to walk right out OF the picture, to
the great establishment Of Julia, q
little girl in the audience.
Dorothy sighed. cleared her throat,
thought a moment, and continued:
What do you say, little girl?'
the cowboy repeated, looking down
at Julia. Then he began to laugh.
"'Yhy, do believe you're scared

"Julia had such q lump in her
throat that she could not speak, but
she managed to nod her head.
"The cowboy sat In the seat next
to her, and looked up at the screen
with interest. Just think, said he,
'the film won't start for q whole
hour, and my horse has to stand
with one foot In the air all that
time. We moving picture folk have

he crossed his legs and sighed
deeply.
Julia peeped up at him. and he
looked SO kind that she began to
regain her courage. At last she
asked:

real Indian, didn't he? Well. he
wasn't. He's just a member of the
company dressed up, but you must
not tell
Julia promised not to tell, and
then the cowboy jumped up and
said that he wouldn't have time to
take a walk If he didn't start right
away. Ten minutes of my precious

his plump legs up and crossed them

your turn comes, If you want to.
$50, Julia, she jumped out OF her
seat and went right along with
him. She thought maybe he was
going to lasso her, or something"
Davie went on. 1.-THE cowboy
marched to the front door and all
the people looked and looked, but
he didn't care. cause he was used
to being looked at.
Where are we going asked Ju-

LIME IMPROVES SOIL TEXTURE.

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 that the wonder Is
that anyone will worry along with
such soils year after year, and even
from one generation to another, while
the possible increase in yield in a
single year will often pay for the nee
essary lime. The trouble with such
soils is due to the extreme fneness Of
the PARTICLES All soils are very much
finer than most people would readily
believe, and clay soils are the finest of
all Soils consisting largely of clay
particles are likely to be too compact.
Normal movement Of air and water
and easy penetration Of roots are I'M
possible. These very fine particles,
when wet, tend to stick together; II
worked wet they form a plastic mass
which on drying shrinks and becomes
very hard.
II handful Of such soil be worked
into a plastic mass, 1t will become
very hard when dry; but if the test
be repeated with clays to which a
small quantity of caustic lime has been
added, the mass when dry will crum-
BILE easily between the fingers. LYME
destroys the adhesiveness of clays,
making them more open, mellow and
easy to work. Air, water and plant
roofs can get through them much
more easily. They suffer less from ex-
tremes Of wet and dry weather. They
respond more generously to cultiva-
ton and manuring. For the purposes
In question, two or three tons of burnt
lime per acre should be applied. The
very marked improvement so easily
accomplished is noticeable for many
years; it is indeed one of the most en-.
during effects Of lime-B. II. HITE,

The removal last week Of the remains
of Thomas Turner from Anold's Grove
Cemetery, near Hillsboro, and the rem
terment in the Confederate lot in ceme-
terry at Leesburg, brings TO mind an en-
gagement in which Turner was killed
near Harper's Ferry, January 9, 1864.
Thomas Turner, who was Marylander,
belonged to Mosby's Rangers and lost
his life in an attack on the camp ola Fed
eral force. His grave at Hillsboro re-
manned unmarked until the ladies' OF Lees
burg Chapter Daughters OF the Conted-
eracy took an interest in it. With the
few bones that were found in his grave
after the lapse of over forty-nine years
were a number of buttons from his uni
form in good condition, bearing the Mary
land coat of-arms.

At the same time that farms have
become smaller there has been de-
crease in amount Of improved land
from SO acres in 1900 to 81 in 1910.
There are two ways in which farm
er may increase his income, one by ac-
curing more land and the other by
using that already occupied to better
advantage.
In West Virginia there are many
farmers working in lumber camps, oil
fields and other places. There is no
objection to this If it brings larger re.
turns than the same time used on the
land
The good home markets make 1t
both desirable and profitable for many
to give up outside work and devote all
their energy to intensive agriculture.
Many lines are open, such as fruit.
poultry and dairy farming. No one of
these requires a large area and mar.
kets are always available.
Staple crops, such as corn and wheat,
should be grown wherever land is best
adapted to their culture, but perisha-
BILE crops, such as vegetables, fruit and
market milk, should be produced near
the consumer. This gives the farmer
Of West Virginia. with his rather small
amount Of improved land, very de-
cided advantage in location.

Asparagus oan be grown successful
