NEW SOIL ACIDITY
TEST is DISCOVERED
Chemicals Are Perfectly Safe for
Layman to Handle, and Ap-
paratuS Is Cheap.

What Is expected to prove a more
positive test for soil acidity than the
common litmus paper test, and one
which, because Of the cheap and harm
less chemicals used In it's operation,
will be within the reach of the ordi-
nary farmer, has been devised by
e. Truog, instructor in the department
of soil, college Of agriculture Of the
University of Wisconsin.
The new test, it is believed, will be
of especial benefit to county repre-
sentatives and to field agents Of the
state soils laboratory, owing to the
fact that 1t is simple to operate and
approximate quantitative results can
be secured in from 10 to Is minutes.
The new method consists of the ad-
dition to a sample Of soil to be ex-
amined of zinc sulphide with small
amounts of calcium chloride and wa
ter, and boiling the mixture in flask
held over a small flame, preferably
an alcohol lamp. Commercial lead
acetate paper, which can be purchased
at the drug store, when held in the
fumes of the mixture for a few min
utes, will turn from light brown to
a shiny black, according to the de-
gree of acidity present in the soil.
The natural color of the lead acetate
paper Is white, hence the discolora.
ton can be plainly seen and will more
accurately gauge the acidity In soil
than will the litmus paper test, now
In use.
The chemicals are perfectly safe for
the layman to handle, and the com
plete apparatus, including flask and
burner. ordinarily will not cost more
than 81. The details Of the apparatus
have not been completed. but In a
short time more definite announce
ment will be forthcoming.

we now have three bedrooms and q

Then. in the matter Of light, what a

1t has taken us long time to learn
that we can build an elegant small
house as well as an elegant large
house. and we are just commencing
to put our knowledge to some practi-
cal use. Such cottages as this are be-
coming common In the more enter
prising suburbs Of the larger cities;
and the indications are that they will
continue to grow In popularity, for
they meet the requirements of fiat

upon. 1t was born of necessity, like
many other valuable inventions, and
was improved upon as occasion de-

VALUE OF ALFALFA
AND ACRE OF CORN
Placing Valuation of Two and
One-Half Times on Former
Seems to Be About Right.

A comparison of the value Of the
average acre of alfalfa with the aver
age acre of corn brings some interest
ing figures to light An enthusiastic
alfalfa raiser claims that one acre of
alfalfa is worth two and a half acres
of corn. This looks like a rather large
estimate but little work with pad
and pencil shows that the enthusiast
has not overdrawn the comparison to
any great extent.
Forty bushels of corn to the acre Is
a rather generous estimate, and an
average price Of go cents per bushel
Is good. Figuring II this way the crop
will be worth S24 Giving the stalks
q valuation of 81 we can say that
the entire product of the acre of corn
amounted to $25. An ordinary acre of
alfalfa in an ordinary season should
produce three and half tons of good
hay at the least, and a good average
price would be $3.50 per ton. Thus
the alfalfa crop will be worth $3.50.
The alfalfa will be already planted for
the next year, and the crop taken of
will leave the soil in a better condl.
ton than II found It, The crop will
have been produced at about one-third
the labor cost of the corn, and will
return to the soil much more manu-
rial value than the corn II both are fed
on the farm. The corn will have Ia
ken from the fertility OF the soil and
the loss will eventually have to be
made up by growing alfalfa OF some
other legume. Placing a valuation OF
two and one-half times as much on,
alfalfa as corn does not seem to be
far wrong.

Among the curious characteristics of
Parnell as leading statesman was his
capacity for avoiding publicity. 1t is
not only that he disappeared for
weeks and months. But he evidently
achieved the habit in early years of
cutting himself of at will from the
outside world. At the first meeting
with Mrs. O'Shea In Palace Yard he
confessed that he had not answered
her invitation to dinner because "he
had not opened his letters for days"
There are probably men who, like

(By ELMER HENDERSON,
lust between corn planting and
corn blowing there Is a little time
when the work In the fields is not so
crowding.
This affords a good opportunity to
clean the manure from the yards and
land II out into the fields. At this time
OF the year most probably the only
place to land 1t is the hay ground.
This is a good place for 1t, as the
growing meadow will take up all the
nitrates as fast as they are released
from the decaying manure and apply
1t to their own use.
1t has been proved time and again
by actual tests reported by our expert
ment stations that the manure that Is
allowed to lie around and rot loses
three-fourths of its value.
This is due to decomposition of the
material, nitrification and the escape
of ammonia and to teaching or wash
ing by rains.
When manure decays there Is lib
Grated by this process, nitrogen, which
is one of the most valuable factors on
the American farm today.
II this nitrogen is allowed to escape,
its value is lost to the crop, which
probably needs 1t very much.
AS much as three-fourths of the
available nitrogen in a soil may escape
during the summer. When it is consid-
cred that this is one of the most val
liable constituents of the manure, the
extent of the loss is at once apparent.
AS to the loss by teaching or wash
ing, need only remind you of the
