PHONE TALK
RECORDED

A telephone that answers itself
when it's owner is out has
recently been invented in Sweden.
In principle, the instrument is
said to operate like a monograph
attached to an ordinary telephone
in such a way that it can be left
in contact with the central tele-
phone office. The message is
recorded on a sensitive roller, and
when the owner returns, he turns
a switch and the machine repeats
precisely what has been said.

LIME AND ALFALFA

To grow alfalfa is highly desir-
able. The dairy COW needs this
crop. Alfalfa is highly relished by
poultry. The soil needs it. The
farmers of Sussex need it because
it will lessen production costs for
both animal products and crops.
Alfalfa hay is high in protein
compared with other legumes.
Three tons of alfalfa hay will pro
duce as much milk as five tons of
red clover. Then, too, alfalfa is a
high yielder, producing from two to
four tons of cured hay per acre. An
acre of alfalfa will yield as much
protein as three acres of common
clover.
Alfalfa can be grown in Sussex
county. The only requirements are
that the soil conditions and seed be
right, free drainage, adequate lime,
incubation, and liberal supply of
phosphate.
Lime is of prime consideration.
On the average, five pounds of hay
can be expected from each pound of
lime used on lime needy soils. The
all important point is that lime
must accompany alfalfa on acid
soils, and when so used the crop
will respond. About one cents
worth of lime has given an alfalfa
increase of about three pounds at
our Experiment Station at Newark.
Of all the crops, alfalfa offers the
highest returns from lining. On the
sassafras soils of Sussex it gave a
net acre income of $4,000 above the
cost of lining.
Alfalfa needs lime because it is a
greedy consumer of it. It uses
about five times as much as cereals.
and on soils lean in lime, alfalfa
will not grow. This crop can not
tolerate an acid soil. Again the
bacteria that works on the roots of
alfalfa are very sensitive to acid
soils. In fact they cannot do their
best work in soils that are sour. 1t
is for this reason that lining will |
also act as good insurance for suc- |
cessful incubation.
Most of our soils in Sussex are
in need of lime. AS to the amount
to use, the only safe plan is to have
each soil tested in order to know it's
specific lime need and then treat
accordingly. Each soil or each field
IS a problem within itself. II is
rather hard to give a blanket rec

needed, can bring alfalfa, the Queen

INSIDE INFORMATION

Refreshing ices for summer des-
serts can be made from almost any
fruit juice, sweetened to taste and
favored with a little lemon if the
juice lacks acidity. White of egg
may be added when the ice is partly
frozen.
One of the easiest emergency des-
serts for company menu in sum-
mer is shortcake, made with any
fresh fruit, whipped cream, and
either sponge cake or biscuit dough.
Peaches, respberries and bananas
all make good shortcakes.
When binding the neck of a dress,
use a double bias fold about three
fourths of an inch wide when folded.
Place the raw edge along the neck
edge of the garment with the bind
ing lying on the right side. Stitch
about a quarter inch from the edge.
Turn the binding over and haste
! down, without turning in the folded
edge. Stitch again on the right side,
close to the first stitching. This
catches the binding at the back and
makes a neat, firm finish.
Chewing-gum is hard to remove
from clothing, and sometimes leaves
stain. Chewing-gum usually con-
tains a gum known as chicle, which
has been boiled down, favored and
sweetened. Resins of various kinds ,
are sometimes used A gum stain |
can often be softened with egg white
and then washed. Prolonged treat |
ment with carbon tetrachloride is
also satisfactory as rule, although
it may be necessary to remove
traces of sugar by sponging with
water at intervals
No matter how careful you are,
you will sometimes find weevils or
worms in packages of cereal, in the
-four bin, or on dried fruits or nuts.
These pests come from minute eggs,
deposited probably before the pack
age was sealed, or before the food
entered your kitchen. Destroy all
badly infested food and any paper j
containers. Wash and scald the /
-four bin and other permanent con-
-ainers before using them again. .
Never leave cereals when going ;
away from home for any length of i
line. One weevilly package will !
'ontaminate everything else the in :
