DETERMINE ACIDITY OF SOIL
Simple and Fairly Reliable Test Can Be Made by Applying Piece of
 Blue Litmus Paper.

(By ". R. DODsON. Louisiana Expcr,-
 ment StatonD
 If white clover, or any of the clov. CTS naturally thrive on tho soil, it Is apt to be an indication that the soil is not acid. There are certain plants that are naturally inclined to thrive on acid soil. For instance, the pres. ence of blackberry bushes as a nat. ural growth would indicate that the soil was probably acid. as blackberries thrive in acid soil A growth of SOY rel indicates an acid soil Soils that become carpeted in winter with a mosslike hedge are generally acid. If cultivated lands produce good ccy. peas, clovers and legumes in serecal, it is an indication that .ho so,l is not acid.
 A simple and fairly reliahl. test rsat can be made is to get piece If rJUe litmus paper and progs i: against the moist soil. If in a few m;nutos 1t .u.ns red, 1t indicates that the soil ls acid This is net an absolute test. but te reliable enough for all practical Dnr. poses. If tho soil is actd Y should have lime added.

SANITATION IN DAIRY HOUSE
Extreme Care and Cleanliness Should Be Observed to Prevent Entrance
 of Bacteria Into Milk.

Unless considerable care is taken large numbers of bacteria may lind their way into the milk during the process of milking. Cows should be mixed in clean, well-lighted stables. After grooming and before milking, the udders, Hanks, and bellies of the COWS should be carefully wiped with a damp cloth to remove any dust or loose hairs which might fall into the milk pail. Only those persons who are free from communicable disease should be allowed to handle milk or even enter the stable or dairy house.
 After the COWS are prepared for milking each milker should thorough ly wash his hands and put on a pair of clean overalls and a jumper or

WHY :ANURIC" IS AN INSURANCE AGAINST SUDDEN DEA Sufferers from Backache Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble

Before an Insurance Company will take risk on your life the examining physician will test the urine and re- port whether you are a good risk. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog, you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and pains of lumbago, rheumatism and gout. The urine is often cloudy, full of sediment; channels often get sore and sleep is disturbed two or three times night. This is the time you should consult some physician of wide experience-such as Dr. Pierce, of the 1nvalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for sample package of his new discovery "Anuric." Write him your symptoms and send sample of urine fo~ taet

USE PATIENCE WITH CALVES
Young Animals Must Be Handled Care. fully-Can Be Taught to Drink
 Milk Very Easily.

Handle the newborn calf as you would baby.
 First of all, keep it warm, and be sure it gets it's first milk warm from it's mother.
 Keep it clean and keep the mother free from excitement.
 If you separate the calf from it's mother on the third day, give it the milk warm from it's mother.
 With a little kindness and patience, young calves can be taught to drink very easily.
 Never jam a calf's head up to it's eyes in milk-it is cruel.
 Let the calf suck the finger; care fully release the finger, and the job is done.

wear suit which is used for no oth- CT purpose The suit must be kept clean and occasionally sterilized with steam or by boiling in water. The milking stool must also be clean, to avoid soiling the mixers hands.
 The small-top milk pail is a neces. sity in the production of clean milk, as it presents only small opening into which dust and dirt may fall from the air or from the cows body. It has been found by experience that the use of this kind of pail greatly re- duces the number of bacteria in milk from average dairies. Many types of milk pails are for sale, but any tin ner can convert an ordinary pail into a small-top pail by the addition of a hood.

FEEDING SILAGE TO CALVES
YearIing Animals Will Consume About One-Half as Much as Mature Stock
 Keep Free From Mold.

Calves may be fed silage as soon as they are old enough to eat it. It is perhaps of greater importance that the silage be free from mold or decay when given to calves than when given to mature cattle. They may be given all the silage they will eat up clean at all times. Yearling calves will con. sume about one-half as much as ma- ture stock; that is, from 15 to 20 or more pounds a day. When supple mented with some good leguminous hay, little, if any, grain will be re. quired to keep the calves in thrifty, growing condition.

There are numerous forms of indi- vidual hoghouses constructed to be portable and adapted to accommodate a SOW with pigs, or two or three hogs. Almost every portable house that IS built possesses certain features pe- culiar to itself and rendered necessary by the circumstances which it IS h. tended to meet.

The doors, yentilators and roof are so arranged as to provide for ample fresh air and shade The wires fas- tened to the roof fFig. 9 and lying on it serve to hold up the back for ventilation and to shade the ground. The back is swung open and the hooks that held it shut are hooked in these pieces of wire. In the winter the house can be closed to slut out the cold winds and the roof opened to give fresh air and sunlight to the in terior.

and routine.

cealed that Clark. with the alleged
assistance Of an employee in the Blu
reau OF Navigation familiar with the
records Of enlisted mon of the navy,
had obtained small sums OF money FROM
certain enlisted men scheduled for
promotion. The alleged graft condi-
tions were revealed to the department
through the accidental finding OF a
private letter written TO Clark by an
enlisted man. in which IL appeared
that tho messenger had agreed to OBJ
