SOIL SWEETENING
Farming Methods Endangered by
Confusion of instructions.
MEN OF EXPERIENCE MlSLED.

Attention of Teachers Is Focused on
Unproeressive 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 evasive.
The teachers having their troubles
with unprogressive farmers focus their
attention upon them. Thus they are
liable to make wholesale recommends
tons 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-
lions 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 i'll many
places. These should be developed and
local grinding encouraged if the opera
ton 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
grinders when new reduce the mate
rial so that about one-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 an win pass a sixty mesh

shipped, hauled and spread, that
sweeteus 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
is needed to do the work of burned
lime, and this means twice the freight
rate when the former material is used
Ground limestone and shell produced
in a farming section at a distance from
railroads may stand this test of cheap
ness. But many farmers near lines of
transportation are being misled in this
connection by the recommendations in
agricultural bulletins. The authorities
had no intention in writing them of
changing good lining practices already
existing.

DOUBLE PLATOON SYSTEM
Fire Marshal O'ConnOr is kicking

so much grating they would not
have any trouble in paying enough
fremen to do the work necessary.
In regard to the 12-hOUr measure
that came up a few years ago, it was
said that the firemen did not want it.
They did want it, but some crooked
politicians got some of the firemen
to go about shouting, 1--WE don't

DISPUTES REV. STELZLE. II
have been reading Rev. Chas. Stel-
zIe's articles about how he thinks Je-
sus would act as an American citizen.
He falls into the common error Of I
clericals of clothing Jesus with divine
power, something the American citi-
zen has to get along without, as far
as my experience goes.
He says: 1T will farely hardly with
those who are guilty-whether they
occupy high or low places in soci-
ety."
Now what American citizen would
get anywhere trying to mete out JUS
tiCe to our millionaire crooks?
Jesus would no doubt protest
against all the evils of the present
day, but chances are he would get
locked up if he said to much, or per-
haps get crUcifed by the ignorant
rabble. melted by an uneasy master
class.
Stelzle has not succeeded in bring
ing Jesus close enough to us for the
average man to associate with. The
humble carpenter-fsheTman appears
more like a powerful judge than
common citizen under his treatment

TRAIN YOUR HAIR AS AN
ACTRESS DOES

No class of people devotes as much
time to beauty as do actresses, and no
class must be more careful to retain
and develop their charms. Inquiry de-
yelops the information that in hair
care they find it dangerous to sham
poo with any makeshift hair cleanser.
The majority say that to have the best
hair wash and scalp stimulator at
cost of about three cents. one need
only get a package of canthrox from
your druggist: dissolve a teaspoonful
in a cup of hot water and your sham
poo is ready. This makes enough
shampoo liquid to apply it to all the
hair instead of just the top of the
head. After its use the hair dries rap
idly, with uniform color. Dandruff,
excess oil and dirt are quickly dis
solved and entirely disappear when
you rinse the hair. After this your
hair will be so fluffy that it will look
must heavier than it is Its luster and
softness will also delight you, while
the stimulated scalp gains the health
