LIME ON THE FARM.

It now seems to be quite generally
understood that many of our so-called
"sour" and worn out" soil may be
greatly improved by intelligent applt
cations of lime Lime may affect the
fertility of the soil in several different
ways, all of which are interrelated
and a consideration of which is neces.
sary to a proper understanding Of its
effect in correcting so-called "acidity"
and building up so-called WORKOUT"
soils. Thus, lime may Q improve
the soil texture, (2) favor the growth
of grass and clover, (3) encourage the
development of beneficial bacteria,
(4) aid in the decomposition Of vege
table matter and the formation OF hui.
mus, (5) help make the plant food in
the soil available to the plant, and
(6) correct the acidity in the soil
For a proper understanding OF the use
of lime in correcting acidity and in.
creasing soil fertility, all Of these fac
tors must be considered. These dit
ferent effects of lime on the soil are
fully discussed in a free circular.
Send your name and address on a
post card and we will send you the

Within the last several days two lives

Rev. ]. w. Lentz, OF Orders, Breih-

his family got instruction from distant

arteries in his wrist. He was in danger
OF bleeding to death. DR.. Meyers, al
Oak Flat, six miles away, gave instruc-

II is difficult to estimate the full
value and benefit of a corn and grain
show to the state or community IN
which it is held. Every county In the
state should hold county corn and
grain show, and the winners at this
show should send their exhibits to the
state show. 1t is not the premiums
that are won that constitute the ben
eft derived from exhibiting good corn,
grain or stock, for the premium Is tho
smallest fraction of the real prof1t.
The man who exhibits, be 1t a winning
or losing sample, sees his product put
in competition with those of other men
and there can see the good and bad
points OF the exhibit, and he Is very,
very slow and lacking in ambition II
he does not go home with the deter
mination to raise a better crop and
sample for the following year. This
will cause him to think about his
methods of growing crops and try to
discover better methods of farming.
Have you not often heard such q
statement as this: "Those fellows
down by X town are fine farmers and
grow dandy crops. Why? 1t seems
that every one Of them have pure seed
corn, and don't they seem to enjoy
their annual county fair and agricul-
tural exhibit" Since you think Of 1t,
are their farms naturally more fertile
than yours, or have they simply got
started in the right direction towards
the field Of better agriculture and bet.
ter living?
Selecting Corn For Show.
In exhibiting corn 1t has been the
custom to show ten ears which were
considered as one whole instead OF
q single ear. To select this ten-ear
sample one should select thirty or
forty or more OF the best ears he can
find in his field, and lay on a table or
board, side by side. Look each ear

Dispatching of trains exclusively by
telephone promises TO follow the try-out
of new system on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad between Cumberland and
Brunswick, where the innovation has
been found a success. As a further step,
if is planned 10 equip every caboose and
baggage car on the line OF the Baltimore
and Ohio with auxiliary telephones, which
by a trolley arrangement may be used
at any point on the line in case OF acct
dent or trouble. If the auxiliary system
is carried out as contemplated, batteries
and telephones will be installed in the
cars and "fiSh-pole" extension trolley

caps. and in white corn by the yellow
sides. Cobs in the sample must be
of one color; that color characteristic
to the variety.
Depth of kernel and size Of cob are
correlated, and one should select the
medium size cob, neither the largest
or smallest A cob equaling one-halt
the diameter OF the ear Is nearly cor
rect.
The ideal kernel should be slightly
wedge shaped, with straight sides and
one and one-half times as deep az
wide. Large, full, bright, smooth germs
presenting an oily appearance are the
most desirable A study OF the cuts
will show many OF the above points.
The West Virginia Grain Growers
association will hold their annual corn
show in Charleston, w. Va, during
the fourth week in January, 1913. ANY
corn or grain grower In the state Is
eligible to exhibit Previous to the
holding OF the state show, 80 counties
will hold county shows, at which Will
be exhibited corn grown by members
Of the Boys Agricultural clubs, as well
es by farmers. These boys will also
exhibit at the state show. Further
particulars concerning eligibility can
be had from Prof. s. B. Nuckols, Agrt
cultural College, Morgantown, w. Va
