SWEETEN!NG FOR ACID SOILS
Ground Limestone Is Usually Cheapest
and Most Satisfactory-Screen-
ings Can Be Used.

To sweeten an acid soil, sufficient
amount of finely ground limestone or
slaked lime must be scattered evenly
over the plowed ground and worked
into the top soil. Ground limestone
is usually the cheapest and most salts
factory in general, though it takes eff
feet more slowly than quicklime,
slaked lime or hydrated lime, and a
larger quantity must be applied to get
the same results. The screenings from
an ordinary rock crusher can be used.
Coarser material has little immediate
effect on the SOIL but If much larger
quantity of the coarse material is used
it will keep the soil sweet for longer
time. Screenings can be obtained at
from 20 cents to 81 ton. In some
cases where hauling from the railroad
is expensive and where limestone Is ac-
cessible, small grinders can be used to
grind the limestone on the farm.

"Goog-a-rum, goog-a-rum, goog-a-

Frog. He was usually called Green
Back because he had back very green
in color and he was extremely proud
of it.
Often he would call all the frogs to-
gether as If he had great secret to
tell them, and when they had all be-
come very much excited, he would
whisper In hoarse tones:t
Haven't I a handsome back?"
OF course the frogs would be much
disappointed that Uncle Green Back
had nothing else Of interest to tell
them, for they had heard him admire
his own back almost ever since he be-
came frog.
"How about it?" asked Grandfather
Frog.
TITS fine, thank you. It's looking
particularly beautiful in the sun
shine"
"Oh, dear me; oh, mercy me; oh,
goodness, gracious me, didn't mean
to ask about your back"
"And why not, pray tell?' asked
Green Back in a sad voice. "Tm sure
it is worth asking about"

TO REGULATE THE WINDMILL
Plan Outlined to Aid Farmer in Hav.
Ing Cistern Full of Water When
the Wind Is Blowing.

Regulating the windmill and water
supply on the farm Is an important
matter. The following plan works
well and is worth many times its cost,
as with it one can depend on having a
cistern full of water when the wind
blows.
The cistern may be at any elevation
or distance from the well and any kind
of force pump may be used. 1t Is
made as follows: In the center of the
cistern on an up-turned nipple, COM
mon float valve is used, through which
the water enters the cistern. On the
end of the pipe horizontal check
valve Is used through which the cis-
tern is drained. In the well, next to
the pump, 7 and cut-out valve Ia

BEST OF VEGETABLES
CORN, TOMATOES AND EGGPLANT
ARE FAVORED FOR TABLE.
Successive Paintings Of Sweet Corn
May Be Made-Tomato and Egg
plant Are Started and Handled
in About Same Way.

Three of the most popular vegetables
tomatoes and eggplant.
Sweet corn, to be at its best, should
he eaten within few hours after 1t Is
picked, for its sugar content disap-
pears very rapidly after it is removed
from the garden. For this reason and
because of its very general popularity,
1t Is an excellent vegetable to grow
in the home garden. 1t should be
planted on rich land and cultivated
in the same manner as field corn. Be-
successive paintings may be made
every two or three weeks until late
summer. Another method of pro-
longing the supply is to plant early,
medium and late varieties.
Another favorite vegetable Is the
tomato, which now forms one of the
most important of our garden crops.
In the North, 1t is very desirable to
start the plants in house or a hot
bed, and to transplant them once or
vigorous plants by the time all dan
ger from frost Is past. Pot-grown
plants are especially desirable and
. they may be brought to the blooming
period by the time it Is warm enough
to plant them with safety in the gar
den. If the plants are not to be
trained, but allowed to lie on the
ground, they should be set about four
feet apart each way. If trimmed and
tied to stakes they may be planted in
rows three feet apart and Is inches
apart in the row.
Eggplant Is started and handled in
the same way as the tomato. 1t is,
perhaps, less widely known, but is
rapidly becoming a popular vegetable.
The soil best adapted for it's produc-
ton is fine, rich sandy loan, well
drained. The plants should be set in
rows three feet apart, and two feet
apart In the row. Free cultivation is
desirable and the plants should be

REDUCTION IN LIVING COSTS
Garden Is Quickest and Best Means Of
Lessening Expenses and Relieves
Food Shortage.

The garden is the quickest and best
means of reducing the cost of living,
Present food prices can best be re-
duced by growing a new supply of
food. 1t will take several months to
produce a surplus of many food prod
ucts such as meat, potatoes and flour.
Furthermore, the effect of this surplus
on the price which the consumer has
to pay is doubtful.
By planting q garden the consumer
can relieve the food shortage directly
In a few weeks. He can substitute his
fresh garden vegetables for canned
products and for many of the high
priced staples.

BIG MISTAKE WITH HARNESS
Poor Practice to Hang It Over or Near
Manure-Ammonia Destroys
Life of Leather.

A mistake that is often made is that
of hanging harness over or near ma
nure. The ammonia rising from the
manure sooner or later destroys the
life of the leather. Sometimes, too,
harness not used In the winter is
thrown into a corner, perhaps on the
ground, and left there until spring. No
manufacturer can turn out leather
goods aud stitching that will stand
such neglect. If harness is cleaned
and oile1 at no other time, 1t should
at least be so treated in the fall, then
hung in a dry place when not in use.

IMMENSE DEMAND FOR FOOD
Worlds Needs and Possible Profits
Should Stimulate Farmers to
Their Best Efforts.

There appears to be worldwide
demand for foodstuffs. Prices for all
staple crops are high and promise to
continue above the average level for u
year or more. The promise of profits
from growing farm products was never
stronger than at present.
The worlds needs and the possible
profits, together, should stimulate
farmers to their best effort in produe-
ton. No chances that can be avoided
should be taken on securing good
crops.

With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind Of corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers If you
will apply on the corn few drops of
freezone, says Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get small bot
tie of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger Of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and dries che moment 1t Is applied and
does cCc inflame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think! You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without a bit Of pain or soreness.
If your druggist hasn't freezone he can
