Making tho Chances Even.

In days when tavern brawls in Eng.
land were frequent and swords were
out on the slightest provocation COM
mon fairness demanded that the blades
OF chance combatants should be OF
equal length In a sudden ARRAY
there would be no thought of measur-
ing swords, so the authorities took the
matter into their own hands at the
gates Of the city of London. where
every gallant was liable to be chaI-
lenged. and If the public official found
any blade beyond thirty-six inches the
smith stood by to snap off the steel to
the required length. In Queen Eliza
beth's reign this WAS the common
practice.

in that direction. Leaning over, he

"God Bless Our Wives.U

One of the best known lawyers in
Cleveland attended banquet of his
fraternity the other night and re-
sponded to the toast, Our Wives"
On this classic and congenial theme
he expanded and fairly glowed. But
even after his eloquence fades from
the memories of those present, one
personal note will remain. He said,
in part:
God bless our wives! They know
us from Alpha to Omega, our secret
faults and virtues But they rise in
arms against him who would expose
the former or belittle the latter How
well l remember an occasion upon
which my own dear wife had me
PACED in restaurant where | was
eating. She said to the waiter, Is
Mr.. Dashblank here?' 'Mr. Dash
blank?' asked the waiter. is he that
fat old man with a red nose and
bald head?'
Ives, that's the man. answered
my wife. But l want you to under.
stand that he isn't fat and he isn't
old. And he's not very bald, either.
shall report you for your insolence.
His nose isn't bit red. Get him for
me at once-you evidently know him.
God bless our wives"

to articulate finally, "am dis sho' yo',

of slaves back of them, the lowering
of the coffin, and the hollow sound Of
earth falling on the box; and Neb. hts
Aunt Cations house servant, a black
imp of good hcmor, who begged so
hard TO be taken back with him to the
war. Why, the boy had held his stir
rup the next morning when he rode
away. The sudden rush of recollec-
ton seemed to bridge the years, and
that black face became familiar, a
memory of home.
"Of course, l remember, Neb," he
exclaimed, eagerly, but that's all
years ago and 1 never expected to see
you again. What brought you West

The negro hitched up onto the
bench, the whites of his eyes conspic-

had a short, squatty figure, with ex-
cessively broad shoulders, and face
of intense good humor.

LADY is HEAVY CONSUMER
She Is Supported by the Toll of 9th
ers, Who Acquiesce CheerfuIiy to
the Condition.

Economically the lady is supported
by the toll of others, but while this is
equally true of other classes OF soc1-
ETY., the oddly of her case consists OF
the acquescence of those most con-
cerned. The lady herself feels no I'M
easiness in her equivocal situation,
and the toilers who support her do
so with enthusiasm. She is not pro-
Queer; in most communities produc-
tive labor Is by consent unladyl1ke.
On the other hand, she is the heaviest
of consumers.
The women of the working classes
have been saved by their work itself.
In the shop and the factory they have
learned what the nursery can teach.
But the lady has had no social train
ing whatever; the noticeable weak
ness of her play at bridge is a tend
ency to work for her own hand. AS
the gentleman decays, the lady sur
wives as the strongest evidence OF his
former predominance. Where he set
her, there she stays. One after an
other the fabrics that supported her
have tottered, but she remains, adapt
ing herself to each new set of circum-
stances as it arises. 1t is possible that
an advancing social sentiment will ex-
tinguish her altogether, but she can
never be forgotten.

PIMPlES COVERED HIS BACK

my troubles began along in the
summer in the hottest weather and
took the form of small eruptions and
itching and kind of smarting pain.
1t took me mostly all over my back

my back was covered with a mass of
pimples which would burn and itch at
night so that could hardly stand it.

tanned yields of carrots ranging from
800 to 600 bushels, and of rutabagas,
from 800 to 1,400 bushels per acre,
on mixed sand and clay loan soil.
From Washburn county comes the
following report giving the returns
per acre: Rutabagas. yield about 600
bushels per acre, average price 30
cents per bushel, cost of producing
about $40 per acre. Squash will net
about $40 peracre. Onions yield from
200 to 400 bushels per acre and sell
for from 60 cents to So per 100 pounds.
They cost $40 per acre to raise. Cab
bage usually net about 500 per acre.
These results were obtained by an ex,
perienced grower on sandy loan soil.
S. d. Seavey of Bayfield, county, re-
ports returns as follows: "Rutabagas
will produce as high as 500 bushels
per acre with a little manure applied
to the land. / have sowed rutabagas

These results were obtained on sandy

On clay land on the Superior Sub
Station farm, yields Of 400 bushels of
rutabagas have been obtained. There
is no doubt that there exists good OPP
portunities for vegetable gardening in
many localities ir northern Wisconsin.
The region adjoining Lake Superior
probably offers the best inducements.
Not only is the market excellent, but
there is an ample supply of manure
available for fertilizing the land and
improving it's texture.

TESTING SOILS FOR
ACID AND THE CURE
BY PROF. A. r. WHlTSON,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.

Acidity in soils, while not directly
Injurious itself to most crops, is not
a condition of fertility, and usually in
dicates a need of phosphates. Es-
pecially is it detrimental to the growth
of clovers, in that it does not favor
the development of the bacteria form
ing nodules in their roots, which Tx
the nitrogen from the air. Clay loan
soils, the organic matter of which has
been almost exhausted, should be kept
in as favorable condition for the
growth of clover as possible, and the
neutralizing of any acidity is one OF
the most important factors.
A simple test to determine whether
or not soil is acid is as follows. Get
five cents worth of blue litmus paper
from your local druggist and go into
field soon after a rain, while the sur
face soil is still quite moist. With
clean Jack knife cut a slit into the
earth and in this slit insert a sheet OF
this blue litmus paper, pressing the
soil firmly around it. After five min
utes have elapsed, examine the paper
carefully and If the blue color Is
changed to pink or red. it is indica-
tive of an acid condition. Care should
be taken in handling the litmas paper
that the portion used for the test does
not come in contact with the persplr-
ing hand, because perspiration is also
acid and consequently will have the
same effect on the color OF the paper
as an acid soil has.
It has been customary in agricul-
tural practice in older countries to use
freshly Stacked, burned lime for this
purpose. While this neutralizes the
acidity, 1t also tends to burn out the
organic matter too rapidly. On the
other hand, where lime carbonate such
as finely ground unburned limestone,
mari. or refuse lime from the sugar
beet factories, Is used, there is no
danger of applying too much or or
causing the burning out Of the organic
matter Of the soil. On such lands
which show reddening OF sensitive

five minutes, the use of half tone OF
ground limestone or mari or ton OF
refuse lime from the sugar beet FAC
tories as a beginning treatment, and
the REPETITION of that amount every SIX
or eight years will probably keep soils
In ordinary farm rotation practically
free from acidity.
Mari is abundant in this state ana
is an excellent source of lime carbon
ate for use on our acid soils. Where
the mari is moist, more must be ap-
piled than when in dry form. Re-
fuse lime from the sugar beet fac
tories usually contain 40 to so per
cent. of moisture as handled, but can
ordinarily be had for the cost of haul
ing from the sugar beet factories.
The peat soils Of the central and
northern part of the state are ordin-
arily so intensely acid that it is out
of the question to neutralize them
with lime. Moreover, their abundant
supply of nitrogen containing organic
matter makes 1t unnecessary to take

Biccest Poultry Center.

Pataluma, Cal, is the center OF
what is said to be the greatest poultry
industry in the United States. The dis
trict covered lies about fifty miles
north of San Francisco, and occupies
level country between the noun
tains. In the territory named 10000
900 dozen eggs were produced last
year. The poultry business there is
not carried on by women and chill
dren but is, as a rule, conducted by
men who devote their entire time to
it. 1t is not uncommon to see one
man with a flock of 5000 laying hens
on his place and several dozen incu-
bators. Great care and intelligence
are used in the handling Of these i'm
mense poultry farms. The total pro-
duction of eggs and poultry in this
district last year, 1910, according to
records, amounted to 100000.
