Most Soils Need Lime.

Farm experience and experimental
evidence show that lime Is needed and
gives good returns on most of our New
England soils and with most crops. In.
deed, the soil conditions In Connecticut
are such that without lime one can hard
ly hope to succeed with the clover crop
any more, according to Henry Dorsey,
agronomist for the Connecticut college
at Storrs. However, farmers should
remember that lime will not take the
place of drainage, the proper seed bed,
good seed, or an abundant supply Of
plant food. Lime is not o plant food.
It is an agent that induces good soil
sanitation, thus promoting bacterial
activity and leading to the best OF COM
binations for plant growth.
Ground limestone IL the safest form
of lime to use, but double the weight is
required to give the same result one
would receive from burned lime. The
amount to apply varies widely, due to
the varying acidity of the fields. A safe
application Is about two tons to the acre,
but good results are often secured from
a single ton. This should be applied
uniformly once each four or five years
before corn or at the time Of seeding
down the land, and should be thoroughly
narrowed into the soil when applied.
The finer the limestone is ground the
quicker 1t will act. If 1t all will pass
through 10-mesh screen about half OF
the material will pass through 80 mesh
screen. While finer product Is desir.
able, the cost of producing it Is so much
greater that it justifies the use of the
ooarser material but in slightly larger
amounts. Ground limestone that will
all pass a go. mesh screen is entirely salts.
factory.
Farmers who expect to use lime should
remember that the lime is going to
cause more bumus to be used up. This
means larger crops, but unless provision
is made for restoring or increasing the
humus of the soil, eventually the soil
will become poorer. Manure and green
crops for blowing down furnish q ready
means for restoring humus which is
active and effective in crop production.
We should lime our soils, but at the
came time we should see that manure or
other organic matter is applied 80 that
the greatest benefit may be realized
from tho lima

Make Collar Fit the Horse.

The collar should be just large enough
to permit mans hand to pass inside
the COLLAR between the lower end of the
collar and the neck or breast OF the
horse. II the collar is too loose 1t will
cause friction, If too tight it will choke
the horse, and cause sore withers. Test
the fitting of the collar by lifting up the
horses head.
The names should fit the collar, II too
long they will probably be buckled too
tight at the top, and in this way the
collar will be made to pinch the horse at
the top. Sores thus produced begin by
a pimple or very small boil, often over
looked because the name covers 1t.
Examine your horse continually, and
if there is any sore spot, adjust the COL
lar so that 1t will not touch that spot.
II the skin is merely wrinkled, bathe 1t
with witch-hazel or diluted vinegar. II
the skin is broken, bsthe it with clean
water containing little salt.
If the collar "rides up" 1t can be kept
down by Q martingsle running to the
girth, or by an extra girth running from
trace to trace, back of the forelegs.
The best collar for mature horse,
whose weight does not vary much
throughout the year, is the leather col
lar. But for most horses, the best collar
is one stuffed with hair, and covered
with ticking. With this COLLAR, II the
horses shoulder becomes sore at any
point, the lining of the collar can easily
be ripped, and the hair removed or
pushed aside at that point, 30 that no
pressure will come on the sore place.
Collar pads are much used, but they
quickly become dirty, cannot easily be
cleaned, and thus cause many sores.
Still a pad that makes the collar fit is
better than an ill-fttipg collar without
a pad.
By all means, clean the inside OF the
collar every night. If you wait until the
next morning, you are likely to forget 1t.
Of course, you will clean the horses
shoulders as soon as the collar is re-
moved. The salt sweat drying on the
skin Is what does the mischief.

MAN KILLED BY CARS IN YARD

appeared to have been hunger"
The accident occurred near the r..
r. crossing while switching a string
of box cars. II could have been sui
eide or perhaps the man thought he
was catching train out of town. He
had been seen by several on Sunday
but no person could identify him as
TO his name or place Of residence. He
never had mark nor letter, not one
thing by which the authorities could
have any hopes of finding his people.
He was a man about 80 or 40 years
old, had light hair, spare build. His
head and body were badly mangled
making it hard to give much descrip-
ton of the dead man. His remains
were buried at Sunnyside cemetery.

HUNTER AND NORRIS ARE
STRONG FOR WAR ROAD

Santa Fe, n. NJ, Jan. 20-Repre-
sentatives c. +. Hunter and II. o. Nor
ris of Quay county spent several hour.
this morning consulting with State
Highway Engineer James A. French
and Deputy Engineer A. j. Charles on
the Camp Funston-Fort Bliss Military
Highway plan.
Mr.. Hunter, who resigned last week
as police judge at Tucumcari. TO serve
as legislator for New Mexico, for
merly was in charge Of new roads in
Texas county, Oklahoma and is a big
booster for good roads. Discussing
road work to the Santa Fe New Mex
ican reporter he said:
There is to be big road meet at
Hutchinson. Kas., on January 20, and
New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and
Kansas will have representatives from
all those counties through which the
Rock Island railway and the f. p. &
5. w. run. We people Of Quay county
are enthusiastic over the proposed
military motor route from Camp Fun
ston ~ Fort Bliss because we believe
that this will be good route for many
people from the east and middle west
to follow on their way to FL Paso when
they desire to go to California by the
southern route, that is through the
southern portion of Arizona. II has
been argued that route, too, would ap-
peal to the U. S. government for its
value as military highway, many
people believing that the federal gov
ernment will desire to keep a camp at
both Funston and Fort Bliss.
From my experience with road
work am firmly of the conviction that
every dollar spent on good roads will
bring back several hundred per cent
profits. There is no better investment,
in my opinion, for county or state,
than to improve its roads, as this is
the age when motors and trucks keep
money in circulation and bring money
to the places which recognize the value
of good highways"
