HINTS FOR FARMERS
Lime Not a Soil Food.

Always bear IN mind that lime in no
way takes the place Of manures, fer
tilizers or green manuring. 1t simply
remedies a sick condition Of the soil
and should be considered rather as a
medicine than as food Its use with
out the use of manures or fertilizers
would be much like trying to sustain
the human body on stimulants alone
without the use Of food and would re-
suit only in the greater impoverish-
ment of the soil. On the other hand.
when a man is sick he sometimes
needs medicines to get his system into
condition so 1t can again assimilate
food, and in the same way q soil which
is sick with acid must have that acid
ity cured with lime before it can make
use of the plant food in the manures
or fertilizers. Perhaps my smile is a
little farfetched, but think the read
er will appreciate the point which the
writer is trying to make-that lime is
a corrective and not a food.-Alfred
Vivian, Ohio State University, in New
England Farmer,

When to stop churnina.

Different buttermakers have various
ways Of ascertaining the proper time
when the churn should be stopped. 1t
has been the general rule in the past
that churn should be stopped when
the granules are little larger than
wheat kernels. If the churn is stop
ped when butter Is gathered to the
size Of wheat kernels, the buttermilk
will strain out very easily, viii wash
better and cleaner and aid In keeping
the moisture at more even percent
age.
Overchurning should be guarded
against as we'll as understanding, for
butter that is overturned will retain
large amount of buttermilk, which
is very difficult to remove by washing.
Consequently the butter win in time
take up a rancid or buttermilk flavor
directly from the buttermilk that Is
retained.--A. Fl. Wilcox Before Wis
consin Buttermakers.

Dairy Wisdom.

The most profitable business on the
farm is dairying, and it is cash bust
ness. Every business man as well as
farmer is interested in the develop
ment of this business.
One COW will produce every year
$40 to $50 worth of milk besides her
calf.
You cannot afford to feed twenty to
twenty-five cent butter fat to four or
five cent calf when there is an abun-
dance of cheaper feed to raise him on.
When you feed steer until he is
three years old he Is worth from $50
to 500 He goes to the market and
takes your corn with him, leaving you
nothing. You can milk that much
money out of good cow in one year
and still have the COW left.-De Laval

American Agriculturist. / like them
for the light types of soil when free
from stones, gravel and roots and
rather abundantly supplied with vege-
table matter. In sticky soils where
the moldboard plow will not scour the
disk is popular. In soils where the
moldboard type works well there is
little to gain by using the disk. The
draft Of the latter is often greater and
the pillow itself is clumsy. The disk is
better for very dry land and often is
the only means for blowing such.

Considerable interest has been arous-

at every performance, rain or shine.
Arrangements have been made with
the railroad officials to run excursions
at special rates from the various sta
tions along the line and there will be
special provisions for the accommoda-
tion of those who wish to visit the ex-
hibition. To the small boy and grown
up Buffalo Bill will be the chief at
traction, for his fame is not dimmed
by the years which have elapsed since
he helped write the story of the west
through his heroic deeds. One of the.
principal contests of the redmen, in
which he took an active part, will be
pictured in the open-air melodrama,
The Battle of Summit Springs, an en-
gagement in miniature introducing
more than one hundred Indians and
as many cavalrymen and soldiers.
Contrasted with this scene will be An
Oriental Spectacle which will picture
the gorgeous beauties of the Far East,
its pagentry and people, its pleasures
and pastimes, and it's strange cos
tunes and customs. Turning again to
American history there will be An At
tack Upon an Emigrant Train, A
Holiday at CITE" Ranch, and The.
Great Train Hold-Up by Indians,
showing varied pictures of early life
upon the boundless plains. Rossi's
Musical Elephants will be particular
feature Of the Far East scene, and as
an individual feature of the Wild
West section of the exhibition Ray
Thompson's Trained Western Range
Horses will be shown in feats of grace
and equine skill. Sharpshooting by
Johnny Baker will be aparticular at
tractive feature, and bunch of buck
ing bronchos will furnish the principal
comedy element of truly exhilarating
and strenuous exhibition.
