Lining Iand.

c. G, G., Roanoke, writes: There is
o great deal OF sheep sorrel spring
ing up on my farm. 1t has never
been lined to my knowledge but has
been heavily fertilized for several
years. / am thoroughly convinced
that the land needs lime, and would
like your opinion on the best kind to
use.
Answer-The presence of sheep
sorrel on your land is an indication
that it needs lining, and l would
apply lime on a portion of it this
fall The freshly burned kiln lime
obtained near the vicinity of your
farm will be as effective as any other
form you can use, and you should be
able to purchase 1t cheaper near home
than where YOU have to have it
shipped a long way by freight. A
ton Of lime per acre is not too heavy
an application to make on land Of
the character described in your let
ter, though II you find this too ex-
pensiye, 1000 pounds per acre Will
prove beneficial You can Stake the
lime by piling it in large heap and
protecting from the rain and then
distributing over the land with a
manure spreader. You can adjust
the manure spreader so as not to put
the lime down too heavily, and you
will find 1t an advantage to use chan
straw fodder to give the lime suf-
ficient bulk and prevent its running
out of the spreader too rapidly.
Your land undoubtedly needs to be
supplied with humus or vegetable
matter This can be obtained by
growing legumes on the farm, such
as eowpeas, soy beans, crimson clover
or red clover. Practice a rotation on
your farm and keep as much live
stock as possible. Use about 800
pounds of acid phosphate per acre
on cowpeas, corn and other heavy
feeding crops, with from fifty to 100
pounds of muriate of potash You
can obtain the nitrogen you need
through growing legumes, and with
the application of lime you should
be able to improve the condition of

Bonnnzn For the Farmer.

In my search for facts in regard
to the alfalfa plant as pasture,
have found a wide difference in opin-
ion as to the intrinsic value, but by
series Of experiments on my trial
grounds / have proven to my own
satisfaction that 1t can be used very
successfully as a pasture and without
damage to the stock, provided the
animals are not turned to pasture
except with full stomachs. Cattle
are so fond of the alfalfa plant that
they eat it greedily, usually gorging
themselves il they 60 to pasture with
empty stomachs, and the result is
bloat and loss of cattle.
never pasture alfalfa while the
dew is on or just after rain. 1t is
claimed by many that cattle can be
accustomed to alfalfa pasture by be-
ing allowed to feed for a short period
each day and gradually lengthen the
time until they can eat it without
apparent danger, but / cannot speak
authoritatively on this, as my exper-
iments along this line are as yet in
their infancy, but believe the safest
plan is to mix the alfalfa seed with
other grasses and cloVers.
/ have found the following a good
combination: One part each of alf-
alta, red clover and timothy to three
parts each Of orchard grass and Gro
mus merits.
While people differ in opinion as
to the value Of alfalfa as a pasture
when it comes to q hay crop each
one has proclaimed it a bonanza.
Alfalfa on suitable lands will yield
five tons Of cured hay per acre, while
the feeding value Of one acre of corn
is rarely equivalent to three tons of
alfalfa hay. Animals accustomed to
the use Of alfalfa hay never tire of
it, and it has been asserted that they
viii leave fresh green pastures to
feed from a stack Of alfalfa.
Alfalfa meal can be bought at any
up-to-date feed store, and / find it
valuable as n food when mixed with
corn and fed to fattsning hogs, but
when feeding it to cattle | find them
to be the best and most economical
mill to grind it.-Enos G. Pittman,

NO MEDICINE
Eat Change Of Food Gave Final Rec
Iief.

Most diseases start in the alimen-
tary canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal Of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any Of
the staccny foodwe eat-white bread,
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these
things are digested in the small in
testines, and If we eat too much, as
most OF us Go, the organs that should
digest this kind OF food are overcome
by excess Of work, so that fermenta-
ton, indigestion, and a long train Of
ais result.
Too much fat also is hard to d.
gest and this is changed into acids,
sour stomach, belchtng gas, and a
bloated, heavy feeling.
IN these conditions a change from
indigeaSy.9 foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress, but in building up q
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes:
About five years ago I suffered
with bad stomach-dyspepsia, indi-
gestion, constipation-caused, 1 know
now, from eating starchy and greasy
food.

there was no cure for me. could
not eat anything without suffering
severe pain in my back and sides, and
I became discouraged.
"A friend recommended Grape

than two weeks I began to feel better
and inside of two months I was a
well woman and have been ever since.

Flowing Cowpeas Under.

G. L. S., Brandford, writes: At
what stage of growth should cowpeas
be plowed under, and how should
they be plowed under?
Acknowledgements generally give
their best results if plowed under
when the lower leaves and pods are
beginning to turn yellow When in
this condition a part of the moisture
has been evaporated and they are not
so likely to sour the land as when
plowed under in the early stages of
growth. They will not sour the land
if properly handled, and where the
growth is light, they can be plowed
under at almost any stage. Where
cowpeas are plowed under the land
should be rolled Immediately with a
heavy roller and then narrowed. This
will bring the moisture to the SUR
face and also form a dust mulch to
prevent the water escaping from the
soil. One reason better results have
not been obtained from blowing un-
der cowpeas is due to the fact that
the roller has not been judiciously
used. Cowpeas may be plowed under
quite easily by using a plow with
rolling Golfer, or by running a roller
or disk over them before blowing. A
chain may also be used advantageous
ly to drag them into the furrow.-

Mr.. HoAR ON THE SENATORS.
An Average Lot of Americans, in His
Opinion.


Not everything that Senator Hoar
thought Of the Senate, its mechanism
and its membership, found its way in
to print He was free commentator,
and as near as any man could be,
possibly, q just critic He was
shrewd judge Of men, and being an
uncompromising foe of rascals he
could recognize one on sight.
Riding with friend to Boston one
day, a few years only before his death,
he fell to talking about the Senate
and its personnel AS the train drew
into New Haven. where the station
was as usual busting with busy men
going to and from the trains pursuing
their customary ayocations, he smiled
and in a reflective sort of way said:
Now look at those men out there.
They are the prevailing American
type Study them individually, and
you will notice how generally alike
they are and all apparently of about
the same standard Of physical strength
and, as far as we can judge by their
countenances, of intellectually.
Now, you know, Senator is re.
garded as in a way man apart and
above the ordinary run of citizens, but
I honestly believe that taking us as
body we would not rank higher than
the average Of those fellow citizens of
ours out there. These men are look
ing out for their own private business
interests and we for the interests Of
the public. We keep our ears closer
to the ground and are more au fat,
perhaps, than they, but I think they
would average up even with the mem
bers Of the United States Senate
