Farm Notes.
—Lime is applied to the soil to the
best advantage in the late summer or
fall. Its ph is downward, hence
itie advisable to simply broadcast it
over the surface of land that has been
plowed and allow the rains to carrylit
down. The best results from lime are
obtained when a piece of sod land is
turned under, the lime and green ma-
terial making a ‘‘combination” super-
ior to either alone. Lime cannot take
the place of commercial fertilizers, but
as it is so cheap and easily obtained it
should be used freely on all farms and
upon both clay and sandy soils, owing
to its chemical and mechanical on land.
It is also plant food, entering into the
structures of all plants, and exists, to
a certain extent, in every kind of soil,
but it is partly deficient on sandy soils,
upon which no application of lime
has been made if such soils have been
used for the production of crops for
several years, especially if the eoils are
porous and easily leached.
EFFECTS OF LIME ON SOILS.
Lime agit comes from limestone is
carbonate of lime until burned, when
the carbonic acid is then driven off,
leaving the caustic (oxide of calcium).
In this condition it has an affinity for
moisture, combining with water to form
hydrate of lime, which is termed
“slaking, the lime falling to pieces as
a fine powder. It also absorbs mois-
ture (but more slowly) from the air,
which is known as “air slaking.”” It
still possesses an affinity for carbonic
acid, the preference being to return to
its original condition of carbonate of
lime. In other words, after the lime-
stone is burned the lime devided from
it sooner or later becomes limestone
again, but in a more divided condition.
It is the effort on the part of lime to
return to its original condition as a
carbonate which induced it to derive
carbonic acid from any and all sources,
and in so doing it breaks up the com-
binations of other substances in the
soil, and causes the building up or for-
mation of new compounds by the dis-
integration of others, the chemical ac-
tion being such that many insoluble
substances are rendered soluble and a
greater supply of plant food is supplied
to crops.
GREEN CROPS.
When lime is used on land that has
grown a green crop, and which bas
been recently turned under, the lime
immediately induces chemical action,
especially with the enormous amount
of vegetable matter in a succulent or
green condition, forming numerous
salts, and thus hastening decomposition
The action of lime on green material is
too varied to enter into details, as the
characteristics of the soil and its fer-
tility are factors to be considered, but
itis profitable to all farmers who grow
green manurial crops to apply lime,
and it may also be added that where
clover or grass crops are to be seeded
down this fall or next spring lime is a
special fertilizer, and always gives ex-
cellent results, but should be followed
by other fertilizers, as lime of itself is
not a complete: plant food. It is cheap
enough to be within the reach of all
and should be used freely.
—The old strawberry beds that have
just been picked over can be made to
do good service next year if they are
kept clear of weeds and grass. Old
beds come into bearing early ; that is,
the first pickings are secured from old
beds before the berries on new beds are
ripe. Keep the old beds clean and cul-
tivate between the rows with the culti-
vator in a manner to loosen the soil, to
quite a depth. All weeds in the rows
among the plants must be pulled out
by hand.
—Beets are luxuries on the table
when tender and free from toughness.
The first crop soon becomes unfit for
the purpose of table use if allowed to
remain in the ground to grow larger
than medium size. To have tender
beets until late in the season plant a
row or two now. Much depends on
how they are grown, however. They
should be forced with artificial fertil-
izers.
—Cabbage may be protected against
the cabbage worm by watching for the
white butterflies and destroying them.
This may appear as tedious work, but,
never-the less, it is practiced by many
growers with excellent results, being
more economical thar endeavoring to
destroy the worms in the cabbage.
—The early cabbage should be
given a small amount of nitrate of soda
should the leaves not have a green and
healthy appearance. The [nitrate
shows wonderfully on cabbage, the ef-
fects being noticed in 48 hours if a rain
comes on after the fertilizer is ap:
plied. ’
—Irrigation by the use of windmills
is increasing rapidly. Throughout
some portions of the West the wind-
mills are reducing liability of loes
from droughts, and the Eastern farm-
ers will find windmills worthy of their
consideration for that purpose.
—String beans can be had through-
out the whole summer by planting
about once a month for successive sup:
plies. The seed germinates quickly
and the plants grow rapidly. They are
now grown extensively for picking.
—Over 5000 horses were sent to Eng-
land from the United States the first
-four months of this year. against 2000
for the same period last year, which
‘indicates that our trade in horses with
Europe is increasing.
—After the tomato plants have
‘made progress in the open air apply
superphosphate on the land broadcast-
-ed, at the rate of about 200 pounds per
acre.
2 Where limbs of trees have been
injured by winds saw them off €o0 as to
leave a smooth surface, and then apply
‘melted tallow to the exposed portion.
The Art of Spelling.
Many Distinguished People Who Were Misera-
ble Failures in this Direction.
A little boy examined before a magis-
trate, was asked to spell the sentence.
«J am grateful for the benefits I have
received.” He managed to spell it all
correctly, except the last word, which
he wrote thus, “recieved.”
The magistrate pronounced this to be
fatal,” and sent the lad to school.
Enforce the same rule impartially all
round, and where would be half the
world’s celebrities ?
Take two ladies first, Sarah Bern-
hardt cannot spell well, and one of
our own most celebrated actresses does
not spell correctly. In a recent auto-
graph letter of hers we find ¢soccurred.’’
Then Bismark never could spell.
He himself has confessed to ‘‘a lack of
diligence at school,” as & consequence of
which his letters contain many spelling
errors. John Bright was another
statesman somewhat in the same par-
ticular:
Among literary men, a famous jour-
nalist is a conspicuously bad speller.
A brief examination of his “copy” is
generally sufficient to discover an error.
In a short letter of his occurs the curi-
ous blunder ‘‘populer.”’
But plenty of authors slip occasional-
ly. Even Oliver Wendell Holmes
makes a mistake in spelling the rather
common word “indispensable,” which
he writes “indispensible.”’—
Tedious Suffering Finds Relief.
HavergIiLL, N. H.--Many physi-
cians have pronounced as incurable, dis-
eases of the skin and blood. Mrs. Hod-
sdon of this place abandoned the old
method used Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite
Remedy and was cured.
In October, 1890, Mrs. Hodsdon suf-
fered from a diseased ankle bone. She
had always been troubled with Salt
Rheum which aggravated the diseased
limb. Prescriptions of all sorts were
used, but with no benefit. Dr. Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy was tried and
it drove the poison out of her blood,
healed the ulcerous sores, and restored
Mrs. Hodsdon to health and strength.
Favorite Remedy cleanses the blood,
and strengthens the nerves. In cases
of secrofula and salt rheum, it never
fails.
ET,
In the East it is customary to cut the
lashes of female children while they are
sleeping, so that art, as well as nature,
has something to do with the drooping
eyelashes of Oriental beauty.

The Wisdom of the Past.
“Twas said by ancient sages
That love of life increased with years
So much, that in our latter stages,
When pains grow sharp and sickness rages,
The greatest love of lite appears.”
But to retain the vigor of youth, the
enjoyment of life, the blessings of a
healthy appetite, and a good digestion,
take Dr. Phirce’s Golden Medical Dis-
covery and live to a hale and hearty old
age. For dyspepsia, indigestion, “liver
complaint” and kindred ailments it’s
guaranteed to cure or money paid for it
will be refunded.
