AGBIO#*?BAL MMR Its Value as a Fertiliser Rapidly Gaining Ground. Atlanta, Ga, Special-Realization by farmers of the Southeast of the great benefits to be secured by the ase of agricultural lime and a con sequent rapid increase in the con sumption of that product are indicat ed in the report of the freight traffic department of the Southern Railway . Company for May. The report shows that plants turning out *this product at points on the.Southern Railway in Virginia now have a caily capacity of 3,000 barrels. and that additions and improvements now in progress and prospect will increase this out put to 5,000 barrels daily in a short time, while only a few vears ago the entire capacity was 75 barrels per day. The use of agricultural lime and its beneficent effects, particularly on sour soil lacking nitrogen and conse quently deficient in plant food, is at tracting the attention of soil experts and agricultural writers as are few other subjects at this time. A most interesting paper showing the good effects to be obtained, entitled, "Bulletin No. 1," has been issued by the Virginia Truck Experiment Sta tion, locate?} at Norfolk. A number of bulletins on the same subject have been issued by the Bureau of Soils of the United States Department of Agriculture from which copies can be procured by farmers or anyone interested in soil improvement. The government experiments and the experiences of individual farmers which are I dealt "with in these bulle tins should prove of unusual interest to planters and farm land owners of the South Atlantic States since it is declared that in a great many sections of this territory where land is less productive than in more favored portions of the Southeast, the lack of fertility is in a large measure due to the acidity of the soil. Experiments by the federal and state departments of agriculture have developed the fact that this can best be corrected by the application of lime and tbe growing . of leguminous plants. Lands which had been abandoned as practically worthless have been brought to a high state of productiveness in this man ner as pointed out in the state and government publications which may be had for the asking. Lime is not used in place of ma nure or commercial fertilizers, its use being entirely supplementary, and one cf its chief advantages be ing the power which it gives soil to retain the manure or ferlilizer ap plied to it. There are large 'deposits of lime rock in practically every section cf Ihe Southeast and its use for agri cultural purposes has been the basis if the great fertility of -the famous Blue Grass Region of Kentuckj', the Great Valley of Virginia, the fertile ountry of Tennessee and Northern Alabama and other notably product ive areas. The Southern Railway Company is endeavoring . to encpur age the use of this product which the farmers of the South can- find practi cally at their doors' both by urging the erection of more, plants for its preparation arid by grap ting favor able tariffs for the transportation of the product. President Finley of the Southern Railway Company -whose office is lo cated at Washington, D.C., is great ly interested in the efforts of farmers of the Southeast to improve their soils and on application from any farmer will gladly request the United States Agricultural Department to send him arne?i literature as. may be most helpful, or application may be made to the department. direct A Package Mailed Free on Request o?

The twenty-second annual rbport of the Georgia experiment station has Just been published. It should be carefully read by all Georgia farmers, for it is* full of valuable information. A feature of this report is tho an nual report of the director, Hon. Mar tin V. Calvin. This ls his third re port as the director of this institution, and from this report even those who do not know the man will readily recognize that no mistake was made when he was placed in this responsi ble position. There is no man in the State better qualified than he to fill it. An indefatigable worker, he car ried into this field of work a love for lt and a practical knowledge which are causing the State's experiment station to accomplish really what it was designed to accomplish, and make it a great factor in advancing agriculture in the State. . In Director Calvin's annual report the various subjects are, of course, only summarized. In their variety they show the extent of the station's activity and the all-embracing na ture of the efforts that are being made to lead the farmers to advance in every line of farm industry. But even In this summary form Director Calvin's report contains more meat for progressive farmers than any aut of equal size which might be chosen. For instance, just one short para graph refers to. co-operative dairying, and yet a wide and most interesting subject is at once suggested thereby. Years ago, under other directors, ef forts were made at the station to in troduce cheese making in the State. Barns were built, a cheese-making plant Instituted and an experienced cheese maker put in charge. As in Mr. Calvin's report no mention is made of this, the presumption is that cheese making has been abandoned. But if this be the case, the other branch of dairying, butter making, is receiving more attention, which it deserves. Efforts are being made io interest the farmers in better .stock, and one of the finest herds of Jerseys in the country is kept at the station. Plans for barns, for building siles and everything pertaining to dairy ing is furnished to any farmer on application. Why should not our farmers estab lish co-operative dairies? This would certainly be a profitable business;. More stock should be kept on th* farms to help increase thp soil fertil ity, and by this co-operative dairy system it would be doubly profitable to raise and keep cattle, as well as to have a steady source of income from the farm. Butter is always in good demand, and the high price of meat will in crease this demand; standard dairy butter will aways command a good price. The farmer may not be fixed to operate a butter dairy by himself, which to be successful requires +o be done either on a large scale by ex perts supplied with all the latest im proved appliances, or on a small scale by the- farmer's wife. The first may involve greater eipense than the farmer cares to assume, and the lat ter would place too heavy a burden on the wife. But by the co-operation of a number of farmers a butter-mak ing plant could be established at some eligible place and put in charge of a competent manager, to whom the cream could be delivered daily, as is , now dons at co operative cheese-mak ing plants. By this practical method a regular daily income could be provided for j the farm/ in addition to the regular i crop Income, while at the same time j raising' stock for the market and abundant barnyard fertilizers to in crease the fertility of the laud, and all at slight additional expense. In this and in many other ways Mr. Calvin, as director of the State experiment station, is doing much work along practical lines which will lead to good results.-Augusta Her ald. Sheep Husbandry. The writer has recently received a letter bearing upon wool conditions in this country from a gentleman in an Eastern State, who is one of the highest authorities upon wool grow ing and distribution, and whose adr vice is frequently sought by Con gressional committees when matters are pending concerning wool in sheep districts of this country. He takes occasion in this letter to say that he is at a loss to understand why, with the development of the South along industrial lines generally, and the evident enterprise that is being dis played, that the growing of wool is not promoted to a greater extent. He also states that, in his opinion, the large bulk of the best wools in this country can and should be grown south of Washington. . This man has stated general condi tions so correctly that I am influenced by his opinion, and fully agree with him. The writer does not undertake to understand how the sheep industry may interfere with other conditions A GOOD HOME-MA It used to be, and not so long ago, thaLif the farmer's wife wanted to mak? butter or churn anything she put r%e stuff in a bucket-shaped ves sel anti stirred it rapidly with a paddle. Among the newer kinds of churns, one of the best is that de singed by a Canadian. First there is a light but strong framework mounted on rollers. Midway up this frame a barrel is swung on a shaft which is operated by a driving gear. The CATCHES FRUIT FAL One of the most ingenious of time saving contrivances is the fruit gath erer designed by a Kentucky man. It collects all the fruit that falls from a tree and holds it where it can bc quickly picked up and placed in a basket, also saving the apples, pears or whatever they may be from dam age by falling. A circle of stakes is driven around the tree in a radius wide enough to include anything that falls from it. A circle of canvas, with a hoi? in the middle to receive the trunk of the trees, is fastened around IGE ABOUT SIFIED FARMING on the farm, nor how, from an eco nomic standpoint, other Interests of the farmer may be prejudiced by it, but he knows that there ls a large profit in the sheep industry, and ls certain of this from his own knowl edge, and from the experiences of this and many successful sheep grow ers in this and adjoining States with whom he has conferred, and exam ined their figures as to costs and re sults. We all know that climatic and soil conditions favor us largely in the direction of sheep growing to ad vantage. If we take the States of Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina into consideration, we find that sheep can be fed with less ex pense than probably in any other States in this country, and .that lambs can be fitted for market at a much earlier date than it is possoble for the Western States to accomplish, there by securing the highest prices, for which lambs are sold In the early spring. The wools from the three States mentioned, especially the first two, have attained a high reputation with manufacturers because of their light condition, and this is proven by the fact that Virginia and West Vir ginia wools are to-day sold at as high prices as any American wools which go to market. The writer is prompted to bring these facts to the attention of the farmers in the several States with the view of having them take ^a larger interest in sheep husbandry, and of promoting the wool industry in this section. Nature has favored us in every respect, and if we fail to be en terprising enough to take advantage of the conditions, which naturally are placed before us, then we must surely be lacking in progressive spirit. We should have more sheep, more lambs, and more wool, and we do not doubt that any farmer who has a flock of fifty or more sheep, and keeps a rec ord of costs and receipts, will readily ascertain the large profits th'at he is getting out of his sheep, and the im provement of the land, which sheep Invariably produce. We are farming scientifically along other lines, and we mus', care for sheep in the proper way to get the best results, and we should endeavor in the several States in this Bection to promote the sheep industry, and use those methods of caring for sheep and keeping .them, in good condition" that arc applied in the Middle-Western States to gocd ad vantage. I write this article with the view of bringing about an agita tion on sheep and wool growing, and I believe that it would be a good plan, at no far-distant day, to endeavor to bring together in a large meeting, say in the city of Richmond, all of those who feel an interest In the pro motion of sheep husbandry, thereby exchanging views, and probably form ing an association to be known as the Sheep Grower's Association, and en deavor through this meeting to ac complish like results to those which have b?en brought about by fruit growers and other farm industries, which are of no greater Importance than our sheep industry.-Jos. Wal lerstein, in the Southern Planter. . Showing How Plants Feed. J- I VI In the South only the first few inches of soil is stirred and the crops feed near the surface, resulting in quick soil depletion. Roots seek food. When ground is plowed deep plant food is made available to the depth loosened, and the roots go deep, supporting the plant well and furnishing an abundance of nourish ment. Enemies of Chickens. The hawk generally carries off the young chicks, but if they attack larger ones, their bodies will be left, and it will be found that death has been caused by the bael: the neck, the skull torn open, and the feathers (if the carcass has been devoured so that the skull evidence is not/avail able) are widely scattered around, but not trailed. Should the chicken be found lying dead on its side, with Its neck stretched out. and a small wound In the throat, it is the work of a weasel that has sucked its life blood. If a carcass is found with the head and breast devoured, lt is the work of a cat. As a rule, the rat does it deadly work at night, and hare the carcass ls often found very badly mangled. The entrails are gen erally drawn out, but not eaten, and the carcass is bitten and gnawed in n any places DE MILK CHURN. driving gear is worked by turning a handle. A hook at the bottom of the barrel holds it stationary while the top is being opened and it is being filled. Then the top is fasten ed on tight, the hoop released and the handle turned. By means of the gearing the barrel is spun around rapidly and in a few minutes the churning is done better than it could have been done in the old days after long and weary work. ' LING FROM TREES. thc latter and also fastened to the stakes with the outer edge of the ring lower than the portion around the tree. Around the outer edge, too. is a wall to keep the contents from rolling off to the ground. The' fruit falls from the tree into this canvas net and is thus saved from bruising. It rolls down to the outer edge and lies there until the picker comes along and collects it, thereby saving the.dafter time and trouble and keep ing the fruit itself in good condi tion. . ' Why Not a Good Roods Laboratory? The problem of maintaining good reads, always a most important one in the United States, has recently been rendered of critical urgency by the rapid development of the automo bile-the most destructive vehicle to road surface that ever ran on our modern highways. The public resent ment or regret, as the case may be, against the destructive eTects of au tomobile traffic should bo tempered by the recognition of the fact that it has been thc most active instrument in awakening the public to the neces sity for abandoning the old slipshod methods of road building, and con structing them according to the best engineering practice. If it were possible to rebuild all our roads of the most approved and highest class of construction, and if the most suitable material were every where available, the problem would be greatly simplified, but such uni form excellence is impossible, both because of the cost and of the diffi culty of finding the ideal materials within economical haujing distance of the work. In a country of such wide extent and such varied geologi cal formation as the United States, the question of the best kind of roads to build in any locality .must be de termined largely by the local condi tions-the climate, particularly as re gards the amount and distribution of the rainfall; the nature of the under lying soil, its bearing quality, capac ity for quick, drainage, etc., and above all, the character of the materials available for road building, must all enter into the problem^ The French engineers, with their characteristic thc mghhess, have long recognized the importance and com plexity of the good roads problem, and nearly half a century ago they commenced that careful investigation which is still being carried on by a force of trained experts. The anal ytical study of the subject, which was set on foot by M. Buffet, Engineer of Roads and Bridges, as far back as 1S6S, has developed into the present municipal laboratory; which has so greatly extended its field of work, that to-day it is considered by many to be the finest in existence. At the date mentioned, apparatus was in stalled for testing the resistance of paving materials to wear by friction; which was followed'by a machine for testing the resistance to abrasion of the stone used in Ma'cadamn roads. The laboratory also includes means for artificially producing those condi tions and forces of a climatic char acter which tend to break up and de stroy rpad surfaces. Now here, it seems to us, is a plan which might, very well be followed in this country by the founding of a na tional good roads laboratory, say at Washington, which might co-opeivate with similar but smaller institutions provided for and controlled by the various State legislatures. The cost of carrying on such institutions would represent but a moderate percentage of the money that ls annually thrown away on the construction and so called repair of highways by the pres ent defective methods. - Scientific American. For the Road Fund. The new automobile license laws enacted by the forty-fifth General As sembly of Missouri have netted the good roads fund over $35,000. The licences are graded as follows: Chauf feurs, $2; dealers or manufacturers, $5, and owners, $5. . Why France is Rich. Paris is the mecca of foreigners. They come from all parts of the world to enjoy life in the great metropolis; and the yearly income from this source alone approximates $600,000, 000. Along with this item the earn ings of French capitalists on their in vestments in the securities and prop erties of other countries amount to fully $250,000,000 yearly. On the other side of the account is an ad verse balance of trade, which in 1907 amounted to $120,000,000. Deduct this outgo from her income of $S50, 000,000, and it leaves France with $730,000,000 to the good. Instead of getting an income of $600,000,000 from foreign tourists, the United States pays out at least $150,000,000 for the expenses of American tourists abroad. Again, instead of drawing' $250,000,000 yearly from foreign in vestments, this country pays out $-300,000,000 to foreign investors in our securities and properties. A third factor is the army of aliens who flock here from all parts of the world to hoard up money which they take back to their own countries; this drain costs us $300,000,000 more. Add $100,000,00u more which we pay for ocean freights in foreign vessels and the yearly outgo is $$50,000,000. Deduct our yearly income of $500, 000,000 for favorable trade balance, and it leaves a yearly deficit of $35 0,? 000,000.-Moody's Magazine. i Reproving Him Gently.

Gas Waste in Cooking. The majority of women waste gas in cooking. The wasteful ones keep the burner on at full height all the time food is cooking, and oven burner' turned on full until the food is taken out. When the boiling has started the gas may be lowered so that it merely maintains the boiling, and often the simmer burner is sufficient. In many instances the oven burner may be turned off before the food is done, and the heat retained in the oven will be sufficient for the proper cooking 0/ the food.-Indianapolis News. Decorations For the Table. For the small sum of twenty-five cents a luncheon 01 dinner table may be made exceedingly attractive if a jar or vase of flowers is placed in the centre. Failing those, when the in come must be considered, fruit is a good substitute, and a dish of oranges is by no means to be despised, even as a centrepiece for dinner. The fruit shculd be put into a glass, silver or fancy bowl. As green adds enromously to their decorative effect, an effort should be made to get it, and if the cast of buying at a florist's makes it prohibitive, one should try fruit dealers, for almost all fruits that are boxed from whole salers have green leaves as trimming. Mountain laurel is frequently used by them, and for ten cents one should secure two or three sprays. The leaves may he stripped off and placed among the interstices of the whole oranges. They will keep for several days. Asparagus vine is never etpensive, and a fancy bowl of this in the centre of the table is ornamental. The addi tion of a rather large bow of bright red satin ribbon, tucked among the sprays, will greatly increase the warmth of effect. Any person who has friends living out of town should be able to get hydrangeas now. These flowers have wonderful powers of endurance. I use this expression because they seem to be able to withstand dust, and dry in perfect shape. For a while they are nice on the table, particularly if centrepieces embroidered in different bright colors are placed beneath the jar holding them. Hydrangeas should never be put into glass. They require the thickness and color of china. A pretty piece of copper in which a small fern is placed is one of the most economical ways of decorating the centre cf a table. For the mev.al when kept bright takes on a pinkish shade that is charming, and ferns put in it, if small and low, are prettier than when large. Red in th? centre piece, or deep pink, adds to their beauty.-New Ycrk Herald. To Care For Pianos. In many households there is not a piece of furniture that is more sorely neglected than the piano, and any one who has studied the construction of the piano knows that its mechan ism is more delicate, intricate and sensitive than any other musical in strument. It is no wonder that it re quires a great deal of care when thi3 is takr~ into consideration, and suf fers severely from neglect. Some people are of the ;piniou that they are treating their 7*0 well when they have it tuned onc'.,r twice each year, but it should be tuned no less than four times annually to prevent loss of pitch, and should be kept at a concert pitch all the time. To raise or lower it half a tone means to spoil it immediately. It is almost as important to place the piano well as to have it tuned'. It should not be put too near the wall, as th'is absorbs the tone, and it should be placed near the inner wall rather than the outer, to prevent dampness or cold from affecting it. Dampness is a stanch enemy of pianos; it rusts the wires, rots the felt, splits the hammers and makes the keys stick. A. changing temperature is almost as dangerous, and too great heat, such as caused by the proximity of a radia tor or a fireplace, has also its bad ef fects. Heavy carpets muifle the sound, and this is one of the reasons why music rooms should always have hardwood floors, and why pianos should always be placed on little glass insulators when possible. A piano should be kept free from bric-a-brac, pictures and lamps, be cause they all tend to make the tone metallic. So often when a note is tinny or tremulous it is because it is In sympathetic vibration with some object on or near the instrument. When the pedals squeak they should be greased, and not oiled, or a little talcum powder may be puffed into the hinges. Broken hammers, if not bad ly damaged, can be repaired with hot glue and bound with cord. Broken ivories can bc mended with a little . household cement. Yellow ivories :an be cleaned with alcohol.-Wash* inglon Star.
