that the first play he ever saw inn

WAYS TO CURE PEAvINE HAY
Where Grass is Allowed to Remain
Spread on Ground Water Runs on
Without lnIurins Crop.

We have tried several ways of cur
ing peavine and other kinds of hay.
says farm writer. but the way we
now practice is to let hay lie just as
the machine cuts it until it is about
cured. OF we get ready to haul 1t in.
Don't get scared II it rains or your
hay. Rain will not hurt hay very
much, only IN appearance, ST it gets
wet before it is raked into windows
or piled up in email piles.
We used to think that rain would
ruin hay, but about six years ago one
morning / moved a field of peas.
cane md crabgrass That same day
another one of my neighbors cut hay.
and after two days OF sunshine there
set i. wet spell Of about two weeks.
My neighbor, having plenty of help,
raked his hay and piled it in small
piles. but l did not have help and did
not touch mine. The result was this:
At the end Of two weeks my neigh
boris hay piles were wet through and
rotten. l examined my hay and decid-
ed that it was worth saving, so raked
it up and everything ate it very we'll.
Since then l do not get so scared when
/ see cloud coming up, because if
hay is spread on the ground the
water viii pass through it to the
ground. But if it is punched up and
gets wet it is almost sure TO turr
black and rot.

LIME NOT HARMFUL TO SOIL.
idea That Injury Is Done by Appica-
ton Is Utter Absurdity, Says
Indiana Bulletin.

The utter absurdity Of the idea that
the use of ton or two of limestone
per acre may seriously injure the soil
says an Indiana bulletin, becomes at
once apparent when it is recalled that
limestone soils are world famous for
their fertility, and have been for gen
erations. The real trouble with some
of the soils in our eastern states
which are said to have been injured
by the use of lime is lack of organic
matter and nitrogen as much as any
thing else.
This lack of organic matter and
nitrogen is traceable, in both cases,
mainly to poor rotations or none at
all, poor care of manure or the produc-
ton of an insufficient amount, and
burning or selling straw and slower
and the final results seem to have
been largely independent of the use
or nonuse of lime. This statement
must not be taken to mean that lime
never exerts an unfavorable effect, but
rather that a good part of the unfa-
vorable effect sneral attributed
to it is in reality Tie to poor methods
of farming.
Lime is simply made convenient
excuse, a scapegoat, just as is COM
mercial fertilizer in certain sections,
and with no more reason.
