Reader:—Labor conditions last fall
prevented me from putting lime on
my wheat ground. Would it be peace
tieal to put lime on this spring, and
if sio in what •.form, .hydrated .or
ground limestone rock?
Answer:—Limo can be applied to
the ground nt any time during the
sensor when the crops are not grow-
ing. It will not Injure your wheat in
the least to broadcast line on top of it
as soon as the ground is dry enough
to drive on in spring. Apply either
hydrated line or ground limestone.
If your soil is a heavy clay, hydrated
lime will tenil to draw the particles
together so that it wild help the
mechanical condition of the soil if
you apply lime in that form. If,
however, it is an ordinary loam or
sandy soil t would strongly advise
applying ground limestone. Either
one corrects soil sourness, but hydrat-
ed or burnt lime has the additional
reaction on the mechanical structure
or clay soil.

P,. El.:—Aly potatoes show brown,
brut -tike flecks in the flesh and the
tubers turn black in cooking. What
caus,0 this and are they safe for

Answer:—From your description 1
cannot exactly determine what dis-
ease is et-reel:Mg your tubers since it
may be one of two or three things,
or it tatty be due to freezing, which
has #hc effect of turning the inner
part of the potato tuber black. By
all means 1 would advise you to avoid
using these potatoes for seed, Labor
is costly and preparation of land is
going to be high, therefore obtain
seed which you lcnow is good, so that
your potato crop will have every
chance to snake a profit this year.
R. W.: --its caustic lime the same as
hydrated lime, and will they answer
the same purpose?
Answer:—Caustic !line is the sante
as hydrated lime, both being the
hydrate of calcium. Hydrated lime
serves the sante purpose as quick
lime in the preparation of Bordeaux
mixture. Of course, do not use hy-
drated lime which has been for a
long time open to the air, for the
hydratewill have changed to the
carbonate, which is not sufficiently
active.
J. F.:—We have some dry sandy
land that has been cropped until the
itunius is nearly used up and it is
difficult to get clover started and we
are thinking of growing some crop
to plow under to produce humus.
What would you advise trying, blue-
grass, or what we usually caul June
grass? Would you think it a serious
matter to kill tt when preparing land
ler other crops? What would be best
to sow?
Ansa em—Bluegrass or June grass
makes a thick sod, but takes consid-
erable time to accumulate much
humus. Why not sped your sandy
soil to sweet clover if you want to
add humus? . This makes very rapid
and extensive growth. To prepare
your sandy soil for it, apply about
J00 lbs, c,f Nine to the acre as soon
as spring opens. Work this into the
soil well by harrowing so that the
ground will be sweetened. Then, at
the time of seeding, apply about 300
lbs. to the acre of a fertilizer analye.-
ing 3 to 4 per cent. ammonia, 8 to 10
per cent. phosphoric acid, This should
give your crop a rapid, firm start.
When it has become established be
careful to cut the clover early if you
wish to use it for hay, otherwise it
will become vary woody. The sweet
clover makes an extensive root
growth which should add considerable
humus to the soil. If you are anxious
to use this soil for the growing of
other Drops two years hence, plow
under the sweet clover when it has
made a good growth, but be sure to
work it thoroughly into the soil.
The Farmer's Most Valuable Asset:
His Boys aril Girls
It is linea fur mire .farmers to
awaken to tine fact that farntd, like
some et the industrial corporations,
have two k nd; of stork—the "pre-
ferred" and the "eennuon." The owner
of the farm may so manage the busi-
ness that dividends on 'preferred"
stock --the good things of life that
add to the comfort and happiness of
his family—are reasonably certain.
But there is no known system of farm 1
management that will make "com-
mon" stock dividends absolutely cer-
tain. A severe storm may ruin the
crops, or disease destroy the animals
before they are ready Inc market. If
our farms pay only pre kind of divi-
dends let us make sure of some of the
good things of life that we ought to
be cashing in a5 we go along. The
far-nt is not altwayS a failure• if it fails
to pay bilge dividends on its "com-
mon' stock. It somehow appears that
farmers, in some instances, need to be
imprc'ared with a spirit that considers
the "preferred" stock dividends --the
ferr>•ily eonfert and happiness --more
than mere (toilers. The firms do not
pay now and probably never will pay
so largo dividends from a money
standard as some other kinds of.busi-
ewe. Their strong attraction is for
people who appreciate things other
than money. One of the first duties
of parents is to instill a love of these
other good tunings of life into the
subtle mind of 'boys and girls rather
than holding up the dollar as the
standard of life.
The finest young animals in the
world are the boys and girls, and it
is interesting to watch their develop-
ment. When we consider some of the
fine things clone by boys and girls in
the club way • of growing crops and
calves and pige when under proper
guidance, naturally the thought is
suggested that their interest in farm
life would be mora permanent if they
could have tho kindly counsel of par-
ents. If given encouragement to de-
velop along the right Bines and put
their personality into the little
things of farm life the chances aro
ten to one that they would not' think
Ed leaving the farm, Boys and girls
do nal always desert the farm and
go to cities and towns because the
social life and advantages in thd•doun-
try are not suffedently varied and
interesting, In too many instances
their parents are so !busily engaged
in endeavoring to make the "common"
stock of the farm pay dividends that
they overlook entirely the "preferred"
stock. It is probably due to this fact
more than all others that the major-
ity of desertions from the farm result.
While many writers have told us
how to feed, train and develop colts,
calves, pigs and lambs, and to care
for our fields, it would be very inter-
esting, indeed, if some of our practi-
cal laymen friends would write attd
tell us .how they have managed to
keep their• boys incl girls on the farm.
Some live articles that would appeal
to the high-spirited, red-blooded boys
and girls from eighteen to twenty-one
years of age, who !mow values and
are capable of putting such knowl-
edge into practical, every -day use. It
is easy to secure wishy-washy stories
of how Johnny and Sally have been
given runt calves and pigs, and who

son can tell hiss father his hopes,
fears, plans and ambitions without
fear of harsh reproval or unjust criti-
cism. Some farmers are too proud to
admit, even to their boys, that they
have not made a, success of their
,husiness, Naturally the boys think
they are being treated unfairly when
their father is practicing economy
which to thein savors of stinginess.
If the father has not made his 'farm
pay well, the boys will frequently
grasp the situation quickly, respect
the father the more for his toil and
his sacrifices, and together they face
the problem, Interest and helpful
co-operation between father and sons
is only possible when, there is com-
plete confidence. Tell your 'boy about
your business, make 'him the best pro-
position you can afford to make him,
and then if you fail to enlist his co-
operation it will not have been your
fault.
Deep Tiles Are Not Efficient.
Drains should not bo placed too far
below the ,surface of the ground.
Common observation shows this in
connection with tile drains intended
to remove surplus water from house
or barn cellars. Ordinarily these
drains must 'be laid comparatively
deep—about foto' or five feet below
die mime of the .ground. With aitch
deep drains water may stand on the
surface above them for a long thne
after a rails:.
This fact has been pointed out as
an indication that tile drainage in
the open fields may not be effective
in removing surplus water from the
soil; bent such a conclusion is wrong.
In fact, it is pointed out, this obser-
vation should teach a very practical
lesson in the proper method of install-
ing field drainage; that is, that drains
should not bo piueed too far below
the surface.
Of course, the proper depth will
vary with soil conditions, the kind of
tile, and the source of the water, but
in nearly all regions four feet will
be the proper depth,

out a program for herself, for it ,is first inside cover, write the names of
not enough to say in a general way:
"Now I will improve my mind and
do some reading." We must set our-
selves to certain tasks, plan a definite
amount of "work" for a definite per-
iod of time. A friend of mine read
one good, improving book every two
weeks, but I have in mind a better
plan than that. It is simply this: to
forma "book club."
About fifteen mins should get to-
gether. You can "organize" as muoh
or as little as you like. Then you
can buy thirty books so each one has
two at a time to read. These are
passed around in rotation, and two
weeks allowed for each one to' read
the two books, You can, if you wish,
confine yourself to novels, but more
varied reading is better. Then at the
end of the year you can auction the
books off at one of your homes, and
make the affair a kind of social
function. Thus for the price of two
books each will have read thirty.
Cover the books neatly with stout
brown paper. Divide the thirty books
in sets of two, one to be fiction, the
other something serious. Then label
them Set 1, Set 2, and so forth up to
Set 15. Put the name of the book
on the paper cover and for the first
set write: "Set 1, Vol, 1," and on the
salve book write the name of the
the club members, their addresses
and the dates when they should
change hooka.
If you start, say, April fifteenth,
the date of changing would be May
first, and so on through fifteen weeks.
Arrange the names so Mrs. Jones, for
instance, pasees her books to Mrs.
Smith, her nearest neighbor, When
you start, you at'bitrarily assign two
hooks to certain people. Two or three
of you will have to do most of this
work. If any further information is

_ . OBEDIENCE
The question of obedienee to the
lave of the home, and to the come
munity, confronts each individual.
Some pass it lightly by, giving it
little thought, and less observance,
but not so the thoughtful parent or
teacher to whom the care of children
is entrusted,
Obedience should underly the life
of each of us; it is essential to hap-
piness. Only as we learn to listen
and obey are we fitted to take our
rightful place in society. We must
obey the laws of nature if we would
be healthy, the laws of home and
community if we would be worthy
members of each group, and above
all, there must he obedience to the
moral law.
Since obedience is such an impor-
tant factor in each life, how can we
best teach it to the child without de-
stroying his individuality?
Many mothers admit their inability
to obtain obedience, and teachers are
often asked, "How do you nrnice him
obey, he does not mind me at all?"
A dreadful confession, but slime it is
made, let us try to help these mothers.
First, let us asic a few questions:
1—Do you govern your child by
love or by fear?
2—Are you honest with him?
3—Aro your demands reasonable
and do you explain why you make
certain requirements?
4—Do you talk indiscreetly before
your child and admit your inability
to control him??
5—Do you require prompt obedience
or do you tolerate disabedienee and
belated performance of duty?
These questions are ab involved in
obedience.
In dealing with children we should
give the yeast ns for ou • r conduct, if
possible. Of course there are some
things which cannot be explained and
we should frankly admit it; there are
others which we cannot explain to
young childre;t and we should prom-
ise to do so when they are older.
A spiritual question arose ane day
in a Sunday School class which was
rather complex to explain to little
children. The teacher left the prob-
lem and asked these questions:
"How did God make the great oak
tree come out of a tiny acorn? Do
you see how He did it? Did He really
do it?"
There was no doubt about the let-
ter, for the children had often pulled
up the tiny oaks and found the acorn
from which the rout and tree had
sprouted.
"Well," said the teacher, "there are
some things we know are true, but
we can't explain thein, can we?"
A few Sundays later another prob-
lem arose in one of the hymns. The
teacher made the best explanation
possible, then added, "Some things
venienees for the welfare and bappi- are hard to explain, aren't they?"
Hess ofe the whale fancily.
Lighting systems that are worth
while can be secured for a moderate
cost. Nobody can afford to neglect
this matter.

It was natural, therefore, that the
exiled Hebrews, while not forgetting
their owuo God, should look with toler-

even share in its worship. In this, of
