FARM NOTES.
—The fall season is believed to be the
best for using lime. Every farmer under-
stands that lime gives good results, but the
action of lime in the soil differs according
to the texture of the soil and the amount
of mineral and organic matter contained.
Lime keeps the soil sweet by neutralizing
acids which arise from the decay of animal
and vegetable matter in the soil. Mr. A.
Peets, in England, who bas done much to
attract attention to the use of lime, states
that lime, by keeping the soil sweet, en-
ables the germs in the soil, both those
which convert humus into ammonia and
those which convert ammonia into nitric
acid, to carry on the work which cannot be
done in a sour soil. The carbonic acid be-
ing the product of the existence of the
bacteria, it is as injurious to the existence
of their well being as the impurities of a
vitiated atmosphere are to the well being
of the high types of animals. When nitric
acid is formed by the nitrifying germs in
the soil it unites with the lime to form
nitrate of lime when otherwise it would be
given off into the air. In the same way
lime serves to preserve in the soil the solu-
ble phosphates by converting them into
water soluble and citrate soluble phos-
phates. Also, the potash, by converting it
into carbonate of potash ; both of which
valuable plant foods would be lost, to a
certain extent by drainage. A judicious
application of lime also destroys many in-
sect pests which hibernate in the soil.
Lime, in its dry state, is very friable, and
serves to disintegrate clay lands in much
the same way as burnt earth, thus being of
assistance in rendering the soil lighter.
LIME AS A PLANT FOOD.
It is claimed that there should be at least
one-half per cent. of lime present in any
soil, or one part in two hundred. To test
for lime put some of the soil in an ordinary
tumbler or test tube, pour in a little water
and stir well, and then pour in a little mu-
riatic acid. If it effervesces freely the soil
contains sufficient lime, but if effervescence
is feeble, or is not apparent, the soil re-
quires lime. When lime is applied it
should be in a very fine condition, air-
slaked, and should be distributed evenly
by broadcasting over the surface of the soil.
The tendency of lime is to go down into
the soil ; hence it is not necessary to work
it with a barrow. It should not be left in
piles in the fields if it can be avoided, as it
may prove injurious on locations where it
is heaped. From ten to forty bushels of
air-slaked lime are used per acre, the quan-
tity depending upon the soil and condi-
tions.
LIME AND GREEN CROPS.
As lime is slow in its effects on most soils
the benefits derived from its use may not
be apparent for months, for which reason
‘it is broadcasted in the fall so as to allow
as much time as possible for it to remain
in the soil, the land being plowed inthe
spring. It gives excellent results when
used with green manurial crops, being used
_on the plowed ground when the crop is
turned under, but as the soil may lose
‘some of its soluble plant food during the
winter, if left uncovered, it is the practice
with some to sow rye on the plowed land,
turning the rye under: early in spring.
.Gas lime is also sometimes used, but being
sulphide and sulphurite of lime, and being
very different from air-=slaked lime, it does
not give the same results, and may prove
injurious if used in very large quantities.
Gas lime does not assist nitrification, and
is not therefore, as valuable as may be sup-
posed, though it is a powerful insecticide.
It is not necessary to apply lime every
year. If applied every year the quantity
should be small, not exceeding ten bushel
per acre, and even then it should not be
used every year on the same. land except
when a green crop is plowed under, the
lime then assisting to neutralize the acids
in the soil. Lime is not a substitute for
manures or fertilizers ; in fact, if lime is
used there is all the more need for manure
or fertilizer, as the advantage held by lime
over the fertilizer salts is its chemical and
mechanical effect on the soil. .
—Ot course ‘the methods of protecting
dairy cows from flies are manifold. Some
advocate a light covering. It should be of
burlap or some light material that will mot
make the cow uncomfortable from the beat.
The practical objection ig that the cover-
ing gets under feet and torn, and is not ef-
fective. :
In recent years various kinds of oint-
ments are used ; but they need to be ap-
plied frequently. If the cows could be
smeared once a day, when going out in the
morning, and then left until they come
home at night, these applications would be
more generally adopted in fly time ; bat in
our own experience it requires two or three
applications a day when the flies are very
troubleseme. i
A third remedy is to keep the dairy cows
in darkened barns during the middle of the
day in fly time in summer, and allow them
to pasture at night. This practice is gain-
ing favor with many dairymen. The cows
readily adapt themselves to the changed
condition, and the freedom from annoyance
by flies will show in considerable increased
flow of milk. Remove the windows 'and
tack sacks over on the inside to darken,
and at the same time admit plenty of fresh
air.— Farm, Field and Friend. }
—When the fowls begin' to moult they
will require about three months in’ order
to produce new feathers, but the time for
moulting may he rednced by feeding oily
food, such as sunflower seed, oil cake or
linseed meal. First put the hens on a low
diet, giving little or no food except lean
meat, so as to reduce them in flesh, and
then begin with the oily food, which will
cause them to drop their feathers rapidly.
To produce feathers (the news ones they
should be fed ground bone, lean meat and
also a little sulphur daily, allowing but a
small quantity of oily food after the old
feathers are thrown off. During the warm
season little or no grain should be given.
Feathers consist largely of the nitrogenous
elements and also contain considerable sul-
phar, hence the food need not be of a kind
that is fattening. :
—Quality in poultry is important, and
but few understand that it is difficult to
judge the Juality of a fowl by she color of
ts legs. yellow legs and skin on a
fowl do not in any manner indicate quality
offlesh. On the contrary, the best table
fowls are those that have dark or flesh col-
ored legs, sueh as the Dorking Langshan,
Houdan or Pit Game: The best birds are
those that bave the most breast meat. If
farmers will endeavor to produce choice
fowls for market or for their own use by
keeping the breeds for that urpose, they
will find a difference in quality and better
prices for customers. Breeds that produce
choice carcasses are not the best layers al-
ways, but they are not very much below
the breeds that rank as layers.
Very Long Ranges.
The Gun Which Will Hurl a Shot Twenty-one
Miles. Over a Very High Mountain. Comparison
of the Feat Expected of the Sixteen-inch
Weapons With the Next Best Record.
Undoubtly the most spectacular feature
in connection with the new 10-inch Uuited
States sea coast defense gun is it enormous
range, which is estimated at 21 miles, or,
to be exact, 20,918 miles. This theoreti-
cal range says a writer in Cassier’s Maga-
zine, has been calculated by Major James
M. Ingalis, Fifth United States School for
Officers at Fort Monroe, Virginia. A fir-
ing table for the gun prepared by the Ma-
jor Ingalis show that the above range is
obtainable with a muzzle velocity of 2300
per second, with the necessary angle eie-
vation of the piece. The trajectory of the
projectile shows that in ranging to 28,978
miles the shell would reach the maximum
elevation of 30,516 feet. This is enor-
mously greater than the maximum range
hitherto obtained by any other gun, which,
at present, stands to the credit of a Rrupp
9.45inch gun, fired on the Meppen range,
in the presence of the Emperor of Germany
in 1892. The measured range was found
to be 22,120 yards, or, roughly speaking,
12} miles. The greatest height reached by
the Krupp shell in its flight was 21,456
feet, and the time occupied between the
firing of the gun and the striking of the
projectile was 70.2 seconds. It was
pointed out that had this gun been placed
at Pre St. Didier, in the Alps, elevated to
44 degrees and fired, it shells. would have
ranged 8956.8 feet higher than Mont Blane, .
and its fall would have been ih the neigh-
borhood of Chamounix, on the other side
of the range. This performance, great as
it was becomes positively insignificant
compared with the capabilities of the new
United States army gun. With the ex-
treme height of trajectory of 30,516 feet
or, over 53 miles, the plojectile would in
its fight, rise higher than the combined
heights of Mont Blauc and Pike's Peak,
measuring, respectively, 15.779 feet and
14,083 feet. The total length of the gun
is 49 feet 3 inches. The diameter of the
rear portion is 60 inches, while the forward
part gradually diminishes to 28 inches at
the muzzle. The length of main bore is
37 feet 4} inches. The cylindrical part of
the powder chamber is 90.7 inches long,
with a diameter of 18.9 inches. The
weight of the gun is 126 tons.

Good Recipes to Try.
Corn Omelet—Cut and scrape the pulp
trom boiled corn, of which use one-half
cupful to three eggs, one-halt teaspoonful
of salt, a little pepper and one teaspoonful
of butter cut into bits. Beat together well
and cook as a plain omelet.
Chicken Terrapin—Cut up remnants of
cold cooked chicken into small pieces,
leaving aside all bode and gristle. Pat
into the chafing dish one cupful of cream
and two tablespoonfuls ‘of butter rabbed
smooth in two level tablespoontuls of flour.
Stir until boiling and smooth. Add salt
and pepper to season, then add two hard
boiled eggs chopped fine and the chicken;
when well mixed add two tablespoonfuls
of sherry wine. Cook one minute and
serve hot.
Date Biscuit—For these, take six yolks
of eggs beaten light with two cups of grau-
ulated sugar; slice dates into this mixture,
taking care not to let them stick. into
lumps; a pound or more will be enough.
flavor with a half pint of claret wine, and
stir in flour ‘sufficient to roll nicely in the
hands, and form into round balls. - Sprink-
le pulverized sugar and bake ata gentle
eat. 3
ASTOUNDED THE EpiTor.—Editor S. A.
Brown, of Bennettsville, S. C., was once
immensely surprised. ‘Through long
suffering from dyspepsia,’’ he writes, “my
wife was greatly run down. She had: no
strength or vigor and suffered great dis-
tress from her stomach, but she tried Elec-
tric Bitters which helped her at once, and,
after using four bottles, she is entirely
well. It’s a grand tonic, and its gentle
laxative qualities are splendid for
torpid liver.” For indigestion, loss of
appetite, stomach and liver troubles it’s a
positive, guaranteed cure. Only 50c at
Green’s.
A Physician on Buttermilk.
The virtues of that old-fashioned and
easily pnd drink, buttermilk, have
not balf been sung, says a well-known
physician. It is an actual fact that its
lactic acid is even more healthful than the
citric acids of oranges and lemous. Ibis
credited, too, by those who should know,
with being of value to a rheumatic patient.
It has been found to be both nourishing
and fattening, as well as remarkably easy
of assimilation. If liked at all, it is un-
doubtedly a better drink in summer than
many of the carbonated, artificially drinks
that are consumed in almost uslimited
quantities.
