Suggested Treatment for Acid Soils
In the car of exhibits on the DEM
onstration train. that was recently run
over the main and branch lines of the
Northern Pacific railway the depart
ment of agricultural chemistry placed
few samples of soil that are typical
of extensive areas now being brought
into cultivation in both north and
south Idaho. The exhibit was placed
there and used with the very definite
purpose of illustrating by concrete
example what is meant by acid, aka
Ii, and neutral soils. The demonstrate
or explained that an acid condition in
the soil is generally recognized as UNI
favorable to the highest development
of cultivated crops; what conditions
give rise to acidity in soils; and how
by simple test an acid condition
can be recognized by the farmer him
self. For the benefit of those who
were interested in the exhibit, but
failed to secure all the information de-
sired, we repeat here substantially
what was said in the car.
The Litmus Paper Test.
This is the test recommended by
Professor Hopkins of the Illinois sta
ton and used by practical farmers in
eastern states where lining has been
very beneficial. Secure from your To-
cal druggist small vial of blue lit
mus paper. Make ball of the fresh,
moist soil, break it in two, place one
or two strips of the paper in one of
the freshly broken surfaces, press the
two parts together again, and set aside
for Is or 20 minutes. If, on exami-
nation, the paper has changed in color
from blue to red, the sample tested is
acid in reaction. The soil it repre-
sents stands in need of "sweetening."
An acid condition results from the ac-
emulation of acid organic COM
pounds common in decaying organic
matter. 1t would seem therefore that
deep blowing, and thorough cultiva-
ton would tend to alleviate that con-
dition; first, by causing a further de-
composition of the harmful COM
pounds themselves, and, second, by
the formation of an additional amount
of limestone calcium carbonate)
from the difficulty soluble calcium

LIGHTS In HAIR IS
SENSATION

CHICAGO, April 3-The trim hob
bic gowns are hopeIessly doomed, and
in their place this season comes the
panier gown. Three thousand dress
makers from all parts OF the United
States. now assembled here. are en-
thusiastic over the panier, which is
admitted to be the forerunner OF
hoopskirts. In two years. at the
latest. they predict, the wide hoop
skirt will be the rage
In millinery the most startling nov
city this season will be tiny electric
lights in the hair. These are operated
by very small. fiat storage battery
worn in the corsage and highly deco
rative in itself because of its artistic
design and jeweled effect The light
bulbs represent various tinted flow
ers and are very fetching when ar
ranged in the couture. Another pat
tern carries the storage battery In the

UNUSUAL INTEREST IN
APPROACH OF SPRING

Robin Redbreast has arrived from
the South with a message announc-
ing that the mirds are migrating
northward and this is one Of the first
signs of spring People are more
interested in the coming of warmer
weather this season than for many
years. This is due to the fact that
the winter of 1911-12 was the most
severe on record in this part Of the
country.
An important sign Of the dawn Of
spring is the appearance of dande-
lion. The last few days hundreds of
people went in search of this plant.
Driving through the country or rid
ing in a train or trolley car one may
see, almost everywhere, men, women
and children in fields gathering dan
delion. The belief exists that this
plant is the best spring tonic one
can take
The ground last winter was frozen
at some places to a depth of from
four TO FIVE feet Local weather
prophets predict that warm weather
this year will appear Slowly and
when it prevails it will not be only
for a day, but that it will be last
ing"
Call of the Cricket.
The call of the cricket may be heard
IN the evening when one strolls along
a country road near a stream. This
Is one of natures creatures heralding
the springtime. The recent thunder
showers were declared by some to be
the awakening OF spring

GOOD ROADS
DEVELOPMENT
100000 More Miles Needed
10 Give Country Better
system

That the nationwide movement for
the Improvement OF the public roads
involves large undertaking is lndl-
Gated by information just made pub-
lie by the u. 5. department Oh Agrl-
culture. Secretary Wilson shows
that 900 miles of road must DO
improved before the public road sys-
item can be considered really efhclent.
1t is only within recent years that
the movement tor better roads has
gained force The consequences ot
delay are shown in the fact that there
are now but 19O, ,476 miles of improved
roads in this country. These improved
roads constitute see per cent OF the
total mileage of all public roads, i'm
proved and unmproved. II is hg-
urcd that the percentage will have
TO be increased to 20 before traffic
can be moved throughout the country
with the minimum of wear and tear
on horses, wagons, and automobiles.
The French system of roads, long
considered the best in the world, was
bonded by Napoleon III for six mil
lion dollars. and something in the
neighborhood of S6l2,775,000 has al
ready been spent on that system. In
this country, owing to the great dist
ances. it is probable that close to ST.
1000. 600 900 will have to be spent be-
fore a proper road system is de-
veloped.
While the amount necessary to per-
feet a great road system seems fab
lously large, it does not seem so large
when it is divided among the various
states and spread over period of five,
ten. or fifteen years. When it is con-
lsidered that New York State has bond
led itself for S50,000,000, and that $5,
100000 a year is now being expended
by that state, il will be seen that
nationwide system might soon be
perfected were all states to progress
as rapidly.
New York heads the list of states
which have made the greatest pro-
gress in road building between 1904
and 1909 That state has built 6.9l1
miles of new road in that period
Georgia is second, and has built 4,S44
miles of road in the five years. The
gain in Georgia is largely attributed
to the use of $500 prisoners on the
public roads of the State. South
Carolina. Alabama, and Florida have
also made great gains by building sand
clay roads, and this is a very cheap
and satisfactory type of road build
ing.
Gen. T. Colemn DUPONT is now en-
gagged in building a POP mile road in
y Delaware, at a cost Of nearly $4,000
900.

TRAIN STOPS WHEN
MONKEYPULLSROPE

GRAND JUNCTION, COL April 81
But for the timely discovery of the |
real cause of the "spook' orders they
received to stop the train the train
men of the Rio Grande passenger train
to oMntrose would have deserted their
work in a panic and forced the pas
sengers to take charge
Just after the southbOund passenger
left Grand Junction the train came
to such a sudden stop as to throw the
passengers out Of their seats. Believ-
ing that they had barely escaped a
rock or landslide the passengers and
trainmen tumbled out in a hurry TO
seek the cause of the disaster which
they had SO narrowly escaped.
When all was found TO be in per-
feet shape just beyond the curve the
conductor began an investigation The
engineer declared he had received or
ders TO stop the train and had prompt
ly applied the brakes. Each train
man and finally each passenger was
questioned but no one admitted re-
sponsibility.
The train started ahead and was
rapidly making up lost time, when
the second time the train stopped, the
engineer again declaring that he had
received a signal to stop the train.
Again the trainmen denied having
sent the message along the bellrope
and made a rounG of inquiry among
the passengers.
The trainmen were certain that they
had been hoodooed. and some of them
declared they would leave the train
unless the mysterious spOok material
izations We're stopped.
Then. when a few minutes later the
train was stopped for third time.
trainmen and passengers were indig-
Inant This time they declared that
they would find the culprit, whoever
he might be. and prosecute him as
well. They then began a systematic
search all through the train, not spar
ing even those in the Pullman car.
few minutes later they discovered
the source of all their trouble in a
very unspOOk-like masquerade II was
monkey. His monkeyship was con-
tentedly pulling the bellrope, which
hung very close. The animal was
the property of j. F. Pickering, of
this city, and he was advised to cage
the monkey, which he did without
further delay, and the train moved
on

OF the standing and character OF
suitors, have formed a mothers pro-
tective association and plan to ex-
tend IL to other cities Of central Illi-

Does he smoke cigarettes?
Does he drink?
Is he known to be profane or vul-
gar?
Does he read good books?
Does he go to church or Sunday
school?
Does he spend his evenings at
home or In saloons?
Is he consderate Of his mother and
sisters?
What are his business prospects,
In addition there are number Of
blank lines in the form to be filled in

It is often said that marriage is a
lottery" but the mothers feel that the
chances for drawing a prize will be
vastly increased and the danger OF
drawing an undesirable will be great
ly diminished through the mothers
