HOMEMADE LIMEKILN
Where Necessary Materials Are OBJ
tainable Farmer Can Prepare
His Own Lime.

When there is a ource from which
the farmer can obtain limestone or
oyster or clam shells he can prepare
his own lime by grinding or burning.
If small amounts of lime are needed
the burning of the material furnishes
lime more cheaply than does grinding,
says the United States Department Of
Agriculture. Two rows of cordwood
mixed with lighter kindling are put
down to form a layer. Next comes a
layer of coal, then a layer Of limestone,
and after this alternate layers Of coal
and limestone. One part Of coal should
burn several parts of stone. When the
pile is laid up the whole is covered
with a layer of earth and the kindling
ignited. AS the burning continues the
gas must be allowed to escape through
a hole at the top Of the pile or the
process viii not be entirely satisfac-
tory. Oyster shells and clam shells
may be burned In the same way. The
fire should be always under control
and precautions taken to allow the
flames to penetrate the layers of stone
nr shell.

No Snakes in Ireland.

1t is said that there are no snakes
in Ireland, but the story that they
were driven out by st. Patrick is
probably based more on hearsay than
historical evidence. The phrase "Con-
corning Snakes in Ireland" is frequent
ly quoted in connection with the above
story, but the phrase is itself a mis-
quotation and had in reality nothing
to do with snakes in Ireland. The orig
inal phrase does not refer to Ireland
at all, but to Iceland. In a transla-
ton of Harebone's works, "The Nat
ural History of Iceland" published in
London in 1888, chapter AZ is headed
Concerning Owls" and is as follows:
"There are no owls of any kind in the
whole island" Chapter 72 is en-
titled Concerning Snakes" and the
entire chapter is as follows: mo
snakes of any kind are to be met with
throughout the whole of the island"
The application Of the phrase to Ire
land probably at first arose from a
printers error.-New Orleans Times

Cypress Tree Ages Old.

A cypress tree, exhumed from a
small! asphalt pit in southern Califor-
MIA, has lately been identified by the
curator of a Los Angeles museum as
q relic of the Pleistocene or Glacial
age. AS such it was contemporary
with the mastodon, the saber-tooth
tiger and the giant ground sloth. The
find is considered the more remark
able, because no living specimens of
the cypress are to be found in the
vicinity. The tree is in an excellent
state of preservation, too, thanks to
the action of the enveloping tar. The
bark is intact in many spots. and is
unchanged except for the discoloration
incident to long contact with the btu.
minous matter Of the pit. The tree
lacks its roots and smaller branches
but two of the larger are still to be
seen.

MOTHER EARTH CHOSE WELL
Old Lady's Decision on Green for a
CoIoring Much More Than
Accidental.

Why did Mother Earth choose a
dress in Green? The earth was not
always green Scientists say that
once it was MS naked as the moon; but
there came u day when the weather
grew cool enough to demand clothing,
and at that time, no doubt, this mater
nal planet began to look about to
choose a color scheme for her dress.
Why she chose green is not on rec
ord, but that she chose it with her
whole heart every pleasant place Of
creation testifies.
Scientists explain that this is merely
a natural phenomenon, the color being
ch%lorophyl pigment, turned green by
action Of the sun. But why it did not
turn blue CIR red or black, no scientist
knows. About all they can say is
that Mother Earth wanted a green
dress, and she got it.
Green is a restful color. Oculists
say that of all colors green is the
most friendly to the optic nerve. In
lands where eternal SHOWS or eternal
white sands flash up their glazing re-
Elections, men have to shade their eyes
or go blind. But green bothers
the eye. One can stare a forest in the
face all day with impunity. Natures
green's never got on your nerves, and
they never quarreled with any other
Of natures colors and tints.
The professional mixer of paints
knows that fierce color discord can
easily be created by a misplacing Of
green. But nature " misplaces it.
Even blue stands without tying, cheek
by cheek with natures green's. Lark
spurs and lobelias go quietly arm in
arm with their respective foliage. A
rose of any tint or color is best set
off by a green rose leaf. Every spring
or fall color. pale CT tlorid, will shade
pleasantly into green on the very same
leaf.
Imagine the grass Of the field and
the leaves of the forest created blue,
or magenta. or scarlet, instead Of
green! Some speculative scientists
think the foliage of the planet Mars
is red, and that the people there are
seeing red OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

TUBERCULOSIS OF CHICKENS
Affected Fowls Squat in Secluded
Places and Gradually Become :
Quite Emaciated.

tuberculosis Of chickens is quite
common and is caused by a type of
tubercle bacillus which has become
adapted to birds. Transmission of
tuberculosis from poultry to NAM
mails, including man, is are except
in case of hogs. Hogs contract tuber-
culosis from poultry, and are more
susceptible to cattle tuberculosis than
are cattle themselves. Chickens, when
affected. squat in secluded places and
gradually become emaciated. In
dressing a diseased chicken the breast
muscles are usually wasted and the
LESSONS are most likely to be found in
the liver. , spleen and intestines.
Cheesy masses in any of these organs
is always suspicious. The disease may
be detected by means of the intrader-
NAL tuberculin test.-George III. Glov-

FOUGHT WAR OVER LAP DOG
Matter of History That Conflict Be-
tween the FIorentines and Citizens
of Pisa Began Thus.

One Of the bitterest Of the minor
wars of history was fought W a
lap dog. In the thirteenth century a
Elorentine emissary attending the cor
onation ceremonies of Frederick II
saw and admired a lap dog belonging
to a cardinal. The church official, not
ing the admiration, promptly assured
the Florentine that the dog was his,
and the emissary agreed to send for
IT.. The ambassador from Pisa saw
and admired the same dog, and was
just as promptly promised it on the
morrow. Both men sent for the dog,
but the Florentine's servant, being
first, carried it away. The citizens of
Rome, hearing of the incident, began
to joke about it, and the visiting Flor
entines were especially vicious about
the matter. Street fights began and
when news of the affair reached Pisa
the citizens seized all the Florentine
shipping in the bay.
The war that followed was first Of
a series that ended with Pisa falling
before the triumphant Florentines,
and the beginning of the wane of
her power. The famous leaning tower
Of Pisa was only one skyscraper of a
score Or more, although the others
have long since crumbled down. These
towers proved valuable in the attacks
OF the Florentine army, but one by
one were overcome, and the first city
of the world to have a skyscraper
skyline lost its unique standing.

FARMERS WARNED TO
ERADICATE CHICORY
It Has Become Troublesome
Weed in Many Sections.
Seeds of Plant Usually Distributed In
Grass or Clover Seed in Which 1t
Occurs as an Impurity-
Readily Identified.

One mans meat is another mans
poison; and chicory, grown as q vege-
table in Europe, is likely to become a
pest owe here, says the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Chicory is grown as a vegetable and
forage crop in Europe and to a lesser
extent as a vegetable in the United
States. In some sections, notably in
| Michigan, there is a considerable pro-
duction Of the root for use as a coffee
substitute. 1t readily runs wild, and
the wild form has become in recent
years a troublesome weed from the
state Of Virginia northward. Its
spread has increased from year to
year until the Department Of Agricul-
ture finds it sufficiently disturbing to
justify a warning to farmers.
The seeds of the wild forms are
usually distributed in grass and clover
seed in which it occurs as an impurity.
Farmers should watch for the appear
ance Of the plants, readily identified
by the blue flowers and thick roots,
and eradicate it by cutting an inch or
so below the soil surface. After cut
ting, drop a pinch of salt on the sew
cred root, which will prevent sprout-
ing. During the morning hours the
bright, blue flowers are very conspicu-
u and it is easy to locate the plants
and either pull or cut them. When it
appears in quantity it may be eradi-
Gated by growing an intertilled crop,
such as potatoes or corn, for al least
two years. Continuous grazing by
sheep or goats will also help destroy
the weed.
Chicory was brought into Massachu-
sets from Holland in 1885. The prin-
cipal use Of the plant is as a coffee
substitute and adulterant, for which
| the roasted dried root is used. I'M
proved varieties Of chicory are used
as salads and green's. The young, ten
der roots are also edible. One variety
produces witloof, a vegetable that is
becoming increasingly important. AS
a forage plant chicory is little es-
teemed in the United States. but in
Europe it is regarded as a valuable
element in sheep pastures.
Information regarding the control
and eradication of chicory is contained
in Circular l0S, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.

CHARM OF HOUSE OF LORDS
Upper Chamber of the British Parlia-
ment Well Worth a Visit From
the Traveller.

AS the ordinary stranger takes his
seat in the gallery and surveys the
house of lords, he sees much to charm
his eye, to kindle his imagination, and
even to stimulate his sense Of rever-
ence, writes a correspondent of the
London Times. He feels humbled, if
not inundated by the almost religi-
u solemness of the place. 1t is
glowing in gold and colors. All the
glory Of the "tiger moths deep da-
masked wings" CLEANS in it's splen-

gorgeous in the scene. The subdued
light of a cathedral-"dim and yell
low" as Shelley found it in Milan
prevails, Transforming things that
might otherwise strike upon the
enses as garish into a delight to the
eye, and an inspiration to the mind.
Everything heightens the impression
that one is in the beautiful chapel Of
an ancient cathedral rather than in
a modern legislative chamber.
The lofty ~stained-glass windows
have blue and crimson figures of the

Of them were worldly minded men and

with words Of subtle-minded and

axe, welded by brawny soldiers on
prancing steeds.

HELPED BY ROYAL FRIENDS
Musicians of Old Days Found Valuable
Patrons Among Those in the
High Places.

Many a famous European musical
genius has been literally supported at
one time or another during his career
by "the great many musicians being
connected with royal courts especially
in the days when there were many lit
tie princes.
Joseph Haydn for 33 years directed
and composed for the private n
certs Of the princes of Esterhazy, u
ing which period he created most OF
his best rhapsodies.
Beethoven had his life made easier
for him by the Archduke Rudolph and
Princes Lichnowsky and Lobkowitz.
| These three mobiles were his truest
| admirers in a day when musicians oc-
cupied a subordinate social position,
and were regarded more or less as the
vassals of the family that supported
them.
On one occasion Beethoven was
asked to improvise before an aristo-
cratic gathering, He began playing,
but the conversation in the salon con-
tinued. In high anger Beethoven
arose, exclaimed forcefully though
rudely: "To such pigs I play no more!'
and dashed out of the room.
Mozart, anyone who has read his his
tory Of music will remember, was
| kicked downstairs by an upstart serv-
ant of the Archbishop Hieronymus,
who was for many years his patron.

Lake That Has a Crust of Salt.

Lake mat TdS q vi uAl VI So'!
Going through the weird region of
Death valley, in California, travellers
looking from their perch upon a hill
side where a wide view is commanded,
may see what appears to be a lake
of ice cleaning in the sunlight.
When the lake is reached, one finds
it to be not of ice, but that it has a
crust of salt. The surfaces of these
lakes are wet in winter and dry in
summer, where drainage from sur
rounding highlands pours upon them
the flood of winter rains. Evapora-
ton is rapid in this region, and by
the time the dry season begins many
of the lakes have become crusted with
hard salt.
In spite of this abundance, it is
said that Europeans introduced the
use of salt to the United States
Popular Science Monthly.

incomes because their business is
small. Such men, often feel that their
farm business is sufficiently large to
keep them busy the entire year, when,
as a matter of fact, the actual results
accomplished represent less than a
half years work, say farm manage
ment specialists of the United States
Department Of Agriculture. A large
volume Of business may be done ON
a farm of few acres, while only a
small business may be conducted on a
poorly managed farm of much larger
acreage. Without reasonable size of
business there is little opportunity
for a satisfactory profit in farming.
The Essential Factors.
There are a number of factors
which materially affect success in the
organization and management Of
farms. Some are of greater impor-
lance than others, some may be dis
regarded without serious conse-
quences; but as a rule the profits de-
rived from farming depend very large
ly upon the extent to which certain
essential features of organization and
management have been adopted and
adhered to-, say farm management
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Assuming
a type of farming adapted to soil, cli-
matte, and labor conditions, and es-
pecially to local conditions with ref
erence to markets and market facili-
ties, success is generally dependent
upon four important factors: Size Of
business, yield of crops, returns from
live stock, and efficiency Of labor.
Many other factors have their inf1u-
ence and must not be overlooked on a
given farm. For instance, the wise ex-
penditure of capital is very important.
Again, in obtaining a good return from
live stock the efficiency in feeding is
very important. Farm management
studies show, however, that the farm
er whose business is efficient in the
four factors outlined is usually sue
cessful. The farms that excel in non
of these respects usually fail. Those
deficient in one or two may succeed,
but their chances Of success are great
ly lessened.
In comparing farms with respect to
volume of business some of the more
important factors to be considered are
size of farm, acres in crops, the
amount of live stock carried, the
amount of capital invested, and
amount of labor required in operating
the farm. On farms where one enter
prise predominates, such as a special
lied cotton, fruit, or dairy farm, the
best measure of size Of business may
be the acres in cotton, acres in fruit,
or number of cows. The amount Of
labor required in operating the farm
may be used to good advantage in
comparing farms of different types.
Twenty acres of truck crops may, I'M
der suitable conditions, equal 200
acres of grain, hay and general live
stock, both as to labor required and
income received.
Crop yields greatly influence farm
profits. Some farmers make fair prof
its with low Yields because some other
phrase of the farm business is suffi-
GENTLY developed TO offset the poor
yields, but it is doubtless true that

AN OBSESSION.

Did we not know that Our
friend, colleague and associate,
c. D. NJ, was a genial and ami
able gentleman, eventempered
and suave, we should suspect
that his editorial in Our last issue,
"The Ounce of Prevention was
written in anger. The internal
evidence of the editorial is strong
confirmation of such a suspicion.
We entirely disregard the very
unkind cut he gives us in his re-
mark that Though nominally
head of the local Zionist district
and often visiting other cities to
propagate Zionism, S. N. D.
nevertheless seems to have glad
ly seized every opportunity to at
tack the Zionist organization and
those who disapproved his own
particular stand toward Zionism."
This observation, to begin with,
is clearly the outburst of an
angry mood. Our old rabbis say:
"When a man is in anger-if he is
a wise man, his wisdom departs
from him." In modern parlance
we may say, CHS logic leaves
him." c. D. NJ, when not in
anger, would surely admit that
