LIME REQUIREMENTS OF SOIL
AS General Rule Application of Small
Quantity Will Be Beneficial
Ashes Help Some.

There is no certain means by which
the average gardener can determine
the lime requirements of his soil AS
general rule, however, the appica-
ton of small quantity of lime will be
beneficial. This should be at the rate
of from one-half bushel to one bushel
of air-slaked lime to a square rod of
ground. The lime should be applied
after the land has beeen plowed or
spaded and while it is being raked
and fitted for planting,
1t should always be borne in mind
that no lime should be put on the land
that is to be planted to Irish potatoes
nor should the lime be applied at the
same time as commercial fertilizers or
poultry manure, as it has the faculty
of liberating the nitrogen contained
in the fertilizer and causing it to be
lost in the air.
Unleached wood ashes contain some
lime and considerable potash, but
should not be applied at the same time
as the lime. Coal ashes are beneficial
as a means of tightening heavy soils.
However, they have very little fertil-
izer value. the United States depart
ment of agriculture says.

- EORGETTE holds its own as the
NJ speculative in elegant fabrics for
afternoon gowns, and will until some
genius comes along who is able to eX-
eel it. 1t seems improbable that any
thing more beautiful can be made and
the refinement of geTgette has made
it so great a favOrite with designers
that they use it for many things and
for all ages. But where the advan-
tages show at their best is in those
lovely gowns for afternoon-beautiful
and restrained in style-in which wom-
en- put their very best efforts at gown
ing and which are the delight of cos
tuners.
One of the two gowns shown in the
group above, reveals what has been
done with georgette in an afternoon
frOck for this summer. Imagine this
in pale tan or in Irvine color with
white beads used in its embeilishment,
and little medallions Of filet lace set in
and edged with embroidery silk, like
the gown in color. The skirt has n

the bride who has decided to draw
upon 1920 to supply the style her
maids shall wear, is pictured here.
Tucks and frillS, all at their pretty
best in net, are used for trimming.
An underskirt of net has two groups
Of narrow tuckS about the bottom and
over it a long and full tunic, wired
about the hips. A frill over the wired
line prOclams its allegiance to the
old hoop skirt effect, which is the in
spiratiOn of this frOck Below the
frill two groups of narrow tuckS give
an embroidered band of net the proper
setting. The short sleeves are very
frilly, with three narrow tlounces as
a finish, headed with group of tucks.
The bodice is slightly low, giving a
line across the bust and shoulders that
is in keeping with the hoped skirt.
A frill at the neck opening has tucks
and embroidered band below and at
each side plain net gathered in and
extending to the waist, gives an added
fullness. The sash of narrow satin
ribbon with hanging loops and long
ends set on at each side is a charming
accessory, the loops falling from clus-
tiers of little chiffon roses.

wv HEN the talk is of bridesmaids
w frocks there is no telling the
wide ranges it will travel, for here is
where the bride may give range to her
fancy especially if she is to have a
bevy of maids. She may choose to
lead them back a few centuries in
choosing styles or she is more than
likely to pick out some period not SO
remote and revive its charm of quaint
dress or she may decide to be very
modern and frankly frivolous. But if
she hopes to please everybody let her
decide that her maids shall look de-
mure and beautiful. They can do this
in clothes with either an ancient or
a modern flavor.
Tatfeta, geOrgette and fine net, all
make lovely frOckS for bridesmaids
and each of them amounts to an in
Surance of success; vet they are as
different as can be. All are beautiful
in light cOlOrS, and net in white. used
to veil color, makes practical frock
that will give a great deal of service
after it has played its part at we'd

ADVISABLE TO PRUNE
AND STAKE TOMATOES
Question Is Asked Every Year BY
Many Gardeners.
Advantages Are That Larger Number
of Plants Can Be Set on Given
Area-Quaity of Fruit Is
Usually Much Better.

Does it pay to prune tomato vines
to a single stem and tie them to
stakes or to a trellis? This question
is asked every year by thousands of
home gardeners. 1t does pay, accord
ing to United States department of
agriculture specialists, especially if
the. space for garden purposes is
limited, and it is desired to make the
best use of it. Tomato plants, if left
to themselves, have habit of spread
ing all over the garden and of produc-
ing their fruit right on the ground,
where 1t becomes covered with dirt
every time there is rain.
Advantages of pruning and stalking
tomatoes are that larger number
of plants can be set on a given area
than by the ordinary method; the fruit
will ripen a little earlier on the plants
that are pruned and staked; and the
fruit is held off the ground, is clean,
and easy to gather.
While the individual plants do not
produce so large a quantity of fruit
as when they are allowed to spread
upon the ground, at least three times
as many plants can be set on a given
area, thereby actually increasing the
quantity of tomatoes produced. The
quality Of the fruit is usually better
on the plants that are pruned and
tied to stakes.
Small round poles about four feet
in length, sharpened at one end, make
the most desirable tomato stakes for
the home garden. The best proof that
stalking tomatoes pays is found in the
fact that the best home gardeners fol-
low the practice.

THINGS TO KNOW
ABOUT YOUR CAR
Watch Your Generator and Stor-
age Battery Carefully Dur
ing Season Changes.
PROPER RATE FOR CHARGING
Great Care Must Be Exercised in Put
ting Right Amount of Current
Through Battery to Restore En-
ergy Contained in Cells.

Due to the change of seasons from
the cold weather conditions to warm
er it is well to see that the generator
that may have been boosted to take
care of the Cranking conditions should
be changed to take care of the crank
ing conditions brought about by warm
weather. 1t Is not necessary to have
as much current flowing into a storage
battery during the warmer weather
as it is during the cold, because of
the fact that the oil is not as heavy
and the engine is not so hard to crank,
says a writer in an exchange. The
gasoline is easier vapOrized and the
ignition has more voltage, due to the
fact that the battery can exert It's
full energy.
Change in Charging Rate.
The reason that we advise d change
in charging rates at this season of
the year is because of the fact that
a great many batteries that have been
used abnormally at this season of the
year and during the cold weather have
been worked to their limit; in other
words they have been almost entirely
exhausted and to start recharging
these batteries, even while on the car,
at high rate will cause a rapid
deterioration of the plates and also is
liable to cause q great deal of trouble
from armatures becoming Overheated
and burning up, also the regulator or
cutOut on the machine becoming over
heated and causing it to burn out. The
charging rate considered which is
proper for generators of certain types
is between 10 and 10 amperes and it
is not advisable to carry the charging
rate higher than this because of the
reflex action that this has on the gen
orator and battery and regulating
apparatus. 1t is always good to take
into consideration that the lower
charging rate is the better for q bat
terry that has been worked hard than
to start a rapid charging rate.
Bring Back Gradually.
There is very similar condition
existing between the charging of a
storage battery and the case of a sick
man. When the patient is on the road
to recovery, the physician always: ad
vises that theTfpod be carefully Sc
lected and, thaypatient gradually be
brought back to his full strength. The
same applies to a storage battery.
Great care must be taken with the
proper amount. of current put through
the battery to restore the energy con-
tanned in the cells. 1t is also adviS
able at this time of the year before
going into summer driving to have the
voltage and : gravity tests taken
periodically so that the battery's re-
cuperation will be brought back to a
normal state without causing undue
danger.

Rabbits have always been an impOr-

in the United States until recently
few of them were eaten except during
the winter hunting season. COndi-
tons resulting from the great war
have awakened many Americans to the
economic value of rabbits and more
and more people each year are raising
sufficient in their back yards to supply
the family table. The flesh of the
young domesticated rabbits is vastly
superior in fiber and flavor to that Of
the wild rabbits. 1t closely resembles
the white meat of chicken.

GOOD FARMSTEAD PAINTINGS
Trees Are Used for Windbreaks and
Shade, While Shrubs Are Needed to
Cover UnsightIy Spots.

Suitable paintings are necessary to
unite the parts of a farmstead into
pleasing, homelike whole, says the
United States department of agricul-
ture. Trees are used for windbreaks,
as frames for the buildings or back
ground for them, and to give shade.
Shrubs are needed in abundance to
hide partially the foundation lines of
buildings, support, their corners, give
reasons for turns in drives or walks,
and to screen unsightly objects. Ma
tive trees and shrubs and those known
by trial to thrive. in the locality are
the best to use.

nm hour of time a day, and some hay,
roadside weeds, and refuse from orch
ards, garden, and kitchen, supplement-
ed by small quantity of grain, cover
the cost of production. Raising rab-
bit meat for home consumption is a
proposition for turning to account
time, space, and materials which are
ordinarily wasted.
Cost of Rabbit Raising.
The cost of starting a rabbitry de-
Ponds on its size and on the price of
material. One can buy two good does
and a buck Of breeding age2enOugh
to supply an average family with all
the rabbit meat it would care to use
for anywhere from $3.50 to $40 each,
or for a total of from $3.50 to $50.
HutcheS may vary in cost from a
few cents each, the price of an empty
tlry-gOods box, to several dollars, if
expended for dressed lumber to be put
together by a carpenter. On a farm
where odds and ends of lumber and
poultry netting usually are available,
and where hay, grain, and milk are
produced in abundance, the money
cost of starting and carrying on a
small rabbitry is negligible. In any
case the initial cost need not be great.
The daily cost when all feed is pur-
chased is not usually above l cent for
10 or II pound rabbit, recent bull

the bureau of biological survey of the

ture, states.
Selecting a breed is a matter of
taste, although it may be influenced
more or less by the market that is to
be supplied. For example, the family
table would demand smaller animals
than would the trade of a restaurant

one breed and to concentrate on devel.
