Costs of Burning Limestone.
Home Interesting figures on the
cost of burning limestone are furnish-
ed by C. L. Goodling, the farm super-
intendent of the Pennsylvania State
College school of agriculture. Last
fall a lime pit, 30 feet in diameter and
12 feet high, was constructed on the
college farm. Beside the lumber used
in the base, which was 18 inches
thick, the pit contained 58.66 tons of
coal snd 307,964 pounds of stone,
The cost of building the pit and
bnrning the lime is given as follows,
Coal - . $ 64.35
Laying foundation - 5.08
Hauling coal and wood - 24.41
Putting coal on stack ~ 5.46
Breaking stones on stack - 67.13
h—
$166.37
Team labor was charged at forty
cenls rer bour and labor seventeen
and one half cents per hour; coal,
$2.25 per ton at railroad station,
Assuming a good burp, this amount
of stone should make 2000 bushels of
lime. Exclusive of the cost of quarry-
ing the stone, the cost per bushel for
burcing amounts to 8.083. The cost
of quarrying is eo variable that it wae
thought advisable not to include it In
the cost of burning,
A cost of $.088 per bushel for burn
ing would hardly be justified where
one has to pay for all labor. It
should be remembered however, that
the building and buroing can be done
al a time when labor Is not busy, in
wo'ch case labor should not be
charged as a cash outlay,
It took about a week for the heat
iu the stack to become uniformly dies
tributed, The highest temperature of
840 F. was noted six days after light-
log.

Valuable Man Who Was Discharged
Because He Was Not “Ag-
gressive.”
In the American Magazine there ap-
peared an account of a business man
who lost his job for a reason that has
thrown thousands of men out of work.
The story is typical of a certain type
of business man who will never get
ahead in spite of his perseverance.
“Frank Emerson sas not a brilliant
man, and he knew it,” says the writer.
“Industry and fidelity rather than un-
usual ability had won for him a posi-
tion of responsibility and a salary of
$3,000 a year. His own frugality and
the excellent management of his wife
had given them their home and had
provided Mabel with a college educa-
tion. He had worked for the Acme
mills for a quarter of a century, He
knew the trade as he knew his own
street and was familiar with every de-
tail of credit and billing and shipping.
Experienced had ripened his judgment,
and in his way he was a valuable man.
But he did not bring business to the
Acme mills, and it is the business get-
ters who count in the crises. Besides,
was one of those unaggressive
workers who come to be taken as a
atter of course and whose true value
be overlooked in a mass of rou-
At any rate, now that the crisis
had come, it seemed possible for the
with their decreased output, to
nse with his services, and the de
appeared to be final.

18 experience has tended to

Making a Farm Live Again.
The rebuilder of the deserted farm-
stead has been the target for a deal of
cynical, light-hearted pleasantry, but
there is lots of fun to be had for a lit-
tle money, if one has the right temper
ament,w ith a dilapidated house and can
be fortunate enough to find one in a
pleasant setting, with good neighbors
roundabout, says the Countryside Mag
azine. Lots of fun and a chance to dis
play some constructive ability and to
develop an artistic sense of the fitness
of things in which the pleasure is all
the keener if one has to contend with
both physical and financial limitations.

tages on Long Island with thirty or

not build or rebuild as far as we may.
Secret Writing.
We are hearing much today about
secret writing, but havg not yet heard
of anything to heat the simple cunning
of ong Histiaeus, a Greek, at the Per
wlan court, in the fifth century, B. Ce.
who wanted to send a private mes
sage to a friend at Miletus. He took &
slave with him, shaved his head. The
message was then written on his scalp,
unknown even to him, the hair allowed
to Ww again, and the slave sent off |
to Miletus with a letter which all could |
read, saying how well he had been
cured. And the friend, with whom the |
plan had been arranged, only needed
shaving materials to uncover the se
cret message.
