the State Loan Company, of 131
Springfield avenue, appeared in court
as complaining witness against
Hall, who he charges offered him a
fake diamond ring upon which he
loaned him 5000. Hall admitted this
but denied there was any attempt on
his part to deceive Stepner.
Ryan and Farrell found a small
bottle of alcohol on Hall when he
was searched. This, they declare, the
prisoner uses to treat the stones to
make them sparkle. They also founo

THE APPLE SITUATION.

This year, there was the greatest
shortage Of apples on record, with a
great increase in the value Of the crop,
whereas, year ago there was grea'
overproduction, reported President H. l..
Keyser of Greene in his address at the
opening of the annual meeting Of the
Maine Pathological Society, in Lewiston
Nov. 10Th.
President Keyser gave his approval to
the universal advertising campaign to In
crease apple consumption and urged up
on the society the necessity of a law for
licensing and regulating the business of
the commission merchants. He also
urged an investigation of freight rates,
especially those to Liverpool to which
port the bulk of Names apple crop is
sent.
Resolutions urging the further strength
ening of the Maine laws in reference to
apple packing, were adopted at the clos

EUROPEAN FARM CO-OPERA.
TON
By B. II. HIBBARD,
CnirersitY of Wisconsin.

Over nearly the whole OF Europe
farmers have learned to work together
In borrowing money, marketing pro-
duce, purchasing supplies and In many
other ways involving education, recre-
alton, sanitation and the beautifica-
ton of village and country surround
ings. In the different countries about
two-thirds of the farmers belong to
these cooperative companies, and
membership is based on specific, tangi-
BILE reasons. Farmers join these or
CARNATIONS to accomplish results in a
business way, which could not so
readily be done through any other
available means. For the most part
1t is not the large, well to do farmer
who takes the keenest interest in CO.
operation, for the cooperative move
ment is primarily for the farmer of
modest means.
One of the distinctive features of Eu-
ropean cooperation is that it goes
right to the heart of agriculture. In
America we have a great number of
cooperative movements which hardly
touch the main farm operations, such,
for example, as the cooperative tele-
phones or cooperative fire insurance.
Cooperation in Europe, on the other
hand, centers about farm finance liz
fact, in Germany, where cooperation
has reached probably its highest de
velopment. the nucleus about which
other forms of cooperation center is
the agricultural credit company. This
means, first a definite vital motive for
joining, and, second it gives Il per
manency and stability which might be
wanting in case the cooperation were
attempted primarily for the tranSac-
ton of some business which lasted for
small portion of the year or for
something which played Il small role
in the farmers affairs.
Cooperation fairly permeates the az
| ricultural operations of Europe. and
today there are thousands of co op-
erative credit companies. many of
them established for Il generation and
more and are therefore long past the
experimental stage. In nearly all
countries are companies for buying
farm supplies. such as feed, fertilizer
and machinery. On the selling side
are companies handling butter. bacon.
eggs. poultry, live stock. grain and
fruit In fact wherever there is any
considerable amount of business to be
done in buying and selling among
farmers there is Il cooperative COM
pany to give them the advantage of
collective bargaining.
The European farmer has learned
that his greatest Independence and
prosperity are to be had by joining
with his ncighbors for the promotion of
the best interests of the community

\ 1t is unusual for farmers wife to
add $1,000 year to the cash profits of

many years by Mrs. Hitchcock of Lin
coin county, Me. Mrs. Hitchcock is the
wife of dairy farmer and does all the
housework Of the family. When we
add that she is also the mother of
sons it will be understood she didn't
need to take up poultry work to keep
herself busy. She was attracted to
that work because it gave opportunity
to increase the cash income of the
family, and, being we'll endowed with
the quality called faculty" she grasp
ed the opportunity. She found time to
build up a poultry department of $50
layers, which has paid her an average
net profit. of $1,000 a year for years,

Notwithstanding the crowded cond-

LIME AND ITS USES

The misunderstanding Of the true
relation of lime to soil fertility and
crop production has often brought the
practice of lining into undeserved Ill
repute. The truth is that lime, in
stead of being only soil stimulant
beneficial at first, but exhaustive). is
quite the opposite
Lime is a soil constituent in two re-
spects-as plant food and as neu-
trailer Of acids. Free acid is detri-
mental to the growth of beneficial bac-
terra; hence the Importance of having
lime enough in the soil to neutralize
all acids as fast as they are formed by
the decay of vegetable or mineral mat
ter of sour soils. There are two class
es Of chemical compounds-acids and
bases-which have the power of neu-
Trailing the characteristic properties
of each other. When a base and an
acid combine the former loses it's
power to combine with more acid.
Lime. therefore, which is already COM
bined with a strong acid, has no pow
er to neutralize soil acidity. To this
class belong land plaster or gypsum
and rock phosphate, valuable in their
way, but not as correctives of sour
soil. The best compounds of lime for
use in correcting soil acidity are ground
limestone, mari and shells. Water
slaked and quicklime are used, but
these are caustic in their nature and
act in destructive way on organic
matter in the soil.
Lining has two principal effects on
soil, both effective through the correc
ton of soil acidity and promotion of
bacterial activity. The first. the pro-
motion of the growth of legumes, re-
suits in building up of the nitrogen
and organic matter supply of the soil
and is most desirable This one effect
is sufficient to justify the use of lime.
In order to obtain these beneficial re-
suits. however. the legumes must be
planted-namely. clovers, peas. beans.
vetches and alfalfa. If these are neg
lected the principal object of lining
the Improvement of soil fertlity-is
defeated.
The second principal effect of lime
is that OF increasing the availab ility
of the plant foods in the soil. especial
~ the nitrogen. ana Of burning out the
organic matter in the soil. This latter
effect is destructive and exhaustive.
but within prescribed limits defeusibie
on the ground that plant food and or
ganic matter in soil are to be used. If
overdone to the extent of releasing
plant food faster than plants can use
it. then it becomes indefensible and
results in lost fertility.
