Road Levy Stands.

Tho meeting of the Board of
cnreryisors last Saturday was pro-
1.,c,;ve of considerable action of
;n,erest In regard To the road
law in Chapel district, which was
clsimed by one of the CoURIER's
correspondents to have been illegal,
,be following resolution regarding
,be road levy Of the different dis
tricts was passed, after a resolution
had been passed abolishing the acts
of 1851.
Resolved, That the district road
levies made at the January meet
mo be rescinded, and that the same
leyies be made in said districts as
made at the January meeting.
To make this action perfectly
nlain 10 our readers, it must be I'M
derstood that the County Court
held the right to amend or revise
the Special Road Law, in so far as
i applied to Clarke county. The
County Court having been abolish
ed. all rights of the County Court
in this respect have now been turn
ed over to the Board of Superyi-
sors. and it is under this authority
that the Board was acting.
The road levy in Chapel district
will stand at 20 cents on every 500
on valuation.
Technically speaking the Super
visors were in error at the January
meeting when the levy was made,
but the action of last Saturday has
legalized the levy, and there will
be no further trouble.
The Board decided to move the
dollhouse at the Castleman's Ferry
bridge, as it has been found incon-
veniently located.
4 committee was appointed TO
have ratings erected on the earth
en- approaches at both Bridges.
4 number of claims were paid
and expenditures authorized.
After transacting other business
Of minor interest, the Board adj

The April Smart Set.

In the novelette, which opens the
April Smart Set, Grace MacGowan
Cooke has struck an entirely new
note in fiction. 1t is story of the
West, so saturated with the atmos-
phere Of that part of our country
and so Photographic in its depic-
tion of ranch life that It will take
high rank among the bost tales of
that class: vet it is more as a char
acter study that THE Red-Headed
Woman will win praise. The
heroine Is the most original, the
most human, the most refreshing
woman who for a long time has
stepped from a printed page.
There Is no reader who will not be
fascinated by her vagaries and in
terested in her remarkable career.
The short stories I'm this number
cover a wide field. First of all.
there is a wonderfully graphic tale
by new writer. Julia Lawrence
Shaftcr, which she has called A
Reaist." In it. with conSummate
art, she analyses the intricate char
acter of a forlorn criminal who has
become a subject Of interest for a
novelist in search of copy" This
story alone would make any maya
zine worth while. but there are
other excellent tales. notably by
William II. Lighton. who tells how
a dead love was treasured in The
Shadow Of 4 Shadow" by Mrs.
Henry Dudeney, who writes a
powerful English story of 1S3S in
The Swift Ships; by Arthur
Stringer, who goes TO the Canadian
frontier for the scene of In the
Dusk of the Goddess" by Guy
Bolton, whose wit sparkles in
The Sign Painter" by Inez
Haynes Gilmore, who contributes
a delightful love story. The Gods
of Hunger, and by II. q. Dwight.
who writes charming story en-
titled "Susannah and the Elder"
Bliss Carman has contributed an
essay TO this number. ION Having
known a Painter. wherein he
again reveals himself as writer of
exquisite prose.
The poetry Is far above the
average of magazine verse. and is
written by such favorite authors
as Edith VI. Thomas. Clarence
Urmy,Zona Gale, Madison Cawein.
Arthur Dawson Ficke, Mamie
Byrd Turner and Gouverneur
Morris, the latter supplying an
other instalment of his inimitable
verses, Below Stairs.
The April Smart Set maintains
Its own high standard of excellence.
and is remarkable for the note of
variety which it strikes.

Some Facts About Lime.

Lime has a great affinity for
water. \ bushel of unslaked lime
increases by One-haIf when thor
oughly slaked. Lime should there
fore 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 on soils deficient in this ele-
ment. Caustic or biting lime i
very active, binding the fine par
ticles of clay soils together and
making them porous and breaking
down vegetable matter. Caustic
lime tends 10 form a hardpan in
sandy soils and so prevents leach
ing, and 1t sets free potash and
other elements in the soil which
are held in unavailable forms. and
therefore not useful as a plant
food. Lime cOrrects acidity and
renders possible the growth of
certain crops and enables many
useful forms of bacteria to perform
their functions.
Lime Is not a fertilizer as many
suppose. but rather a corrective of
certain undesirable conditions in
the soil and a plant stimulant.
Applied in moderate amounts. at
the rate of from 30 to 60 bushels
per acre once in 3 to > years. it
will prove useful on most OF our
farms. Place the lime in heaps OF
I or bushels at convenient dis
tances in the field. Cover with
earth and allow to thoroughly
Stake and then distribute uniformly
over the land. If used indiscrini-
nately and i'm too large quantities.
1T viii exhaust the soil and in the
end 10y a curse. Lime to be ap-
piled profitably should not cost
more than > TO 10 cents per bushcl.
The so-calIed agricultural lime Of
fered for sale at $40 to SD per ton
is the fresh burned lime. ground
and put up in bags to prevent
stalking. 1t is too costly for a
farmer To use at that price.
The need of lime in the soil can
bc determined by testing it with a
sheet of blue litmus paper which
can be obtained from any drug
store at 4 cost of cents. Put a
handful of the soil in tin cup,
mOisten with rainwater and insert
the paper. If it quickly changes
to a red color the soil is acid and
will be greatly benefited by an APP
plication of lime.
