That it costs no more to keep q good
than poor COW is one of those trite
and misleading sayings which do more
harm than good. 1t may not cost more
to keep the breath Of life In the body Of
the good COW, and 1t may be that on
scanty feed she might show somewhat
larger production; but what makes the
good COW good 10 her ability to digest
and assimilate large quantities of feed
and so change it into merchantable prod
ucts of greater value. It does cost moro
to keep the good COW, and therein lies
her value. The moro she consumes, the
larger the net profit to the owner. She
occupies no more stable room, and 1t re-
quires but little more time TO attend her;
yet ono good COW may show more net
profit on feed cost than do five COWS OF
the poorer kind.ztN. b. Gardner, Supt.

where the campers had chopped the

After looking closely at these stumps
November went swiftly back to the
camp and spent the next ten minutes
In following the tracks which led In

A Typical Case.

Ii is not uncommon TO hear the state
ment that "this soil once grew clover
but now the season has changed and it
ia impossible to get a stand" Is this
the reason? Experiments show that
when soils become acid, bacteria, which
live upon the roots of all legumes, will
not exist il the soil lacks in lime.
The following experience is taken
from the Ohio Agricultural College Ex-
tension Bulletin:
The effect of lining Is we'll illustrated
by the experience Of large number OF
farmers. OF late years their meadows
and pastures have become 10 mauy in
stances a failure. They have failed in
getting them to grow clover and timothy
as in former years. They prepare the
| land the best they know how, manure
and fertilizs all they think they can at
| ford, and SOW more seed than they did
years ago. The clover and timothy ger

months pass along, the seeding becomes
thin, weeds taking the place. OF the clo-
YER and timothy. Sometimes they attrib-
ute it to the drought, at other times to
the frost, then again the season
some of these men have purchased lime
and applied it to their soil at some co.,
venient time in the rotation, possibly, as
they were preparing their seed bed for
corn or wheat. These grain crops may
not have been materially affected by the
lining; the main thing they were after
was clover and they got 1t. There may
be spots where for some reason no lime
was applied and there clover is lacking;
but the remainder Of the field has fine
growth, and this despite the fact that
the whole field was cultivated and ferti-
lized alike. Lining the soil Is done
principally for the purpose of increasing
the clover crop.
However, on many acid soils there no
doubt will be material increase in the
yield OF these crops following an appli-
cation of lime. 1t will be noticed that
they will be greensr and have a moie
thrifty appearance. This is because the
bacteria which cause the organic matter
of the soil to decay and those which
cause uitrification, the process by which
nitrates are formed. are also enabled to
carry on their work more effectively be-
cause of the sweetened condition Of the
soil due TO lime. Notwithstanding this
fact. when lime is applied the Increase
is to be sought in the clover crop. How
ever, increasing the growth of the clo-
YER may be expected to increase the
crops which follow, because, as is we'll
known, that crop has q beneficial int1u-
snce upon the fertility of the soil. This
benefi fetal effect is due 10 part to the ad
dition of nitrogen to the soil; the more
clover, the more nitrogen. Then IL this
nitrogen 10 supplemented with phos.
phoric acid and potash in commercial
fertilizers, the plant food requirements
for maximum yields Of other crops will
be met. By feeding these crops on the
farm, q liberal quantity Of manure Is GO
ing to be available for use wherever
needed. Thus the saying,

ist and An Excellent Film;
Doubly Attractive Bill

There was doubly attractive bill at
the Regent last night. For the enter
tainment did not confine itself alone
TO the showing of an excellent film,
but introduced to this city what is
promised to be permanent feature OF
the theater-the services of Professor
Wallace, blind pipe organist. Mr.. Ma
garo has installed into the theater
four manual pipe organ, and as fea-
ture coincident with its opening had
Professor Wallace play it for the first
time. AS stated before. Professor Wal
lace is blind, so the fact of his playing
a pipe organ is of itself a marvel. But
even greater is his accomplishment
when one stops to consider that ms
playing is being done for motion pic
lure Accompaniment. And in this re-
spect was his work last evening mar
Velous. His playing took more of the
form of concert work, but his num-
bers were so well timed that one who
might not observe too closely would
easily believe that he was watching
the film and adapting the music to the
film as it was being shown.
The organ that has been Installed is
one that for tone and quality is most
aptly fitted to the theater. Volume
there is in plenty, put not 100 mucn
for the room. And quality in tonal
production is its beauty, especially
when handled in manner as capable
as last night.
The film which was shown was one
of the Paramount Picture Corporation
program, THE Wild Goose Chase
featuring Ina Claire. who, three years
ago, made her Zig hit with Clifton
Crawford at the Park Theater, New
York, in THE Quaker Girl" THE
Wild Goose Chase is a delightful
comedy which tells the story of how
two grandfathers in France wish their
American grandchildren to marry
Each of the children, however, decide
that they will not marry blindly, and
each, accordingly, runs away. But in
the events which follow they find each
other, and, not knowing who the other
is, they fall in love. Affairs soon right
themselves and the young couple. vic
tins of Vaccinations of their grand
fathers, find complete happiness in
their love. The film is one with enough
comedy to make an audience laugh
frequently: and enough dramatic in
terest to keep the audience at drama
pitch all the time.
