THE VALUE OF GROUND LINE.
STONE

From March fist to December 3ist
1919, there were shipped TO Bere;
40 carloads of ground limestone
from Mt. Vernon 10 be used by The
farmers Of southern Madison coun-
ty for agricultural purposes. The
results OF this ground limestone Il
10 be seen on every mans farm who
used il.
The use Of ground limestone can
not be over estimated. In every
case the production has been won
derfully increased. The best re-
suits, however, have been gotten by
the use of ground limestone and
acid phosphate.
The following demonstrations will
show without further arguments
that ground limesone, phosphorus
and cultivation mot blowing
means more 10 the farmers than
they can realize without having ex-
perienced the value of the three
factors in crop production men,
toned above.
Crop rotation must not be over-
looked. II is absolutely necessary
20 rotate crops if we expect the
best results, that is, we should not
raise corn too many years on the
same piece Of ground. On most Of
our soil corn should only be grown
one year, and then followed by
some other crop. For example:
corn followed with wheat, wheat
seeded TO red clover, let clover re-
main two years and back TO corn.
This will be a three-year rotation.
Other rotations can be worked out.
To get the best results from the
use Of fertilizer, ground limestone
and cultivation, crop rotation must
be practiced.
This winter while sitting around
the fire is a good time TO make
plans for the coming season. Con-
slider crop rotation. Plan TO get
some lime.

The method Of removing stains IL
as follows: Spread the stained

per apply the proper chemical.
Follow quickly with warm water.
Test by holding the whole finger
in water; Il should not burn.)
Many short applications are surer
and safer than the fong-continued

When the stain disappears, wash

4. Use a dropper.
5. Always use simple reagents

6. Wash thoroughly.
Each stain presents its own pecu-

even with these two conditions I'M

difficulties. For example, coffee

second, so that the chemiral or wa

work II the way is prepared by
moistening the stain. As fast as the
stain loosens and is absorbed by the
cloth and blotting paper. use a new
pad II colors are very delicate.
use cold water instead OF warm. and
use dilute chemicals, even tho II
takes a longer time. Warm often
loosens q dye. A water ring may
be left after a spot has been re-
moved.
To remove water ring, hold the
stain over steam and shake until
thoroughly moist, not wet then
shake dry. Often the whole breadth
OF the material will have TO be
steamed. Steam is easily obtained
by boiling a small amount OF water
in the tea-kettle fitting the top
tightly and tying a piece OF cheese
cloth over the spout. The cheese
cloth prevents the sputterings Of
water from spotting the fabric.

VIRGINIA LOUISE HAS
GREAT ORE RESERVES

The recently discovered ore on the
nth level of the Virginia Louise mine
continues to widen and last week over
twenty feet of shipping ore was passed
through In the main drift.
The future of this mine Is assured by
this hne discovery. as the ore-bearing
territory Is thus heightened. and in
stead of dipping to the water level the
orebeds apparently lie fiatter and thus
have offered a more favorable influence
for the deposition of metal values from
the solutions ascending through the
main fssure channels.
Negotiations are now pending with
both the United States Refining Com
pany and the American Smelling and
Refining Company with a view of en-
abling the Virginia Louise Mining
Company to market an increased tom
mage of fiuxing ore. and In anticipation
of such increase Superintendent Gill
lett Is making the necessary prepara-
tions, both on the surface and under
ground. which will enable him to pro-
duce this extra tonnage. The fact that
these preparations are being made is
evidence that an ample tonnage now
exists in the mine to justify the steady
extraction of ore now and in the fu-
ture.
The Salt Lake smelters at this time.
1t Is pleasing to note, are In the mar
ket for Phoebe iron ores, containing, as
they do. a satisfactory content of gold.
silver and lead largely in excess OF the
precious metal values contained in
ores from other mining districts
which. though they bear a favorable
analysis, are uniformly low in silver
and lead
General mine conditions have un-
dergone a wonderful change in the
last three months and can now be con-
servatively described as excellent. Be-
sides the satisfactory development of
the ore on the fifth level and in the
raise from the fifth to the fourth
level, all the other development head
ings in the mine continue to be sat-
isfactory. The ore as developed on
the second level. which Is passing
through the extension of the pro.
life Davidson bed, Is low grade, but
carrying, as 1t does, such a satisfac.
tory fluxing analysis can be profitably
mixed with the higher grade ores from
the fourth and fifth levels.
Stopping on the ore as developed b,
the fourth level is also producing
large tonnage of shipping flux ore
which, as does the ore from the fiftl
level, carries a high insoluble content
However. the ore bearing territory OF
this level Is also increasing every day
