that the frequent and judicious
use of lime, together with some
organic fertilizer, will bring i'm
mediate results. Of course the
local conditions OF each par
ticuiar case must be considered
before final conclusion can be
reached. Thus, it is rational to
use quickIime on soils which are
exceedingly rich in organic mat
ter, such as peaty or swampy
soils. Limestone is ssfer than
quicklime when applied just be-
fore planting a crop which is
little helped by lining, or when
applied to light sandy soil in
hot dry weather.-(The Source,

Easy To Eornixa

A business man made an appoint
ment with a friend a few days ago,
and when the time relied. around be
forgot the matter entirely.
The incident worried him so much
that he dreaded to meet the friend
and for several days tried to keep out
of the latter's way.
Finally, however, the inevitable hap
pened, and the two met fact to face
in the lobby of downtown club.
Before the business man could voice
his explanation the friend extended
his hand and began to apologize hum
bly,:
II must beg your pardon, old chap,
but really 1 quite forgot about our
engagement the other day, and l am
indeed very sorry to have disappoint-
ed you
When he fully recovered from the
shock the business man exclaimed,
with a magnanimous wave of his right
hand
Don't worry, old man; even the best
of us will sometimes forget. "-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

Cure For Nosebleed.

1 sometimes read in the daily papers
of death caused by bleeding at the
nose. Here is a cure discovered by
me and not known or practiced by any
physician. l am an old shipmaster,
have tried it in number Of cases and
never knew it to fail. 1t is very sim
pie Any one can perform the opera
ton.
Place the patient in a sitting position
or propped up in bed, and with the
forefnger press gently in the hollow
of the throat just above the breast
bone, and the bleeding will gradually
cease.
To avoid bleeding at the nose, espe-
cially in the case Of children, get a
large bead the size of a large marble,
put it on a silk or wooden string and
tie it around the neck so that the bead
hangs in the hollow Of the throat and
wear it night and day.-New York Sun,

Agricultural Use of Lime.

The use of lime as a fertilizer
dates from the inception of mod
ern scientific farming. Agricul-
tural chemists have shown that
there are five or six different
functions which lime may per-
form to benefit soil. whIch may
be summarized briefly as follows:
1. 1t is an essential element of
plant food.
2. It aids in the conversion of
decaying organic matter into
humus.
:. It forms compounds with
the humic acids which tend to
prevent their being ieached out
of the soil and lost.
4. By producing proper SAM
tary conditions the growth of
injurious bacteria is largely pre-
vented, while the growth of
nitrifying bacteria is encour-
ragged. These nitrifying bacteria
convert the nitrogen of the
humus into such form that it is
available as a plant food.
5. Lime aids in the liberation of
potash and phosphorus from inert
compounds.
6. 1t tends to fiocculate clay
soils, rendering them gradular
and more porous.
Obviously, permanent results
can not be expected unless care
is taken to insure the presence
of some organic fertilizer at all
times. Lime used alone may be
temporily beneficial but will
eventually be harmful; when used
with cowpea vines it becomes
more efficient for general prr-
poses than almost any other fer
tilizer. Of course, lime is not
beneficial to all crops to the same
extent, and not all soils need
lime. Thus, some of the CONF
mon plants which are stated BY
the Department of Agriculture
to be benefited by lime, are
spinach, lettuce, beet, celery,
onion, cucumber, cantaloupe,
asparagus, cabbage, peanut,
rhubarb, pea, pumpkin, bean,
tobacco, alfalfa, clover, barley,
wheat, oats. timoth, ,gooscberry,
currant, orange, ounce, and
cherry. Indian corn is only
slightly benefited.
Plants which are said to be
slightly injured BY lime are
cotton, tomato, cowpea, concord
grape, peach, apple, and pear,
aud those really injured are
radish, fax, blackberry, black
raspberry, and cranberry.
Whether soil will respond to
lining or not depends on the
mount OF available calcium oxide
which it already contains. Prob.
ably the best indication of the
need of lime is the failure to OBJ
tain a good crop of clover.
| The question whether lime
should be applied to the soil as
quicklime, hydrated lime, air
sIaked lime, or ground limestone
lis still the subject of a great dea
of controversy. The advocate.

A Remarkable Stork.

The whale billed stork is found on a
lake south Of the White Nile. The
lake has never been mapped and is
bordered by extensive swamps. 1t is
hard to tell where swamp ends and
lake begins, for most of the water sur
face is covered with a dense mat OF
tangled vegetation. On this mat the
whale billed stork builds its nest. 1t is
a very rare bird and is known to the
Arabs as the Father Of the Shoe, be-
cause of its huge shoe shaped bill. 1t
is of solitary habits. blackish gray in
color with wide spreading long toed
feet adapted for standing on the quak-
ing surface of floating field of vege-
tation. Its habits are sluggish. and 1t
lives mainly on fish. Colonel Roosevelt
describes it as hunting sedately In
muddy shadows or standing motionless
for hours. surrounded by reed beds or
by long reaches of treacherous ooze."
