beyond the reach of the growing
plant 1t also forms an important
food material for the lower organ
isms in the soil, and thereby favors
the processes of nitrifcation and
other bacterial changes which are ex-
tremely beneficial to the growing
crop.
In recent years the Importance OF
maintaining a proper balance between
the various elements of plant food,
including those elements which are
generally considered as less essential,
is being more extensively recognized,
and lime is one Of the principal
agencies in maintaining this balance
between the different elements. It's
efficiency in this connection depends
both upon its capacity Of neutraliz-
ing acid radlcles with which some OF
the other elements of plant food are
combined. and also, in preventing
an injurious action Of some of the
other basic elements when present
in excess, particularly potash and
magnesia.
This statement will perhaps fur
nish a brief outline of the ways in
which lime may be beneficial when
applied to agricultural soils.-W. w.

Don't Neglect the Yard and Home
Grounds.


BY all means have a grass-covered
yard about the house and keep it neat
and clean. Flowers are useful in
character-bullding in the home, but
do not make the front yard a neg
lected flower garden. Bank or set
the flowers together near the house,
or against the fence or grow them
IN separate plot outside the front
yard. The proper growth for the
front yard are grass and trees, and
not too many OF the latter, which
should be planted some distance from
the house.
Il Is beyond the understanding
Of the writer why so many, especially
in the rural sections of the South,
rossess such a mortal fear and bitter
hatred Of grass. If it by chance
attempts 20 grow near the house, It
Is at once attacked, dug uD, eXter-
minated, and a bare yard of sand or
clay left, to be swept when convent
ent -- a barren, desolate, ugly sight,
where nature would put a beautiful
green sward, If permitted to do so.
The grass can be cut with less labor
than the bare earth can be kept
clearly swept. We hope no country
doctor is responsible for the ride
ulous and false idea that the grass is
unhealthful. Grass Ia natures pro-
lection for the bare, ugly soil and a
yard covered with growing grass that
is regularly cut is a better condition
from the standpoint Of beauty or
health. OF course, the grass should
be kept cut short, but as stated this
can be done with less labor than the
bare clay or sand can be kept clean.
1t is also a mistaken idea that mos
quitoes and flies bred in tall grass.
Mosquitoes breed only in stagnant
water and house flies in horse stable
manure. Remove these and DO away
with both, but by all means let the
grass grow over the front yard and
add at least one touch of Natures
beauty to the place.
When boys and girls go away from
home and find other homes more
beautiful and attractive than their
own, there will be less desire to re-
tuED. To prevent the boys and girls
leaving the farms we must remove

ETIQUETTE OF THE TELEPHONE.
Telephones are now in such COM
mon usage, in private life as we'll as
in business, that 1t would seem as IL
everybody ought TO know how to han
die one and how not to abuse so
great convenience.
But many do not seem to.
Women In particular, probably be-
cause their voices are, as a rule, thin
ner and higher pitched than the av-
GRACE mans, commonly speak in tones
that reverberate and set up a con-
fusing sound.
1t is a common fault, too to shout
through the phone as IL the transit
ton of the message depended on the
noise made.
In using the telephone remember
that your voice does not actually
have to carry to the other end of the
wire. 1t is simply reproduced there.
Consequently, you needn't scream.
Just speak in low, distinct voice,
and low and distinct voice will be
reproduced at the other end.
Here are some rules of telephone
etiquette it might be we'll to master:
Never telephone to a private house
too early in the morning or too late
at night. The hours are governed by
the customs of the household.
Never telephone during meal hours.
Never use the phone Of a person
Of slender means without at least Of
fering to pay for its use.
Employees should never use the
wire in business Office for long and
protracted conversations with per-
sonal friends.
Don't forget that even II you are
no. seen across the telephone wire
you are probably being overheard by
third party, and possibly by others.
Don't shout out your private affairs
I over a public telephone.
Don't, when some one is speaking
at the telephone within your hearing,
stop your conversation, Go on talk
ing or get out of hearing distance.
Don't talk for effect. Your con-
versation may be amusing to the
friends beside you, but will prove puz-

Dairy Hints.

War on germs! Hot water and
soapy cold water and sunshine, light
and air-keep it up forever. Wash
the udder, wash the milk vessel, wash
on, and keep a-washing, and rinsing,
and drying.
And especially the churn. Scald
out with strong soda and water &C.
casfonally to keep it sweet.
Rub out your wire strainers often
with lump salt to clean out the dried
particles of milk; then wash and dry
to prevent rust.
The incest receptacle for milk is
stone or glass jars With lids to fit
snug. Never keep milk in tins or
wooden pals.
In dressing butter be careful to
thoroughly work out all the milk or
water before sailing away. This pre-
vents butter from souring,. moulding,
or turning pink-spotted When you
have real stale butter put 1t into a
two-gallon churning of strong salty,
clean water and churn, just as you
would for fresh butter. Then take 1t
urAand dress it, and you will be sur
prised to find it almost freshened.-

OLD FASHION REVIVED.

The maid of olden times used to 20
singing, "Bayberry candles burnt to
the socket bring luck to the house and
gold to the pocket" as she searched
Held and hedgerow for the fragrant
berry of the bay, with which to mold
with her own hands two Bayberry
dips, one for herself and one for her
lover over the sea. Then on an ap-
pointed night, when the dips were
lighted, the incense from the candles
was supposed to drift together, a
symbol of the unity of their love, thus
IMPLYING the blending Of their des-
TIMES.

As early as 1854 a Swedish natural
Isl, travelling In America, wrote the
following account of Rayberry can

berries of which they make a kind
OF wax or tallow, and for that reason
the Swedes call it the tallow shrub.
Inc English call the same tree the
Cfndleberry tree or Bayberry bush;
lltgrows abundantly in a wet soil and
seems to thrive we'll in the neighbor-
mood ohthe sea.
The berries look as If flour had
peen strewn on them. They are
gathered late in the autumnA being
ripe about that time, and are'thrown
into kettle of boiling water; by this
means their fat melts out, floats on
