LIME SUPPLEMENTS
 FERTILIZERS

Lime does not take the place of fertilizers or manure. put supple of the New York Experiment Station. When any form of lime is applied alone and no adequate provision is made for maintaining the supply of fertility and organic matter, crops cannot be kept up and the returns from the use of lime become less and may finally drop below that of the land that is not Timed, according to the bulletin. Lime corrects the acid ity of the soil, and produces the sweet ness that is desirable for raising most crops, but does not supply the plant food.

 Medicine is simply a system of stim- ulatioh-and depression. When the
 pendulum of life swings too far one way or the other it must be brought back to normal. The common foods and condiments in the house furnish very liberal ''materia medica," for the domestic treatment of common ai1- ments For instance, salt, pepper, vinegar, mustard, soda. kerosene, etc., do wonders when intelligence is used in applying them and many women are experts in this work.
 It requires no taxing of ones mem ory to recall when mother applied pork, pepper and vinegar treatment, with the aid of a stocking bandage around the neck for sore throat or the lasses that had to be taken in the spring as a blood medicine, all simple but effectual remedies, even though they are considered a punishment to a child.

ENTRYMEN CANNOT MAKE A
LAND SALE PRIOR TO PROOF

If an entryman makes an illegal
sale previous to making final proof
in a desert land entry, he can escape
the effects Of such violation if he
backs W" in time. Such is virtual
ly the decision of the secretary Of
the interior in the appeal in the case
of H. L. Flowers VS.. Alexander Stew
art, involving 200 acres.
Flowers charged and Stewart adj
mitted, that the latter had made a
contract with John F. Holloway for
the sale of his interest in the land
for $1,000, of which Holloway paid
$4,000 in cash, giving notes for the
balance. But Mr.. Stewart declared
that as soon as he found it would
be a violation of the law to so dis
pose of his land before final proof
was made, he rescinded his contract
with Mr.. Holloway, who was willing
and gave Mr.. Holloway valuable
water rights that would cover the
payment of $4,000 and tore up the
two notes of $4,000 each that Hollo-
way had signed.
