Land Lined Years Ago
Still Shows Its Effect

Reviewing recent soil experiments
it was found that in all cases the
soils where the lime was applied seven
years ago, are less acin than the soils
adjacent to Them. Lime was applied
at rates varying from enc ton to three
tons per acre, on the basis Of acidity
tests conducted in the. fields at that
time. Only FIVE of the lined demon
stration plots are now too acid to
grow successfully a valuable legume.
Only one of the check plots along
side, which were not lined. are suf-
ficiently "sweet" to produce the same
legume crop.

Bookkeeping Industry
Aided by Sweet Clover

Sweet clover bids fair to revolution
ize the entire beekeeping industry,
says the American Beekeeper. Al
ready it has made great changes, and
the indications are that its influence
will be even more marked in the fu-
ture. Sweet clover has made bee-keep-
ing an important industry in the plains
region where formerly bees were not
worth the trouble to keep them. North
Dakota, which was formerly the poor
est Bookkeeping state, is now one of
the best, all because of the coming of
this plant.
Now we find it coming into favor
with the farmers of southern and
eastern regions. In portions of South
Carolina there are reports of extern
sive planting of sweet clover in rota-
ton with such crops as cotton and
corn.

ture. Go over the entire stock of
tools and farm machinery and make
sure that they are all in good condi-
ton and that repair parts are on
hand which may be needed next sum-
mer.
Delay Is Expensive.
To delay seeding or harvesting
while waiting for your local dealer
to send away for repair parts is ex-
pensive and in the end the wrong
part may be sent by mistake. Order
now to avoid delay
If equipment needs repairs make
them now. If the pillow points are dull
or worn out put on new ones. The
drag teeth or the disk harrow may
need sharpening or a brace rod or
an adjusting lever may be bent or
broken. The harness or hayrack may
need repairs-the moving machine.
hay loader or binder may have been
put away broken.
Experience of One Farmer.
A certain farmer, says Professor
Robb, broke the tongue OF his disk
harrow and let it lie in his shed all
winter without repairing it. When it
came time to harrow the corn ground
he had to stop to mend the disk.
This delayed him several days. then
rains came on and in all he was de-
layed two weeks in planting his corn.
That year an early frost came in the
fall and his corn didn't mature. If
he mad been prepared the two weeks
time be would have saved in planting
would have matured his crop.
1t takes no longer to make repairs
now than later. Professor Robb says,
and when time is two or three times
as valuable later on. the farmer who
does things now is making money.

And the colors stay in through,

Here's the reason. Diamond
Dyes contain the highest quality
anilines money can buy. And it's
the anilines that count! They are
the very life of dyes.
Plenty of pure anilines make
Diamond Dyes easy to use. They
go on evenly without spotting or
streaking. Try them next time
and see why authorities recon-
mend them; why millions of women
will use no other dyes.
You get Diamond Dyes for the
same price as ordinary dyes; 15c,
at any drug store.

The individual hog has all the
advantages of sanitation and con-
venience during the part of the year
when pasturage is available.
When cracked corn is used, the fine
meal should be saved and added TO
the mash. This is a valuable part
of corn, for the corn-feed meal or sift-
ings are rich in vitamine B.
Lopsided apples are usually the re-
suit of poor pollination. If you will
cut through such apples you will find
the well developed side has many
seeds, the poorly developed side few
seeds, if any.
IF the removal of 500 pounds daily
is not enough to keep the silage in
good condition, then more should be
fed per head or few more cattle
might be wintered on the silage on
hand.
Parasites in mature sheep keep
down wool production. as the 1eeces
are lighter, they check the milk flow
in the breeding ewes, and they are
the cause of lotof light, thin lambs
going to market every year.
Gather eggs regularly, twice each
day, during excessively warm or exces-
siyely cold weather.
The most successful way of treating
lice and ticks on sheep is to dip them
in strong sheep dip. This should be
done when the weather is warm. Dip
ping is generally done following
shearing.

Roma Lucille, was constipated from

her and decided to give her some
California Fig Syrup. 1t stopped her

erside drive, New York, is under con-
structiOn.
In an attempt to cope with the prob
able traffic demands of future genera
tons, man has dared to build bridge
of such gigantic proportions as to stag
ger the imagination. The bridge prop
er will Jump the river in single span
$500 feet long, while its length, ex-
elusive of the ornate plazas which are
planned FOR either end. will be 1890
feet. Its two piers, resting on bed
rock, will each be 210 by 65 feet at
base and tower 635 feet above the wa
ter and its floor. which will be 253
feet above the water, will have an
ultimate width of 1873 feet. The weight

The design adopted admits of ex-

a second deck can be swung under the

THE busiest long distance speech
highway in America, according To
the records. is that one which speeds
up talking by wire herween New York
city and Philadelphia distance of
about 100 miles.
So great has been the demand for
telephone service between these two
great aggregations OF humanity that
calls are made at the rate of about
eight per minute CT about 10000
every "a nours-some 200 telephone
circuits being kept busy day and night
Four underground cables, each en-
closing hundreds of wires. In addition
to two wire-and-pole lines. are re-
quired to carry these messages and a
fifth cable probably will be placed in
service by the time this appears in
print.
The underground cables used In
this service are ingenious contriv-
ances. They are considered storm
proof, insulated against dampn, S.
and encased in q sheath OF lead. Al
though less than three inches in diam
eter, a sufficient number of wires can
be packed into one OF them to permit
$50 telephone conversations and 500
telegraph messages 10 be transmitted
at the same time-by virtue of spe-
cial apparatus which makes possible
the sending of many messages over
comparatively few wires.
The amazing demand and conse-
quent rapid increase In facilities for
overcoming the handicap of distance
is here illustrated to the nth degree
