THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
HOW TO LOCATE ACID SOILS.
A Simple Way to Remedy Them.
GEORGE II. DACY.

JEORJE II. DAIi.
Sour soils spell poor crops, SO pool
crops mean less to eat and wear for thu
farmer. Therefore every farmer shoulc
play detective and seek our soils on his
farm that are acid and reform them by
the use of lime, which neutralizes the
acidity. The chief handicap experienced
by the farm with an acid soil Is that the
culture of clovers and similar legumes IL
prohibited by the fact that the nitrogen
fixing bacteria which inhabit the nodules
on roots of the clovers abhor an acid OF
sour soil, and clay loan soils that are
deficient in organic matter are especially
prone to aeidity.
The farmer desiring to locate sour soil
ON his farm should purchase about five
cents worth of blue litmus paper at the
local drug store. As soon as possible
after a rainstorm, when the surface soil
is still moist, he should 60 out into the
field and with his jaek-knife cut a slit
in. the earth, into which he should insert
the litmus paper. He should then pack
the soil firmly about the Indicator. paper
and allow it to remain in place for about
five minutes then he should remove the
earth and examine the paper, which, II 1T
has turned red or pink, indicates the soil
is acid. The farmer must be careful in
handling the test paper, as perspiration
is acid and affects the litmus paper.
There is also the ammonia test, made
by putting a few drops of common am
monia water in glass holding a tea
cupful of pure water. Into this stir a
teaspoonful of the soil to be tested. If
the soil needs lime, the water after the
soil has settled for few hours win have
darkish, red brown or black appear
ance.
Raw-Ground Limestone the Best.
II the countryman finds his soil is sour
he can correct it by using finely ground
unburnt limestone, mari or refuse from
sugar beet factories. Freshly slaked or
burnt lime is Objectionable, because it
tends to burn out the supply of organic
matter contained in soil. The applca-
ton Of from one-half to one ton of
ground limestone or mari per acre every
seven or eight years controls any acid
tendencies of soil and puts it in fit
for clovers, alfalfa and other
legumes. II is a good plan to use
ground limestone as an absorbent in the
dairy or horse stable and to apply the
lime to the land with the manure 1t is
a correspondingly bad practice to apply
freshly slaked or burnt lime to the soil
with manure; in fact, it should never be
used the same year manure is distrib
uted over the field, as its tendency is to
burn up and waste the organic matter
in the fertilizer before it can be used by
the plants.

To Induce Sleep.

No matter how unpleasant the day
has been, permit none but pleasant
thoughts. Persevere until you have
formed the habit of going to bed in a
happy frame of mind,
Do not go to bed in a room where the
gas has been burning for hours, without
opening the window as wide as possible
and arranging it so that there is a cir
eulation of fresh air all night.
1t is much more healthful to sleep
without pillow. so that the head is on
Il level with the backbone and the strain
on the muscles is relaxed. High pillows
push the shoulders forward and prevent
the chest from being properly expanded.
A hard bed with light covering is best,
1t should be high from floor and pushed
away from the walls on all sides. Per-
sons troubled with sleeplessness should
not 90 to bed immediately after study
ing hard, as the brain is then in a state
of excitement that will prevent sleep.
Many persons find that some light
fruit taken directly before going TO bed
induces comfortable and sound sleep.
Lines and lemons are stomach sedatives.
Apples. either baked or mcooked, are
good to promote sleep hot bath is
good. In extreme cases rubber ice
bag filed with broken ice placed at the
back of the neck, and hot-water bag
at the feet to equalize the circulation
will have almost immediate effect.
Gentle exercise just before going to
bed will often have the desired effect.
Bend the head slowly forward as far as
possible. Count 20 with eyes on the cell
ing. Repeat 10 times. Another exercise
is to stand erect and rise slowly from
the heels. Descend slowly. Do this 40
or 80 times until you feel the conges-
ton Of the muscles of the leg. Sleep
will soon come after this.

SOFT CHEESE
The Art of Making 1t.
C. n. LANE


The primary difference between hard
and soft cheese is the result of different
methods OF manipulation of curdled
milk. In hard cheese, as Cheddar, Swiss
| American, Edam, etc, milk is curdled
rapidly and the curdled mass then cut
into small pieces to allow much OF the
whey 10 separate from the eurd, and the
curdled mass is often heated further to
separate curd and whey Then the ctIrd
is placed in frames and subjected to high
pressure that forces out most of the
whey, leaving hard mass of tolerably
dry curd. Such a curd ripens slowly
and is not ready for market for months,
and even when perfectly ripe it pre-
serves its form and never. becomes very
soft.
Soft cheese as Camembert, Brie, Isig
NY. limburger, Backstein, Neufchatel
and cream cheese, although each is made
in special manner, all are alike in one
point namely, the whey is never fully
drained from them. The curdled milk
is commonly ladled into forms and al
lowed to drain naturally. Soft cheeses
are not subjected to pressure or heat
and so contain larger percentage of
water at the start than hard cheese
They therefore afford favorable condi-
tions for the growth of micro organisms
and engine action which ripen cheese
rapidly and develop high flavors, and
favors are known to be physiologically
necessary to proper digestion and assim-
ilation of food, so soft eheeses have a
decided value of their own. They are
more perishable than hard cheeses, and
to put them on the market so as to
stage of ripening is difficult problem of
the industry.
Cheese as Food.
Cheese used to be considered luxury
or so-called appetizer, but recent inyes-
LEGATIONS show that it is a valuable food
and stands near the top from the eco
nomical standpoint. No kind of meat
except dried beef carries such large
percentage of protein and other food
constituents as cheese. Fresh beef has
little more than half the food value of
cheese, and pound of cheese is equal
to two pounds of eggs or three pounds
of fish As to cheapness, practically the
only food product that rivals cheese in
food Value is dried beans, yet the people
of the United States consume per capita
l75 pounds of meat annually and only
four pounds of cheese, while the people
in foreign countries are, of cour-e, much
larger cheese eaters, and many of the
poor people live entirely on rye bread
and cheese, making a fairly good diet
and a digestible one.
