LIME IN rhE DAIRY.

There IL no better purifier. disinfech

than ordinary lime. writes w. r. Gil
bert to the A~grtculturist EpitOmist. 1t
Is so cheap as to be within the means
Of every dairyman. Unlike. so many dis
i~nfectants. II ia nO-n-poisonOus, while at
the same time 1t Is thoroughly efficient
and easy of application. whether az a
wash for the walls or as an addition to
water used for cleansing vessels which
contain milk or cream. There Is no
remedy which Will sweeten a badly CON
taminated churn. Before 1t gets to that
stage 1T should be destroyed. out to
prevent a churn going Off" or rather
to always maintain 1t in a sweet and
wholesome condition.. it shoul be filled
once or twice a week up to the top
with limewater and allowed to stand
overnight. The water may be used
again to ash the walls, floors. etc.
The following is an excellent method
Of making liniewater: Put a quantity
Of unslacked lime into a tank or bar

After settling the water will be clear
and q scum carbonate OF lime) o N the
surface. Use clear water without dis
turbing the lime at the bottom. When
emptied fill up again with water IL
stir; then leave 10 settle. and SO on.
The quantity of lime first used will
serve for many filings OF the vessel
with water. AS long as the carbonate
Of lime appears on the surface after
settling. 1t may be considered of suffi-
lent strength. Every dairy or factory
should have a tank placed in a high
position. with taps aid On to required
places. Lime water should be used by
| all milk suppliers to rinse buckets and
! milk cans after they nave been
cleansed. The cause of milk turning
sour so quickly in cans is often on ac-
count of the bacterial starter left in the
vessels previously uSeG
A simple experiment will demonstrate
his to be true. Rinse one can after
clea nsing with lime and after leaving
the cover on it for some time. compare
with another can that has not peer
rinsed with limewater and has also had
the cover left on. There will be a no.
ticeable difference in their appearance
and in the aroma arising from them.
Again. II two cans are taken, one
treated In the former way and the 9TH
ar in the latter. 1T will be found that the
milk will keep much better In the one
that was rinsed with limewater. There
is little extra trouble involved in OBJ
serving this simple p%recaution to secure
cleanliness and the expense is no worth

or there must be less for the people to
live on. Less production means a re-
turn to savagery N a loss OF all the
advantages OF civilization. The prob.
lem to solve isI to i fertility to the
soil and productiveness to the varieties
of grain.
Chillian saltpetre Is the only existing
source OF nitrogen that has been consid-
cred practical for the farmers use. This
supply will be exhausted In twenty
years at present rate of use. Peruvian

necessary then to Dol elsewhere for y
supply of nitrogen.
The farmers who are gathering II
from the air through the means of u
rotation OF leguminous plants are do
ing the proper thing and will probably
obtain all the nitrogen they Will need
In this way.
The air above each acre OF land con-
tains nitrogen beyond the possibility
Of use and the problem presented 20 the
chemist is to fix" this free nitrogen
so that 1t will be In "A form available
for the purpose OF adding fertility to
the soil. He has approximately twenty
years to do this or starve. Will he be
equal to the occasion: We are not
losing any sleep over the prospects OF
failure. The inventive ingenuity Of the
Yankee has been able to meet all neces-
stiles and at present the Yankee is not
at the head In this investigation.
The farmers part In tbs subject is to
use such methods as Will conserve what
fertility Is In his land and to be wide
awake on the subject n ready to
use such elements as may add to the
production OF his land when they can
be obtained at an expense that will
make them profitable for him to use.
1t is we'll for the farmer to notice oc-
casionally thai the scientist Is think
ing on lines that will be practical to
him in the future. Such nitrogen as he
can secure from crops OF clover will
cost him nothing but when 1t must be
bought 1t will be otherwise.
Various illustrations are shown
plainly indicating that the addition Of
nitrogen in different forms has made a
big improvement In the growth pro-
duced. The writer says. THE present
day practical lesson Of this whole siren
uous successful work lies in the little
object lesson 1t affords OF The Inn

FUNCTIONS OF THE DAIRY COW.

At the recent farmers course at the
Wisconsin Agricultural college Profess
sor II. T.. Humphrey gave his Views of
the outline breeding function Of the
true dairy COW in the following brief
yet comprehensive manner:
"Wisconsinfis "A great dairy state, bur
h will be a greater dairy state when
her farmers come to understand more
clearly the functions and bodily essen
tials OF the dairy cow. Our farmers are
trying to raise too many SO called dual
purpose cows. with the result that they
are flooding the country with Il lot of
non-purposc cows. That there Is a def
mite relation of form and function in
dairy cattle is IA long and we'll rccog-
ni@ed fact. The head is one OF the
principal indications of dairy tendency.
Cleanliness and refinement here mean
and refinement and quality are the
first essentials of Il dairy COW. Other
Indications OF quality arc fine, hard
bone: soft. rliable skin: messy hair
and large clear eyes. 4 large muZZle
indicates a large assin,ilative and di-
gestive capacity and a we'll developed
breathing system.
A deep. wide chest means large heart
and lung capacity. while a large bar
rel means a we'll developed digestive
system. 1t is essential. too. in a dairy
COW to have "a high and wide rump.

Dam Did Not Go Out.

David Somerville of Dewey has put
in the past year reclaiming a piece of
the desert, near Soldier Creek, Just
over the Oregon line from Idaho, where
he has built dam and reservoir to
store water to irrigate several hundred
acres of fine land, came near losing his
years work, last week. The heavy rains
flooded his dam, for a time pouring in
to it more water than the waste gates
could carry off, and reports reached
here that the dam was sure to be wash
ed out. But by dint of hard work with
crew of men night and day they sue
ceeded in preventing il going out. AS
Mr.. Somerville had cleared aud put in
cultivation considerable land, the loss
would have been a severe one. But
now that the present danger is past, he
will see to it that the dam is fortified
against future accidents. It is said
that he is making fine ranch in the
center of a fine grazing region, remote
from neighbors.

S. B. nongIellow, who has been pros
pecting the Homestake property for
two years, under bond from Setback
and Adams, arrived here Monday, and
succeeded in getting an extension of
time from the owners and will start
work again, this time by running a
long crosscut tunnel through the claim.
1t is probable that electric power will
be installed to do the work, as the pro-
perty is located near the power liue,
running from Swan Falls to Dewey.
J. z. Atkinson, in charge of the Com
moner property, arrived here yester-
day. He states that a gasoline engine
and pump for the mine will arrive from
Murphy today and will be installed at
once and the shaft pumped out. Here
tofore all work in the shaft has been
done with windlass and was suspend
ed some weeks ago to await the arrival
of the engine. A crew of miners will
be put on again as soon as the water is
out OF the shaft. VI. L. Parry went mp
today to superintend setting up the
machinery. Mr.. Lee Bunch the pur
chaser of the mine will be here in about
ten days.

Tuesday, from Denver, whittier he had
gone to hasten the shipment of an

the Potosi mine. He reports that all
the machinery will be promptly shipped
with the exception of the transformer,
which he hopes to receive by the time
the shafthouse is completed and the
hoist and pump installed. lie has ar
ranged for the construction of an office
building on the property, in Long
Gulch. Mr.. Masters, the foreman, now
has men engaged in re-limberiug the
collar of the Potosi shaft, aud putting
III shape for the pump and hoist. The
timbers for the shafthouse have nearly
all arrived, aud carpenters are now at
work on its construction. 1t is hoped
that it will not be long now untiI we
can see the shaft unwatered aud crew

Dr. Cunnlngham's Coming h Matter of 6 Interest.

AMtGhgBts
 Dothan. April 2o.-(speciaL) )7-There is great amount of interest evident here in the announcement that Lieu tenant Governor R. M. Cunningham is to address the voters of Dothan and Houston county at the court house Conner advocates say that their man will carry Houston. but there are many who think that this is by no means a certainty. Dr. Cpn- ningham is unquestionably popular here. both as an individual citizen and in an executive capacity. He is re- garded, by political friend and foe alike. as an unusually able man. and there is no doubt but that Houston's new temple of justice will be packed and damned when he delivers his speech on the issues of the day. Mir. Conner has already spoken here, but Dr. Cunningham has not, and his many friends have been anxious all along that he should pay Dothan a visit.
 The Sunday School Convention. held in the Foster Street Methodist Church drew crowd not quite as large as had been expected, but the proceed ings have been of more than routine interest. and the several talks so far made have been listened to by those in attendance with close attention. There has been quite revival of late in this particular branch of the work of all the churches here, and the number of pupils who on Sunday mornings make their way to the classes Is mo- ticeably on the increase. The present convention was organized and held with the idea of doing everything pos- sible to still further the interest felt in this work, and that it will be emil nently successful none of those en- gagged in it seem to doubt.
 In front of the local telegraph office bulletins are being posted regarding the San Francisco horror, and crowds make their way to secure all the late information possible. This is the on- ly source of news until the arrival of The Montgomery Advertiser on the train at 10:50 a. m. when there is a rush to secure the paper.
 Many people are wondering why the city does not proceed in the use of the street sprinkler. Ostensibly. the mer- chants of Dothan bought and paid for the sprinkler. with the understanding that the municipality was to see to it's operation. Dothan is an unusually dusty town. and the constant use of the tank would prove a gra atifying lux ury just at this particular time: but 1t is very seldom seen doing its duty. Storehouses on Main and Foster streets, the two busiest in the city, are almost constantly filled with chok- ing dust

 The railway trains are the cunning est little things! The engines are suub nosed. with a brass hood ar rangement.

 "The psoriasis first made it's appear ance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the center aspot about the size of a silver dollar of sound flesh. In Q short time the affected circle would form heavy dry scale of white silvery appearance and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and 8 light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly crust would form again in twenty-four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, al- though it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If I let the scales remain too long without remov- ing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed. suffered intense itching. worse at nights after getting warm in bed, or blood warm by exercise, when it would be almost unbearable.
