Lime and Legumes.
To grow successfully or luxurlantl
ill llio legumes must roxv nodules on
lliolr roots. These ncdulcs conliiln tin
minute organisms that In some wnj
enable the plants to draw a supply ol
nitrogen from the air, not only to give
the plants themselves a luxuriant
growth, but to leavo a greater or lest
portion In the. soil for the benefit of
future crops.
These nodules will not form In acid
mill, and tbo reason that It Is more or
less dllllcult to grow the Iegumes
elover, alfalfa, etc. on many fnrms If
because the soil Is more or less acid
Mine regulates or neutralizes the acid
Ity, and It Is well to treat with lime
nny land where It Is proposed to grow
leguminous crops.
From fiOO to 1,000 or even l.fiOC
pounds of llnie to the acre may be np
plied, and all forms of lime are used
for that purpose. But stone lime Is
evidently the best. It should be slaked
Into flue powder, nnd for convenience
of application It mny be thoroughly
mixed with an equal or even greater
amount of comparatively dry earth,
well pulverized. It may then bo sown
broadcast or spread by nny othet
means and thoroughly harrowed In at
the time or before seeding..
well cured corn fodder ncro for acre,
but, generally speaking. It Is safe to
say that for fording to the cows nn
acre of corn cut at tho proper time
well preserved In the silo Is worth 'JO
per cent more thnn the same acre
would have been were It placed In
shocks and well cured. Possibly thl?
may be accounted for by the losses
v hlch occur to the corn fodder durlnp
the fall and winter caused by rain?
which fall upon the shocks nnd loach
the soluble portions of tho feeding nu
trients from the leaves nnd stalks and
because many of the palatable leaves
are broken off and blown away.
THE HORSE'S COLLAR

Shocp Raising Pays.
Farms whole sheep are depended
upon for the big end of the Income nre
luito scarce cast of tho Mississippi.
But farms whole sheep show not prof.
ts that they are never given credit for
ire numerous. The man who has kept
a Hock of forty or llfty ewes nil bis
life seldom realizes bow much they
contribute to his bank account nnd to
the looks of bis farm until he gets
"sore on the wool trust" and gets out.
lie's generally found getting right
back In.
What She Did Wish.
"Well, why don't you say you wish
you were a man?" asked Mr. Potts
during n little dWcusslon he was hav
ing with his spouse about some mat
ters of domestic management.
"Because I don't wish anything of
the sort," she retorted; "I only wish
you were one!"
Tho Value of Silage.
It Is quite dllllcult to determine the
value of corn silage ns compared with
Quick Both Ways.
A Scotch laird once said to his serv
ant, John, who hnd complained of his
temper, "I am sure, John. It Is nae
suncr on than It's off."
"Aye," said John; "but, laird, it's
nne suncr off thnn It's on."
Neglect of This Matter Sure to
Result In Sore Shoulders.
Pitting tho collar to tho horse Is a
rather dllllcult task. In tho manufac
ture of collars the leather Is soaked
till it Is as limp as n rag nnd then Is
fitted over a steel form representing
the shape of the horse's neck. When
dry tlic.su collars are so firm und stiff
that usually it Is Impossible to buckle
tho harness tight enough to bring them
to the shape of the animal's neck, nnd
tho shoulders nro therefore ndjusted
to the collar rather than the collar to
the shoulders, with sore shoulders us
the result. The neck nnd shoulders
of no two horses nre nllke. It Is there
fore necessary to avoid this soreness
that n stiff collar bo ndjusted to the
shoulders of the horse for which it Is
iutended.
To do this take tho poorly fitting col
lnr, new or old, wrap it nround nnd
around ngnln with a thoroughly wet
cloth or place the unwrapped collar in
three Inches of water und let It remain
overnight. In the morning put the
collar on the horse nnd with hnmc
straps draw It snugly to the sides of
the neck. Be sure that the linnie
straps nre properly adjusted, then
work the horse moderntoiy through
tho dny. After soaking in this wny
tho collar will ndjust Itself to every
inequality of tho shoulder, and the
horse will seldom bo troubled with
soreness. Iiopent the process when
ever the collar Is found nut to lit. Th'j
linnie strap .-dionld be properly ad-1
Justed at top and bottom to suit thoj
shape of the bnrio's neck. M. W. I
Harper.
Making Mulch of Litter.
Don't burn up any kind of coarse
litter that accumulates nround the
feed yard, but save to mulch different
plants In tl.o garden, If some manure
Is mixed wit!: t!ic litter so much the
better. Such mulch will make melons,
cucumbers and many other plants bear
more heavily and will save cultivation
nfter they nro well started.
Salt Needed by Cows.
Cows require from one to eight
ounces of snlt n dny. The more con
centrates they are fed the more salt
they require. It should be where they
can have ncccss to it every dny. Ac
cording to experiments mndc nt the
Wisconsin agricultural stntlon, about
two ounces n cow n dny Is tho aver
tgo nmount required.
The Danger of Criticism.
If you simply cannot help criticising
at least bo enrei'ul in selecting your
victim.
A magazine editor to whom O. Hen
ry bad promised a story many times
without delivering it sat down one dny
nnd wrote him thus:
"My Dear O. Henry If I do not re
ceive that story from you by noon to
day I am going to put on my No. 11
shoes nnd como down nnd kick you
down your own stairs. I never fall to
keep my promises."
Whereupon O. Henry replied:
"I, too. would keep my promises If
I could do all my work with my feet."

The Llama Witlwi Saddle.
In his native country the llnnin Is
trained as n beast of burden, and In
this capacity Is very useful for. hard
and wiry by nature, lie can carry as '
much as a NX) pounds. As n mount,
too, he Is quite easy to train, lndeid.
both the llama and the onflko tnke to
the saddle ns to tho manner born
when once they have assured then
selves that their teacher wishes them
well. Their most striking peculiarity
ns saddle nulmnls, however. Is n strong
objection to linvlng their heads In any
way pulled about by their riders. So
long ns .their mouths nre left nlune
they will amble along quite contented
ly nt n fair rate of speed, but If they
nre ridden by some one with n heavy .
band they show a tendency to stop nt j
once, whipping round In n manner dis
tinctly disconcerting to those who do
not quite realize whntJs going to hap
pen. Wide World Mngnzlnc.
The Dattle of a Week.
The battle of n week was the great
conflict nt Tours In which Charles
Martel overthrew tho Saracens, A. D.
732. The members of the Saracen
army are variously estimated nt from
100.000 to 700.000. nnd the historians
sny that 373.000 were killed on the
field. It is suspected that these fig
ures arc n gross exaggeration, but It
Is certain that few battles of history
have been either so bloody or so decisive.
In the Mining Business.
"I think you said. Rnstus, that you
hod a brother In the mining business
in the west?"
"Yeh. boss, that's right."
"What kind of mining gold mining,
sliver mining, copper mining?"
"No. sail, none o' those; calcimln
lng." Everybody's.
When His Colors Were Shown.
Georgo IV., was a hot sport, and
whllo on his deathbed sent n man to
Epsom to hurry back with news of the
Derby. In 1801 the Prlnco Joined tho
Jockey Club, but not until 1875 did ho
register nnd sport tho "purple body
with gold braid, scarlet sleeves and
black silk velvet cap with gold frlngo,"
tho well known colors of his great
uncles, George IV. nnd the Duke of
Cumberland. In 1877 Alex first car
ried the Prlnco's colors In public, but
was beaten at over four miles by
Avowal. For sonio years tho colors
were seldom seen except at somo
stecplechnscs and two trials to tako
tho Grand National. It was not until
1880 that Leonldas II. in a military
steeplechase won with royal colors.
Then in 188G Counterpane won a
maiden race. Tip, In the New York

Not a Slave of the Needle.
A hot night, so hot that even for a
person making no exertion it Is sim
ply impossible to keep comfortable.
Then through the open windows
comes tho busy whlr-r-r of a sewing
machine. Even in this hot night some
body tolling.
"Some slave of the needle," says
one solemn listener, "compelled oven
into the night to struggle for the
barest existence. Pity- "
"Pity nothing!" says the Jolly man.
"Ten to one this slave of the needle la
a lively girl who Is going to start for
tho country to-morrow nnd who Is
sewing away now like mad putting
the last tucks and flounces in somo
fluffy summer frock that she's simply
got to flnsh to-night because the man
Is .omlng for the trunk In the morn
ing." New York Sun.
