Hopkins, Chief in Agronomy and Chemistry, Illinois Agricultural College. There are two principal affects pro- duced by using lime on soils: One of these is to correct the acidity of the soil, and the other is to decom- pose the soil itself. To correct the acidity of sour soils is certainly a very desirable and profitable use of lime. Clover, alfalfa, alsike, cow- peas, soybeans, and many other. leg- umes will not thrive on soils which are strongly acid. To be sure such crops can be made to grow on acid j soils by liberal applications of farm manure or other complete fertilizers but the nitrogen-gathering bacteria. of the legume plants do not properly develop and multiply in acid and con- sequently the legumes do not have the power which they should have to and other swamp soils, it would seem altogether rational to make use of caustic lime to hasten the decompo- sition of the soil and consequent lib- eration of nitrogen, if such treatment fs necessary. As a general rule we should use lime only to cdrrect the acidity of the soil, and this is necessary only where there is difficulty in obtaining a good stand and luxurious growth of a legu- minous crop, such as red clover, As to the form of lime to use for this purpose, the farmer must be governed somewhat by the cost of the material. Fine-ground lime will be both the best and the most economical form of lime to use wherever it can be obtained. If caustic lime be used we should First Year Clover (Mostly Foul Grass) With no Special Soil Treatment. accumulate large quantities of atmo- spheric nitrogen by means of the bac- teria which inhabit, or should inhabit, their roots. Furthermore, the proc- ess which is termed nitrification by which the nitrifying bacteria trans- form the insoluble organic nitrogen, | in farm manure and plant residues, into soluble nitrate nitrogen the form in which it becomes available as plant food, is greatly promoted by the pres- ence of lime and retarded by acid con- ditions. It will thus be seen that the use of some form of lime for correcting the acidity of soils and thus encouraging the growth of clover and other leg- umes with wonderful power to enrich the soil in nitrogen is certainly good farm practice. Any form of lime which is finely divided and can be thoroughly mixed with the soil will serve to correct the soil acidity, whether it be ground lime- stone, marl, or chalk, or fresh burned lime, water-slacked lime, or air- slacked lime. The other effect produced by lime, the effect for which it has been most used in past ages, is the decomposi- make special provision to maintain the humus in the soil. It is well to have some regular plan so that the application of limestone shall fit into the work with the rota- tion of crops. Thus, one may prac- tice a five-year or six-year rotation, as follows: First year—corn, ‘sige SEM een rian Second year—oats, cowpeas or soy- beans. Third year—wheat (with. clover and grass). Fourth year—meadow for hay. Fifth year—meadow or pasture. Sixth year—pasture. There should be as many fields, of approximately equal size, as there are years in the rotation, so that every crop is represented every year. Thus, every year there is a field in pasture on which the manure can be spread as fast as it is made; and, if rock phosphate is used, it should go on with the manure, to be plowed under for corn. The limestone may well be applied in the summer of the second year, after the land is plowed for wheat. In the further preparation of the ground the limestone becomes mixed with the surface soil, and the packing of the soil in spreading the First Year Clover (“Knee Deep”) With Lime Treatment. tion of the soil itself. In this de composition the organic matter of the soil is destroyed with the liberation of nitrogen and phosphorus held in organic form and the mineral parti- | cles of the soi] are disintegrated with | the liberation of some plant food ele- | ments, as potassiym and phosphorus | held in inorganic form. This effect | is produced by fresh-burned lime or } fresh-slacked lime. Thus it will be seen that the first effect of lime, the correction of soil acidity, results in a building-up proc- | ess through the increased growth of | legumes and nitrogen-gathering bac- teria; while the second effect, the de- composition of the soil, is in all re- spects a destructive process, serving only to liberate and reduce the stock of plant food stofed in the soil. Whether this second effect is desir- able will depend upon the nature of the soil itself. On soils which are exceedingly rich fin organic matter, such as peaty soils, limestone and in subsequent prepara- tion is likely to be beneficial for the wheat crop. Wheat is usually helped by liming and the lime-stone will be thus in the soil to benefit the clover to be seeded the following spring.

Hands Cracked and Bleeding—Nail Came Off ot Finger—Cuticura Rem- edies Brought Prompt Relief. “I had eczema on my hands for about eleven years. The hands crack- ed open in many places and bled. One of my fingers was so bad that the nail came off. I had tried so many rem- edies, and they all had failed to cure me. I had seen three doctors, but got no relief. Finally I got a cake of Cuti- cura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent Pills. Of course I keep Cuticura Soap all the time for my hands, but the one cake of Soap and half a box of Cuti- cura Ointment cured them.

The sultan, who witnessed the per- formance of the dogs in his private grounds, expressed great delight at their work. Maj. Richardson says that the sultan is a good sportsman, with a thorough knowledge of dogs. The system has been adopted for the Turkish army. Shake Into Your Shoes Allen’s Foot-Ease.

We can hardly realize that of | all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent, or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! . We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma- jority of these precious lives, Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations.

The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children.” Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: “Your Castoria is an ideal. medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advo- cate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an exception for conditions which arise in the care of children.” Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: “Your Castoria holds the~ esteem of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprie- tary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and chil- dren. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments." Dr. H. F.
