ponds on DryneSS.

"Slaked lime, If it can be had at
less cost than ground limestone, ard
If in condition to spread well, is ell
tirely satisfactory for correcting acid
ity In sour Soils"
This is the reply Of the soils de-
partment at the Wisconsin experiment
station to numerous inquiries as to
which of the two is the better. Out
side of the cost, the relative value
and merits Of these two forms of lime
depends on their dryness of fineness,
for these factors influence the readi-
ness with which the lime can be spread
on the land.
Chemically, slaked lime Is practic-
ly the same as the limestone unless ii
is slaked only enough to make it I'M
fit for masons' use. In such case, it
may still be quite caustic and have
many Jumps. Caustic lime is nearly
twice as effective as the ground lime
stone in neutralizing acidity pound for
pound, but 1t costs more and Is much
harder to distribute because the Jumps,
ut least, must he water slaked. For
these reasons, the ground limestone il
usually preferable when 1t can be had
at a reasonable price.
In regard to the crops for which
lime is applied, one caution especially
must be observed, and that Is, not to
put caustic lime on land that is to be
planted to potatoes the first year.

REMOVE HORNS FROM CALVES
Agent Is Caustic Potash in Pen
ell or Stick Form.

The best dehorning agent is caustic
potash fused in the pencil or stick
form. The caustic should be applied
as soon as the budding horn or button
can be felt under the skin. AS a rule
this can be done when the calf Is but
a few weeks old, and although it ia
claimed by some that horns may be
removed from animals six months old,
1t Is undoubtedly best to operate early.
advises Dr. e. Fl. Lehnert In Farm and
Home.
When the proper time arrives, clip
the hair over the horn from an area
the size of half dollar, wash with
soapsuds and rub on the moistened
caustic To prevent the caustic from
running, moisten it only slightly, and
apply lard or vaseline all about the
spot treated When the scabs fall off, a
careful examination should be made,
and If the horn is still prominent,
make another application of the caus-
tic. To protect the fingers. wrap the
caustic well with paper. If active caus-
tic is thoroughly applied over a suf-
fciently large area, the horn will UNI
failingly be killed by one application.

Excellent RESULTS
WITH GRAIN RATION
Mixture of CornmeaI, Wheat Mid
dIings and Tankage Recon-
mended for Young Pigs.

The Pennsylvania State college agri-
cultural experiment station has OBJ
tanned excellent results with young
pigs by feeding a grain mixture Of
cornmeal, parts; wheat middlings,
parts, and tankage, 1 part.
The addition of skim milk increases
the rate of gain. If skim milk is fed
with this grain mixture, the amount
of cornmeal may be increased to six
parts.
Other mixtures recommended are
cornmeal, 8. parts, and tankage one
part, or skim milk three parts and
cornmeal one part. II possible, pas
ture crops should be used for growing
pigs.
For quick growth two to four pounds
of g ain per 100 pounds of live weight
daily in addition to pasture crops are
required.
