she turned out, Other people in
town besides the lawyer knew what a
savory article it was, and year by
year her trade reached out till it lar
outgrew a mere locality. To-day,
instead Of coming from her own
kitchen, it is produced from a splend-
idly equipped factory. Still it is no
factory product, except as to bulk.
Every pound is perfectly seasoned
and blended as when she ground the
meat and wrapped it with her own
hands. The sausage bought the old
Dearborn homestead back again, and
she lives there in luxury paid for by
her own earnings. There is no
secret about the sort Of success
which came to her, says Isabel Cord
on Curtis. who relates this incident in
Success Magazine" She simply
did what she could do best. Still the
little lady who teaches dancing looks
down on the Dearborn sausage factory

ACTION OF LIME.

The chemical action of lime in
soils is very striking. 1t decom-
poses the dormant mineral plant
food, and thus renders available for
the plant phosphoric acid and pot
ash, which otherwise would remain
inert in the soil. 1t acts on the
vegetable organic matter in the soil
and converts part of it into nitro
gen compounds available for the
plant. 1t is very effective in sweet
eniag sour lands, and thus binders
more disease crops in such soil; it
especially improves the quality of
heritage. 1t enables crops to make
the best use Of supcrphosphate, dis
solved bones, sulphate Of ammonia
and other soluble manufactured
chemical manurcs, preventing any
excess of acid in such manures from
exercising an injurious effect in the
