LIME WET LANDS IN FALL.
Caustie Forms Are Best and Cheapest
IL Spread When EineIy Powdered.

caustic Forms Are Best and Cheapest
if Spread When Finely Powdered.
The period of late July and August
affords the best time for the drainage
of many wet areas of land which are
so saturated that they are filed with
water at other seasons, says Professor
z. O. Fippin of the New York State
College of Agriculture. Particularly Is
it desirable to drain heavy clay land
at this season in order that the soil
which is thrown out may have an OPP
portunity to thoroughly dry before be-
ing returned to its position over the
tile. This period of slack work is also
worth considering for the drainage of
those other wet areas on the farm
which show themselves in the field by
the dwarfed crop and the distress
which it suffers during these dry pc
RODS. Those places which suffer most
from drought are often the same
areas which have had an excess of
water in the early spring.
The application of lime on old mead
ows and upon other land which is TO
be plowed for a crop next spring
should now be considered. Caustic
forms of lime which are generally
most economical in this state are best
applied in the fall, provided they are
distributed in the finely powdered
form. Fall applications followed by
late fall or early spring blowing are
preferable.

CREEPING CACTUS.
Curious Plants That Will Travel
Across q Desert.

''The isolation OF the desert lowlanG.,
Of Lower California. combined wi,a
alterations of long continued drought'
and heavy rains, has resulted in the
development of the richest and most
extraordinary desert fora In the
world" says f. w. Nelson in the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine.
"Cactuses Of many kinds abound,
varying from giants standing with
massive futed trunks fifty to sixty
feet tall to little struggling stemmed
species too weak to hold themselves
upright. The fruit of many of these
cactuses Is edible and much sought for
by birds and mammals. They were
once one of the main crops Of the In
dams who lived in this arid region.
The cactus forests often form thoILy
jungles through which 1t is impossible
to pass.
After months among these thornl
plants we supposed we had seen them
In all their eccentric variations of
forms. One morning, however, while
crossing the Llano de Yrais, In front
Of Magdalena bay, l rode out from a
dense growth Of bushes into an open
area and pulled up my horse in amaze
ment at sight Of the most extraordi-
binary Of them all. Before me was a
great bed Of the creeping devil cactus,
which appeared like a swarm Of gigan-
tic caterpillars creeping in all direc-
lions. These plants actually travel
away from the common center of the
group, and l saw many single sections
twenty or thirty yards away from the
others. The part of the stem resting
on the ground sends down rootlets,
and the older stems die in the rear at
about the same rate as they grow In
front, so they slowly move away from
the colony across the flats where they
live"

European Civilization.

The first pavements in Paris were
laid about the year 1900; in London,
about 1417. Berlin was without pave
ments far into the seventeenth CEN
fury. No houses had glass windows
before the twelfth century, and as late
as the fourteenth century anything
might be thrown out of the windows
OF Paris and London after three times
calling out, Look out!' Shirts were
not known until the time Of the cru
saders, and the fine clothes which la
dies and gentlemen wore were seldom
washed, but only occasionally scent
ed" So late as 1850 there were to be
found in Paris but three carriages,
while In England coaches date from
1880. Forks were unknown, and table
manners were exceedingly "unsightly."

for the cow to protect her calf from

no longer exist, and our breeders may
well ask themselves as TO what useful
purpose can be served by horns on the

Pietertje Maid Ormsby never had
any horns because their growth was
