Don't Miss Jewel. 7"

The faith little Jewel had is the
faith which is going to improve the
world some day. She was a wonder
full little creature and she came just
at the right time. We are getting
rusty with old fashioned ideas and
peculiar opinions as to the system of
living, but she has taken some of
the scales from our eyes and we see
more clearly since she came among
US.
To miss seeing Jewel is to deny
ourselves something which we need
to improve our existence. 1t is a
sermon preached to US in wonder

every man, woman and child lot

despite our every effort the tears

ness arises in our threats which has

see level and not be affected by her
presence is to be without soul.

Minnesota Experiment Station Senos
Out a Warning to Farmers.
Owing to the fact that black leg anu
late blight have been very prevalent LII
practically every potato growing sec
tion of Minnesota, the attention OF all
potato growers is called to the impor-
lance of the rots which follow these
diseases, says A. G. Tolaas, assistant
in plant pathology at the Minnesota
experiment station.
Black leg is a wilt disease which Is
characterized by a following or the
vines, upward curling Of the leaves
and an inky black discoloration OF the
stems, extending from the seed piece
to several inches above the surface OF
the soil in most cases. Tubers under
such vines develop black, foul smell
ing, soft rot, generally beginning at
the stem end Of the potato.
Late blight is characterized by
grayish brown discoloration of the
leaves, the under sides of which are
covered with grayish white mold.
The disease gets into the soil from the
diseased leaves and causes in the tu-
bers a grayish brown, mealy dry rot
In external appearance it appears as
sunken, purplish, water soaked spots.
Potatoes containing either of these
rots will serve as means for spread

Use of Lime In Soil BUILDING.

Indirectly lime is a potent force In
soil building. 1t acts as a stimulant
and as an antidote for soil acidity. AL
though 1t Is not plant food itself, ex
cept in very limited amounts, it pro
notes the growing Of legumes, and this
makes it possible to cheaply add nitro
gen to the soil.
The presence of lime in the soil where
large amounts of fresh organic matter
are present hastens the decay of this
material. Weeds, cornstalks or straw
can be of no use to a growing crop
until thoroughly decomposed. The or
ganisms necessary for bringing about
the rapid decay of this raw material
cannot work in the presence of acid
Lime neutralizes this acid as fast as it
forms, and the decomposition rapidly
goes on.
Lime Is commonly spoken of as a fer
tliizer, and in this sense it may be so
called. 1t is a well known fact that
soils rich in lime are. nearly always
highly productive. The true function
of lime should be fully understood, and
In every section where its absence is
responsible for poor soil conditions
efforts should be made to supply this
deficiency.-Kansas Farmer.

ing disease to healthy tubers if placed
with them in storage. 1t is therefore
important to discard any tubers that
show the slightest indications of these
rots at digging time.
Proper storage is of the utmost i'm
portance. A dry, well ventilated stor-
age cellar, kept as close to tempera-
ture of 80 degrees as possible, will keep
these rots from spreading. During dig
ging and handling great care should
be taken not to bruise the tubers, since
it is by means of wounds that these
rots spread most rapidly in storage.

ARE WE DEGENERATING7

It is estimated that rs per cent more
people wear glasses now than 20 years
ago, If this is so-and we believe 1t
to be so--it would appear at first
thought to indicate an alarming de-
generation. This conclusion, however,
is wrong. 1t is, rather, sign of ad-
vanced education and greater wisdom.
Nowadays vast numbers of people wear
glasses not to improve vision or see
better, but purely to prevent over
ocular exertion and consequent strain.
We are daily becoming more nation
of mental than physical laborers and
it is accepted by all that WEAKNESS
from mental overwork is far more dis
tressing than physical exhaustion, and
less easily rested. Herein lies the
secret of the increase Of eyeglass wear
ers.
It is proved beyond doubt by the ex-
perience of thousands, that the cor
rection of eye sight trouble (Which
were ignored by the old schooD causes
an immense saving in nervous energy
The individual whose eyes are thus
corrected can turn that energy, which
was previously wasted, to more useful
account, whether in business, study
or home life, and, at the same time
become less irritated with the worries
and difficulties of the day.
We are doing more with less wasted
enerpy than ever before in the history
of the world. Nervousness Dizziness
