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

When you go to the field on a hot
day, you take borne drinking water
along fpr yourself; but how about the
horses? They' get more thirsty in
drawing the nlow than you do in hold
ing it, and they feel th 2 need of a
drink as much as you do. So put
some in the wagon for them, too, if
it's only a bucketful between them.

PRACTICAL ADV
DIVER
Co-Operative Dairying.
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

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

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. '

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

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

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,?

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

glue and bound with cord. Broken
ivories can bc mended with a little .
household cement. Yellow ivories

f%f%\[ in You no longer need wear your
\,# %J i\ J self out with the weakening
heat of an intensely hot kitch
en. You can cook in comfort.
Here is a stove that gives AO out side beat. All its heat
is concentrated at the burners. An intense blue flame (hotter than
either white or red) is thrown upwards but not around. AU the
heat is utilized in cooking - none in outside heating.

Oil Cook-stove
entirely removes the discomfort of cooking. Apply a match and
immediately the steve is ready. Instantly an intense heat ia.pro
jected upwards against the pot, pan, kettle or boiler, and yet tt?ere
is no surrounding neat-no smell-no smoke.
Why? Because The New Perfection
Oil Cook-Stove is scientifically and
practically perfect. You cannot use
too much wick - it is automatically
controlled. You get the maximum heat
-no smoke. The burner is simple. One
wipe with a cloth cleans it-conse
quently there, is no smell.
The New Perfection Oil Cook-Stove
is wonderful for year-round use, but
especially in summer. Its heat oper
ates upward to pan, pot, or kettle, but
not beyond or around. It is useless
for heating a room.
It has a Cabinet Top with shelf
for keeping plates and food hot. .
It has long turquoise-blue enamel
chimneys. The nickel finish, with the
bright blue of the chimneys, makes
the stove ornamental and attractive.
Made with 1, 2 and 5 burners; the 2
and 3-burner stoves can be had with
or without Cabinet.

"Cu(Icura did wonders for me. For
twenty-five years I suffered agony
from a terrible humor, completed
covering my bead, neck and shoul
ders, so even to my wife, I became an
object of dread. At large expense I
consulted the most able doctors, far
and near. Their treatment was of no
avail, nor was that of the- Hos
pital, during six months' efforts. I
suffered on and concluded there was
no help for me this side of the grave.
Then ? heard of some one who had
been cured by Outlcura Remedies and
'hought that a trial could do no harm,
yi a surprisingly 6hort time ? was
completely cured. S. P. Keyes, 147
