STOP THE WASTE.

STOP THE WASTE.
 That prohibition prohibits is shown by the fact that the federal govern ment's income has been reduced this year $2000,000 Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Peters says: The revenues from whisky and alcoholic beverages have shrunk considerably over $2,O00000 a year, and this un- occasionally is due to the spread of the temperance movement, and we are preparing to see it continue to dimin- ish from this cause"
 The diminution to come will be be- cause of nine states prohibiting liquor in their borders, to take effect next year. A new plan and system of taxa tion will be arranged and there are many sources of revenue that can be made instrumental for government re- sources.
 The history of prohibition shows that 1t so lessens expenses that the smaller revenue is amply sufficient. Russia's minister of finance testities that even in war times this Is true,  and England's great expert, Joseph Chamberlain, says on this subject: If I could tomorrow destroy the desire for strong drink in the people of Eng land and could prohibit it's use and manufacture, what changes we should see. We should see taxes reduced by millions sterling. We should see our jails and warehouses empty. We should see more lives saved in twelve months than are consumed in a cen tury of bitter, savage warfare"
 Yet men still ask what will happen to the revenues of the country if liquor is abolished Experience, with prohibition almost in its infancy, al- ready shows that there will be no shortage in revenue when the enor- nous waste and drain of the liquor traffic Is once stopped.

THE RED FLAG.

An engineer gave his little girl a small red flag to play with and ex- plained that on the road the red flag signifies danger. Would you stop your train if you saw red flag on the track?" she asked "Yes," he said, "or there might be all accident" After her papa had left, the little girl thought of what she might do to help. and at last she thought of the red flag, and what her papa had told her 1t stands for. Going to the sideboard, she firmly fastened the flag to the decanter and then went to bed satisfied. The father came home. went to the sideboard for the usual nightcap. but saw the flag and understood and needed the warn ing.

WEEKLY LETTER OF CON-
 MISSIONER JOHN H. PAGE
Bureau of Mines Manufactures and
 Agriculture, Little Rock, Ark.

Last week l wrote upon the subject of ground limestone and rock phos phate for Arkansas soils. A great deal has been said upon the subject ot Inning soils, but mostly from the standpoint of correcting acidity. or to De palmer to cure the sourness of soils. This is important and must not be overlooked, but there are oth- CT benefits A good deal of land is called dead, or lifelesssoil, water-soak- ed soil, etc. These all need ground limestone, because almost uniformly, they are sour. But they must be drained well to get the full value of lime. Lime will do but little good on land that is going to remain cover ed with standing water the greater part of the year. First, drain or dry your land if it need it, then apply the lime. Use ground limestone in pref erence to burnt lime The burnt lime Is caustic, and will kill out some of the bacterial life that is so essential to the soil.
 All plants have some lime in them, consequently all soils must have lime in some form. Land that has been cultivated long time with no green stuff, stalks, weeds or other vegetable matter turned under, get hard ana pack, and break up in clods. The soil gets lifeless and poor. When packed the air cannot get into it, and 1t gets poorer and poorer. Lime will loosen it up, make it crumble, and let the air in and the water circulate through it freely. This condition will release more plant food The lime will have a chemical action on the soil particles and release more plant food. If you blow under green-stuif the lime will help to change it into plant food and enrich the soil. Long continued cultivation of sandy soils tends to make them more sandy. The humus or vegetable matter rots and is used up and only sand remains. There is but little life in it and it will not hold moisture. The air cir culates too freely and dries it out too rapidly. It will not hold fertilizer well, and the green stuff turned un- der, sours. Lime it. The lime will help to overcome the difficulties. Lime is an element needed in the soil to help the other elements. It win make more plant food available. It will warm and e!iven the land, let the air and water circulate properly, stimulate certain bacteria in the soil, and on the whole make your land more productive. Every farm that can grow alfalfa should do so. At least one acres in every ten should be in clover and the last crop to be turned under every third year. In the meantime, keep up the COW pea habit. Grow them every year every where you can.
 In using ground limestone, put four tons to the acre. In about four years add about one ton to the acre every year. You will not get your best re- suits the first year. Ground lime stone is "fool-proof." You cannot use too much or hurt your land with it. Buy a car load Don't try to spread it over your entire farm, but put it On ten acres. Next year do likewise and so on until you have Timed your entire farm.

 Commissioner.

Thoughts For the New Year.

Many Of you have asked me to give you

lille to say in the way of telling people
what they should do. do not believe in
preaching, but doing. | do know that
every thought we think, every word we say
and every action we perform is sowing
seed for a future harvest. What we send
out comes back to us at some time and
somewhere.
To me religion is not creed nor mere
label as to what we think or as to what
some one has told us we ought to think.
lelgian is a matter of kindly consistent
living day by day and hour by hour. 1t
includes holding control of the tongue and
temper. 1t includes mercy and charity
and to see the best in everone, and, last
but not least, true religion must include
Kindness to animals. On a lower round of
evolution than we are and to whom we are
practically as gods, just as there are higher
Gods over us. How absurd, then, TO think
that anyone can be cruel to animals and
let them suffer hunger, pain, and overwork
and misery through cold and heat and
then pray 10 the higher powers, please be

answered Exchange.
