ORDER LIME IN. ADVANCE.

Farmers probably will not be able to secure lime to meet their agricultural needs if they wait about ordering it until they are ready to apply it. Un- der old conditions, companies supply ing agricultural lime recognized spring and late summer as the two periods of demand. and farmers have ordinar- fly ordered their lime at the time they wished to apply 1t. in order to save time and work by including hauling from the railroad station and applying to the land in one operation. Under States Department of Agriculture, lime manufacturers are no longer able to adjust their business to this prac- tfce. Owing to shortage Of labor in their own plants and transportation difficulties, last minute deliveries can no longer be made with certainty.
 For these reasons the department of agriculture urges that spring needs be anticipated and that orders for lime be placed at once. Dealers and man. ufacturers should have advance in ,forma tion as to farmers needs so that orders can be combined and car space used to the best advantage. De- fay in ordering may result in failure to obtain the lime until too late.
 It is, moreover, the desire of the railroad administration that the sea- son for delivery of lime, which has heretofore been from March to May, be extended to include the period from January to May in order to re- lieve as far as possible the existing car shortage.

EFFECTIVE DEMONSTRATION
 IN SWINE BREEDING

With the aid of the extension ioan fund which has been created by pub lie spirited citizens of North Carolina for financing worthy boys and girls in raising pure bred live stock, yari- ous county agents in that state are starting demonstrations ia swine breeding which promise to be partic- ularly convincing to farmers in the localities concerned because the, dern onstrations are to be carried on large iy by residents of the neighberhoods
 The method being followed Is for the county agent to select promising boy or girl in each of several districts who will agree to raise a SOW for a given period. After a 4-acre plot suit able for the demonstration has been decided on and plans have been com pieted for improving 1t, an approved note is given by the youthful stock raiser to cover the purchase price of a SOW, the cost of fencing, seeding and The pig, and the improvements are then purchased with money advanced from the extension ioaR fund.
 The plan eontemplates raising pigs to the age of s months. Ali animals used in the deniotistfatioHs are to be purebreds. The first North Carolina farmer to whom this propesai was presented instantly agreed to cooper ate and set aside for his child four acres near the highway along which many people pass.
 The tract is to be fenced this win ter according to tAe most approved methods and provided with d mod q self feeder and an automatic waterer registered Pof4nd China so%t will take possession early h tife snrifte and will faYrow a March litter in her flew quarters. It Is confidently expected thai in this demonstration, as in the others being ap sed it various pafts of the state. the selected sniRaaie win pay ali the expenses. inelvSinE fencing and seeding, tiie fYsf Yeay.

RAISING TURKEYS.

It IS q free-for all choice as to what breed Of turkeys. the farmer will raise. Six varieties of domestic tur- keys, including the American Bronze, the White Holland. Bourbon Red, Black, Na-ragansett and Slate varie- ties of domestic turkeys are recog- nized by the American standard of perfection. Because the bronze tur- key is heaviest, it is most popular among turkey raisers, as the fowls are sold by we.ght. Generally speaking, other conditions being equal, the Bronze Is the hardest variety, the Bourbon Red and the White Holland are the most domestic, while the White Holland is the most prolific /
 Turkeys generally are raiseu in small focks on general farms. Few extensive commercial projects devot- cd exclusively to turkey raising are operated. Usually from 10 to t5 tur- key hens and one vigorous tom con- stitgte 9 flock the. fowls being allow cd free range during the breeding and laying season. The turkey flock re- quires particular care during the iay- trg and matching season and during the early life of the, young poults, or until these youngsters are able to range at large with their mother.
 The incubation period of turkey
 
 Der of pouIts raised under ordinary conditions being about 50 per cent of those matched out, > or about seven peults for every turkey hen. The sreateSt loss occurs when the poults are quite young. the high mortality resulting largely from exposure to damphess and cold, improper feeding, close confinement, lice, and preda- tory animals, and to inherent weak ness the result of carelessress in se- lection of parent stock AS. soon as the pouits are old enough, the mother hen and her brood should be placed on the range in ap individual coop where the heE may be confined and the pouits allowed to pick about oi, grass, clover, alfalfa. and other green feed at %lL so that the Younssters will become accustomed to this feed.
 Yetng pcuits usually remain with the mother hen until about October oR November, when the males ofdi- narily separate from the females and range by themselves. Improper feed ing ccnnbined with close confinement has been the cause Of many failures in turkey raising. When on free range tfe p4ults are busy searching foT feed most Of the day, and hence there occurs no overlooking Or lack ef exercise. Even if the range is good and the supply of insects abundant, t IS usually advisable to have the deek come home at nieht--the daily feeding 6t { little grain inducing the return q the birds to the home roost sin order to accustosn the fowls to a common sleeping place
 At the age of about six weeks the tyFkeys are old enough to SO to roost. Most turkey F4isers allow the birds to Foest in open trees or on fences, or On other roosts especially pFevjdr ed. One of the greatest d.flcqlties is to keept fecks from wandering over toe wtes an area and invading neigh boring farms To some extent feed- ing heavily light and Fnorhing reduces the area over which turkeys range. but even then they often go too far. An effective plan is to drive them into an enclosure, and keep them there eztii about neon.

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

much valce to persons who are inter- ested in home suppiy of fruit.
 Except In the larger cities. most persons who own their homes are in position to produce sufficient variety and quantity of fruit to provide most of the home needs.
 The following arguments in favor of home grown fruits are endorsed from Washington:
 Because it reaches the family fresh and in the best possible condition.
 Because the family has fruit of which 1t would often be deprived If 1t had to be purchased. E, Because, if the proper varieties be selected, a continuous supply of fruit of superior quality may be secured. rkgardiAss Of market prices. 2 Because any surplus may be sold without di16c1iity or may be canned. evaporated or otherwise eonsNyed for use when fresh fruit is not available.
 Because the care Of the home fruit garden provides for spare time con- genial and profitable occupation which Is in reality recreation for those who enjoy seeing things grow.

MHAr is A scRiia slREa

For it's area, Connecticut has as many pure bred dairy herds as any state in the Union. There are also q considerable. number of high class sires of different breeds and several herds with 4 national renrtatiops ac- cor6ing to Prof. G. C. White Of the dairy department at. Connecticut As- rieulturai College, Stofys. Tn spite of these facts. however. there Is an ap- scrub males used for breeding rur- poses.
 Tn 1918, an asricuiturai survey was taken through the farm bureaus 1of Holland Hartford; New Haven. Fair field ana Liteh6eid counties. Tn the four first named counties. among oth- CT things, the number Of pure bred and grade sires of the dairy breeds were listed.
 as whole. to have Ss2s CT 46 per cent pure bred bulls. It shows that 675, or SI per cstt.; were Of grade breeding and 6f2. Or % per cent. were un- classified It is perfectly safe to call tho unclasSffied lot naonxreis Or graAes which would leave tie pure bred sires 40. per cent. against 50 per cent. whose pedigree or. blood line is an unknown quantity.
 Nf.faBleS- the SlLQdt1O11+ III sAOff4lSCl1C9J is by no means worse, than in other parts of the country the great need Of an extended use Of a better class or sires is apparent, aud while 70 per cent Of the number are Of pure breed ing it must De said that there is q considerable proportion Of these that are not worthy of the position that they fill Therefore in herd improve : nent, it is absolutely necessary that we recognize that there. is. a great diff ference ill the transmitting ability, even Of purebreds.
 Bulls Of mixed breeding are recog- nized by every one as scrubs. While grades may be, and often are, satis- factory performers, they cannot be depended upon so well as breeders. A good ratio of successful psrforners can be had by breeding grade cows to purebred bulls, but in using the grade bull, even though he. be fairly good as an individual, the reward is mediocre offspring, as an average Hence, as a breeding proposition. the grade sire is scrub" breeder. Like wise, the puTchred sire whose ahces- tors are at the foot of the line in pro- ductivity, cannot transmit the super for qualities of his breed. Measured by results he is a scrub" pure bred.
 But when one ties up his livestock operations with the. p1febred, espec- ially the carefully selected. sire, he is playing the game with the odds great ly in his favor

Doubtless if you are 8 sufferer from Indigestion you have already tried pep. sin, bismuth, soda, charcoal. drugs and various digestive aids, and you know these things will not cure your trouble
 -in sorae cases do not even give relief.
 But before giving up hope and decid- ing you are .. chroiie dyspeptic, just try the effect of 2 little bisurated mag nesia-net the ordinary cornnnerefal carbonate. citrate. oxide or milk. but
 the pure bisurated magnesia,. which you can obtain from practically any druggist in either powdered or tablet form.
 Take teaspconfui of the powder or two compressed tablets with a little water after your next meal and see what 8 difference this makes. It will instantly neutralize the dangerous. harmful acid in the stomach which now causes your food toa ferraent and sour, making gas, wind. hatpience. heartburn and the bloated or heavy, lumpy feeling that seems to follow most everything you eat.
 You will find that provided you take a little bisurated magnesiA irnnaedia te- Ny after a meal. you can eat almost anything and enjoy 1t without any danger of pain or discomfort to follow, and moreover. the continued use Of the hisa-ated magnesia cannot inJure the stomach in any way so long as there are any symptoms of acid indlgestion.
