KINDLY OLD BAVARIAN RULER
ample Reasons Why Duke Max Was
Popular Within and Without
His Dominions.

Duke Max of Bavaria had no greater
delight than leaning over the counter
OF some small shQpkeeper, talking gos-
sip or purchasing toys for his great
gfanddaughters in Austria. Innumer-
able stories are told illustrating his
character r. H. Goldschmidt. a
wealthy banker of Frankfort, was once
1ourneying to Vienna. Opposite him
on the velvet cushion of the first class
car sat an old gentleman, whose dress
and looks betrayed no uncommon
rank. Are you on a pleasure trip"
asked the bankers vis-a-vis. "Yes,"
answered the latter, II am goicg to
visit my daughter, who, thank God,
fortunately married the Banker VIE
ner in Vienna" How strange" re-
piled his companion; "the incentive
to my trip is the same. l am going
to visit my daughter in Vienna. Thank
God; she, too, is rather fortunately
married to the emperor Of Austria"
The dukes pocketbook was open
to all. Many a poor creature in that
Catholic city told off beads for good
Duke Max" and blessed his name
A disciple of old Baltazarina, whose
art had once charged the ballet lov-
ers of music. having grown old in her
profession. was unable to get employ
ment. In despair she wrote to Duke
Max, giving an account of her situa-
ton. His secretary handed him the
letter with the remark: "She deserves
nothing; she has lived a fast life"
Then," answered his highness, "she
will miss her former splendor so much
the more" and, sitting down, he wrote
her a letter, enclosing money, and
signed From an admirer Of your art"

LIME FOR SOILS

Crop Growth Indicative of Condition
Growing Leguminous Croos-Man-
ure Spresder May Be Used for Ap-
plying Lime
Mr.. o. C. Rostel, Marble, Washing
ton, 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"
ITnburned 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 one Of two
methods - either by close examlna-
ton of the plant growth or by the use
Of litmus 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
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 (at least ten) forms
Of commercial lime on the market.
The best form to use is finely ground
limestone. First: because it 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 ton or ton and 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 manure spreader; in fact, this
10 the usual machine for applying
finely ground limestone.

DESTROYING GRAssHOPPERS

Reply to Jacob Mathiason, Walnut
Grove, MINI. please send me by
mail directions for killing grasshop-
pers."
Before attempting to give a remedy
for the grasshopper plague, few
words in regard to its early stages of
growth will not be out of place. In
order for the grasshopper to multiply
to any extent, the soil in which the
eggs are laid must be undisturbed and
there must be an abundance of food
available. The most favorable con
ddtion for grasshopper development
seems to be found in the alfalfa sec
tions Of the west Where it is possible,
one of the best prev measures is
to cultivate the ground. The soil need
not be disturbed below the first two
inches Of surface, for most of the
eggs are deposited very shallow. We
fully realize that In many cases this
cannot be done SO as to completely
destroy the grasshopper, but where it
Is possible to pillow and cultivate in the
fall the number can be greatly de-
creased.
There are two ways Of destroying
the adult or grown grasshopper. One
is by the use of the hopper dozer.
Various forms are in use, but one that
has given very good satisfaction can
be built of sheet iron, ten or twelve
fest long, and about twenty-six inches
wide, with a board across the back,
against which the grasshoppers will
oy and then fall into the bottom of the
hopper dozer.l The bottom of the hop
per dozer should be made water tight,
80 that a quantity of water may be
poured into it, also small quantity of
kerosene. The hopper dozer should be
mounted on low skids or small wheels
and drawn by one or more horses.
The grasshoppers will be collected in
the hopper dozer and killed by coming
In contact with the kerosene. This
whole structure is rather inexpensive
and has proved very good method of
destroying the grasshopper.
The bureau of entomology of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture has recomm ended a poisoned
bait, which is known as the "criddle
mixture" and has given very good
results in some sections. The mix
ture is made as follows:
Onehalf barrel fresh horse drop
pings. in which is mixed one pound
each of salt and paris green. If the
droppisgs are not fresh, the salt is
dissolved in water and mixed with the
manure and poison
Then this mixture is scattered freely
about, where the grasshoppers are
abundant. DIR. Fletcher, entomologist
for the Dominion Of Canada, cites an
instance where this poison mixture
was scattered around portion of the
field, with the result that this portion
stayed green while the grasshoppers
seriously injured other parts of the
same field The criddle mixture has
been preferred to other brands of poi
son because its effect on other forms
of animal hfe is not SO serious.
