NEXT SEASONS SUCCESS.
A Top Dressing of Lime to the Wheat
Field During Winter Will Assure
the Chances of Glover to Be
Sown in Spring.

What will assure the chances of clio
yer to be sown in the wheat field in
spring? Glover is so difficult to secure
that the full benefit of every factor
contributing to favor it's growth must
be taken advantage of. That some
form of lime is needed is a matter of
course. The question is whether mere
sweetening of the soil is sufficient. If
so an application shortly previous to
seeding in the customary manner will
do. But sweetening is only half the
benefit of lining. Given time for ac-
ton it liberates potash from insoluble
combinations in the soil. While nj
trates stimulate the growth of true
grasses, potash is the essential ele-
ment of success for %clovers. To re-
auce the amount or escape the cost of
this expensive fertilizer a vigorously
acting form of lime, given time to work,
will cut the bill. This means winter
lining of the wheat field. Is there any
danger in this? To this Professor A..
E. Grantham says, "There is no dam
ger in top dressing the wheat during
the winter with freshly slaked lime
providing the ground is frozen or when
plants are dry" The ~agrOnomist of
Delaware is strongly supported by the
Ohio practice. Mr.. Clarence Nj. Baker,
a competent observer writes: "Even
where wheat has been sown and fer
tilted heavily winter lining is being
practiced. After the wheat is up and
when the ground is not soft lime a
be applied and allowed to work in
with alternate freezings and thawings.
Such a practice is being followed in
MANY sections of Ohio.%

OYSTER SHELLS NEEDED
BY TIE LAYING HEN
Lime From Body Skeleton if They
Are Not Constantly in Front of
Them in a Clean Receptacle.

That oyster shell is needed by hens,
especially by laying hens, and that il
should be kept constantly before the
flock is clearly shown in the following
excerpt from circular 81 of the West
Virginia experiment station. entitled
Feeding for Egg Production" by Pro-
fessor Horace Atwood:
"A relatively large amount of lin
is required in the formation of egg
shells. Wheeler found that crushed
oyster shell when fed to laying hens
was the principal ource of the lime
present in the shells, and he advised
feeding oyster shell, especially during
the laying season. That his conclu-
siOns were correct is indicated by the
almost universal use of oyster shell
for this purpose. One pound of oyster
shell will furnish lime for about seven
dozen eggs.
"In a recent investigation Halpin
finds that. contrary to popular belief.
a lack of calcium or lime in the feed
has not caused the production of soft
shelled eggs, the hen apparently draw
ing on her skeleton for the needed cal
eium. Soft shelled eggs, therefore,
appear to be due to some pathological
condition rather than to a lack of cal
cium in the feed. A scant supply of
calcium seems to decrease egg produc-
ton. This result is important from the
practical standpoint, since many poul-
try raisers, believing that soft shelled
eggs indicate a lack of calcium, do not
feed oyster shells unless their hens
lay soft shelled eggs. 1t is thus pos
sible that a lack of egg production dur
ing late winter months may be due to
a lack of sufficient calcium.
"Since oyster shell is relatively. cheap
and since fowls need lime from this or
a similar source, at least when they
are laying, it is a good practice to keep
a supply constantly available"

for home consumption, and of these
two Russia can hardly be expected to
contribute much. The eyes of the
world are focused upon the American
farmer, just as the Hon. David A.
Houston, secretary of agriculture, so
forcibly stated when he said recently !:
'"There must be no breakdown on the
farm-no failure of foods, foodstuffs
and clothing. The duty is pressing of
furnishing abundant supplies for u
own people and in large measure for
the peoples with whom we are associ-
ating."
The Farm Labor Problem Severe.
There has always existed a farm
problem-that of evenly distributing
labor throughout the year, both of
man and team-which today is greatly
enhanced by the severe and universal
shortage of labor. 1t is not customary
for the farmer to work as hard in win
ter as in summer, nor is it possible,
because the days are shorter, and
again it is not altogether natural-it
to have-yet in the present emergency
all are required to exert their greatest
efforts to avoid defeat and suffering.
Lining soils is essential to crop pro-
duction, and fortunately it may be
done in winter, though it is not a Gus
tomary practice nor always advisable.
Yet under the circumstances it is one

Sour Soils Should Be Lined for Good
ResuIts-Good TiIth Is invaluable.
Last year the produce from small
gardens, including the backyard gar
the school garden and the mu-
nicipal and Industrial gardens, amount
ed to 3d. 0 600. There were in the
neighborhood of 100000 gardens, an
increase of 200 to 800 per cent more
gardens than ever produced food in
the United States in n season., &C
cording to the annual report of the
secretary of agriculture.
1t has been estimated by the de-
partment of agriculture that there will
be a similar increase in 1918 approx
mating 100000 gardens. Those who
have not had experience in gardens
should make a study of the soil re-
quirements of the crops they intend
to grow. Most soils are acid and need
lime to correct acidity. In like man
ner most garden crops thrive best in
neutral or sweet soils, as the following
list prepared by DR.. Charles e. Thorne,
director of the Ohio experiment sta
ton and one of our foremost Ameri-
can authorities on questions relating
TO soil fertility and crop production,
shows: Plants preferring acid or

DIR. II. j. Patterson, director OF the

BEEF HIGHER. HOGS LOWER.
Mich Cows Rather Quiet, Though High
Price of Beef Stock Holds Prices Up.

Brighton, Mass, Aug. 2l. Beef stock
was irmer and little higher at the
Brighton stock yards yesterday morn
ing, following advances in Buffalo and
the West. BY the same measurement,
hog prices also should have been ad
vaneed further, as western markets were
Is cents per 100 pounds higher Monday,
The local market, however, took a down
ward slant yesterday Both live and
dressed hogs are a half cent lower now
than a week ago Other live stock values
are not much changed.
Droyer Neal brought another hand
some pair Of steers to market yesterday
from New Hampshire. They were Dew
ons and sold at 10 cents. Few cattle
among the days arrivals were good
enough to bring these fancy prices, av.
erage tops selling at around Is cents,
good cattle at l0@l2c, and light cattle
at s@l0c.
Fancy beef cows are scarce and very
firm. Offerings Of tops yesterday were
mainly such as would sell around 100
lie. Fancy beef COW heifers would bring
l3@l4c and even up to l5c, when avail
able. All COW beef stock is firmer, owing
to a better demand for light beef in the
retail trade. Retail prices for fancy beef
have reached such extreme figures that
buyers have been forced to turn their
attention to light and COW beef. Even
Gamer cows have been advanced to 5b
@6c. Ordinary cows are 6@7c and good
cows S@0c.
Fancy bulls sold yesterday at around
l0@l2c, with short supply. Average
bulls brought s@9c and bologna bulls
6@7c. Very little change is noted in the
price Of calves The market Is firm, with
moderate supply. Small lots of fancy
calves brought up TO lie, bunch lots l6@
1890, fair lots l4@l5c, and grassers or
drinkers l0@l2c
Only few sheep or lambs were noted
among the arrivals yesterday. Prices
were steady at l5@l7c for lambs and
9@l0c for sheep.
Live hogs were selling at the yards at
1890 for best lots, the range for tops
being l9h@20c Rough lots sold at IS
@l9c.
Dressed hogs, after having been at
record figures for several weeks, now are
quoted by packers at 24h@25c, against
25M251ac last week.
Mich cows are rather quiet, though
the high price Of beef stock helps to hold
up the prices of ordinary mixers The
range for these is S60@$75, and from

Montpelier, Aug 81 Reports that
the Canadian government is placing no

ing the border. may purchase in large
amounts, are emphatically denied by the
United States food administration
The Canada food board recently is

tion Of Canadian sugar consumption to
one and one-half pounds per person per
month--half a pound below the "honor
ration" requested in this country by the
United States food administration All
regulations governing the use or holding
Of sugar will be rigidly enforced, the
Canada food board has declared. It Is
taking strict measures TO prevent hoard
ing in most cases imposing a jail SEN
tence, as well al a heavy fine Manufac-
lures are strictly curtailed in their use
of sugar, and householders are prohib-
tied from purchasing in quantities which
would warrant consumption of more
than the requested allowance
Citizens Of this country would be run
ming a serious risk if they attempted
to purchase sugar in Canada Although
restrictions there are placed upon the
purchaser, rather than upon the retail
dealer, severe penalties are provided for
attempted expectation to the United
States without an individual export IL
cense from the Canadian war trade
board, which will grant export licenses
only in cases which meet with the ap.
proyal Of this government. Supplement
airy action along this line has been tax

sons attempting to bring sugar from
Canada to this country would be faced
with the possibility Of heavy fines and
jail sentences, should they be apprehend-
ed by the customs authorities of either
country.
In addition to restrictions upon the
manufacturers and limitations upon
household use, the Canadian food au-
thorities have ruled that no person shall
