fall, cross-plow it the coming spring.

cultivated more weeds will terminate

more popular.

Good Word for Gufneas.

The Guinea fowl may yet become a
very profitable branch of farm poultry
raising. The scarcity of certain kinds
of game which resemble in flavor the
Guinea, especially the Western prairie
chicken and grouse, has led to sub
stitution of young Guineas on hotel and
restaurant bills of fare. Guineas of
about the broiler age, weighing about
one pound and q half are of an ex-
ceedingly fine, gamy flavor, and seem to
satisfy the consumer In this way the
restaurants are able to dodge the game
laws in certain States and serve 'prai-
RE chicken" on the bill of fare at all
seasons. Gamehouses are paying high
prices for young Guineas, and it would
seem that large farms might be devot
ed to them prodtably wherever turkeys
and pheasantS succeed.

Too Much Specialization

The hard experience Of last year
taught many of the Southern truck
growers the old lesson of diversified
ton, or in other words, not to put all
their eggs into one basket. This year
many Of the farmers who staked all

now branching out little more into
fruit growing, etc, as we'll as the Gull
ture of vegetable crops. The indica-
tons are for q prosperous season for
Southern truckmen, but it is always
dangerous for a man Of small capital
to grow nothing at all but one line of

Farmers often say that they do not
need to use lime, because they use
large quantities of it in fertilizer.
Ground bone and other forms of phos-
phate contain lime We cannot obtain
phosphoric acid in ordinary fertilizers
without lime. Such farmers mistake
the most necessary function of lime in
the soil. Air-slaked lime has chem
ical action which sWeetens the soil,
makes it more compact or sets free
other forms of plant food This is quite
distinct from its power to provide ac-
tual food for the plants. The lime in
the bone or phosphate may in time
serve as plant food, but the air-slaked
lime is needed for the more important
service.
