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

Many farms which need lime are To-
Gated so far from 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 limstone which
would make excellent material with
which to sweeten the soil IL 1t 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 $500 and have capacity Of from
one to five tons per hour. A good
sized machine for community work is
one with a capacity of about two tons
per hour which will cost about $3.50.
A 16-horse power steam engine or a
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
the outfit, labor, fuel, oil and repairs.
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 SIPS per ton, max
ing the final cost 81 to. $1.75 per ton.
A fair estimate Of the separate items
under favorable conditions according
to X. A. Kinnaird of the University of
Missouri college of agriculture, would
be as follows: Engineer and 1S-horse
power engine per day, $3.50; fuel,
about one ton coal, SO; labor, three
men at $1.75, s5.25; depreciation and
repairs, So. Cost Of grinding % tons,
$3.50; cost OF grinding per ton, "a
cents; cost of quarrying, 80 cents; to-
tai cost per ton, $1.25.
Whether 1t will pay an individual
or a 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 1t 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 lots for less than $1.2J
per ton. On the average, therefore
there Is not much difference between
the cost Of grinding limestone ut home
and shipping 1t In. The distance OF
the community from erailroadstatIon
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
or more from a railroad station 1t Is
probable that limestone crusher
would be very profitable investment
tor the community. The usefulness

ADOPT THE EGYPTIAN MOTIF
Pairs Designers Working With Idea

Have you yet noticed the Egyptian
motif In clothes?
The Paris dressmakers, some of
them at least, seem to be working
with this idea, and 1t has already
reached this country In some forms,
says writer on fashions. One smart
shop shows bathing suits decorated
with Egyptian motifs in contrasting
colors. They are very effective, too.
And there is every reason to think that
an influx OF Egyptian ideas might be
most welcome In the world of clothes.

house, the bedrooms are actually used
fewer hours than any other rooms.
Consequently, If the bedrooms can be
eliminated, maximum saving of space
is accomplished. How may the living
room and the dining room of our three
room house also be used to serve as
two bedrooms? The problem has
been solved in the disappearing bed.

Thrash Direct From Field.
When 1t Is possible to thrash in a
week or ten days after cutting the
crop should be thrashed directly from
the field as little seed ordinarily will
be lost during this time and the work
Of stacking will be avoided. The seed
may be thrashed either by falling or
by the use Of grain separator or a
clover huller. The yield of sweet clo-
yer seed varies from two to ten BUSH
els Of recleaned seed to the acre.
Sweet clover straw may be utilized for
soil Improvement or as roughage for

There are two methods of designing
a house so that 1t will have sufficient
capacity to meet the needs for which
1t is required. One method is to pro-
portion the size of and number of
rooms to the special requirements of
the case. The other is TO utilize certain
of the space for two or more purposes
and thus obtain the same results with
a lesser actual floor area. Home equip
ment designed for the purpose of saw
ing space has been and is being devel-
Oped with success because of the fact
that its need is urgent, calling forth
the efforts of exceptionally ingenious
men to meet the need.
Suppose, for instance, we consider
how 1t may be possible to realize the
same utility out Of house Of three
rooms which might be expected Of q
house of FIVE rooms. Naturally, this
requires that two of the rooms in our
three-room house be so constructed
and equipped that each will success

the corresponding room which has

Former Russian Empress Valet
Tells Of the Wholesale Murder
of the Once Royal Family.

LONDON, December 5.-A dispatch
to the Exchange Telegraph from Am
sterdam says the Kiev newspapers
publish a story given by the valet OF
the former Empress of Russia OF the
murder of the entire Romanon lam
lily by the bolsheviki. According TO
this story. the once royal family was
compelled to live in a single room
of a convent at Ekaterinburg for
weeks before the murder, under
guard of bolshevik soldiers, who in
suited them shamefully.
The valet said on July II all the
members of the family were taken
to the cellar of the convent and placed
against the wall and shot one after
the other According to the story the
murderers granted the last request
of the former Emperor Nicholas that
his wife, who was i'll, should die In
his arms.
According to the valet the Grand
Duchess of Tatiana was only wound
ed by the shots of the rifemen and
was killed by blows from their rife
butts. All the bodies were burned In
the outskirts of EkaterinburG.
