LIME ON THE ?ARM.
N epst Way - Test Il b to Try It on

Lime seems to be needed on parts
Of most farms. 1t corrects sourness,
nellows heavy soils, helps light soils
~ 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 will help the soil is to try 1t
on q small plot in a Aeld to bA tested.
Apply twenty pounds Of fresh select
ed lime to two square rodG
Beets are a good test crop, as they
grow better upon lined plot II the
soil needed lime. An average OF about
one ton of lime to an acre will usually
be enough. 1t can be used at any sea
son when the land is not occupied by
crops and when 1t can be plowed. 1t
may be planted broadcast and worked
into the soil with 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 1t the
purchaser does not have to pay Tor
water that Is taken up when slaking
lime.
One hundred pounds of Quicklime
contains as much essential lime as 132
pounds Of slaked lime, thirty-two
pounds being moisture from the air.
and it contains as much as 178 pounds
Of raw limestone.
Lime can be slaked in small heaps
by applying just water enough to wet
the Jumps, using about two pailfuls OF
water to 100 pounds Of lime. After
few days 1t will have crumbled to
powder. Most farmers slake the lime
before applying. as the unsl@ked lime
is very disagreeable to use. even with
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 1t
can usually be had for the hauling.

THE PEOPLES PROPERTY.
Therefore Places Of Natural Beauty
Should Not ee DESTROYED.


1t has come to be regarded as set
tied that places Of great natural beau
ty or striking attractiveness properly
belong to all the people. There seems
to be a very general feeling, quite
marked Of late years, that such spots
are the common heritage Of all the
people, and If outside the permanent
public domain they must be purchased
and set aside for public use and enjoy
ment for all time.
Granting that the perpetual right to-
natural beauty is the Inheritance OF
all the people. we may argue that oil
wells. billboards and ugly buildings
and other structures may be sup
pressed or destroyed in the interests
of common gooS to all. We do not
:iold those men to be good citizens who
will needlessly mar our landscapes or
wantonly destroy natural beauty spots
that give richness and character to
our landscapes.

GOT IN BY ACCIDENT.

Time truly brings many changes
and in our brief career we have en-
deavored to so train ourselves that
such revolutions as might occur
might not unduly astound us, but we
must freely confess that our self con-
troll was dealt a body blow last week
when the Republican-Press carried
in it's columns a table headed "How
Reciprocity will Reduce the Cost of
Living" and containing list of many
of the necessary food products. Puz-
zled, and unable to understand the
sudden change of opinions we turn
to the head of the paper and find that
it still carries the name John H.
Funk, Editor But no, we will not
believe our senses. Surely it cannot
be our cherished contemporary, the
stand-pat, dyed-in-the-wool Iowa Re-
publican, John H. Funk, who not
many moons ago viciously attacked
us through his columns and held up
to scorn our ideas upon the tariff. 1t
cannot be this man has heard the
voice of the people and changed his
views on the tariff, and we anxiously
await his next issue for the explana<
ton of the accident. In the mean
time we shall endeavor to convince
ourselves that the good old Republic

feet the Cost of Living" is gospel.

THE BONDS CARRY.
Reports From 81 Counties Out of ia
Show Safe Majority for the
Capitol.

Jefferson City, Aug. 1.-The BOOM
ing of Col. Thomas Buerie's cannon
tonight announced the victory Of the
capitol bonds and at once Jefferson
City became a town of riotous scenes.
The streets were filled with thousands
of wildly cheering citizens. The
exultation Of Kansas City's North Side
over the defeat of the prohibition
amendment last fall was tame beside
the capitol city's rupture tonight.
The noise of horns and cowbells was
mingled with the heavy explosion of
giant firecrackers. The ghost shadow
of capitol removal had passed. JEFF
ferson City's ghost was dead.
jefferson City's vote today showed
intense interest in the bonds. In
Jefferson township 8, Ais votes were
cast for the proposition and one vote
against it, the largest vote by several
hundred that ever was polled here.
The one vote against the bonds was
cast by discharged employee at the
penitentiary.
The returns from over the state
were received at the jefferson City
Commercial Club and thrown upon a
screen. When the first returns indi-
Gated a victory for the bonds, the
celebration began. The crowd block

for new capitol was passed. Then

Philippine Independence Looms Ahead.
Speaker Champ Clark believes that
the United States should grant indie
pendence to the PHILIPPINES, "both
for their good and our own" Fur
thermore, Mr.. Clark advocates early
action on the subject. This is in con-
trast to the attitude of President Taft,
who takes the position the Philippines
should not be given independence
within the time of the present gen.
eration," which the Philippines inter-
pref as never.
Here is what Speaker Clark recent
ly wrote to a friend on the subject:
"The PHILIPPINES should be given
their independence guaranteed by the
United States and such other powers
as are willing to join us. If no other
powers are willing to join us, l think
our guarantee would be sufficient,
but am for freeing them regardless
of what the other powers do. My
friend, Judge Cline, of Indiana, has
introduced bill providing for their
independence. think we will pass
it next, winter, and then it will be up
to the Senate and the President"
Why not Roosevelt Investigation?
During the present auditing by the
Democratic House of the Republican
administrations for the last decade, it
wouldn't be out of place to look into
the Roosevelt Hartman episode. The
late railroad king raised 500, 900 at
Roosevelt's request to save New
York for the Republicans in the
Roosevelt-P Parker campaign.
Republican Chaos.
The Republicans are literally up in
the air, their old time stand-bys,
props and policies all shake in the
Democratic upheaval. Reciprocity
has helped Taft, of course, but the
Republicans have always won on
protection. Taft has abandoned pro-
lection and the result is a matter of
speculation.

Washington, July 81. - Another
step toward carrying out the cam
paign pledges was taken by the ma
jority of the House of Representa-
tives when it adopted cotton sched-
ule which greatly reduces the tax on
all kinds of cotton goods.
If the Republican Senate and Pres
ident Taft will permit the bill to be-
come a law, the public will be assur-
ed of substantial reductions in prices.
The bill is so framed as to be a partic-
ular boon to the poor, for the greatest
reductions are made on cottons used
by the middle classes and the poor.
This feature of the Democratic bill is
in particularly striking contrast to the
Payne-Aldrich law, which levies the
lowest rates on the grades of cottons
used by the wealthy and the highest
tax on the cottons used by the poor.
The Payne-Aldrich tax of 5Q02 per
cent on ready-made clothing and ar
ticles of wearing apparel of every de-
scripion composed of cotton or veg
etable fibre is reduced to 80 per cent
