ments. The reason why the New Eng
land farmer has neglected to replace
the lime taken out of the soil by his
crops has been chiefly due to its cost.
Burned lime-the only lime heretofore
used by farmers-has cost on an aver
age 50 ton at the nearest railroad sta
ton.
AS one Of the chief purposes of the
industrial bureau, established two
years ago by the New England lines,
was to aid the farmer so one of the
first problems taken up was that of
getting back lime into his soil. Here
tofore farmers have gone around to
lime kiins and taken Stacked lime. No
body ever thought of furnishing farm
ers the ground lime before it went into
the kiln and the farmers never thought
of using it on their farms, though this
has been done extensively in the west
for some time. Representatives of the
industrial bureau of the New Haven,
Boston and Maine and Maine Central
Railroad finally succeeded in unearth-
ing an extensive lime deposit near
West Stockbridge, Mass, and have
been responsible for the organization
recently of the Changers Lime and
Marble Company, with Wilson II.
Lee, vice president of the State Board
of Agriculture as its president. This
company proposes to furnish ground
lime 10 farmers at a cost of S1.50 a ton
(. o. b. or about s. a ton delivered.
With New England farms in posses.
sion of supply of cheap lime easily
applied nothing should remain in the
way of making this region one OF the
most successful fields for really inten-
sive farming. Today it has the mar
kets and IN fact everything but the
production Prosperity for the farm
spells prosperity for the country. That
is why the railroads of New England
are trying to help the farmer here bring
back fertility To his soil by endeavoT-
ing 10 supply him with a cheap supply
of one OF natures necessities, without
which ali life must wither and decay.

One of the first things To be accom-
plished by the board Of water commits
sioners since the city took over the
plant OF the Putnam Water Company
was the filling OF the filter beds.
After the commissioners had made an
examination of The plant and found
that the filter beds had not been filled
since the plant was installed in
1896 they took immediate steps To REM
edN this essential feature in giving the
city pure and wholesome water for do
nestle use
The filter plant consists Of three
chambers each 5lx64 feet and about II
feet in height, besides clear water
basin which is duplicate of the other
chambers but set at grade two feet
lower into which all of the filtered
water is collected before being pumped
into the water mains. The water en-
tiers the litter chambers from the head
race through sluiee gate and is spread
evenly over the entire hitter bed. The
water then settles down through the
sands to the troughs leaving all organ
ic and foreign substances deposited on
the sand.
The work was started several weeks
ago and number Of men have been
steadily at work. Each basin re-
quireS $50 loads of sand so that the re-
moval and replacement OF the mater
ial required the moving, in The three
chambers, in all ll40 loads of material.
one filter chamber has been cleaned
each three weeks and the work has
been done on the chambers in rota,

half inch OF sand was taken out
with the sediment so that the sand
had been gradually lowered until Il

half feel of sand has been put in each
chamber, and the work will not have

Fable of Dog That Misunderstood

Once there was a motley little yell
low dog that was picked up in the
street by kind man. The man, feel
ing sorry for him and being afraid
no one else would be good to such
a homely cur, kept him and bought
him a handsome collar and treated
him so well that the dog soon began
TO strut and grew very proud and
vain.
Surely he said to the house cat,
Il must be a very fine dog to be so
much admired and petted," and with
that he began to bark at the solemn
old Persian cat. which ignored him
entirely.
'She is rather a well trained old
thing" thought the dog. She knows
enough not TO talk back to her bet
ters"
Then be ran out in the street and
barked at a beautiful horse that was
passing the house. but neither the
driver nor the horse paid any atten-
ton to him.
"Ah." said the dog. "I must be a
very fine dog, indeed-they, too, real
ize they must not reprove their SUI
periors.'
Moral: To the conceited all signs
are compliments.

Lime Needed for New England Soil

What is the matter with the New

in this region produce only Twenty-Five

sumes? Why is ii that so many farms
elsewhere make fortunes for their own

new PASTOR OF
first BAPTIST
WORDS OF CONTEMPLATION FOR
DR.. CHRISTIAN BY THE
BAPTIST ADVANCE.

The Baptist Advance" published
at Little Rock, Ark, has the following
to say about DR.. J. T. Christian who
has accepted the call to the First Bap-
fist Church, of Hattiesburg:
Before leaving the office to go to
the bedside of his mother in Ken
lucky, DR.. Christian announced his &C.
ceptance of the call extended to him
by the First Baptist church, Hatties-
burg, Miss. AS announced two weeks
ago, that church had given him a
hearty and unanimous call to become
its pastor. They fix his salary at ST.
400, with pastors home, expenses
paid to Southern Baptist Convention
and state convention, and one months
vacation each year. The church has
some 800 members and has had only
two pastors in the last 25 years. Hat.
tiesburg is a city of about 10000 PEG.
pie, and has two colleges, one of them
being the Baptist Women's College of
Mississippi. In the church are many
influential people and everything in
dicates DR.. Christian will enter into
one of the most pleasant pastorates
of his life, and one where there is no
mania for changing preachers every
year.
ut was in the spring of 1904 that
| DR.. Christian accepted a call to the
care of the Second Baptist church,
Little Rock The church was at that
time worshiping in its former home at
the corner of Eighth and Louisiana
streets. Soon a building enterprise
was launched and a new lot purchas-
ed at Eighth and Scott streets. The
old property was sold and the church
moved temporarily to the Y. M. c. A.
auditorium. Four years ago the new
church was opened for services. This
house, with it's furnishings, is now
valued at 100000 and stands easily
one of the handsomest structures in
the city. The church grew under DR.
Christians ministry, and was large
contributor to missions, notwithstand
ing its heavy building burden.
Nearly three years ago DR.. Chris
tian was elected missionary secretary
of our state convention This has
been a period of educational stress
and problems; but while contribution.
to missions have not been so large al
for the two years preceding his cleo
ton, good work has been done. Dur
ing his stay in Arkansas DR.. Christian
has contributed some valuable articles
to the Baptist Advance. One serie
was on Baptism in Sculpture an,
Art and two other series were OF
Roman Catholicism.
cdr Christian will leave a host d
friends behind him in Arkansas an,
in the Second Baptist church, VIII
will watch his success in his new feel
with much interest"
