TESTING SOILS FOR AcIDITY
Valuable information May Be Secured
by Insertion of Blue and Red
Ltmus Paper.

One of the common methods of test
ing soil for acidity Is to get from
drug store q few pieces, each of blue
and red litmus paper. A spade is in
serted into the soil to be tested while
your soil is reasonably moist When
the spade is withdrawn one piece of
the litmus paper of each color is
poked into the opening made by the
spade, and the soil is pressed firmly
against the litmus paper which is al
lowed to remain minute or so. or I'M
til the paper is acted on by the soil
moisture. If the blue ftmus paper
turns red the soil is acid. If the red
litmus paper rurns blue the soil is al
kaline. If the paper is not changed in
color the soil IS neutral If you wish
to get the degree of acidity you had
best get a test made by chemist.

KEEPING SCUM FROM TANKS
Ore Of Best Methods Is to Use Very
Small Amount of Copper SuIphate
or Blue Vitriol.

One of the best methods of keeping
the green scum from gathering in wa
ter tanks is to use a very small
amount of copper sulphate or blue
vitriol Tie copper kills the organism,
which is small plantlike growth
called algae. The amount of copper
in the water will not be large enough
to poison live stock. A proportion of
one-half ounce to go gallons of water
is enough to kill all ordinary growth
of this kind. and it can be repeated as
the new growths appear.

HAIRY PERUVIAN HAS
SPECIAL ADVANTAGES
Should Not Be Confused With
Smooth-Leaved Variety.
Is Rapid. Grower, Receivers Quickly
After Cutting and Furnishes More
Pasturage During Winter and
in Fall and Spring.

Peruvian alfalfa has decided advan-
tages over other varieties for those
sections of the United States where 1t
viii grow, say forage experts of the
United States department OF agricui-
ture. This should be taken as apply
ing to the true or hairy Peruvian al
falfa and not to the so-called smooth
leaved Peruvian alfalfa. This later
name the specialists regard as unfor-
tunate, as it leads to confusion in the
seed trade and gives INSCRIPTIONS
dealers an opportunity to make exces-
sive profits on mixed seeds. The
smooth Peruvian is hardly distin-
guishable from common alfalfa"
The principal advantages of Peru
Wan as compared with common al
falfa are its more rapid growth. quick
recovery after cutting, and ability to
grow in cooler weather. thus furnish
ing more pasturage during the winter
and in late fall and early spring.
The territory in which common al
falfa could be probably replaced By
peruvian includes comparatively
narrow strip down the Pacific coast
and along the Mexican border and the
gulf, thence up the Atlantic coast to
the vicinity of Charleston, S. c. It
cannot be grown to advantage where
the winter temperature falls below 10
degrees.
This alfalfa was first introduced
into this country by the United States
department of agriculture in 1899. The
earliest introductions were not per-
petuated, however, and 1t was not I'M
til 1903 that considerable efforts we're
made to produce supply of seed. The
subject of the Peruvian alfalfa indus
try is discussed in detail in depart
ment of agriculture circular 93.

In any lot of chicks there will be
