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

The utter absurdity of the idea that
the use of a 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 n
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, n
burning or selling straw n slower,
and the final results e to have
been largely independent Of the use
or nonuse of lime. This statement
must not be taken to e that lime
never exerts an unfavorable effect, but
rather that a good part of the unfa-
vorable effect general attributed
to it is in reality u to poor methods
of farming.
Lime is simply made a convenient
excuse, a scapegoat, just as Is COM
mercial fertilizer in certain sections,
and with no more reason.

WAYS TO CURE PEAvINE HAY
Where Grass 10 Allowed to Remain
Spread on Ground Water Runs on
Without lnJurln9 Crop.

We have tried several ways Of cur
ing peavine and other kinds Of hay.
says a farm writer, but the way we
now practice is to let hay lie just as
the machine cuts 1t until it is about
cured, or we get ready to haul it In.
Don't get scared if 1t rains on your
hay. Rain will not hurt hay very
much. only in appearance" II 1t gets
wet before it Is raked into windows
or piled up in small piles.
We used t o think that rain would
ruin hay, but about six years age n
morning l 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 in a wet spell OF about two weeks.
My neighbor, having plenty Of help,
raked his hay and piled 1t in small
piles, but / did not have help and did
lot touch mine. The result was this:
At the end of two weeks my neigh.
boris hay piles were wet through and
rotten. / examined my hay and decid-
ed that it was worth saving. SO raked
1T up and everything ate 1t very well.
Since then I do not get SO scared when
l see a cloud coming up, because IL
hay is spread on the ground the
water will pass through 1t to Ii
ground. But If it is punched up and
gets wet it is almost sure to turn
black and rot.

A sona Book Saved His Life.

At the battle of Peach Orchard,
when Mcclellan was making his
change of base, a Michigan infantry
man fell to the ground as If shot
dead, and was left lying in a heap as
the regiment changed position. The
bullet hat had hit him first struck
the barrel of his gun, then glanced
and struck off a button of his coat,
tore the watch out Of his vest pocket
and struck the man just over the
heart, where it was stopped by a song
book in his shirt pocket. He was I'M
conscious for th~ree-quarters of an
hour, and it was a full month before
the black and blue spot disappeared.
At Pittsburg Landing a member Of
the Twelfth Michigan infantry stopped
to give a wounded man a drink from
his canteen. While in this act a bull
let aimed at his breast struck the
canteen and buried itself in the leg of
a horse. The canteen vas split open
and dropped to the ground in halves.

BACK TO FINISH SENTENCE
Conscience Of Fugitive Drives Him to
Return to the Indiana
State Prison.

Laporte, Ind.-Driven by the still,
small voice Of conscience to come out
in the open after being a fugitive from
the law for eight months, Ora Ed.
redge of Monticello arrived at the
Michigan City prison to begin a term
of two to fourteen years.
About a year age, following the
death of his father-in-law. Eldredge
signed the ~latter's name to $780, 900 in
notes which he expected to be able
to meet before they came due. He
miscalculated, however, and when the
notes matured he fled the country,
succeeding in getting over a large por-
ton of the United States and Canada
without being apprehended.
Last week he says hat he was tor
tured by his conscience, with the re.
suit that he came to Francesville and
telephoned the sheriff of White county
TO come and get him. After a short
trial, at which he pleaded guilty, he
a brought to prison.
He Is said to be worth about $780,.
900 and was one of the most highly
respected citizens of Monticello.
