How to Test Your Soil.

Secure small sample Of soil free
from roots and grass and put 1t I'm n

paper in the soil so that they are half
covered. Then add pure water very
carefully until the soil is thoroughly
saturated. After the test has stood
for several minutes the paper Is re-
moved and rinsed thoroughly. If that
portion Of 1t which was in contact with
the soil has become red. then the soil
is acid and would be benefited by linn
ing. The litmus paper may be bought
at almost any drug store.-Iowa Circu-

Concerning the Living Lincoln.

concerning the Living Lincoln
ut was my pleasure to have known
President Lincoln personally" said
Alexander Mcdowell, clerk of the
house. Il talked with him on several
occasions, in Washington and at the
front, and while 4 knew him well l
do not flatter myself that he knew me
well, for there was only one of him
and there were forty millions Of me.
What struck me above all else was his
simplicity and everyday common
sense.
HE met all men as equals, not In
a patronizing way, but in a way that
said as plain as words. We are all
of one blood, and brothers. He was
a great man and he was the only one
in all the land that did not know 1t.
"He always remembered his early
struggles and poverty, and with a SYM
patty born of them was ever ready to
give helping hand to those compelled
to travel the road that he had been
compelled to travel in his youth and
early manhood.
"He was a Christian, not a church
member-and did by his actions what
so many do by their professions only.
His life was the golden rule In action.
He loved and had faith in his fellow
man, and stood et all times ready to
hold the ladder firm while they as
cended and no jealous envy ever en-
tered his mind, no matter how high
the ascent.
"He was Republican and parti-
san, but above all patriot and a lover
OF his country. We need today par
tisan Republicans and partisan Demo
Gratis, men who believe in their duty
and the principles of their parties and
not 30 many guerrillas that feed be-
tween the lines, now on one side and
then on the other.

cere, honest friend and the nation a

Affairs at washington" in National

tower stars and stripes in red and
white stone.
The Lincoln Tower was inaugur
ated July 4, 1876. The newspapers of
the time were crowded with accounts
Of the great centennial celebration, so
that 1t is not strange that the cere-
mony of opening the tower was over
looked
The idea of the memorial originated
with the Hon. William e. Dodge Of
New York, who at the time was visit
ing the Rev. Newman Hall, widely
known as "the dissenter's bishop"
one of the most popular English
preachers of the day. Except for the
first thousand dollars, the whole cost
of the tower, which amounted to
thirty-five thousand dollars, was con-
tributed, half in English sixpences and
half in American dimes, entirely
through the efforts of Mr.. Hall, who
counted the work all Joy for the love
that he bore to Lincoln.
Southwark is a district of modest
homes,-its inhabitants are people Of
small means, If not actually POOR
just the kind Of plain people whom
Lincoln especially loved and trusted
1t would please the great president
that his memorial should stand among
such surroundings, rather than in a
more conspicuous situation or a more
fashionable neighborhood. - Youths

DAIRY pays just in proportion to

A DAIRY pays just in proportion to
"a the skill and care with which IL
is managed. Owners of little
farms who have transportation faciii
ties can afford TO make q dairy the
basis OF their operations, n place of
thirty to fifty acres will maintain a
dozen COWS. without excluding poul.
try, vegetables and fruit
The way to make such a dairy pay
Is to establish n reputation for high
grade milk, cream and butter. Private
customers can be secured who will
pay literally for these commodities II
they are sweet and wholesome and
show evidence OF intelligent handling.
The owner must insist on cleanliness
about the barn and In the pals and
cans.
One problem of the dairyman Is to
keep the milk from being contaminat-
ed. either through dirt falling into 1t
or by its absorption OF undesirable
odors. If the stables are clean. dry
and well ventilated there will be no
bad odors for the milk to absorb OF
course there should he no ceSSpoOls
about the stables. and the ground I'M
der the barn should be well drained.
Poor drainage cannot help but cause
Objectionable doors about the barn.
The udder and the TANKS of the cow
should be thoroughly wiped with n
damp cloth before milking.
One of the cardinal points that
good dairymGn will observe 10 han.
ding his cows is regularity in all his
work. He will feed the cows at def.
mite hours and milk them ut stated
intervals. II COW is MIXED at q
o'clock in the morning she should he
MIXED again at 6 at night, the best
results being obtained when the time
between milkings Is twelve hours.

fingers be as fiat against the side Of the
teat as possible. 1t is just as easy to
milk that way as any and far more
agreeable to the COW.
Some men have way Of jerking
down on the teats of the COW they are
milking every time they bring out n
stream. This is not at all necessary
In fact the best mixer will be the one
who holds his hands the most nearly in
the same position relative to the tcat
and presses steadily and rhythmically
on the teat. Nothing is gained by jerk.

One of the flthiest habits of man

which fairly reeked with the discolorcd

The man who does this is not Il tit hand
for work. More or less of the foul liquid
will get into the pail and help to make
the milk insanitary. Some cows do
milk hard. but almost always there will
be some man who is strong enough in
the hands to milk them without resort
ing to any such uncleanly habit as this.
