ACTION OF LIME FERTILIZERS ON
THE SOIL.

Lime fertilizers is better than so
called commercial fertilizers, because
it acts both chemically and physical
ly on the soil. The Lime unitcs
chemically with the organic matter
CT the soil to form humates OF Lime,
and prevents the formation of Humic
acid which is an injurious substance
to plant growth. Lime makes avail
able the dormant potash, compounds
in the soil by chemically uniting with
those compounds and ibcrating the
potash. To Eberatc the unavailable
phosphortc acid in the soil, and in
this way supplies the elements OF
plant-food by setting up beneficlent
operation directly in the soil; olivia
the necessity of applying them in
combination with poisonous acids,
such as oil of vitriol, which is so Diet
rimental to all plant life, and which
is always an ingredient of CONNER
cial fertilizer.
1t makes available, directly in the
soil, the plant-food for which the
farmer is obliged to pay four or five
times as much as the Lime costs, and
from which he receives nothing but a
little stimulation for short time ac-
complained by no physical benefits.
To demonstrate the physical effects
of Lime on a tough clay soil, take
Jumps of clay of equal size, work
them into a plastic mass; to one add
about one half per cent Of caustic
lime, end to the other add nothing;
work the ..limc thoroughly into The
mass OF clay and leave them both dry
thoroughly. When dry the one with
out the lime will be well nigh stoncy
hard. while the one with the lime will
fall to pieces at mere touch. The
same thing will happen in the case
of clay soils when they are lined.

CUTTING AND SELLING TIMBER.

State Forester Besley, whose adj
dress is Baltimore. Md, is receiving
numerous inquiries from farmers and
others in regard to cutting and mar
keting mature timber. In recent
circular he says, 1T is a hopeful in
dication that our people who own
woodlots and timber tracts are MOTH
such haste to convert them into cash
as was the case a few years ago.
This has not been because of a lac k
of tempting offers, for the timber buy
er was never so active in seeking
understandable timber as he is today.
Prices are advancing rapidly with the
increasing demand for R. r. ties,
poles, piles and dimension materials,
until the owner who has a body Of
timber that is at all accessible is Gag
erly sought by buyers. This activity
of the timber buyer has often aroused
the owner to the fact that he has
something OF great value, and that
it will pay him to look into the mat
ter.
This naturally leads him to in
quirc how he may get the most out
of his present crop and how he may
secure new growth. In other words
he is in position to adopt conserva-
tive forest methods if it can be prov
en- that it will pay. No two tracts of
woodland are exactly alike and the
purpose for which one owner holds
his woodlands is different from chat
of another, so no specific rules can be
laid down that will apply in every
case 1t is possible, however, with
a knowledge of tree growth and
knowing the kinds of trees best adapt
ed to certain soils and for certain pur-
poses, to draw up plan Of manage

preme Court Strongly
Favors This.

Des MoInes. Ia. Feb. i9.-The pro-
Ject for the establishment OF n school
at Red Oak 10 bo a branch OF tho col
lege ut Ames and to be In fact an In
termediate school for boys and girls
In agriculture Is the scheme OF Judge
Horace Il. Deemer. OF the supreme
court: or At least no IL greatly Inter
csted In the project and helped TO draft
tho bill Judge Deemer IL much inter
ested In the york that has been done
there and desires It's extension.
What we plan" he said. lis that the
state establish there a school for the
boys and girls from the farms under
the supervision OF the college at Ames.
where they will be- given an insight
into the science OF agriculture or be
fitted for the agricultural college.
At present the boys from tho farms
must 20 through tho High schools TO
reach the college and the tendency or
the High schools In TO educate away
from the farms. IL In surprising that
the farmers OF Iowa have 80 long toll
Grated this condition. They have no
schools OF their own. The High schools
are for the pupils OF the town schools.
Now we have already demonstrated
that there IL a demand for this work.
The first year We had our school We
got about ESQ persons TO attend: this
year tT0 were there and they did
splendid work. The demand Is for the
state to do this work. by and through
the agricultural college.
1T IL estimated that by the education
OF the farmers we have Increased the
average yield OF corn ave bushels per
acre In our county. That means 49,
900. We believe ~ can be Increased
ten more. And what can be done there
can be done all over the state We
want educated farmers. This Is a step
In that direction.
"A great deal IL being done In this
direction In other state--in Minnesota,
Wisconsin. Georgia and elsewhere, and
II Is the rule In Europe. We must
come TO IL here In Iowa and do II very
soon"
The people OF Red Oak stand ready
10 donate the state farm worth
$50. 900. but they desire the state to
take up the work. Such a school there
would soon mean similar schools all
over the state.
