BENEFIT OF LIME ON SOILS
Getting Stand Of Aifaifa-How
to Distribute.

On q few soils which have q ten
dency to sourness, the use Of lime is
beneficial in getting q stand of alfalfa,
and In some cases is necessary to sue
cess. To begin with, one should use
lime experimentally and II possible
learn to grow alfalfa on land that does
not need lime. Where lime is used
it should be applied at the rate OF
5000 to 1000 pounds an acre in any
convenient form except that from gas
works, which contains injurious COM
pounds. Where only a small area is
to be lined, the ordinary barrel lime
allowed to air slake or water slake to
a powder may be used. The ground
limestone is the cheapest form where
large amounts are to be applied. This
Is best applied by means of a lime dis
tributor after plowing and before
working the ground down SO that the
preparation of the seedbed may work
the lime into the soil. For small
area, however, it will be more FEAST
BILE to scatter the lime from wagon
box with q shovel by hand.
The limestone SO common in middle
West states is now becoming available
through the use Of a machine which
grinds the stone into suitable form.

EXACT MEASURES IN FEEDING
Practical Way 10 to Weigh DefiniteI,
What Each Vessel viii Hold
Guess Work Unprofitable.


1t is always best to be exact in feed
ing. Too much guess work. is done
on the farm. That is one reason why
some of us find farming no more prof
table.
In computing rations and feeding.
the various feeds should be weighed.
It Is not always necessary to weigh
every feed, as this may take consider
able time. It is not always practical
to weigh every feed, as feeding is
sometimes done after dark or before
dawn. The practical way is to weigh
q definite quantity as the amount q
measure will hold and estimate each
feed.
A quart measure is q convenient
vessel in which to estimate grain and
other concentrated feeds. A quart of
the following common feeds weighs:
Cottonseed meal, 1.5 pounds; wheat
bran (coarse). s. pounds: wheat mid
ding. coarse (shorts), 8 pounds;

PLANTS FOR NORTH WINDOWS
BY BETTY PAkE.


To make boxes in windows with a
northern exposure attractive and
cheerful I'LL them with the following
plants:
For vines. plant either variegated
vincas or English ivy, or both inter-
mingled. vincas are very bright, but
they will not survive exposure to
freezing temperature. while English
ivy will stand unhurt all through the
winter. Either Of these vines should
be planted about one foot apart. The
main part OF the boxes can be planted
with begonias, which can be procured
from any florist in various colors.
white, pink, red. The boxes. II planted
wholly with material of q uniform
height, are apt to have an artificial
appearance, to prevent which, plants
that grow taller and having a more
graceful habit should be placed. say,
one to every half dozen of the others.
and for this purpose few plants equal
dracaena terminals.
Pansies do fairly well in the shade.
and so does saliva or scarlet sage. II
English ivey is used for vine. it will be
found to be Of advantage in that when
the other plants in the boxes are
killed by frost the ivy remains and can
be left all winter, with the space taken
up by the other plants filed with
small evergreens.

To Enforce 1911 Flat Tax Law.

Many thousands of dollars will be
collected from foreign corporations do
ing business in Colorado as the re-
suit of a campaign which has been
started by the secretary Of states de-
partment to enforce a law passed in
1911 which has been a dead letter up
to the present time. Under this law
foreign corporations when coming in
to Colorado are permitted when they
make filing in the fiat tax department
of the secretary of states office to
make an affidavit showing the
amount of corporate capital, property
and assets employed in this state.
Upon this statement the filing fee of
$40, for the first $4,000 and 80 cents
thousand for each additional thou
sand is based. The law further pro-
vides that whenever the annual re-
port of such corporation shows sub
sequently that the amount of capital
employed in this state has been in
creased, that the corporation must
pay the state an additional 80 cents
for each additional thousand dollars
ON its filing fee. Clerks have been
set to work under the direction of
w. B. Slife, flat tax clerk, checking
force this section of the law Many
large concerns. according to Slife,
have increased their capital in this
state since making their original fill

Alaska Rich in Furs.

Alaska is the great fur-bearing sec
ton of the United States. 1t pro-
0uces about 100000 worth Of furs
annually. These include all varieties.
from squirrel pelts of an average
value of cents each to black fox pelts
at from $3.50 to $3.50 each. The fur
output in 1918 included $500 bear
skins valued at over $4,000 at from
80 for brown bear skins to $40 for the
grizzly or polar bear. The greatest
fur market of the United States Is at
St Louis, but OF the world is at Lon
don. The war in Europe has cut tho
price of Alaska furs about so per cent
this year. Some fox pelts bring very
high prices and are much sought after.

OF soils; soil, moisture and drainage,
newly planted fruit trees, mature
trees. neld crops and insects in the

While the results cannot Be taken
as conclusive for AL conditions, yet
they may indicate that the useful ap-
plication Of dynamite as soil improv-
er is limited. It's usefulness may de-
pend largely upon local conditions.
No definite benefits were derived
from its use in either orchard or field
crops. What it might do under diff
ferent conditions, or over longer pc
RODS, is yet to be determined. One
pond was drained and the other was
not. Its usefulness in shooting an open
ditch, blasting powders and blowing
stumps cannot be questioned.
It may be very useful in draining
land where no outlet can be found for
. tile drain. How permanent its eff
feet may be is not known. As to de-
stroying insects (ants), 1t has not
proved to be of any use. It is proba-
bly, safe to conclude that the applica-
tion Of dynamite as soil improver is
greatly limited and that 1t would al

Denver.-Predatory animals exact
the largest toll OF livestock grazing
on the national forests of the West.
while disease causes the smallest pro-
portion OF animal losses, according to
figures for 1915. compiled by John H.
Hatton, assistant district forester in
the Denver Federal building. Wolves
were responsible for the greater part
of the cattle losses last year. Bears
were second in importance. Coyotes
killed three-fourths of the sheep,
while bears, lynxes and wildcats we're
responsible for the remainder of the
sheep losses.
The total of animal losses for 1915
in national forests in Western states
was more than 100000. the report
states. The losses represent less than
1 per cent of a total of 1897 ,640 cat
tie and horses and S,732,210 sheep
and goats. The loss of horses was
only about 10 per cent of the cattle
losses.
Cattle losses from disease last sum-
mer on the national forest ranges in
Colorado were 342 head; from preda-
tory animals, 327 head. Predatory
animals exacted toll of 1882 sheep
