Alkaline Soil Conditions.

Lime can also do harm if used in
judiciously. 1t may induce the soil
to give up plant foods by drawing too
heavily upon the resources of the
land. The mechanical effect of lime,
in changing the texture of the soil.
is also an important result of its use.
Lime gives excellent results when
used in connection with green crops
that are plowed under. 1t is the
manure, or crop, th~t provides the
plant food, and not the lime, but
lime induces hasty action, and en-
ables the materials added to the soil
to assume the forms available for the
plants. When the land is sour. and
grown over with sorrel (Which con-
tains oxalic acid), lime is said then
to "sweeten the soil' by removing
the sourness, but what it really does
is to assist IN changing the acids of
the soil into carbonate of lime and
oxalate of lime, through chemical
combinations, the sour soil becoming
alkaline because the lime has taken
up the acids which existed before its
presence. With the changes thus
made follow others, but they may
be rapid or slow according to circum-
stances, sometimes the benefits of
lime not being apparent until the sec
ond year, but upon soils upon which
lime has rot been applied for years
it never fails to give excellent results.
In proportion to the benefits derived
it costs but little, is plentiful, and
should be used extensively. Lime
may be said to be the foundation Of
the clover crop. wood ashes also be-
ing excellent = Philadelphia Record.

Farm Notes.

The farmer that makes his pork
by helping out his corn with pump
kins and other ''side dishes" will
find more stuff in his pocket book.
What do you think of the high
class, high-priced thoroughbreds that
follow the fairs like the lawyers used
to follow the courts? Fine, surely;
but it is the high-class grades that
fill the butchers stalls.
Glover bloat or hoyen is more COM
mon among cattle in wet seasons
than in dry. The cow that has had
some dry hay and salt Immediately
before being turned on the clover
is not likely to have bloat.
The orchard is good place to
feed hogs in. The hogs may get an
extra mouthful that is clear gain,
and they will prepare for the trees
many a good meal for next spring
and summer
Don't let the months pass without
a thorough cleaning up of the stables,
barn and barnyard. Every shovel
full of manure is worth money if you
get it to the right place-garden,
orchard or meadow.
The yearlings may be wintered
much more cheaply, and make a
great deal better growth if comfort

Use of Copper in Buildings.

There is a great revolution going
on in the building trade, iron, con-
crete and copper superseding bricks,
wood and stone, very good illustra-
tion of which can be seen in the new
depots of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Railroad, which are be-
ing built in New York and Hoboken.
1t will be noticed that copper is used
almost entirely for the outside walls
and facing of the structure, taking
the place of cut stone.
The making of bronze fittings for
buildings is an industry which has
doubled within three years, and is
increasing at a ratio perhaps greater
than that of other branches of the
copper consuming industry. This is
due to the enormous amounts OF
bronze trimmings specified by archi-
tects in the form of decorative in
terror work.
The new Hall of Records, in New
York City, has $4,000 pounds of copl
per in its dome The building con-
tains copper in all forms to the
amount of 100000 pounds. Three
Office buildings under construction in
the financial district will. require in
the aggregate 2,450,O00 pounds OF
copper within year, in the forms OF
wire, window sheathing, roofing, lead.
ers and bronze and brass fittings.

Halibut With Tomato Sauce
Make a sauce with two cups of
stewed tomatoes, one cup of water,
two bruised whole cloves and two
slices of onion cooked together for
half an hour. Melt one-quarter cup
of butter, rub in one rounding table
spoonful of -four, and then pour on
the hot tomato. Cook ten minutes
and strain. Scrape the black skin
from steak of halibut weighing
three or four pounds. Dust with salt

mainder of the sauce at intervals
while baking. Baste several times.

Cut in small diced pieces a boned
raw half fowl, quarter of a pound
of raw veal, two medium-sized white
onions, one seedless green pepper
and two branches we'll cleaned crisp
celery. Place these in a saucepan
with one tablespoonful of butter and
gently brown for ten minutes, being
careful to stir with a wooden spoon
once in while. Moisten with three
quarts of hot water, add the other
half of the fowl, season with one and
a half teaspoonfuls of salt and half
a teaspoonful of pepper. Cover pan
and allow to simmer for forty-five
minutes. Then add two crushed
peeled tomatoes and twelve trimmed
fresh okras cut in quarter-inch
pieces. Open and thoroughly drain
on sieve a third of pint of corn
and add to the soup at least tea
spoonful of freshly chopped parsley.
Mix and allow to boil for forty min
utes longer. Remove fowl and keep

Strip the article to be cleaned Of
its stufing and binding and lay as
neatly as possible in a fat position
Brush it well. Next warm some new
bran in a pan, and stir it actively so
as to prevent it from burning. When
the bran has been well warmed, rub
it thoroughly into the fur with the
hand. Repeat this two or three
times. Shake the fur now and give it
another sharp brushing until it is
quite free from dust. Furs are usu-
ally much improved by stretching,
which may be managed as follows:
To pint of soft water, add three
ounces of salt; dissolve. With this
solution sponge the inside of the
skin, taking care not to wet the fur,
until it becomes thoroughly saturat-
ed; then lay it carefully on a board,
with the fur side downwards, in it's
natural position; stretch it as much
as it will bear and to the required
shape, then fasten with small tacks.
The drying may be accelerated by
placing the skin a little distance
from the fire or stove.

This is especially true if the
woman herself has that most useful
gift bestowed by the birth fairies,
good taste. More often than not the
woman who needs to study economy
is the one who is most richly en-
dowed with this faculty, and it is
apt to be combined with clever, prac-
tical ability to either do the neces-
sary work of making up home gowns,
or to direct the home dressmaker
in her labors, so that the finished
frock has an air of style that makes

wiping with clean towels, avoiding
every chance of filth entering the
milk, but such dairymen get good
prices. which are secured by their
reputation for skillful management
of their cows and their products. The
Importance of putting upon the mar
ket milk that is clean and of good
quality should be a special effort on
the part of dairymen, for the reason
than the consumer is willing to pay
more for it If convinced of the fact
of the superiority of the product.
Milk passes through so many hands
from the COW to the consumer as to
render the matter of obtaining pure
and clean milk a difficult one. The
dairyman consoles himself with the
fact that he strained the milk before
selling it, but the strainer does not
remove soluble filth. Any substance
that is dissolved by the milk will re-
main in the milk.
Dairymen are aware OF the fact
that it is not unusual foq cow to
get down on the floor Of her stall
to rest, without regard to whether
the floor is clean or covered with
manure and her udder and teats may
have rested during the night on a
heap of fresh manure. The COW is
not as clean as the hog, so far as Sc
lecting suitable place for resting
is concerned and where the dairyman
himself is careless and does not keep
the stalls clean, as we'll as brush the
cows and wash the teats and udders,
it is almost impossible to have clean
milk. That cleanliness adds to the
profits has been demonstrated by
many leading dairymen, who find it
profitable to sell only the best and
cleanest milk they can offer, the best
price being secured when the farmer
can sell his product himself or when
the dealer handles milk only from
well regulated farms.-The Epito-

same privileges as boys when it
comes to question of higher educa-
tion. There are no special courses,
universities or preparatory school for
girls in the land where Queen Will

All institutions for higher educa-
tion are open to men and women
equally, and on the same terms; stu
dents of either sex are treated in the
same way and have to pass the same
examinations.

importance of Pedigree.

The Importance of pedigree is
highly appreciated by breeders. A
sire of relatively low personal stand
ard, but of good ancestry, is more to
be desired than one of inferior pedi-
gree, though of individual excellence.

quaintance with the breed to read
the pedigree intelligently and know
from it what may be expected in the
offspring.

Benefits of Selection.

BY judicious breeding strains of

give nearly all their possible yield
in the first two years of their lives,
and necessarily these are the most
profitable birds. Some hens, too,

the winter time, when eggs are worth
the most money, and encouragement
in this line is to be given by propa-
eating families of winter layers
