Sour Soil and the Wheat Crop.

Nm III m Y Mn Mn N /.
With tine exception of barley, wheat
suffers more from sour lands than
any of our common cereals. 1t is es-
pecially important to test all land to
be seeded in wheat and apply lime if
sour, because you not only get a
larger yield of grain but timothy and
clover are usually seeded in wheat,
and one OF both may fail on sour
soils
The Ohio experiments show that
lime does not take the place Of fer
tilizer or manure, but 1T supplements
them The experiments further
show very strikingly that when lime
and fertilizers are used on the same
land the yield of crops is greater than
the sum of the yields from the two
used separately. However, if lime
il used alone and no provision IL
made for maintaining The supply of
organic matter and plant-food in the
soil, the crop yields cannot b. main
tanned, and the yields from the use
of lime in such system fall off
rapidly and many finally drop below
that of unlimed land Manures, both
green and stock manure, and fertil-
izers should b. used with lime. Lime
i'd best applied with a lime and fer
tilizer distributor just after the land
is plOWed.

WAR WRECKS ARE MADE OVER
Remarkable Operations Being Per-
formed ON Wounded Soldiers of
European Rattlefields-

Onerations by which important and
even vital parts Of the human body,
shattered OF completely shot away,
have been rebuilt or replaced are
now among the commonplace events
of the military hospitals Of Europe.
In the hospitals in England the
science Of surgery has reached
heights heretofore undreamed Of,
thanks largely to the efficient direc-
ton of Sir Alfred Keogh, director
general Of the British army medical
service. From the beginning of the
war Sir Alfred has impra@ I'd flspon
his subordinates the necessity Of the
saving of the limbs of wounded sol
diers when it is at all possible, in
order that the patients may remain
useful members of the community
and not become public charges.
Amputations are now avoided in
thousands OF cases where two years
ago they would have been considered
absolutely necessary. Marvels have
also been accomplished in the new
nerve surgery, which has been devel-
Oped at "a result Of the vast multitude
Qf cases in which the nerves have
been severed.
Sir Alfred Keogh, the director Of
the army medical service of Great
Britain, is in his sixtieth year, and is
the son of Roscommon barrister-
IT. gained his first experience in
wartime surgery during The South
African conflict, when he was in
charge of general hospital. His
work was so efficient that he was
awarded several medals, and in 1904
became director general on the ser
n vice IT. retired in 1909, but return
III tO the head OF the medical ser
vice when the war broke out. Sir
Alfred has been the recipient of many
honors from the medical and scien-
tifc organizations.
