COST OF LIMESTONE
REDUCED TO FARMER
Small Portable Grinders Make 1t
Possible to Do Work Profit
ably on Some Farms.

Many farms which need lime are To-
Gated so far from a commercial sup
ply Of ground limestone that the cost
of limestone, after freight and haul
ing charges have been paid, is pro-
hibitive. In many communities are
found Lodges Of good hmstone which
would make excellent material with
which to sweeten the soil If it were
only ground so that the farmers could
use it, The small portable limestone
grinders now on the market make it
possible for the farmers in such COM
munities to grind their own limestone.
These grinders can be bought for $500
to $1,000 and have a capacity Of from
one to five tons per hour. A good
sized machine for community work is
one with capacity of about two tons
per hour which will cost about $3.50.
A 16-horse power steam engine or
20-horse power gasoline engine will
furnish sufficient power to do the
grinding. An estimate of the cost of
grinding limestone on the farm will in
clude the interest and depreciation on
lhC Oublll, ldDoit lQCiy Oll anu lCpdii Dc
To this must be added the cost of
quarrying the stone to obtain the COM
plete cost per ton Of ground limestone.
Quarrying Is estimated to cost from
% to 80 cents per ton, and grinding
from rs cents to $1.25 per ton, max
ing the final cost 81 to $175 per ton.
A fair estimate of the separate items
under favorable conditions according
to r. A. Kinnaird Of the University Of
Missouri college of agriculture, would
be as follows: Engineer and 18-horse
power engine per day, $3.50; fuel,
about one ton coal, So; labor, three
men at $1.T5, 1925; depreciation and
repairs, So. Cost of grinding 25 tons,
$1S75; cost of grinding per ton, rs
cents; cost of quarrying, so cents; to-
tai cost per ton, $1.25.
Whether it will pay an individual
or group of farmers to invest in a
limestone grinder will depend upon |
the need of the soils in the community |
for lime and the probable demand for |
ground limestone, the quality and ac-
feasibility of the limstone, the cost at |
which limestone can be shipped In and |
the distance IT. must be hauled from
the station. Ground limestone, fine
enough to be satisfactory to use for
sweetening the soil, can rarely be de-
livered in car I>ts for less than $1.25
per ton. On the average, therefore,
there is not much difference between
he cost of grinding limestone at home
and shipping it in. The distance of
he community from therailroad station
IS probably the most important factor
to be considered where ground lime
stone is needed and where good lime
stone can be obtained locally. In many
such communities located five miles
,r more from railroad station it is
that a limestone crusher
would be a very profitable investment
or the community. The usefulness

SCATTERING causes the loss of one
fifth to three-fourths of the total seed
yield of sweet clover. This great loss
can be prevented since cutting at the
wrong time and improper handling of
the crop at the time of harvest are
largely responsible. How to deter
mine the right time to cut the seed
crop and how to harvest it with the
least possible loss of seed by slight
adjustments of harvesting machinery

of a rock crusher is not confined to
grinding limestone for the soil as most
of them are constructed to crush
coarse material for making concrete
and building roads which they can do
at much less cost per ton than grind
A portable crusher can be taken
from farm to farm to do crushing on
those farms where limestone can be
quarried. This makes it possible for
a man owning an outfit to do custom
work, charging by the ton, which is
generally the most satisfactory way
for the work to be done.

DAIRY
FACTS
PRINCIPAL CAUSE OF SCOURS
Feeding From Dirty Pals or Giving
Rations Unhardened Stomachs
Cannot Properly Digest.

Those who raise young calves by
hand know that scours is one of the
greatest, If not the greatest, source
of loss. DR.. G. G. Lipp, veterinarian
at the South Dakota college, says
feeding from dirty pals, or feeding
rations the unhardened stomachs Of
the young calves cannot digest, are
trouble may arise.
The milk pals cannot be kept too
clean. Scrupulous care must be OBJ
served if the feed pals are not to be
the source of scours. Washing after
each feeding with cold water is not
enough; thorough scalding at least
once a day is essential and exposure
to bright sunlight on every clear day
will not come amiss. Bacteria are
little things, but the way they live
and multiply is remarkable, and the
damage they can do when they get
started assumes mighty proportions.
When the feed is hard to digest and
the first evidence of stomach disorders
appear, dose of physic Is the best
cure. A few tablespoonfuls of castor
oil or an equal amount Of salts will
remove the offending food and restore
the system to working order again.
A 40 per cent solution of formalde-
hyde has also been found to be an
effective preventive of scours. One
tablespoonful of formalin is diluted in
one pint of water. A spoonful or two
of the solution may then be added to
the calf's milk as many times a day
and as long as conditions demand.
