INGREDIENTS OF PERFUMES.
Combinations Of Chemicals Used In
Imitation Of Flower Extracts.


There are few perfumes today that
cannot be made from chemicals. syn

merly all perfumes were extracted from
flowers, fruits. spices. woods or other
vegetable and animal substances.
The first perfume to be initiated was
vanilla. in 1875. Heliotrore followed,
being obtained by oxidation Of a by
product Of camphor. Terpinol is one Of
the most freely used constituents of
perfumes. This is a near relation to
~turpentine.

Most Of the cheap perfumes are iml-

LIME AND OTHER THINGS.
If Your Soil Needs Lime IL Probably
Requires Other Elements Also.

Nearly all soils which need lime need
other elements also. In the Indiana
cooperative tests lime alone has SCI
dom produced any marked results. In
some instances phosphorus is also
needed. in others nitEogen and hu.
mus, while other soils require drainage
and aeration as well. A study Of the
crops growing on land may furnish al,
the evidence needed to determine what
the soil requires. Poor success with
clover and the growth Of red sorrel or
deWberries in thick pat' hes in the field
indicate an acid soil. This. Of course
does not signify that there may not he
other causes contributing to the clover

of two tons per acre. harrow 1t in be

of nitrogen.
Quicklime is cauStic in its action and.
very destructive to organ'c matter.
Its continued use therefore demands
continued heavy applications Of or
@anic material and to a less degree OF
phosphorus and potash. Ground lime
stone Is slower in its action, but has
not the u~nfayorable features OF caustic
lime.-Orange Judd Farmer.

out and had the body bought to the

and "A jury sworn in. A post NOR
TEN examination OF the body was

that the baby had been born alive,
and there was bruise across the

by blow. The body indicated that

A DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.

A distressing accident occurred
last Thursday morning in which the
little two-year old child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Leslie Hardy of Cantwell was
killed. Mrs. Hardy and her sister.
in-law, Mrs. Collins Hardy, with
the child, had started on visit In
0ne-horse buggy. As they were
driving along near the Doss ford, II
shackle clip on the shaft came
loose, causing the shaft to drop and
frighten the horse, which started
on run. Terribly frightened and
expecting to be thrown out every
minute the mother thought to save
the child by pitching it out of the
buggy, but unfortunately she did
not pitch it clear of the wheels and
one of the rear wheels passed over
the child's head crushing its skull
from which death resulted in about
an hour. Both women were thrown
from the buggy but neither of them
was badly injured. The mother is
frantic with grief over the distress
ing affair.
