Line IN Garden Soil.

] heard one man the other day as
sert that as he was not trying to
grow legumes there was no reason for
lining his land. Now he may be
badly mistaken and may be paying for
that mistake by losing annually on
about all Of the garden crops he grows
IL the land is sour from any cause
lime will sweeten it and allow the
yeasty ferments in the soil to grow
These ferments do q work that must
be done IL we are to have good crops
If there is good supply of this vege-
table matter, part of the organic
matter is changed by the nitric fer
ment organisms into nitrates which
make the nitrogen Of organic matter
available for plants.
The lime also aids to break up some
of the insoluble compounds of potash
and renders that element available for
the completion of the work of the ri
trio ferments. Especially for lands
devoted to truck gardening and that
are constantly heavily fortified the
use of lime every few years has
very beneficial effect.-Milton Knight.

Make Cuttings Now.

Few people realize how simple a
matter it is to propagate ones own
grape vines, currants, gooseberries and
is properly done these plants may be
readily propagated by means of cut
tings made late in autumn after the
leaves are off of the plants, but prefer
ably before cold weather comes on.
Only well ripened mature wood that
has grown during the preceding sum-
mer should be selected for the pur-
pose, all soft or immature parts being
discarded. The cuttings themselves
should be made six to ten inches long
and the base of each should be cut
squarely just below bud, so the bud
is retained at the lower end. They
should be tied up In bundles of con-
yenient size, say, one hundred in a
bundle, their butts, or basal ends, ali
one way, well shaken down, so as to
stand level on a fiat table. They may,
then, be packed in fresh, moist saw
dust and be kept through the winter in
cellar or callus pit.
Upon the approach of spring, as ear
iy as the soil can be worked and be-
fore the buds have begun to grow on
them, they should be planted out in
good garden soil. The rows should be
about four feet apart, to admit of easy
cultivation, and the cuttings should
be set very firmly in the soil, SO as to
leave no air spaces about them, and
set deep enough so only the uppermost
bud is above the ground. They should
then be given clean cultivation and
hoed to keep down all weeds during
the summer, when usually an excel.
lent growth of plants will be secured.
Currants, gooseberries, the Marian
ma and Golden Beauty plums, some
varieties OF ounces, the barberry,
spirea, mockorange, privet, most var
ieties of shrubs, willows, pop!ars and
some other varieties of forest trees,
root readily from cuttings handled in
this manner. j, G.. Written,

me Ben Davis AppIe.

The tree that to-day is receiving the
greatest amount of attention from fruit
growers is the Ben Davis. Its increase
In popularity has been unusual. The
Ben Davis apple to-day has innumer-
able enemies among the fruit growers
who have fought its progress step by
step. The apple does not stand high
In quality and sells low on the mar
ket; sometimes 1t sells 81 per barrel
less than the Jonathans, Grimes Col
den or Kings. Ye. for all this, the
Ben Davis apple trees are being mum.
erously planted and are exceptionally
favored by great commercial growers
There are fruit growers in all of our
western states who are putting in Ben
Davis orchards consisting of thousands
Of trees. Not only in the West, but in
the Middle and New England states
the Ben Davis apple trees are being
extensively planted. The tree is GER
tainly remarkable, in that 1t thrives
well on the prairies in the West and
On the clay hills in the East.
Having originated in Kentucky one
would hardly expect to find 1t fruit
adapted to Wisconsin, yet such is the
case. While the Ben Davis is only
medium in quality 1t has rich red
color when 1t is allowed to fully ma
lure on the trees. This often has been
IT'S greatest help in selling. People
will buy fruit on its looks even il they
know that its quality is not as great
as the quality of some other fruit
This is Illustrated in the experience OF
The fruit exporters. At the Paris Elk
position in 1900 among other fruit
Ben Davis was shown there in consid
cradle quantities. The fruit after q
few days showing was each time auc
toned off to the Parisians to make
way for new consignments Of fruit
coming from the United States. II
was a surprise to the men that had
opposed the Ben Davis apple to find II
selling under the hammer of the auc
tioneer at 35 franc or about 81 pei
barrel. No other American apple
brought the same price. The Parisians
were not deceived in the quality o.
the fruit for they continued to buy ths
Ben Davis apple even after they hat
tested their quality. The bright rec
color caught the eye of the Partisan!
who were said to have longing ant
prejudice In favor of the yellow ap
ole.
The fact is that the Ben Davis ap
pies vary in quality according to thu
place where they are grown. Th'
Ben LAWS apple grown in Kentucky
southern Illinois, Missouri and in 9th
er localities having humid atmos
phere and a long season, reach larg'
size and bright color and have quite
good flavor. We have seen these az
pies in Missouri so highly Favored
that they were considered delicac.
upon hotel tables. We have also seel
some good Ben Davis apples as fla
north as Wisconsin, but in most case
the Ben Davis apples in Wisconsin
Northern Illinois, and adjacent region
are lacking in size, flavor and color
This is due to the fact that the sea
son begins late in the Spring ant
closes early in the Fall.

Learn Abous Fertilizers.

Every farmer that has to use
commercial fertilizers should make
a study of them. There is moth.
ing more essential in his farm
work. He should understand what
are the elements of plant food
and why he needs to buy certain fer.
tilizers and not certain others. This
caution is needed badly, as among the
multitudes of retail vendors of fertil-
izers are many that are selling farm
ers fertilizers that are of no value to
them, though those same fertilizers
would be of value on other farms. The
retailer simply wants the profit on his
sale. This is not true of all, but is
true of some. The farmer must him
self he able to judge of his needs In
this respect.

This remarkable woman, whose
maiden name was Estes, was born IN
Lynn, Mass, February 9TH 1919, com
Ing from good old Quaker family,
For many years she taught school, and
during her career as teacher she be-
came known as a woman OF an alert
and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above all,
she was possessed with wonderfully
sympathetic nature.
In lS43 she married Isaac Plnkham,
q builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. they had
four children, three sons and daugh-
ter.
In those good old-fashioned days few
drugs were used In medicines; people
relied upon natures remedies, roots
and herbs, which are today recognized
as more potent and efiicacious In con
trolling diseases than any combination
of drugs.
Mrs. Pinkham from her youth took n
deep interest In medicine, In botany
the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics, and power over DIS
ease; she believed that as nature
SO bountifully provides food for the
body so she also provides medicine for
the Ills and weaknesses of tho body,
In the roots and herbs Of the field,
and as wife, mother and sympathetic
friend, she often made use of her
knowledge Of roots and herbs In pre-.
pairing medicines for her family and
friends.
Knowing Of so much suffering among
her sex, after much study and re-
search, Mrs. Pinkham believed that
the diseases of women have a com
mon cause, and she set to work TO
find a common remedy-not at that
time as a source OF profit, but simply
that she might aid the suffering.
How her efforts have been rewarded
the women OF the world know to-day
In 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity was too
much for the large real estate inter.
ests of the Pinkham family, as this
class OF business suffered most from
this fearful depression, so when the
Centennial year dawned IL found their
property swept away.
