Lime in Heavy Soils Facilitate
Tillage.

Long before scientific study on linn
ing was begun, it was asserted by the
practical user of lime-the farmer
thatliming the soil makes tillage cas-
Ter and effects a better condition OF
seeded. For years, observations in
the field by technologists have afford
ed some confirmation of the sound
ness of these assertions. Manifestly,
the physical effects of lime, as we'll
as the more frequently noted chemi-
cal effects in correcting soil acidity,
must be credited with part of its ben
eft in farn practice.
Scientific study has been directed
mostly at The chemical and biological
effects of lime to the neglect of the
gathering of adequate data on the
magnitude of it's physical effects on
the mechanical, constitution or filth
of soils. Naturally, little of a definite
character is known as to the extent
to which the changes induced in soil
structure by lining accelerate plant
growth.
That lime does granulate soil and
thus improve it's physical character is
well established. This is shown by OBJ
~servat:ons in both the United States
and England.-Farm and Ranch.

Peanuts Should be Shelled Just
Before Time of Planting.

Delay in planting peanuts after
Smelling the seed cause considerable
loss in termination, it has been learn
ed during the course of Investigations
conducted by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The inves-
LEGATIONS involved tests CT shelled.and
unshelled peanuts and the effect of
the time of Smelling on the germina-
ton of the seed.
Peanuts planted after being shelled
for different lengths of time showed
great differences in termination.
Those shelled 6S days before planting
gave only 81 per cent termination
and a yield of 8 1-3 bushels per
acre ;planted 10 days after Smelling,
the termination was rs per cent and
the Weld Al 1-3 bushels per acre;
planted I day after shelling, the ger
mination was ga per cent and the
yield "a 2-3 bushels per acre. A de-
lay of even 9 days after shelling gave
appreciably lower results than those
obtained by Immediate planting. The
termination was only IS per cent, as
compared with "a per cent when
there was a delay of but n day af-
ter Smelling. The yield in the last
case was only So 1-3 bushels per
acre.
Particular stress therefore has been
laid by department specialists on the
importance of holding the peanuts
unshelled until just before the time
they are to be planted.

Buy Good Dairy Cows.

Clemson College, Feb. 20.-The
profit to be made from a dairy herd
depends largely upon the selection of
good dairy cows to start with. 1t re-
quires from so to rs per cent of the
feed a COW is capable of consuming
to maintain her body. 1t is therefore
much cheaper to produce say 80 gal
Ions of milk with ten cows than with
fifteen cows, says ]. P. Lancaster,
chief Of the dairy division.
A good dairy cow is n which,
first, is well bred and carries that in
herent tendency to convert feed into
milk and butter fat; that is, she
comes from a breed and family of
heavy producers. Her owner should
know something about ner history.
Second, the dairy GOV should be an
gular, clean cut, of medium length
and with a feminine appearance.
Third, she should have a strong con-
stitution and be rather large, indicat-
ing that she can consume and digest
large quantities of feed, especially
roughages. (Which make the cheap,
est milk. Fourth, she should have a
large pliable udder, teats of good
size and well placed, and large, long,
CROKER milk veins. Fifth, she should
appear alert and energetic. Sixth,
she should have a mellow loose skin
of medium thickness and soft silky
hair, a clean fine bone, and should
appear free from beefiness through
out.
A dairy cow which produces 800
pounds of butter fat in n year
makes three times as much profit as
one which produces $50 pounds.

An Estimate of Billy Sunday.


Mr.. W. Fl. Wallace, editor of the
Newberry Observer, writes from
Spartanburg to his paper a letter
from which we quote this paragraph,
of more than ordinary weight and sig
nificance:
81 have heard many great preach
ers, such as Bishops Wightman,
Pierce and Duncan of the Metho-
dist church, DR.. Benjamin Palmer of
the Presbyterian, DR.. Dashiel of the
Lutheran, DR.. John A Broadus and
Charles Sturgeon of London, of the
Baptist church; but none of them
ever came up to Billy Sunday, in the
Influence ard power yer the people.
The power is in what he says and in
the way he says it; but there is no
wild excitement, no appeal to the
emotions, no observation-disclosures
the plain truths of the gospel present
ed in his unique and original and sin
cere way. 1t is wonderful and indie
scribable. He has done a great and
lasting work here. l wish everybody
in Newberry could hear him. He will
close his six weeks meeting here Sun
day, the 10TH"
When a man of Mr.. Wallace's ex-
perience and extended observation
places the Rev. Mr.. Sunday before
the distinguished divines whom he
mentions it means something-it
means a great deal. It should go a
long way to arous interest in Co.
|lumbia in the prospect that Mr.. Sun
day will conduct a meeting here next
year.-The State.

Great Edison.

Thomas Alva Edison is the most
remarkable American of the times
in which he lives.
Edison has been a great dreamer.
But he has been a practical dreamer,
who has worked for the progress and
development of the race unselfshly
and with splendid idealism.
When Edison celebrated his seven
ty-ifth birthday, a few days ago,
those who know him best, and appre-
ciate him most, could hardly realize
years past the allotted span of the
Psalmist.
Many men and women endowed
with peculiar genius, never seem to
grow old. 1t seems that the very spark
of genius keeps them always young
and fresh.
The Wizard of West Orange is a
great inventor-one of the greatest
the world has ever known. In the
opinion of many of the thoughtful he
is the greatest inventor in history.
Possessing many splendid qualities,
Mr.. Edison is a real American who
loves his country. He hates all things
un-Ameriean. He is a devoted believ-
er in the everlasting principles of
Justice and of Truth for which the
fathers fought. He is a fine citizen.
Great Edison! W. wish him many
more happy birthdays! Our world is
So in need of faithful men.
We by no means agree with Mr.
Edison in many of his views of public
policies. 1t seems to US, that he Of
ten speaks without authority, upon
matters of grave public Importance.
But be that as it may, he is always
honest, always sincere, ever the up
right American gentleman.
Edison's services have made for
him an eternal monument, which
shall grow larger and more splendid
with the passing of the years.

Testing Seed Corn.

testing Seeo Norh.
Clemson College, Feb. 20.-It is
now the time of year that farmers
should test their seeds to see that
they are in good condition for plant
ing the spring crop. This is especially
true of seed corn. A.method of test
ing for diseases as well IS germina-
ton is discussed below, and detailed
information concerning this method
MAY be secured by writing to Glenn
son College or to the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
If a farmer wishes to test his seed
corn for termination only, without
making test for diseases, there is a
very simple plan which any farmer
may follow readily. The necessary
materials consists of a box, some
muslin, and some sawdust or old
chaf. The box may be made any
size to suit the needs Of the individ-
ual. The sides should be made of 2x4
timber while the bottom may be made
of any convenient material. A box
48 inches long, % inches deep viii
test two hundred ears at one time
This is enough seed to plant about
sixteen acres. 1t usually requires
about IL EAR to plant an acre. De-
tailed instructions for testing seed
corn by this method have been pub,
lished several times and will be fur,
nished upon application:
Testing Seed Corn for Diseases.
Every once in a while somebody
learns something that upsets a lot
of our we'll established ideas about
things. This has recently happened
concerning corn diseases. VIZ used
to think that corr is practically free
of important diseases, but we have
to change our minds. We now know
that there are some very serious ones,
and while we are still very far from
knowing all about them we do know
how to avoid them to a large extent.
The most destructive corn diseases
are connected with the seed and our
method of dealing with them is mere
ly to test the seed and discard those
ears which are diseased. We used to
think that a termination test is the
only one necessary. W. now know
that more is needed. An ear that ger
inmates 100 per cent is sometimes
diseased and unsuitable for planting.
The most practical method of test
ing seed corn for disease is by the
modified rag DOLL" a modification
of the rag doll method of testing for
termination, which makes it possible
to determine not only the germina-
ton but also the condition of each
ear as to the vigor and disease.
By this test it may be found that
among the best appearing seed ears
are many which terminate poorly,
many which produce weak plants,
many which produce diseases plants,
and many which show various combi-
nations of these. Not only this, but
many of the weak and diseased ears
terminate 100 per cent and under
the old system of testing would be
used for seed and would produce
stalks that are stunted, barren, cas-
lily blown over, or produce nubbins
only etc.
Further details and full directions
for testing seed orr can be found in
Farmers Bulletin 1176, which can
be secured from the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, D.
c., or from the Extension Service,
