LIME REQUIRED FOR ONIONS
Soil Is Made Looser and Therefore
More Productive-Success At
tributed to Substance.

Much of my success in growing big
onions, many specimens weighing a
pound and half apiece, l attribute to
a free application of lime to the land
in spring, says the Farm and Fire
side. Likewise, believe that similar
applications, just before sowing the
seed of the Portugal onion early in
August have helped me to get a re-
markably fine stand and growth.
I have used manures right along,
year after year. The land is rich. The
fine and almost spontaneous growth
of clover on any patch that is left
to itself for while would hardly show
that there is any need Of lime. Yet,
owning perhaps to faulty drainage, the
land often turns up rather soggy, with
close texture. Lime seems to make
it closer, and therefore more produc-
tive.

TO PREVENT CRACKED HEELS
Trouble May Be Avoided If Manure is
Not Allowed to Accumulate and
Urine Is Drained.

(By DIR. III. PRESTON KOSKINS, Uni
versity Farm, St. Paul)
Scratches, also called cracked heels
or mud fever, can be prevented by
careful stable management. Cases
are rarely met with in well kept
barns, but are often seen in dirty,
poorly drained stables. Dryness and
cleanliness of the floor of the stall
are the two most important factors
in the prevention of scratches.
Horses should not be allowed to
stand in piles of manure and decom-
posing urine. These irritate and in
flame the skin in the fold of the ankle
just below the fetlock. The skin then
becomes thickened, due to the inflam-
nation and breaks or cracks in it ap-
pear and if allowed to go untreated
the condition grows gradually worse.
The affected area grows larger, the
cracks become deeper and the animal
is in an unsightly and painful condi-
ton.
Owners of horses can prevent the
trouble in the majority of cases by
doing two things. Do not allow man
ure to accumulate behind your horses,
and see that your stalls are so con-
structed that the urine will drain
away promptly If your horses show
any tendency toward the condition APP
ply small amount of carbolized vase
line, benzoinated lard. or zinc oxide
ointment, we'll rubbed into the af-
fected parts These remedies will
soften the skin and protect it from
external moisture and irritating sub
stances. During wet weather or when
the roads and streets are muddy or
slushy, extra precaution should be
taken to prevent the condition. Do
not wash cracked heels, as water and
rubbing only aggravate the condition

Save the Early LAYERS.

Hens that lay but few eggs are ami
NAL weeds. If we breed from them
they are more than likely to yield
daughters that will be weeds also.
Farmers and small poultrymen who
cannot afford to use trap nests can
pick out the pullets in September and
October that are about commencing
to lay, and save a pen of them for
next seasons breeders.
The pullets that commence LAYING
early usually continue to lay well.
In this way most of the weeds can
be kept out of the breeding pen.

BENEFICIAL EFFECT OF LIME
Substance Improves Sandy Soils by
Making Them More Compact and
Retentive of Moisture.
CRY b H HITEl

(By B. H. HITE0
Nothing in agricultural science or
practice may be mentioned with more
assurance than the beneficial effect Of
lime on easily puddled stiff clay soils.
This is so nearly matter of common
knowledge, the wonder is that anyone
will worry along with such soils year
after year, and even from one genera
ton to another, while the possible in
crease in yield in a single year will
often pay for the necessary lime.
Lime may improve loose sandy soils
by making them more compact and
more retentive of moisture. For this
purpose some form of carbonate of
lime is usually recommended, and in
much smaller quantities than for clay
soils. Clay soils will stand more lime

Ejohtjnu Stock Lice,

When treating cattle or other do
nestle animals for lice, bear in mind
that it is just as necessary to clean
up and disinfect the stables, as to
treat the affected animals.
For lice on cattle, advises DR.. Rey-
nolds, dust Persian insect powder
over the backs and rumps; or brush
the necks and backs daily; using a
little kerosene on a stiff brush-not
enough kerosene to wet the hair or in
lure the skin.

and, for almost every purpose, require
more lime than sandy soils. The i'm
provement of sandy soils will often be
much greater if the lime is applied to
green crop turned under. Lime
hastens the conversion of the vege.
table matter into humus, and this with
the lime helps to fill the open spaces
between the sand grains. 1t is claimed
by those who have given much atten'
ton to light sandy soils that there are
no other types of soils that will re.
spond quite so readily to lining, pro.
vided the necessary vegetable matter
is supplied.
