Applying Lime For Corn.

w. N. c., Chatham Hill, writes: I
want to use lime on my corn this
spring, and want to know the best
way to use it and the amount per
acre.
It is better as a rule to apply lime
in the fall rather than in the spring,
but If you can put it on the soil
promptly now, there is no objection
to using it on your corn land, provid-
ed you allow week or two to elapse
before planting the corn. The lime
should be applied at the rate of about
twenty-five bushels per acre in order
to insure the best results, but if you
find it too expensive to use the whole
amount, suppose you use 1000 pounds.
If you can purchase the finely ground
lime at a reasonable cost you might
use it. You can broadcast it over the
land from wagon, distribute it
through a special drill made for dis
tribution of lime, or by means of a
manure spreader if you have one.
Lime is a very unpleasant thing to
apply unless you can put it into the
ground through drill. An ordinary
wheat drill will SOW the agricultural
lime" but not in large enough guam
titles to be beneficial unless you are
willing to so over the ground two or
three times, which makes the appli-
cation rather expensive and labor
ious. If you purchase the unslaked
lime you can put it in little piles at
suitable distances apart in the field
and cover lightly with earth. 1t will
then Stake or pulverize and you can
distribute it quite uniformly over the
ground with shoyel-Andrew M.

Britain's battIefelds. found an
Irishman on the La Boca fiat where
one of the monster dams is slowly
taking form, standing kneed deep in
oozy, shiny, tidewater mud, cursing
tearfully and eloQuently three de-
tached looking Jamaicans who, across
bit of creek, were theoretically
engaged in afaxing pile line to a
monster pile half buried in the
dreadful stuff. 1t was loathly hole,
and hardly inspiring to any man,
much less these slothful and easily
discouraged negroes. Far above them
was the pile driver, reaching out over
the end Of the long, slender trestle
which is the framework of the retain
ing wall of the structure, according
to the plans. The task of raising a

which he had to work, his patience

vitality and power of expression. He
was a pathetic figure, weak though
he proved, when the fire was hottest
fighting his lonely fight there in the
mud, striving to force into sem

barefooted forefathers before them
had trod the path Of least resistance
for SO long that 1t must have been
beaten hard as native trocha.
But that scene explained in part
the six weeks leave, the ample, fur
nished quarters and the host Of petty
privileges at whose seeming Of waste
fulness some thoughtless critics have
been so quick to strike. They earn 1t
