Use IL Lirnr.

Can you explain the use OF lime?
Does It burn out humus in the soil
or does II only free potash and phos-
phoric acid, in which case it would
not be injurious, as the elements
freed would be appropriated by plant
life? ]. e. B. r., Remove, Pa. An
swer;-Lime performs valuable
service to plant growth by rendering
the potash of the soil more avail
able. 1t prevents the soluble phos-
phoric acid in fertilizers from form
ing base with iron or alumina,
which Is undesirable because phos-
pilates of iron and alumina are in
soluble. Lime also promotes the de-
composition of organic substances
humus, sod, etc. 1t hastens the
change Of ammonia into nitric acid,
and sweetens the soil.-The Country

InrcnIous Omce Boy.

A New York business man was
telling some friends not long ago of
the disadvantage of having two tele-
phones in his business office.
"A new Office boy entered upon
the discharge of his duties last
week. said the merchant, among
which duties is that of answering the
telephone calls. The very first call
resulted in his coming to me with
this statement:
You're wanted at the phone by
a lady. sir
Which one?' asked, thinking
of the two phones.
Well, sir said the boy, after
an embarrassed pause, Il think
its your wife, sir. - Harper's

keeping Youngs Folks on Farm.

For some time past the drift OF
youths to the cities and towns from
our rural districts has been greatly
detrimental to the welfare of those
engaged in farming pursuits, hence
the question, How can we keep the
young people on the farm? In my
opinion this question may be an
swerea BY saying: Give more atten-
tion TO their environment. Make
home more attractive and amusing.
The reason l believe so many leave
their country homes is In search of
pleasure. Now, why should we not
provide some luxuries for our homes,
and thus save our young people from
the many snares encountered in civic
life?
In order that we use discretion in
our selection of home amusements we
must first study the individual tastes
of our youth. 1t may be the purchase
of an organ or piano may I'LL the bill

liking for home life. There are
many things that win suggest them
selves as we look this question in
the face. An advanced education
along agricultural lines gives us
to realize the realness of our pro-
fession. The visit of good agri-
cultural weekly may tend to stimu-
late an interest for rural life. The
formation of literary and other so.
cieties gives an opportunity for the
development of social and literary
life. The Introduction OF agriculture
as a study in the curriculum of our
public schools would be of vital Inn
porsapce in the widening Of views and
the development OF agriculture In

are within the reach OF most OF our
boys and girls Why should not the

Mental Medicine.

A somewhat eccentric physician
who recently died would order pa
tients to take walks, say, daily. on
the left side of the street, returning
by the other side, another he would
order to arise each morning at a
certain hour and eat cheese with
ginger beer; another to take sup
per precisely at midnight. and eat
only apples; or he would instruct the
patient to put just so many grains
of salt on the egg he was to eat,
and part his hair in a different way
each day. His object was to get the
mind of the patient on something
else than symptoms, and this scheme
worked well In many cases, especial
ly when the patient was suffering
from melancholia.-N. Y. Times.

Healthy Chicks.

The chicks receive their first food
twenty-four hours after Matching,
consisting OF little fine oyster shell
and coarse ssud with dry oat meal,
with O shallow dish of water in reach.
After two or three days feed them
what / call chicken bread, made of
six parts of bran, one part middlings,
three parts cornmeal and a handful
of meat meal, made with salt, saler-
atus and buttermilk, and baked in
thick loaves in a slow oven. Such
bread will keep three or four days
in good condition. and the chickens
are fond of 1t. This bread, together
with a supply of rolled oats and a
mixture of ground grain, together
with grass and clover seed from chaff,
plenty Of fine grit and clean water,
is the bill of fare up to four weeks,
after which they get little whole
grain among the chaff, and later some
fine cracked corn and whole oats
kept where they can help themselves.
The breeder is cleaned once week
at first and later twice week.
Chickens leave the brooder at five or
six weeks of age and are put into
box shelters, with wire fronts, and
sack hung over the front at night.
They are ready for broilers at eight
to ten weeks of age. 1t is important
for them to have green food after
two or three weeks, but l do not
feed milk because it is troublesome
to use and becomes sour or dirty
very quickly.-Mrs. @. H. Dennison

pinerent Tan For Every Gown.

1t seemed as If only the spirit
of contrariness could make fans
highly fashionable in a season when
women who had sent their furs to
cold storage were obliged to call
them back; but seldom have fans
had such a vogue as now. The man
date from London is that the fash
ionab'e woman must have a differ
ent for every gown, and one for
every occasion. "A tiny fan in a
shade to match the hat should be
carried in the park in the morning, "
says a Bond street authority. IAN
afternoon fan is more elaborate, but
equally small. 1t is made of real lace
or fine silk, embroidered with fow-
ers. The river fan is made of paper,
printed with a floral design. A tiny
mother-of-pearl fan folds and fits in
to a vanity bag. The peacock's S
feather fan is a novelty Of the sea-
son, and floral fans made from real
flowers will be largely in request. -

Women in Germany.

Were It not for the revolution
ary changes brought about by the
invention and introduction of ma
chinery, etc, we would have stayed
practically where we were at the be-
ginning Of the nineteenth century"
says DR.. Helene Stocker in writing
of THE Women's Movement in Ger
many" in The Independent. New
kinds of work had to be created to
take the place of those that we're
lost" she continues:
'In this way the women's move
ment became necessity. Two ways
only were open for a woman to
whom the opportunity for work was
denied, providing she was not for
tunate enough to have come into the
world blessed with yearly income.
These we're disgrace or death. Even
| those who could have no conception
| themselves of what mental hunger
was had to realize that woman was
acquainted, at all events, with physi-
| cal hunger, and, therefore, she should
| be allowed to provide for her physi-
cal needs with the work of her own
hands. Even II there had been. no
women's movement, 1t would have
| been necessary for the leaders of the
State to have originated it-unless
they had had the intention to pen
sion of all women and maintain
them at the public's expense"
| Thus, out of material needs,
Frau Stocker points out, came a new
ideal for women. This ideal first
found public expression in the first
| German women's association organ
ICED in 1865, two years after Lasalle
had founded the first German work.
mems association. For the first few
years, it seems, this association and
other organizations OF women were
very modest in their claims for
higher education and other oppor-
tunities for their sex, perhaps in the
hope of gaining more sympathy
thereby. But about the year 1890
they began to change their policy,
the idea having arisen among some
that in women's movements, as in
politics, the saying of Bismarck ap-
piled. "Dutiful children get moth
| lh6s III lulo way a ulOiG
tendency was created, and to this
Frau Stocker attributes the more
rapid progress of the last ten years.
The new ideas have now pene-
trated every class of German society,
Frau Stocker says, and have many
sympathizers among men, as well as
women.
Women's organizations follow, to
a great extent, the lines of political
parties. Even the Clerical-Conserva-
tives have recognized that it is now
time to take up position to drive
the women into the camps of the
Progressive parties. Accordingly,
two religious organizations of wo-
men have come into existence, one
the Evangelical Women's League
and the other the Catholic Women S
League, the latter under the direc-
tion Of the Centre party. The fact
that the Centre is now taking the
women's movement officially under
its wing Frau Stocker cites as the
best argument that the women S
movement is now being taken Sc
riously and can no longer be ignored.

Camphor Farm In Florida.

For FIVE years the Department Of
Agriculture has been distributing
camphor-tree seed. and thousands OF
trees are now growing throughout
the South and in the Pacific Coast
States. Two years ago a serious
effort was made to develop the
manufacture of camphor from these
trees. BY improvements in manu-
featuring processes satisfactory re-
suits have been accomplished and a
large manufacturing concern is now
building up a camphor grove of o.
0O0 acres in Florida, from which 1t
hopes to make its camphor. This
firm uses more than 100000 worth
of camphor ever year.

Paper Clothes May BE a Boon.

VIII women elect TO wear paper
dresses elsewhere than at fancy
balls? There's a question sartorial
authorities have to solve. The cable
informs us that paper yarn is being
made successfully into fabrics for
clothing. The thread is not brittle
and 1t neither shrinks nor stretches
to any appreciable extent. Moisture
has practically no effect upon it, and
1t has extraordinary wearing proper

cocoons, fields of cotton may be
eaten up by bugs and sheep may be
unable to supply covering to the
world, but what will that matter If
the making of paper clothes proves
practicable?-New York Press.

Yes, the farmers trust TO Providence;
but not so with the millers nor with
the shippers. They know that the
Lord helps him who helps himself,
and they know how to do that to the
Queens taste. In fact, everybody
helps himself but the farmer. He
