Strawberries Good as Lime.

The interest shown by the
farmers at the Wednesday even
ing session of the institute last
week when they sprung the lime
question on Mr., Fassett induced
us to make private inquiry into
some of the answers he gave.
Mr.. Fassett was asked if he ever
found it necessary to offset the
acidity caused by that large guam
tity of decaying vegetable mat
ter, by the use of lime, and he
replied that he did not. Aston
ishment was pictured on more
than one countenance. In a lit
tie talk with him at his hotel that
evening, Mr.. Fassett explained
that his soil was deep sandy
loan, and that it had been his
experience that the greater the
growth of strawberry vine the
greater his difficulty in control
ling the growth of clover as a
weed among the strawberries.
He believes that a good growth
Of Strawberries keeps his soil
sweet. Again, he confessed that
probably since his soil along the
Susquehanna river belonged to
the older glacial formation, and
which is known to be so inter-
mingled that it is difficult to de-
termine which original soil pre-
dominates, sufficient disintegrat-
ed limestone may be mixed with
the soil to prevent acidity such
as we experience here in Fulton
county, and according to the light
we have on the use of lime, this
seems to be the only logical So
luton Of an apparent contradic-
tion of Fulton county experience.
We have heard of other small
localities where the application
of lime was useless-indeed
harmful-and we are sure that
investigation would reveal SINH
lar conditions to that of Mr..
Fassett's farm. Some agency in
the soil of these small areas alb
serbs, so to speak, the harmful
acids that are known to accumu-
late in Fulton county soils to such
extent that a little lime must oc-
casionally be applied to restore a
natural balance.

Bits Of News and Gossip Extracted

Distant Subscribers.

Another former Fulton county
boy who thinks that the News is
Just like getting a letter from
home" is Charles S. Mellott, of
Milledgeville, III. He is a son of
Dayton Mellott formerly of this
county, now of Chambersburg.
He describes Milledgeville as be-
ing a thriving town about the
size of McConnellsburg and well
supplied with stores, a bank, ele-
vator and two railroads, three
churches, and good schools. 1t
is a great farming community,
but like other localities, they had
their share of foot and mouth dis
ease among stock. He says Il
work for j. H. Gayman and Son,
who are also Pennsylvanians, and
they treat me fine, so that | feel
quite at home. Mr.. Gayman's
son Milton, had his hand crushed
in a cornsheller about two months
ago, and it had to be amputated
along with part of his arm about
six inches below the elbow. He
had to have 152 head of cattle
and hogs killed on account of foot
and mouth disease. They were
valued at $4,000. So you see
that farmers are subject to acci-
dents and great losses careful
as they may be-" Mr.. Mellott
goes on to enumerate a long list
of avoidable accidents, such as
foolhardy acts, pouring coaloil in
the stove in the morning to start
the fire, consulting fortunetellers
who fleece their victims, driving
on to railroad tracks, getting full
of booze, &c.

The Limit Of Legal Tender.

The largest amount that per-
son making payment may offer
in silver or copper coins, with the
certainty that the other party to
the transaction can not refuse, is
commonly known as the limit
of legal tender" A definite
limit is specified for coins of each
denomination except gold coins
and silver dollars, both of which
may be used in making legal ten
der up to any amount. Of the
smaller coins now current, l-cent
and Scent pieces are good only
up to 25 cents. Dimes, quarters
dollars and half dollars are good
in making payments up to $40.
Although it is done as a matter
of business custom, there is no
law compelling any one to make
change, and, as a matter of law,
a street car conductor, for ex-
ample, can refuse to take the
5-cent fare out of a dime just as
he can refuse to take it out of a
$40 bill.

Suffrage Bill Now id Senate.

The resolution providing for a
suffrage amendment to the State
Constitution has been referred to
the Judiciary Committee in the
Senate and will probably be re-
ported out at the next meeting of
that committee. Owing to the
ten-day vacation which the Leg
islature has declared in honor of
Washington's Birthday, it is
likely that the final vote on the
bill will not be taken until early
in March. But meanwhile, the
suffragists are not worrying de
spite the eleventh hour fight that
was made against their bill in
the House. The lobbyists for the
interests that oppose the measure
have already canvassed the SEN
ate and found little cause for en-
couragement there. The Repub-
lican party, which is in power,
has let it be distinctly understood
that the party pledge on suffrage
shall be kept and the whole ques-
tion put up to a referendum vote
of the people at the polls this
fall. The House vote on the suf-
frage resolution last week was
l30 ayes and II noes.
