Practical Test For AciditY.

Most farm lands need lime after thir-
ty or forty years of cropping. Land
kept in grass for hay is likely to be-
come acid unless frequently manfred.
The best WAY to test for acidity is to
put Il load of lime on Il patch of land
here ana there at the rate Of a ton to
the acre and see whether it is benefi-
cial to the crops. especially the rlovers
and leCunlcS. If ground raw limestone
is used it should be put on at the rate
Of not less than Il ton to the acre

That >ilos should he W and il half

is practicable to build Il concrete silo

AS Il rule, we do not consider a silo
fifty feet high and ten feet i'm diameter
to be well balanced writes Professor

many things that interested
me was the fact that after a
hard days march, when we
men were lying about Oh the ground
resting. the drummer boys would choose
Il convenient place and play ball. One
of these boys of our regiment turned
out to be Il young hero. He was known
as Billy, and his other name was Riggs.
He was fourteen years Old and small
for his ;gc.
No one has ever been able to account
for the "biunder" that won the battle
of Missionary Ridge. | happened to
see that blundcr at the time it was
made. Billy Riggs was the blunderer.
our regiment was one of the line at
the base Of the ridge and in one of the
most exposed positions. We were suf-
fcriny under Il fire that we could not
return with any hope of hurting any
one. for we were obliged to shoot up
the side Of II mountain at an enemy we
conldn't sec.
Billy Riggs was standing with the
drum corps looking up the side of the
mountain. Suddenly he made a jump
and. l%nIlin- on Il rock in front Of him,
began t" climb. In n few moments he
was sheltered behind a prccipitous
bank. There he began to drum like
mad. What he did it for didn't know.
but | supposed it was to let the men
know that if they would come up there
they would he under cover. At any
rate. several men followed Billy. and
:; number followed the several. and it
wasn't two minutes before the rcyi-
mont. or the bulk Of it. was climbing
to RilIy'S position.
But Billy wasn't there. Realizing
that there wasn't room for Geo men
where he stood and seeing Il similar
position higher up. he Went there and
stood %rattliny his %sheepskin to let his
comrades know that there was plenty
Of beside him. The most daring

day l arrived at my post, as I APP

a sound of drums and flies playing the
"Rogues' March," knew that some
culprit was being drummed out of

the ceremony. Entering the gate, l
saw the garrison drawn up in line be-
