WHAT MUDTSUHITO ACCOMPLISHED

In July, 1912. I'm Tokyo, died a man
who was at once famous and unknown.
So utterly unknown was he, especially
to the Occident. that he was called by
the obsolete title of 1.-The Mikado."
The Japanese have ceased to cell the
sovereign ''Mikado'' for fifty years past.
There is many a public character
who must be bolstered up with adjec-
tives and man-made titles. Then there
happens along, once in a blue moon. a
doer of thines to whom it were the
height of impertinence..to add a single
stitch of embroidery, save a catalogue
of his own achievements. Nobody
thinks of calling Washington President

BY calling him General Bonaparte."

ure spreader May Be Used for Ap-
plying Lime
Mr.. o. C. Rostel, Marble, Washing
bon, writes as follows: please let
me know If our mountains Of lime
rock here in Stevens county could be
utilized for commercial fertilizer by
grinding it fine without first burning"
C1nburned but finely ground lime
stone is best for correcting soil acidity.
The use Of lime on soils is beneficial
In places where calcium is deficient.
Some crops require more calcium than
others. This is especially true Of
clovers, alfalfa, and other leguminous
crops.
Whether the soil requires calcium
depends upon its condition, and this
can be determined by M Of two
methods - either by a close examina.
ton Of the plant growth or by the use
Of Htmus paper. If you find horse
sorrel present in large quantities it
indicates that your soil requires
calcium; also, If clovers do not grow
we'll that is an indication that cal.
cium is lacking.
BY the use Of litmus papers, which
may be purchased at almost any drug
store, you will be able to determine
whether your soil is acid. Take q
small quantity of moist soil and press
it around the paper for ten or fifteen
minutes. If the blue paper is turned
to a pinkish or reddish color, it will
indicate that your soil is acid and an
application of lime will be beneficial.
There are several lat least ten) forms
OF commercial lime on the market.
The best form to s is finely ground
limestone. First: because 1t is cheap
est, and, second: the effect on the
humus is not so serious as with other
forms of lime-especially caustic or
quick lime. The action Of finely
ground limestone in its attack on the
vegetable matter is less noticeable
than with other forms of lime. The
amounts to apply depend on how badly
your soil requires calcium, and also
upon the available supply of lime
stone. We have known of instances
where as high as eight tons have been
applied to the acre with good results,
and as low as a ton or a ton and a half
has been used very satisfactorily.
The usual amount varies from three
to six tons to the acre. This material
should be supplied to the surface after
the seed bed is prepared, and narrowed
in by the use of a peg-tooth or disk
harrow. 1t may be scattered by the
use of a n %spreader; in fact, this
