grinders when new reduce the mate
rial so that about 0ne-half of it will
pass a sieve with sixty meshes to the
inch. The Pennsylvania Agricultural
college recommends that ground lime
stone be reduced to a degree of fine
ness so that all will pass a sixty mesh
screen, or twice as fine as many of the
products of local grinding plants Then
as coarse ground limestone contains
only one-half it's weight of oxide. or
true lime, you only have one-half of
one-half or onequarter of the stuff,
shipped, hauled and spread, that
sweetens soil. In a rough estimate
the cheapest true lime or lime oxide
on the field gives the largest profit
Don't be misled into believing that the
lowest cost lime product is always the
cheapest in the end from the stand
point of genuine service. A good way
to figure out which is the most econom-
ical form of lime to use is to multiply
the cost of a coarse ground limestone
or oyster shell offered at a low price
by four, when comparing it with the
cost of burned lime, after you have
added freight, hauling and handling to
both. In doing this remember that our
agricultural experts generally advise
about twice as much ground limestone

SOIL SWEETEN|NG
Farming Methods Endangered by
Confusion of Instructions.
MEN OF EXPERIENCE MISLED.

Attention of Teachers Is Focused on
Unprogressive Element, and Bulletins
Are Addressed Mainly to Them, Thus
Confusing Those Who Have LINED
Their Lands In Right Manner.
The wide spread Of sour land and the
resulting limitation of crops has alarm
ed agricultural teachers to push the
conservative and meet objections that
are in part local and often eyasiye.
The teachers having their troubles
with unprogressive farmers focus their
attention upon them. Thus they are
liable to make wholesale recommends
lions in the agricultural bulletins as if
such men comprise the sole public.
Unfortunately through this many who
have always lined their lands right
are made doubtful by such generaliza-
tons and the tone of authority in new
recommendations. PulveriZed lime
stone and oyster shell are useful forms
of soil sweeteners when ground fine
enough. Outcrops of the stone and
abandoned shell heaps occur in many
places. These should be developed and
local grinding encouraged if the opera
tion is practical and economical. For
lime is not merely useful; it is essen
tial to all land
But so anxious are the teachers to
start this utilization that nearly all
bulletins convey the impression that
these carbonate forms of lime are
cheap. This is not often the case
where freight rates are reasonable and
immediate results from lining are de
sired Consider that ordinary stone

POTATO SOIL.

Importance of Seed Steriiizing and Pro-

In the preparation of the soil for pc

that healthy potato in healthy soil

sweet. But great caution should be
used in lining potato ground i'll view
of the fact that scab infected seed de-

Sweet Corn.

Sweet corn should always be found

since it loses quality very rapidly after
being picked. Its sugar changes into
starch. so that to have it at its best ii
should be on the fire within fifteen
minutes after being pulled from the
stalk. Corn does best in a fertile soil
but is able to adapt itself to all tex
lures from sand to clay. To grow it

family requires more space, however.

Peculiar Stimulation

Beer for calving is comprehensive, if

For this reason it is bad practice to
put plants Of low habit between tall
growing plants which will shade them
for the greater part Of the day. AS a
rule, foliage crops such as lettuce,
spinach and kale do fairly well in par
tial shade but even these must have
snnshine two or three hours day. In
laying out the garden, therefore, use
shadier parts for such plants and re-
serve the sunny spaces for those which
must have plenty of sunlight to grow
