WHEN TO LIME THE SOIL.

the directions are given in this department
again. Buy from the druggist Decent
strip of blue litmus paper and cut it into
strips an inch wide and inches long. for
convenience. Moisten with water the soil
to be tested and let it partially dry out
then with a trowel spade make am
inciSion Ill the soil sufficiently deep to
take in the strip of blue litmus paper. BE
careful that the end held in the fingers is
not moistened. Insert the strip Of paper
in the soil for about = inches. then press
the soil close about the paper and permit
il TO remain for an hour. Pull the paper
carefully so not to tear it and rinse
the soil off of it in clear water. II the blue
paper has a decided red cast it may be
safely decided that the soil is acid and
that lime will be beneficial This is a
simple but reliable st and there is no
excuse for any farmers guessing that his
soil needs or does not need lime. How
much lime the soil needs will depend upon
several things, chiefly ones pocketbook.

TORPID LIVER IN COWS,

in their efforts they abuse the tender stom-

harm in small quantities unless the new

to become loose, in which case cut off

About the Proposed New 500 Line

About the Proposed New 500 Line
From what we can learn from
various sources there is but very
little doubt but the 500 railroad
will be built from Thief River
Falls, Minnesota, to some point
in Western North Dakota the
coming summer. But wether it
will build SO as to strike Lans-
ford, Russell and Kenmare is a
question. The officials OF the
road have apparently done no.
thing definite this side of Omemee
and they may go upinto Canada
on the other side Of the Mouse as
to go any place else. Right-of-
way men for the 500 have been
at Lansford but have not made
any purchases yet. Engineers
for the road are at work on a
new survey south Of Mohall and
west to Fiaxton, the claim being
made that Kenmare is very diff
cult OF access on account Of the
hills surrounding the town. Also
there is talk OF the road building
up into Canada, crossing the
Bottineau branch Of the Great
Northern near Westhope. The
only thing that seems certain at
this time is that theroad will be
built-but whether twill bullion
this side OF Omemee is adoubtful
question.
The Great Northern is reported
as buying right-of-way north
from Denbig'.. However this ru-
NOR cannot be substantiated.
The farmers near Lansford are
said to be asking fancy prices for
their land. 1t is reported some
want $50 an acre which the
owners say is very cheap consid-
ering the real worth OF the land
and the damage done the farm
by being cut,up with Il railrod.
