the Opera House will be
great. They will be put on sale at

OF Mr.. Powell the Richmond Times
Dispatch recently said:
The piano recital given by Mr.. John
III. Powell in the audience hall Of the
WOman's Club last Friday evening
was the greatest success ofthe musical
season i'm Richmond.
The programme was presented to a
large audience that included i'm its
members many Of the best musicians
in the city, who probably were capa-
bic, through their musical education
and their acquaintance with Mr.. Pow
ell, to estimate fully and justly his ex-
quisite Interpretation Of the evenings
programme. Among one Of the most
deeply interested persons at the recital
was Professor Fred G. Hair, who di-
rected Mr.. Powels musical education
until he went TO Vienna, a few years
ago, to become pupil Of Leschetisky,
who has made worldwide reputa-
ton.
The critic who could have failed TO
be pleased with Mr.. Powells delicacy
of touch, the purity Of his notes and
his superb execution, would have
shown an ignorance Of what is finest
and best in musical rendition. Such
a recital as he gave last Friday even
ing is credit to his early and maturer
and brilliantand conclusive
proof of his powers as rarely talent
ed and cultured pianist

clerks office looked as fresh and fair
as a maiden in her Easter suit, while
about them has been erected an artis-
tic fence, and this is protected from
reckless lintruden by an outer enclos-
ure to which horses may be hitched,
and upon which loafers may lean.

Some Facts About Lime

Lime has a great affinity for water
A bushel Of unslaked lime increases
by one-half when thoroughly slaked.
Lime should therefore be purchased
in the caustic form for there is no use
paying freight on water. Air-slaked
lime Is not active and Of little use ex-
cept soils deficient in this element.
Caustlc or biting lime is vay active,
binding the fine particles Of clay soils
together and making them porous and
breaking down vegetable matter. Caus-
tic lime tends to form a hardpan in
sandy soils and so prevents teaching,
and it sets free potash and other ele-
ments i'm the soil which are held in
unavailable forms, and therefore not
useful as plant food. Lime corrects
acidity and renders possible the growth
Of certain crops and enables many use
ful forms Of bacteria TO perform their
functions.
Lime is not a fertilizer as many sup
pose, but rather a corrective of certain
undesirable conditions in the soil and
a plant stimulant. Applied in moder-
ate amounts, at the rate of from % to
80 bushels per acre once in 3 to 5years,
il will prove useful on most Of our
farms. Place the lime i'm heaps Of !
or bushels at convenient distances in
the field. Cover with earth and allow |
to thoroughly slake and then distri-
but uniformly over the land. If used |
Unfortunately and in too large quaint |
tiles, il will exhaust the soil and i'm |
the end be curse. Lime to be applied /
profitable should not cost more than )
to 10 cents per bushel. The so-called /
agricultural lime offered for sale at
$1,000 to $500 per ton is the fresh
burned lime, ground and put up in
bags to prevent shaking. 1t is too cost
ly for farmer to use at that price.
The need of lime in the soil can be
determined by testing it with sheet
Of blue litmus paper which can be OBJ
tanned from any drug store at a cost of
) cents. Put handful Of the soil in a
tin cup, moisten with rainwater and
insert the paper. Ifitquickly changes
to a red color the soil Is acid and will
be greatly benefited by an applica-
ton of lime.

From Far OFF Hawaii.

Under date March 3rd CONS a very
interesting letter from one Of our
young ladies who is i'm Hawaii She
is also a Normal graduate.
AT last I've seen the volcano. Last
Friday at lunch time we heard reports
that it was active. About o'clock
a friend called by to know if l would
like TO go TO see it. 1 closed my
school, hurried home TO get another
friend and packed our grips. We
reached the Volcano House by seven,
had our dinner and were of by a lit
tie after eight We were on horses,
and / will tell you what, it seemed
very ticklish business. The trail in
some parts was so narrow you could
see right over the edge. The horses
though were very sure footed and
knew the trail perfectly. The volcano
house is just on the edge of the old
crater which is eleven miles in circum-
ferance and about nine hundred feet
deep. Ofcourse the sides have caved
some and become over grown, and
it was down this that our trails led to
the floor Of the old pit The trail ac-
cross the lava is marked by a row of
stones. After going for about two
miles across this we came TO a pen
like affair made of stones piled high.
Here we tied our horses and walked
on, some times over cracks i'm the lava
so hot you could smell your shoes
searching. Then we came to the lit
Tie crater Hale Man Man. 1t is the
same one that was active i'm 1903. This
smaller crater is i'm the middle almost
OF the larger crater. Its walls are 700
feet deep. Down these was where the
fire works went on.
There would be great rumbling and
explosion. And a stream Of lava and
hot rock would be thrown up for go or
20 feet. We stayed until after eleven.
The next day went down again to get
pictures.
