Limestone PAYS.

When everybody is boosting lime
stone the county agent is always de-
lighted to give an added boost. A
clipping taken from the Southern
Agriculturist is given here as
splendid boost for the generous use
of ground limestone:
"The tremendous value Of ground
limestone is recognized far back in
the foothills of the mountains of Ken
lucky. During the past summer the
Rough Creek Community Club, has
bought comparatively four carloads of
this soil-sweetening dust and hauled
il ten miles from London, Ky. Five
miles of this ten miles is new maea-
dam road, but the remaining five-mile
climb is heavy grades with no metal
on il and mud holes are filled with
logs or brush. Even light load is
slow work for a splendid team.
Besides cooperating in the pur-
chase of limestone, this same small
club of enthusiastic farmers has
bought a lime spreader, SO that the
limestone might be properly distribut-
ed ON the land. The Kentucky edi-
tor recently visited the country about
London and was surprised at the
many exquisite green wheat fields
that would have graced the fields of
the bluegrass of the state. He learn
ed that most of these beautiful fields
had had liberal application of lime,
as the farmers had learned that the
dust helped both the wheat and the

Beef-Cattle Judging.

A real need in agricultural regions
today is more widespread knowledge
of how to judge live stock properly.
While the judging of the finest ami
mails is likely to remain an art in
which relatively few persons can at
tain the highest standing, neverthe-
less farmers as whole should be
thoroughly familiar with the general
principles of judging stock. Knowl-
edge of this sort is real asset.
The art of judging beef cattle is the
foundation of all beef-cattle shows,
and also is largely the means of de-
termining the value of cattle offered
in public sales. 1t serves as a bass
for every man who buys and raises
cattle to seek improvement along
well-recognized lines.
Sample score cards for fat and feed
er-beef cattle and for breeding beef
cattle, together with a model card
for comparative judging by class or
team, constitute part of the material
contained in a recent Farmers Bulle-
tin issued by the Department of Agri-
culture. entitled Judging Beef Cat
tie" The 21 pages of text discuss
in popular language the various fea-
lures of judging beef cattle and 1t
contains suggestions regarding their
scoring. The bulletin may be had
free upon request.

in the United States is estimated by
the Alexander Hamilton Institute of
New York to be four-fifths of the
worlds stock. The world has less
than 100000 in all and the United
States has more than 100000. OF
the other countries Great Britain
leads with some 4UJ,OVJ, france has
100000 and Canada $780, 900. 1t is
noticeable that the country that has
the most autos has the poorest roads
on the whole.

Economy Is Acid Test. I'm Judging
Good Cooks.


The real superiority of good cook
lies not so much in making fancy or
expensive dishes as in the attractive
preparation of inexpensive, everyday
dishes, and in the skillful combina-
ton of flavors. The appetizing
dishes a good cook can make out of
the cheaper cuts of meat or of meat
''left-overs" are almost endless. More
skill and time. are required in their
preparation than in the simple cook
ing of the more expensive cuts, just
as more time and skill are required
for careful intelligent marketing than
for haphazard ordering. Once upon
time some housekeepers seemed to
have a prejudice against economizing,
To-day most of them are glad to have
suggestions for economical methods
which will insure the comfort of the
family and keep The meals varied and
appetizing as when they cost more
A good housekeeper. the United
States Department of Agriculture sug-
gests, should take as much pride in
setting a good table at a low price as
manufacturer does in lessening tho
cost of production in his factory.
