E NJ OF ALFALFA PLANT
Not Worth While for Farmer to Waste
Expensive Seed on Sour or
Alkaline Soils.

Sour soil and alkali are enemies Of
alfalfa. Most sOur soils are sandy
soils where the drainage is too good
and the lime has been leached out.
They can be sweetened by adding
ground limestone where this process
is not too expensive and teaching les
sened by Incorporating plenty of hui
mus I'm the soil. This can be done by
applying stable manur or blowing I'M
der green anu in the form of grow
ing crops, etc.
Alkali soils usually are badly drained
and can be corrected by supplying this
factor. It is not worth while to waste
alfalfa seed on sour or alkaline soils.
If they cannot be corrected, raise some
other crop.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of ~Agriculture.)
The production of thymol from
hOrsemint maysbe, under favorable
circumstances, a profitable CONNER
clal undertaking, according to a re-
cent publication of the United States
department Of agriculture, Bulletin
372. Thymol. which is extensively
used in medicine, was formerly i'm
ported from northern Europe where
It is manufactured from seed grown
in northern India. The European
war, however, has reduced the impor-
tatiOns of this substance from $4,000
pounds in 1914 to a little more than
1000 in 1915. To make up this deficit
IL is believed that thymol might be
manufactured from improved horse
mint plants with which the depart
ment Of agriculture has been expert
menting for some time.
HOrsemint Is found wild on light
sandy soils over the entire region
from southern New York to Florida,
and westward to Wisconsin, Kansas
and Texas, and it is probable that it
will thrive under cultivation over the
same area. From 20 to 80 pounds of
oil per acre should be obtained from
a planting, according to the ~investiga-
tons Of the department, and a little
less than 20 per cent Of this oil will
be thymol. The yield of thymol per
acre of %horsemlnt, therefore, is estl-
Western liberal. (Lordsburg, N.M.) 1887-1919, 1916-07-14

pounds from first year paintings to a
little less than 20 pounds for subse-
quent years. The average price Of
thymol for a number Of years prior to
the European war was about 80 a
pound.
The cost Of producing the thymOl
will depend to n great measure upon
whether the hOrsemint is grown In
connection with other Oil-yieldlng
plants for which a distilling appara-
tus is maintained. Unless this is
done. It is said, It is not probable
that the profits will be sufficient to
warrant anyone engaging in the in
dustry. Excluding such items as land
rent, taxes, depreciation, upkeep and
interest on the distilling plant, 1t is
estimated that thymol can be pro-
duced at an approximate cost of $23
per acre the first year, and $40 per
acre thereafter. These figures include
the growing of the plants, fertillza-
ton, cultivation, harvesting and dis
filling. A plantation of hOrsemint
will not have to be replanted oftener
than nee In five years at the most,
and by returning the distilled herb
to the soil, a material reduction IN
cost Of fertilization can be made after
the first year.
Fuller information IN regard to
methods of cultivation, harvesting
and distilllng are contained in Bull
letin 372 which has already been men
toned.

MODERN INVENTIONS OF WAR.

The United States government is
preparing to spend over $1,000,000 as
an initial investment in the most
amazing weapon of warfare produced
in modern times, and it is prepar-
ing to own that weapon exclusively
and keep it's secret guarded from the
world.
The fortifcation bill, introduced in
the house by Representative Sherley
of Kentucky, carried an appropriation
of 81 ,167 900 for the purchase of all
rights and patents covering the Ham
mond destroyer including sum for
the manufacture of a certain number
of these weapons and experimental
ton with them.
John Hays Hammond, Jr., the in
ventor, will assign all patents in the
United States government for the sum
of 100000, plus 10 per cent Of the
cost of installing each radio station
whether ashore or aflOat, plus $4,000
royalty for each destroyer built. This
is based on an order for not less than
three units, a unit consisting of one
station and destrOyers. If the gov
eminent builds only two units, the
lump sum is to be $630,000 If ii
builds only one unit the lump sum
is to be $73O,000. In addition, Mr.
Hammond will give his time and his
services to the government in Install
ing and developing the system, so long
as the war department wants him.
These are some of the things the
destroyer will do:

ABE LINCOLN'S PET PIG.
christian Herald.)

We asked an intimate friend of Lin
coins early manhood to tell us Lin
coin story which had never been
printed, and he related this incident:
"One moonlight night, when walk
ing in the country, we spied a litter
of pigs in the road that had lost their
mother We helped them find her.
And he said to me, L never see on Of
these little creatures that l do not
think of my first pet. When six years
of age a neighbor gave me little pig.
The only garment | had on at the
time was a little shirt my mother
wOve, fastened at the neck with a
wooden button my father had made.
In the front of the garment | wrapped
the pig and carried him home. 1t
took me a week to teach him to eat.
Meanwhile 1 carried him back to his
mother for meals He was my con-
slant companion and we played many
games together. / can see his little
face now said Lincoln, peeping
around the side of the cabin as we
played hide and seek. | carried him
everywhere until he got too big to
carry, and then l made him carry me,
which he did so happily to the plough
ed ground, and to the woods where
helped him find the nuts. One day
father said, Were going to kill the
hog today" 1 asked, What hog?"
He said, Yours" But my wit saved
me, for father turned his back and
jumped on the hog and ran him as
fast as he could go into the woods,
where we stayed all day; and the hot
water in the big kettle was not used.
The next day [ undertook the same
game, but father was too smart for
me. He locked the pig up in the
smokehouse and 1 couldn't reach the
button to get at it. And I got sick
[ could not eat any breakfast; went
off into the woods and stayed all day,
and when [ went home at night l saw
my pet dressed and hanging from a
pole I began to blubber. They never
could get me to take a bite of the
meat, neither tenderloin or rib, nor
sausage or souse. Whenever 1 see a
pig like those little fellows we have
just met in the road back there. my
heart goes back to that pet pig and
to the old homes and the dear ones
there"
