lime FOR PLANTING
GARDEN EXPLAINED
Soil Needs to Be DIy--Ntvsr
to Be Used When Its Wet.

Washington, D. c., March 3d.
"When is the proper time for prepar-
ing to plant ones garden?'
The United States department or
agriculture's specialist says that m
the spring as soon as the soil has
dried so that handful when grasped
: in the hand and griped by the fingers
will slowly fall apart upon being re-
leased, it is in fit mechanical con-
dition to prepare for planting. Clay or
heavy soils should never be worked
while wet More injury may be done
sby doing this than can be overcome
/ In several years of careful culture
When the soil is found dry, as de-
scribed above, the upper three inches
should be made fine by the use OF the
hoe and steel-tooth rake; all rub
& bish, stones and clods should be re-
moved and the surface made. even,
somewhat compact, and as level as
the contour of the area will permit.
1t may then be marked off for plant
ing in conformity to the general plan
of the garden.
Much of the soil in the average
back yard is not only poor in plant
food and deficient in decaying vegeta-
BILE matter, but it is hard and un-
*
which many a housewife or child has
to use for the making of a garden.
Teachers who plan school gardens for
their pupils also have similar condi-
tions to meet. Therefore, in order to
get good results, careful attention
must be given to the preparation of.
the soil
Soils which are naturally moist are
likely to. be sour and SO not in the
best condition for the crop. Whether
sour or not it will be we'll to have
the pupils test them, which can be
done as follows: Secure from a drug
store a piece Of blue litmus paper:
then tage handful of the soil slight
ly moistened and place the paper on
it. If sour the paper will turn red.
To correct such a condition lime
should be used. Cover the ground
with a thin coat of air-slaked limee,
which can probably be secured near
by at small cost, and work this in
we'll The use of the lime, while not
plant food, will correct the acidity
and will improve the physical con-
dition Of the SOIL
If the soil is clayey or a stiff clay
loan and the location is in a section
where severe freezing occurs, it will
be found decided advantage to give
the area heavy dressing of decom-
posed manure in the autumn, and
before freezing weather sets in spade

FAST TRAIN JUMPS
TRACKS NEAR BRIDGE
Engine, Baggage Car and Smoker OF
Boston Express Derailed at
Devon.

Devon, Conn, March 23-The en-
CINE, baggage car and smoker of the
fast east bound Boston express on
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad, jumped the tracks a
few hundred feet from the open
drawbridge over the Housatonic river
near here last night. No one was
injured. There was panic among
the passengers. The derailment was
caused by the operation Of the de-
railing apparatus, which sets auto
matically when the bridge is open.
According to the story told by
John Albee. the assistant bridge
tender, who was in charge at the
time, the bridge had been opened to
allow the tug John Glenn with tow
Of coal barges from Derby, to pass
through. AS the draw was being
swung back into place, the express.
pounding along the rails at fast
speed, approached and was auto
matically shunted onto the derailing
tracks. Owing to the speed the train
is said to have been travelling, the
first three cars jumped the tracks
and bounded along the rails.
The engine came to a stop about
100 feet from the enbankment. Had
the cars gone over the enbankment,
they would have been precipitated
into the waters of the Housatonic.
The fireman, whose name could not
be learned, was thrown from the cab
and he received broken thumb. The
passengers in the smoker were
shaken considerably and the occu-
pants of all the cars, five in number,
were much excited
Traffic was delayed for only
short time.
New Britain herald., 1915-03-23

In localities where the soil does
not freeze, the manure may be applied
in the autumn and the soil repeatedly
spaded during the winter whenever
it is dry enough to be worked. The
value of freezing at the North can to
an extent be attained by repeated
spadings at the South. The one gen
eral precaution which should always
be observed is never stir the soil
while it is wet
New Britain herald., 1915-03-23

the land SO as to turn the manure
under and leave the soil in a rough,
lumpy condition SO as to secure the
benefit of the digestive action of the
winter freezes in reducing the soils.
This should be repeated annually at
the North. If the soil is light and
sandy, a mulch of manure may be
spread over it in the fall and the
spading delayed until spring.

their box and pie supper and heard
one of the, best programs given by a

was prettily decorated in autumn
leaves and jack-o-lanterns. The pro-
gramme consisted of very clever
stunts and scenes and a real negro
minstrel, which could not have been
better by grown up FOLKS. Their
jokes were good, and their old south

all, especially when they sang

youngsters jigged to its tune.
