FARM NOTES.
The fall is the best time for applying lime
on the soil, though some farmers use it
early in the spring. It does well when a
green crop has been plowed under and the
lime broadcasted over the surface of the
land. Lime is procured in two forms for
use on farms, that from limestone being
preferred, but lime made by burning oyster
shells is also excellent, while wood ashes
contain a large proportion. The lime from
stone being taken direct from a mineral
substance, the shell lime being a product of
shell fish, while that in ashes is produced
through vegetable sources. In all cases,
however, the lime is the same, but in vari-
able quantities, according to the materials
from which it is derived, though stone lime
gives the most direct results. When lime-
stones or shells are burned there is a liber-
ation of carbonic acid, the substances being
changed from carbonate of lime to lime;
but as lime has a tendency to revert to car-
bonate of lime it is disposed to take carhon-
ic acid from the air or any substance con-
taining it in the soil. When slacked with
water the result is hydrate of lime, and
when air slacked it takes water from the
atmosphere, becoming a fine white powder,
in which form it is used on land. If the
hydrate of lime is not immediately applied
but remains long exposed to the air, it
unites with the carbonic acid of the atmos-
phere and becomes carbonate of lime again,
being then in the same condition as before
being burned. It has really turned to lime-
~ stone, only it is in the form of a fine pow-
der, and has then lost its power to exert
immediate chemical effect. Lime should
therefore, be applied as soon as it is suffi-
ciently air slacked to become fine.
THE VALUE OF LIME.
Lime is not classed among the fertilizers
which are quickly available for plants.
While it enters into the composition of all
plants, it must consequently exist in all
soils; but its value depends more upon its
tendency to hasten chemical action in the
soil, rather than upon its use as food for
plants; and whether the soil is light or
heavy, sterile or fertile, there is some
change induced by lime when applied to
the land. Its tendency is to work down-
ward for which reason itis advantageous to
apply a small quantity every year after the
first application, beginning with 30 bushels
per acre on light soils and 40 bushels on
heavy land, but even 10 bushels will show
some result, as lime fits the soil for the
presence of micro-organisms which perform
an important function in providing plant
food, an alkaline condition of the soil be-
ing sometimes necessary. As carbonic acid
is largely generated by the decay of vegeta-
ble matter in the soil the application of
lime creates many chemical changes, in
which other mineral and organic substances
are broken up in their combinations, ren-
dering soluble many inert materials that
could not be employed as plant food, but
which exist in the soil abundantly. While
lime is not, therefore, a necessary adjunct
to thesoil with other fertilizers, and gives
but little direct benefit to a crop itself, yet
its indirect action unlocks stores of mater-
ial and supplies the crop with available fer-
tilizer. The action of lime in the soil has
been investigated years ago, as it has always
been known to agricalturists, yet it is not
fully understood at the present day how it
changes soils and dissolves substances which
are not affected by it outside of the soil, as it
seems to play certain parts according to the
soil on which it is used.
LIME AND FERTILITY.
If lime compels the soil to liberate its
plant food it is but natural to suppose that
the constant use of lime will lead to im-
poverishment of the soil. With all its ad-
vantages lime can cause injury if used im-
properly. That it will stimulate the soil
to give up its plant food is true, but lime
is not to be considered as something to be
used alone, or with the expectation of hav-
ing it perform the service which belongs to
nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid. Lime
gives the best results when used in connec-
tion with manure or green crops that are
turned under. Itis the manure or crop
that provides the plant food and not the
lime, but lime induces hasty action and
enables the materials added to the soil to
assume the forms most available for plants.
When the land is sour and grown up with
sorrel (which contains oxalic acid) lime is
said then to ‘‘sweeten’’ thesoil by remov-
ing the sourness, but what it really does is
to assist in changing the acids of the soil in-
to carbonate and oxalate of lime through
chemical combinations, the sour soil becom-
ing alkaline because the lime has taken up
the acids which existed before its presence.
With the changes thus made follows others,
but they may be rapid or slow
according to circumstances, sometimes the
benefits from lime not being apparent until
the second year; but on soils upon which
lime has not been applied for years it never
fails to give excellent results, and in pro-
portion to the benefits derived it costs but
little, is plentiful and should be used more
extensively. ! ?
—Wide tires are made light and strong,
and they serve admirably to pack the roads
and prevent ruts. They are used mostly
on low down wagons, but can be made ser-
viceable with high wheels. Low down
wagons increase the draught, and when the
roads are very muddy, especially when af-
fected by frosts in winter, the low wheels
cannot always be used. If good roads are
made, however, the low down wagons will
do more to keep the surface of the roads
hard and smooth than the road roller, but
if narrow wheels are used hy some farmers
the roads will be cut up. Low down wag-
ons, however, are very handy for use on the
farm.
—The land that produced potatoes this
year may be infected with disease, and it
will be proper to’ plant potatoes on some
other location next year. It will be in or-
der this fall to lime the potato plot, which
will greatly aid in destroying the spores of
fungi and thus assist in lessening the liabil-
ity of scab or some other disease in the fu-
ture. All potatoes taken from the land
should be carefully examined before stor-
ing them for the winter, as any that are
unsound will affect the whole.
—When the vegetables are stored away
this winter there will be less risk from cold
than from warmth. It is better to have
vegetables cold and remain so than to be
subjected to changeable temperatures.
While the cellar should be so arranged as to
protect against severe cold, yet it should
also be ventilated with ventilators that will
be under control. The thawing of fruit
and vegetables does more damage than
freezing-
——You ought to take the WATCHMAN.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
If you want a good dessert made of
peaches try this one. Peel and pare two
quarts of peaches; place in a dish with one
small cupful of sugar and set in a cool
place for two hours; mash fine; add one
quart of water and freeze. This makes a
delicious dessert. Oranges may be substi-
tuted for peaches if preferred, or if the lat-
ter are out of season.
As every one knows, the slanting waist
line is the proper thing in these days. The
Stanislaus girl would have made it popular
if it had not already made the Stanislaus
girl popular, for it so improves the figure
and lessens the apparent size of the waist
that a woman must be blind not to see its
advantages. Contrast any one of the old
fashioned women, whose waist was often
shorter in front than in the back, or even
one whose belt knew no deviation as it en-
circled her, with one whose waist line
slants, for confirmation of this assertion—
but here comes the usual difficulty with
extremists, there is really no necessity for
placing the belt half way up the back in
order to obtain that slant.
That’s what many women do, however.
They place their girdle at least two or three
inches above the waist line in the back and
then draw it down about to the waist prop-
er in front, by dint of which manipulation
they manage to obtain a ‘‘slant’’ which
makes them look more than a trifle deform-
ed.
The slanting waist line on a woman who
holds herself according to the laws presecrib-
ed by health and beauty and whose figure
is normal, arranges itself. There is no
trick about it, and the belt ought to re-
quire neither pins, nor hooks, nor screws to
keep it in position. The waist itself slants
—therefore the girdle must. The latter
should not be worn too tight, if the effect
is to be of the best.
Sleeves arc being made with a band of
three tucks around the armhole, so as to
keep them quite flat, and yet give a little
relief to the severe outlines which not every
shoulder can do with. A sloping shoulder
line is once more the accepted standard of
beauty. For this reason apparently we are
in love with fichus, and we are coming to
scarfs. The fichus are made in batiste, in or-
gandy and innet, and often in flowered
muslin, but the scarfs are mostly white.
In Paris they are often made in silk, with
fringed ends. Here they are generaly mus-
lin. Our grandmothers wore soft surah
silk, with rich brocaded ends, blue and
black finding special favor, and many gauze
scarfs were worn at the beginning of the
century, with embroidered ends, so, per-
haps, we shall come to some of these.
‘We are adopting transparent yokes, col-
lars and collar bands, but the great art is
to make them as high and no higher than
they are needed. It is agreat mistake to
have themso high that they turn down the
wear. A novel collar band emanating from
Paris is a stitched plain band of ribbon,
passing through a large, dull gold buckle
at the throat and finished off in a pointed,
short tab. It looks well for traveling and
morning suits.
In wrapdom there are just three things
to keep your eye on: The ulster, the three-
quarter garment, and the very short jacket.
The dinner gown for al - fresco affairs, a
gown which will serve as the correct toilette-
for the casino of an evening at the water-
ing place, consists of a long sleeved, demi-
decollette gown,and a broad low hat, wreath-
ed with plumes or flowers. How becoming
these hats are with their undulating brims
and drooping garlands! The decolletage,
whether round, square or V-shaped, is
hardly arivalto the robe that veils the
neck and shoulders and arms with but the
sheerest, flattest of gauze coverings, which,
with its pretense of being high necked and
long sleeved to a puritanic extreme, the
sleeves continuing to the knuckles, the
choker high into the hair and about the
ears and chin, is in reality far in advance
of the frankly low cut gown in coolness.
With these long sleeves no gloves are
worn, and, indeed, none are desirable on
warm evenings with this dainty veiling
over the arms, ending ina flaring wired
cuff of gauze, and two or three rings on the
slender fingers below. With heavier un-
lined sleeves of guipure, the gloves are of
lace kid, in the color of the lace, string col-
or, ecru, butter, ivory, pure milky white
or beige, as the case may be.
Sleeves are so close and skimp about the
shoulder now that the effect is rarely be-
coming to very slender figures. Discerning
dressmakers are beginning to discover this
and they are very sensibly adapting the
line of the seam to individual figures. The
tailors have never fallen into the error as
they have fixed notions as to tte way cloth
should be handled which nothing can ever
move. Asudden transition from a well-de-
fined shoulder seam to an undecided and
formless sleeve top weakens the whole ef-
fect of a costume and gives a look of insig-
nificance to the bodice that no amount of
ornament can overcome.
The tailor made frock for early autumn
use adds to the coat a hanging collar of ecru
batiste embroidered in white silk. This is
called the ‘‘shaped collar’’ because it is fit-
ted on the shoulders like the sailor collar
worn by children, and there cut into what-
ever shapeis preferred. Sometimes the
border is deeply indented orsimply waved.
It is cut shallow or narrow, board or deep,
as best suits the figure. Hence its name.
Fruit Crackers.—Prepare a dough with
one cup of cold sweet cream and three cups
of Graham flour, knead well, and divide
into two portions. Roll each quite thin.
Spread one thickly with dates or figs seed-
ed and chopped; place the other one on top
and press together with the rolling pin.
Cut into squares and bake.
If you wonld have a most stylish even-
ing cape make one of cream broadcloth di-
vided in three sections, each section scal-
loped. Beneath the scallops an accordion
plaited ruffle of white taffeta silk and the
plain high collar has a monogram in front
embroidered in gold. Line it with rose
pink taffeta and you will have just the
smartest sort of a wrap for summer éven-
ing wear. Silk and broadcloth you can
secure at different times at remnant sales
and made the cape yourself, so that what
looks like a twenty five dollar beauty will
hardly cost you five.
When the neck and throat have become
brown or yellow looking they may be whit-
ened by the presistent application every
night of the following paste spread on a soft
rag and wrapped around the neck: Honey,
1 ounce; lemon juice, 1 teaspoonful; oil of
bitter almonds, 6 drops; the whites of 2
eggs. Add enough fine oatmeal to make a
smooth paste.
The War in the Philippines.
Probably the greatest calamity that could
ever befall any country would be to have
its inhabitants fully agreed upon all ques-
tions.
As ‘‘competition is the life of trade,” so
is controversy the guarantee of ultimate
righteousness.
In the seventeen-hundred-and-seventies,
there was a considerable number of Eng-
lish people who stood ready to back up in
a substantial fashion their belief that this
great and glorious country of ours should
be continued as an outlying ward of Great
Britain. Others, among them the immortal
G. Washington, also an Englishman, ob-
jected, and a controversy followed, the re-
sult of which we annually celebrate by the
burning of several million dollars’ worth
of powder.
Later, in the eighteen-hundred-and-six-
ties, there was a difference of opinion as to
the probable correctness of the system of
slavery then in vogue in a part of the
States. This, too, was settled, and where
is the Englishman to-day, or where is the
Southern American, who would claim that
those two great questions were not settled
as they should have been, except as to the
method ?
That both could not have been settled
without the loss of life is the unending re-
gret of every truly human being.
Right always triumphs, we are taught,
but that is because whatever triumphs is
always right,—right and wrong being con-
vertible into each other except as to a few
simple every-day principles.
Some one has said that ‘‘the majority is
usually wrong,’”” and history proves this to
have been frequently the case, but the ma-
jority is apt to be always strong as well as
sometimes wrong, and this, when the ques-
tion of war is concerned, makes results that
are often deplorable.
Fighting is a direct result of anger. A
perfectly calm, philosophical, intelligent
man, never fights until someone hits him,
and then he at once ceases to be either
calm or philosophical.
Nearly all, if not all, war could be stop-
ped henceforth and forever if it were possi-
ble to put in the front ranks at the first
battle all the men, on both sides, who had
publicly recommended war. A certain New
York daily newspaper, of the saffron-colored
sort, claims to have been directly responsi-
ble for the start of the recent war with
Spain, and one of its admirers recently
stated to the ‘‘War Editor” that he con-
sidered the war a most valuable benefit to
this country, inasmuch as “it would kill
off a lot of people, and thus make more
business for those who remained at home.’’
Cheering words, those, for the mothers and
wives of the boys who are suffering in the
Philippine swamps.
In view of the existing barbarism that
remains beneath the civilized surface of
our citizens, it may be necessary to admit
that sometimes war is justifiable. . It would
not be difficult to carry on such a war with
all agreed, but it is important that the jus-
tice of the cause be made apparent to those
who make up what is sometimes all too
lightly referred to as the ‘‘rabble.”’
The “War Editor’’ asked his readers—
pugnacious, patriotic, peace-loving—for ex-
pressions covering the question: ‘‘What is
the United States fighting for in the Philip-
pines?” We print herewith a portion of
the answers received. Some were too
lengthy for reproduction and others were
expressed in language hardly suited for
polite ears.
These expressions came from all parts of
the country, and from people who for the
most part are business men. We submit
them as showing something of the present
diversity of opinion on this very important
question.
We have thought best to withhold the
names, although several of the writers were
willing to be personally designated.
We make an exception only in the case
of Edward Atkinson, who has already tak-
en so prominent a part on the anti-im-
perialistic side. His is the first opinion
quoted below:
“1. To subjugate the inhabitants and
to deprive them of their liberty. 2. To
develop commerce at the cost of our tax-
payers,—and with small benefit to anyone
else. (The war tax already amounts to
about $15.00 per family.) 3. To make
places for military and naval officers, and
for the officials that will be required to
continue the suppression of liberty among
the inhabitants. 4. To subvert the con-
stitution of the United States and establish
militarism at the cost of personal liberty.’’
“The United States is fighting against a
portion of one of the Filipino tribes, to es-
tablish throughout the islands a modern,
stable and, ultimately, representative gov-
ernment, which will insure to all the in-
habitants of those islands, of whatever na-'
tivity, the same rights and privileges as are
enjoyed by the citizens of the United
States, and which are not known under the
governments of Asia nor granted by the
governments of Europe.’’
‘If you stop a runaway horse, with a
small boy in the carriage, and the boy hits
you with the whip, isn’t it better to take
the whip away from the boy than to let the
horse run again ?
‘‘The United States monkeyed with the
buzz-saw and can’t get out of the Philip-
pines without being the laughing-stock of
the balance of the world.
‘Because of the need of a foreign market
for our manufactured products, in behalf
of our manufacturers, to whom no admin-
istration dare say no.”’
“We paid Spain $20,000,000 for these
little brown men, and now we are trying
to get the worth of our money.”
‘‘Because the leaders of the United States
are not willing to acknowledge that a mis-
take has been made.”’
ra————
“This illustrates the attempts made to
mystify a plain humane purpose of the
United States government.”’
“To exact recognition and obedience on
| the part of an ally who subsequently be-
| came our enemy.”
“The war was started for humanity’s
; sak’ and is now carried on to humanity’s
j shat I" ~
os % “to the world that our boasted
' De >f Independence was a fraud.”
oA C "Peace of the Philippines, and,
in act, a piece of the Philippines.’
“m= ‘event the European governments
fron _ctting a foothold there.”
“To enable American capital to operate
in the islands with cheap labor.”
‘We are fighting to protect them from
the despotism of usurpers.’’
“Fighting ? Gatling guns against naked
savages; that isn’t fighting.”’
“A war of independence, or conquest,
which ever way you view it.”’
“The same as Great Britain fought for
in America in 1776.”
“To divert public attention from home
mismanagement.’’
“We bought ’em for twenty million;
they’re our niggers.’ :
‘We want to save the Filipinos from
Spanish misrule.”’
‘Peace; and the fight must continue
until we have it.”
“The United States is fighting for its
own shame.”’
“We are fighting to please the spasmodic
politicians.’
‘To gain control of the goods we bought
from Spain.”
“We want to give them a progressive
government.”’
“To provide plunder for
office-holders."’ ’
*‘It is a case of the survival of the fittest.’
“For a jingoistic love of gore and glory.’’
“We are fighting for the glory of Ged.”
“To give McKinley a second term.’
“To make angels of the Filipinos.”
‘To extend Christian civilization.”’
‘‘An outrageous war of conquest.’’
“To maintain our authority.”
“To subdue insurrection.”’
‘‘A land-grabbing fight.’
The above opinions, from as many Amer-
ican citizens, are given for what they are
worth. The “War Editor’’ states as his
own opinion that the administration is
very much in the predicament of the color-
ed gentleman who had a large, enthusiastic
bear by the tail and called to his friend to
come and help him let go.
Whether we believe the existing condi-
tions should have been avoided or not, it is
the duty of every real patriot to lend what-
ever aid he can toward the clearing up of
this most unfortunate state of affairs and,
to say the least, the experience ought to be
valuable to coming generations, especially
if they are readers of history.— Elliott's
Magazine.
