REAL DUTCH TO CELEBRATE
Queen Wilheimina's Birthday Calls For
Bio Outinu

New York, Aug. 1O.-The Dutch of
New York and New Jersey, along with
those of Holland descent, have com
pleted their arrangements for their
great "Stamdag," which is to be cele-
brated at Idlewild park, Little Falls,
N. j., on Aug. 26. The big feature of
the day is to be the patriotic observ-
ance of Queen Wilhelmina's birthday.
Many Of the celebrants have long
since become citizens of the United
States, but as the secretary of the
Nederlandsche Stamvereeniging, voor
de Staten New York en- New Jersey
puts it, these sons retain a fondness
for the customs and language of the
land of dikes and windmills, their
fatherland."
The Dutch band of Paterson is to
furnish the music. 1t is announced
that the association proposes to donate
rs per cent of the receipts of this
"Stamdag' to the Holland Home For
Aged Dependents at Paterson, N. ].

Farm Philosophy.

Education is our hope for better ag-
riculture. Let us advance every in
terest that will help the cause of edu-
cation.
Progress in farming is an individual
problem from the solution Of which
the state, the nation and the world
must benefit.
When planting trees about the house
set them quite distance off, say thir,
ty feet. Let the sunshine in and save
doctors bills.
One Of the first considerations in i'm,
proving country life and in reducing
the drudgery Of farm work is the ex
tensiVe use of improved farm machin
cry. Study your conditions and ex-
anime the implement catalogues for
the tools you need. Efficient imple
ments are the farmers capital and
usually bring profits when properly
used.

AGRICULTURAL.

Wayne county is not producing
or yielding what it should. There
are thousands of acres of land in
the county that is partially improved
and is allowed to remain idle when
it might be producing farm truck.
This is not true of all sections in the
county for many hundred tillers of
the soil are fast becoming educated
to scientific farming-the kind which
every farmer, sooner or later, will
acknowledge as being the only meth
cd of farming to produce results.
The different articles found else
where in this publication are sug-
gestions as to how the waste land
can be utilized and made to bear
fruit, raise cattle or yield crops.
Generally all schemes for develop
ment depend to a greater or less ex-
tent upon outside assistance. The
Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington, D. c., and also of Harrisburg,
Pa, from time to time issue bulle-
tins that are helpful to the farmer
and can be secured by asking.
The people who live upon the farm
must have confidence in themselves
and in their land. Such confidence
will come by instruction and assist
ance in developing their own fields
and pastures and the resulting bet
terment to their stock. The agricul-
tural opportunities offered Wayne
county are unequaled and the de-
velopment of same will place the
northeastern county of the keystone
state first in the production of ap-
pies, blooded cattle and all other
farm products.
There is a big demand for ruta-
bagas, the market is especially good
and cimmission merchants and 9TH
ers are always anxious to get Wayne
county rutabagas, owing to their
sweetness. More could be raised,
likewise winter cabbage.
With the advent of modern ma
chinery to till the soil, and take care
of the crops, more ground could be
cultivated and larger yields produc-
ed.
Start in the fall-plow some new
ground and keep on doing a little
more every year and you will soon
have your farm clear and money in
vested.

LIME ON The FARM.
Best Way to Test It Is to Try II on
Small Patch,

Best Way to Test It Is to Try II on
Small Patch.
Lime seems to be needed on parts
of most farms. 1t 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, accordAy to Pro
fessor Brooks Of the Massachusetts
experiment station. to find out wheth-
er lime will help the soil is to try it
on small plot in 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 if 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 it can be plowed. 1t
may be planted broadcast and worked
into the soil with q 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 for
water that is taken up when shaking
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 17S pounds
of raw limestone.
Lime can be slaked in small heaps
by applying just water enough to wet
the humps, using about two pailfuls of
water to 100 pounds of lime. After
few days it will have crumbled to a
powder. Most farmers slake the lime
before applying, as the unslaked 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 very cheap source Of lime, and 1t
can usually be had for the hauling.

A COMFORTABLE DWELLING.

as to fit into its surroundings. The
old fashioned farm home, with its air
of comfort and repose, is in better
taste than the modern bobtailed city
house is on the farm.
Farmhouses can be tasteful and
adapted to their location without being
expensive, and it pays to see that they
are So A tasteful home has a sale
value in the country just as it has any
where, and farmhouses should be built
with this idea in view.
Above all this, however, is the pleas
ure of living in a tasteful country
home, one that is adapted to its pur,
pose and fitted to its location. There
is a satisfaction here that is not reck-
oned in dollars, but is worth trying to
get.-National Stockman and Farmer.

A Good Chick Feed.

For a good cake for chicks as well as
fowls (and also for dogs) take about a
quart of cornmeal a pint of wheat
bran and a pint of flour. Mix with suf-
ficient sour milk to make batter Add
two teaspconfuls of soda stirred up il
a little sour milk and salt to taste.
The batter must not be made too thin,
nor should the cakes be allowed to
scorch. One big cake laid on the floor
each day will make the little chicks
grow beyond belief.

with such illustrations, that the

very well adapted to such conditions
But we are sorry to see that some Of

into the country. When set into the
wide space of farm they look out
of harmony with their surroundings.

adding color, says Mr.. Hull. There
is not as much sunshine in the East
as there is in the West but a fine
color can be obtained by properly
caring for the orchards of the coun-
ty. Whatever adds to the color also
adds to the flavor.
Now, that Wayne county is recog-
nized by the government as being es-
pecially adapted to the growing of
apples of superior quality of any
where in the United States, let the
farmers prove this statement by
taking advantage of their opportuni-
ties. 1t is hoped that several young
apple orchards will be set out next
spring. Don't make the mistake of
planting one kind of apple. Mix
them so the pollen will carry to 9th
