Speaks Badly for Protection.

Wether free wool would result in
paralyzing the sheep-growing indus
try in Texas and the Southwest, as
asserted by the vice-president of the
Texas sheep and goat raisers' asso-
citation, we do not know. What
everybody who has looked into the
matter does know is that the sheep
in Texas have decreased good deal
more than rs per cent, although
there have been high duties on wool
for all but three of the last 80 years.
That is a poor recommendation of
protection. Banker and Tradesman.

Ours was the largest civilian party

was considered as an international

us the Japanese felt that they were

seen in our own land. Usually the
stars and stripes and the rising sun
we're crossed and waved together.
In return for this royal welcome we
left trail Of gold across the empire

Nagasalxi with frequent digressions.
The representatives of the tourist de-
partment of the Hamburg-American
line had already gone over the ground
and made every provision for our com
fort. The twenty-five years expert
ence in organizing such trips was a
guarantee of our complete comfort
Those who came by the Cleveland in
stead of by rail arrived at the dock.
They we're greeted by the mayor, who
shook hands with every one, while a
thousand Japanese college boys and
girls, with waving flags and playing
band, gave us a noisy welcome. The
long narrow principal street was
bright with Japanese and American
flags.
Nagasakf also received us enthusiasts
tically We found the city very at
tractive Many took delightful rides
in iinrikishas over the mountain
roads. The night the Cleveland sail
ed from Japan a feast Of lanterns"
was given in our honor At least 20
600 men and boys. every one carrying
lighted Japanese lantern, marched
along the streets near the harbor.
From the ship It appeared like NOV
ing mass of light. AS our ship lifted
anchor and we sailed away this great
army with their colored lights wound
up around the mountain roads like a
long serpent of fire. It was the most
beautiful exhibition on our trip, and 1t
was a most appropriate sayonara from
delightful Japan.

great area surrounding the palace has
been converted into parks and public
grounds, and about them has been
erected a largo number of govern
iuept buildings In this central gov
ernmental district is a very excellent
foreign hotel
To see the extremes of life in a
Japanese city a few of us visited the
slums Of Tokyo. "Show us the worst
place in Tokyo" we said to the guide.
The guide quickly Strengthened up and
exclaimed, Pride of my country for
bids" Finally conserving, he led us
for about half an hour through the
lower quarter of the city until we
reached the real slums. Here the
streets we're too narrow to admit our
jinrikishas. In this labyrinth, the
houses are frame and one story high,
with usually a little dooryard behind
high fence.
After removing our shoes we enter
ed a small house of four rooms, mono
of which we're over 6 by feet in size
Our ashamed guide asked if it was
much worse than the slums of New
York or San Francisco. We told hin
that It suggested paradise in com
/ parison. The house was one story
high and built of bamboo and paper
The inmates had plenty Of fresh air

The most interesting features of
views, but the curious things Jap
anese seen. When We mounted our
jinrikisha the first time we felt as
self conscious as If we were riding
in a baby carriage down Broadway.
The shops next concentrate the at
tention of the visitor. Shopping IN
Japan is poetry. In Yokohama it soon
becomes a mania. Yokohama is the
most fascinating shopping city in the
world, partly on account of the deli
cate, artistic beauty and cheapness of
the goods and patty on account of
the ceremonial politeness of the shop
keepers. In stores less frequented by
foreigners the old custom of remov-
ing ones shoes at the door, of being
served with tea from daintily painted
cups and drinking it with girl clerks
before examining the goods is still
maintained. After this hypnotic cere-
mony the customer is ready to buy
anything at any price.
Japanese children are we'll worth
observing. The babies are the best
babies in the world They never
cry. What a disturbance would al
American baby with lusty lungs create

LIME ON THE FARM.
Best Way TO Test Il Is TO Try II OF
Small Patch.

Best Way 70 Test II ls TO Try II on
Small Patch.
Lime seems "a be needed on parts
Of most farm4t It corrects sourness,
mellows heavy soils. helps light soils
to retain moisture, favors the growth
OF clover and alfalfa and checks the
increase of some plant diseases. The
most certain way, according to Pro
fessor Brooks OF the Massachusetts,
experiment station, TO find out wheth-
er lime win help the soil is TO try It
on a small plot in a field to be tested.
Apply twenty pounds Of fresh select
ed lime to two square rods.
Beets are a good test crop, as they
grow better upon a lined plot II the
soil needed lime. An average Of about
one ton OF lime TO an acre win usually
be enough. It can be used at any sea
son when the land is not occupied by
crops and when it can be plowed. II
may be planted broadcast and worked
into the soil with a harrow.
Professor Brooks has been LOOKING
up various sources OF lime in New
England markets, and he finds that It
varies considerably in cost and desir-
ability. Quicklime is really the cheap
est form, because when buying it the
purchaser does not have to pay fol
water that is taken up when shaking
lime.
One hundred pounds Of quicklime
contains as much essential lime as 49,
pounds of slaked lime, thirty-two
pounds being moisture from the air.
and it contains as much as 17s pounds
OF raw limestone.
Lime can be slaked in. small heaps
by applying just water enough to wet
the Jumps, using about two psilfuls Of
water to 100 pounds of lime. After
few days It win have crumbled to a
powder. Most farmers slake the lime
before applying, as the unslalSed lime
is very disagreeable TO use. even with
a manure spreader protected with bur
lap.
Finely ground limestone or mari
works well on light soils, but ground
limestone costs more for the results
obtained as compared with quicklime.
Sometimes refuse lime from tanneries
is a very cheap source Of lime, and il
can usually be had for the hauling.
