Lime Not a Fertilizer,

There is a general impression among
farmers that lime is fertilizer. Lime
is not a fertilizer The prime reason
for applying lime TO the soil is to cor
rect sourness or acidity where such ex-
lists. The legume crops, such as clover
and alfalfa, do not thrive on sour soil
unless the soil is very rich. Sour soils
are not well suited to the development
Of beneficial bacteria, which are found
in the tubercles Of these crops. 1t is
mainly for the puEpose of favoring the
growth of these bacteria that lime is
applied to soils. Ground limestone is
the form of lime which Is usually
cheapest as a soil sweetener.
There are other effects Of lime. bur
most Of them are of Jess Importance.
Lime tends to make plant food avail
able from the soil, although this is
largely through its beneficial effect on
the bacteria. In large quantities it
tends to make clay soils more friable.
but this effect of lime is usually OBJ
served only where the freshly water
slaked or air slaked lime is applied in
large quantities. Ground limestone has !
much less effect in this respect.
A fertilizer usually gives a quick re-
spOnse in the crop to which It is an |
piled provided the soil is in need of the
plant food added. Lime, on the other
hand, usually has a less immediate
effect, the benefit being distributed
through a number of seasons. On very
sour soils. however. where enough lime
Is added to entirely sweetca the sur
face Of siy or seven inches PIe effect
upon crops. particularly clover and al.
Ialfa, is often immediate and striking.

SAVE THE POTATO CROP.
Late Blight ard Rot Fungus Now Pre-
Vailing In Ohio.

Gohio agricultural experiment station
The late blight and rot fungus Of DO
tato has been collected in practically
all Of the potato fields about Wooster
Aug. GIG, 1915, by representatives OF
the botanical department of the Ohio
experiment station. This has already
made unusual progress Under the re-
cent cool, moist weather and certainly
has been at work for a week or more.
The same fungus was collected Aug.
10, 1904; July %, 1905; Aug. 0, 1906
and Aug. 13 and II, 1912. Should the
season continue, as heretofore with
cool weather or be very moist it is
feared the injury to the late crop may
prove to be very great, even exceeding
that Of 1905.
This disease works very rapidly and
is distinguishable from the other dying

frosted appearance of the under por-

FOR GOOD sILAeE.

Any crop, to make good silage.
should be harvested at the prop

dom viii corn and cane be ready
for silage at the same time.
Corn is usually ready several
weeks before cane has reached
. the proper stage of maturity.
The mixing of the two crops un-
der these circumstances would
not increase the value of the re-
sulting silage, and, in addition.
the labor Of filling would likely
be increased. The best results
will come from putting the corn
into the silo when it has reached
the proper stage. This will be
while the stalk and leaves are
still green and when the ears
have reached the stage when
they have begun to dent or be-
come hard.-Hansas Farmer.

Itisa grave mistake for mothers to neg
1ect their aches and pains and suffer in
silence-this only leads to chronic sick
ness and often shortens life.
Ifyour work is firing; if your nerves are
excitable; if you feel languid, weary or
depressed, you should know that Scott s
Emulsion overcomes just such conditions.
It possesses in concentrated form the
very elements to invigorate the blood,
strengthen the tissues, nourish the nerves
and build strength.
Scott's is strengthening thousands of
mothers-and will help you. No alcohol.
