Peace may yet be afar off, but peace talk fills the air Germany's plea has been heard. England's answer is sar- castle, but leaves the door open. Presi- dent Wilson calls upon the nations to each state just what it wants. That is the first thing known to start any horse trade. We predict that they will all want peace on their own terms. Deals off for the present The great est struggle of the war will follow next spring and summer. If some thing breaks, peace will come with one side standing with it's foot on the others neck. If on the other hand it is still deadlock, then maybe the peace subject will be opened in dead earnest, and with results. We have as good right to predict as anybody and we insist on predicting that there has to be at least one more big test of strength next spring and summer be- fore the end can possibly come.

BLOW AT DEALERS
IN ROTTEN EGGS

when are eggs adulterated? ''
With the idea of getting the crook
ed egg dealers, the Department of
Agriculture has just worked out an
answer to this question.
It is held that when a shipment or
eggs contains any considerable num-
Der of eggs which are filthy, decom-
posed or putrid,' the whole shipment
is @adulterated." This ruling has a
very important significance. 'Adul-
terated" shipments of eggs are sub
ject to seizure and condemnation I'M
der the Pure Food & Drugs Act
To be more precise. the opinion of
the department is that the charge of
adulteration will stand if there are
eggs in a shipment which are mou1dy,
which contain eyolks stuck to the
shells, black spots, mixed rots or
black rots. The action is designed to
prevent two classes of eggs known in
the trade current receipts and as
rejects from Gambling rooms, from
being mixed with good eggs for sale
for food purposes. 1t appears that
some egg dealers have been doing
this
Eggs which are adu1terated may be
shipped in Interstate or foreign COM
merce for use in tanning or other
technical ways without violating the
provisions of the Food and Drugs Act
only if they are first denatured SO
as to rend them incapable of being
used for food.

PUBLIC MONOPOLY OF MILK.
Municipal, Distribution Under State
Supervision.

1t is urged in Rhode Island by a
state commission that has been study
ing agricultural needs. Its commission
recommends, according to New Eng
land Homestead.
1. All cattle entering the state to be
tuberculin tested, diseased stock to be
killed and paid for at its wholesale
value as food, or at three-quarters val
uation for registered stock. Better
breeding, better testing, better care to
produce milk of good quality.
q The state to fix regulations under
which milk shall be produced and
standards by which it shall be graded,
including pasteurized milk. The New
York standard to be the basis of
grades.
8. Each city of 5000 population or
more to monopoize it's milk traffic.
The one municipal milk depot is to
take the milk in sealed cans from the
producer, bring it to the city. deliver
it to consumers. collect payment
therefor and then pay the producers.
Each city is to pay a fair price for
any tangible property owned therein
by any wholesale or retail milk deal
ers, but is not to pay anything for in
tangible, such as good will and milk
routes. Thus the one municipal deliv-
cry would serve all the consumers in
each street. Each public milk depot
would be responsible to state control;
no private peddlers or other milk
dealers to operate at retail or whole
sale.
4. It's purpose is to insure public
health by supplying only pure milk to
consumers at fair prices, yet by reason
of the state and municipal monopoly
50 to reduce expenses of distribution
that much better prices than here to-
fore may be netted by producers
The Indications now are that within
a year or two law to this effect will
be enacted in Rhode Island In that
case the new plan will be given a
thorough trial.

RAISED
THE BRITISH ARMY

In the March American Magazine
is an account of HedIey Francis LIE
Bas who was employed by the British
vertising. He did tat ST per cent
of the former cost of getting recruits
He also conducted the advertising
campaign by which a $3,O0O,00O, 900
loan was placed.
Mr.. LIE Bas made his ads for SOL
diers interesting, just as he would
have done for purchasers of tea, soap
or tobacco. He formed a committee
of the leading ad writer's in the coun-
try and their posters have filled the
gaps the fighting line for over a
year. When the loan Of $4,000, 100000
was required by the government Mr..
LIE Bas was once more pressed into
service and the three billion was over
subscribed at the end of two weeks.
Through these revolutionary sue
cesses of Mr.. LIE BaS the British Gov
eminent has had good cause to en-
dorse the business of advertising.
"Hed1ey Francis LIE Bas is a genial
gentleman of about fifty-five, old
army man himself, and the son of
Ca plain LIE Bas of Jersey. He is the
founder and head of the Caxton Pub
fishing Company. He is also a direc-
tor of George Newnes, Ltd, and c.
Arthur Pearson, Ltd, two of the larg-
est magazine publishers in Great
Britain.

LIE Bias is the honored p0ssessor Of

LINING THE SOIL.

The use of lime on the land is a
very ancient practice. When the
Romans invaded Britain they found
its use very. common in the chalk
regions and the value of lime in it's
various forms has always been recog-
nized by agricultural writers of the
last several centuries. Recent years
have seen a marked increase in it's
use in central and north eastern
United States.
The effects of Lime -These may
be listed as follows:
1. 1t corrects soil acidity. Many
crops, especially the clovers, alfalfa
and soy beans do not thrive we'll on
acid soils. If for no other reason
than the production of clover hay, the
use of lime is justified on Connecticut
farms.
2. It supplies the soil with a base
which makes the use of fertilizers
more effective.
8. 1t makes the conditions for bac-
teriaI life more favorable
ForIns.-ime is obtainaib1e in sew
eral forms:
1. Ground Limestone. This is about
SO per cent. active lime (CaO) and
should be ground fine enough to pass
through a so mesh sieve. MARI is
about the same composition.
2. Hydrated Lime. When fresh
burned lime is slaked it takes on
about one-third of it's weight of water.
Hydrated lime therefore contains So
70 per cent. active lime (Ca O and
may be either air slaked or water
sIaked.
8. Burned or Masonfs Lime. This
is the product of the lime kiIns. and
may run as high as SO per cent. active
Of the three forms. the Ground
Limestone is the most pleasant to
handle and is usually the cheapest,
everything considered. About twice
as much is required as of Fresh Burn
ed Lime and the purchaser must be
guided by the distance from the
source of supply and the price. Never
buy except on analysis small per
cent of magnesia is not objection
able.
Need of Lime. Practically all Con-
necticut soils need lime. Tests at
the Experiment Stations on large
number of samples have shown re-
quirement of from 1 to tons of
Ground Limestone, the average being
from 2 to tons. The LitmuS Paper
test is not reliable. If you are in
doubt as to the amount Of Lime to
apply, send a sample of your soil to
the Storrs Experiment Station. Storrs,
Connecticut. Directions for sam
p1ing will be sent on application.
When and How to Apply. Lime is
best applied when fitting for cu1ti-
waited crop like corn. Spread it on
the pIoughed field and harrow in.
This gives time for the lime to be-
come effective before clover is seeded.
Top dressing grass land with lime is
seldom profitable.
If the amount applied is large
enough to supply the need of the soil.
and another application will not be
necessary for several years. Also
subsequent applications need not be
SO heavy. If at all possible, this
plan should be the one adopted.
Moderate applications are, however,
usually profitable.
A lime sower does the best work in
applying but is not necessary, Any
method that will spread fairly evenly
will do.
