GARDENS NEED LIME

There is no certain means by which
the average gardener can determine
the lime requirements of her soil. AS
general rule, however, the applica-
ton of a small quantity of lime will
be beneficial This should be at the
rate of from one-half bushel to one
bushe of air slaked lime to "A square
rod OF ground. The lime should be
applied after the land has been 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 APP
piled at the same time as commercial
fertilizers or poultry manure. as it has
the faculty of lberating the nitrogen
contained in the fertilizer and causing
1t 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 bene
fetal &C means OF tightening heavy
soils However, they have very little
fertilizer value. the United States De-
partment of Agriculture says:

FAITHFUL EMPLOYE
RAISES HIS OWN PAY

Three years ago wide-a awake
youngish man got job in a concern
of moderate size. This business was
not located in a city, but in a small
country place. The new man was N
gagged at a little over $4,000 a year
To handle the company's advertising
lie quickly discovered that, in order
to make the advertising really efec-
tive, the goods produced must be i'm
proved in certain respects. Also, he
realized that the best results could not
be attained unless the spirit existing
between the employees and the owners
was changed says Forbes.
He applied his mind to the whole,
many sided problem. and without Gre
ating friction started in to remedy
matters. He was successful in max
ing helpful suggestions for improving
the product and permitted the COM
pany to take out patents without re-
Enumeration for himself. He strove
with might and main and finally sue
ceeded in convincing the owners that
lit was good business to spend a few

OUR PRAY YER.

written For The Virginian1
Fierce is our foe and loud his words
Against our Lord who rules on high
Against our God who made the world,
The heaven. the sea and starry sky;
Who tells the proud waves, Come thus
far
Who scatters nations far and wide;
who tells His faithful ones TO stand
Firm AS . rock--He's on their side
The foe is strong but God has power
70 break his bands and lay him low.
Father above, VIC pray to Thee:
Subdue the ones who hate Thee SO.
As In the times of old, dear Lord.
Show forth Thy great and wondrous
might,
Close wicked nps and melt their hearts
These, thar love darkness more than
light.
O let Thy glorious truth shine forth
Unto the farthcst ends of earth
o let the brightness of Thy word.
Shine on the souls where sin has birth
Thy glory bring to darkest lands.
Till men no more Thy name blaspheme.
But tell the story of Thy love.
And of a Christ who does redeem.
