HINTS FOR FARMERS.

To protect fruit trees from mice:
Tar, one part; tallow, three parts.
Mix. Apply hot to the bark of the
tree with a paint brush.
To destroy moss on trees: Paint
them with auicklime whitewash mixed
with wood ashes.
Grating wax: Resin, one pound;
beeswax, one pound; with tallow or
lard sufficient to soften it until it can
be readily applied.
Oiled cloth for hotbeds, etc.: Take
four ounces linseed oil, two ounces
lime water, one ounce white of egg,
two ounces of the yolk Of egg. Mix
oil and lime water together at a gentle
heat. The eggs beat separately. Then
mix all together. Stretch canvas or
cloth to be w%aterproofed tightly upon
n frame and spread on two or three
coats as it dries. Repeat until water
proof.
Salve to cure foot rot in sheep: Mix
four ounces best honey, two ounces
burnt alum. reduced to powder, and
one-half pound Armenian bole, with as
much fish oil as will convert 1t into a
salve. The honey must first be gradu.
ally dissolved. then the Armenian bole
stirred in afterward. The alum and
oil are added.-American Agriculturist

New Bean Resists Blipht.

A new variety Of beans has been de-
Velopcd at the Michigan Agricultural
college that will resist blight and out
yield other varieties. During the past
three years the anti-blight beans have
averaged thirty-five bushels per acre
in the college variety tests. in which
We're included many of the high yield
ing Michigan varieties, such as Cooks.
Boston. Lands. Scully's, Shocsmith
and Il number Of others. In each case
the best yields of the other types made
only IN average of twenty-five bushels
per acre.
The new bean originated in Il single
seed planted in 1908 and has been test
ed under heavy disease conditions. 1t
is the only bean that resisted the dis
case conditions enough to be fully ripe
and to drop its leaves by bean pulling
time in 1914. However. this bean is
not disease free. and there is Il sharp
distinction between disease resistance
| and freedom from disease. The anti
blight bean. us it is called. is one
$hat will fill its pods and mature a crop
in spite of disease conditions.

INGREDIENTS OF FERTILIZERS
Three Elements That Afford an In
creased Crop Yield.

Present agricultural practice pre-
scribes the use of three chemical ele-
mcnts as a soil amendment" a "stim-
ulant for plant growth" or a plant
food" as it is variously put. These
three elements when applied to the
soil in which a crop is growing have
been found by practice to afford an
Increased crop yield. They are phos-
phorus, potassium and nitrogen, spo-
ken of by the trade terms Of phos-
phoric acid. potash and "ammoniates."
The nations supply of these three
common ingredients of fertilizer may
be summarized rs follows: Of phos-
phoric acid there is an abundant sup
ply in the large deposits of phosphate
rock in Florida and Tennessee and
the enormous deposits of Idaho. Mon
tana and Wyoming.
OF potash, now obtained exclusively
from the German mines, there is little
known in this country outside of the
des'ccated reSidues in Searles lake, Cal
ifOrnia. and the giant KEEPS of the Pa
citic littoral. In the latter there is much
more than enough to supply the pres
ent demands of the fertilizer trade of
the United States, the present annual
consumption Of potash being about
100000 tons Of varied composition.
At present the kelps are not supplying
any of this. since it has not been de-
termined by actual experimentation on
a commercial scale that they a be
used economically as a source of pot
ash.
OF "~ammoniates'' there is a large
source in the ammonia produced as a
%byproduct i'll the distillation of coal
for the production of gas or coke or
both. This source is but partially de-
vc!oped. as by the methods most com
monty practiccd in this country this
possible byproduct is not recovered.
The amount Of ammonia now going to
| waste is almost large enough to supply
all Of the "ammoniates" now demand
eli by the fertilizer trade. The abat-
toirs supply 4 large amount of tankage
and dried blood of high fertilizer value.
but of these possible byproducts there
is still an enormous loss through the
lack Of organization and cooperation
| in the small scale slaughter of animals
for food.

soils do not become perceptibly acid
even after they have been cultivated
for a long time for the reason that
they are based on limestone rock or
are glaciated soils which have IL large
amount of limestone in the glacial mat
ter deposited. In the course of time,
however. even these soils will become
acid simply through the washing of
the lime out of the soil into the wells
or springs.
Support is given to this statement by
the we'll known fact that semiarid soils
are alkaline. the very reverse of acid.
This alkalinity may not come from an
excess of lime. for there are other al
kalis besides lime. Sometimes soils in
the semiarid regions become so aka
line that they will not grow alfalfa or
clover; but. singularly enough. they
will grow sweet clover luXuriantly.
This alkalinity in semiarid soils, from
whatever source it may arise original
ly, is due simply to the fact that there
is not enough rainfall to wash II the
alkaline substance.
Soils so excessively alkaline that
they will grow nothing but alkaline re
sistant plants. such as alkali grass.
can in time be made productive sim
| ply by washing out by irrigation and
drainage.
The question Of how soils become
acid or lacking in alkalies of various
kinds is not. however. of so much i'm,
portalme as how to correct this acidity
in order that we may grow the le-
gulnps. particularly clover and alfalfa
The only way known as yet is by tho
application Of lime, either in the form
of ground limestone land the finer il
is ground the better or %quicklime
which is lime from which the carbon
has been expelled by heat, but which
is taken up by the atmosphere soo1
after it Stakes.

WHY SOILS BECOME ACID.
Due to Lime Being Washed Out of the
Land In Humid Sections.

Due to Lime Being Washed Out of the
Land In Humid Sections.
Now that W. have discovered. says
Wallace's Farmer, that clover and al
falfa will not grow on acid soils and
that many failures to grow these leg
umes are due to acidity the question
comes up, Why do soils become acid?
Perhaps the best way Of answering
that question is by asking others: Why
is the water in your we'll hard? Why
does your teakettle become incrusted
with lime?
Soil becomes acid simply because the
lime is being washed out of the land
in the humid section. There is nat
urally a limit to the amount of lime in
the soil. and in process of time the
amount decreases and the soil becomes
acid because lacking in lime. Some

A hollow wall is the most advanta-

The house should be as nearly square
as is practicable, the size depending
on the amount Of storage capacity de-
