LIMING THE SOIL.
Beat Cure For So Called "Sour" and
"Worn Out" Ground,
By H. B. HITE,
Chemist of the Weet Virginia agricultural
experiment station.
It .now seems to be quite generally
understood that, many of our so called
"sour" and "woruout" soils may be
greatly improved by intelligent appli-
cations of lime. ,Lime may affect the
fertility of the soil lu several different
ways. all of which are interrelated and
a consideration of which is nececssary
• to a proper understanding of its effect
in correctingso called "acidity" and
building up so. called "wornout" soils.
Thus lime may (1) improve the soil
texture, (2) favor the growth of grass.
and clover, (3) encourage the develop-
ment of beneficent bacteria, (4) aid in

If there is any pruning to be dune in

the orchard Is pruned look after the

large limbs of the trees of the lawn are
diseased or in a partially dying condi-
tIon they should be sawed orf close 'up

implements for getting the worms out
from the base of a peach tree.
If there are any large cavities In the
trunks of the shade trees about the
lawn they should be treated at once.
A decayed place in the trunk of a tree
may be treated very much the same
way the dentist fills the cavity in a
tooth. The decayed wood of the cavi-
ty is first chiseled out then the cavity
is painted with coal tar. creosote or
some good wood preservative. Follow-
ing this the cavity is tilled with sand
and cement mortar. A very good pro-
portion to use is two parts of sand to
one part of cement. If the cavity is
very large pieces of broken stone may
be used in the mortar to help fill np.
If the work is well done the tree will
often grow sufficiently to almost cover
the entire cement filling, A tree 1s not
entirely unlike an animal—its life may

able to the plant and (6) correct the
acidity of the soil. For a proper un-
derstanding of the use of lime iu cor-
recting acidity and Increasing soil ler.
ditty these factors must be considered.
Fresh burned lime may be distrib-
uted over the field In small piles cov-
ered with earth, to be spread with
shovel after the lumps have crumbled
to pieces. Any other forth of lime may
be applied with a manure spreader,
preferably with a lime hood. Burned
lime crushed and screened may be ap-
plied with a drill. A good lime spread-
er does the work rapidly and well.
Lime should nut be plowed under. but
should be thoroughly and promptly
mixed with the soil, preferably tvitli a
Barrow.
The average sour soil examined at
this station would require (in round
ntlnlbet5) two tons of burned lime er
three tons of hydrated lime or four
tons of air slaked lime or ground lime-
stone to correct acidity in one acre to
the depth of three feet. 1f the soil Is
distinctly acid It will hardly be worth
while to apply less than a ton of burn-
ed lime or its equivalent. Several such
applications may be necessary, but
once al normal supply is provided it
should not be necessary to apply very
much lime, and it will not be necessary
to do so if close rotations are the rule.

Algerian Almost Odorless Onion May
Be Valuable In America.
Allium triquetrum, one of the onion
tribe. a native of southern Europe and
common on the coast of AIgerla, gives
evidence of being of considerable value
as a vegetable. The plants are raised
from seed or from the bulbs,

planted deeply in good soil produce
large plants, the underground portion
of which are white, tender and succu-

vegetable with almost no odor of
onion. This may prove a valuable
vegetable for growing In our southern
states. only actual, tests will prove
what it may do in the north. The ex-

THE BEGINNING

in the care with which the milk is

It is not long ago that a neighbor
told me flint a farmer of our neigh-

Social. Conditions
No matter what your station in life or
where you live, a certain amount of
your time must be spent in pleasure to make
life worth the living, and to obtain that pleasure
you go to town or to your neighbors - especially
is this true when living in the country.
Good Roads enable you to get into townor to
your neighbors quicker, more often and with-
out you or your horses or vehicles being covered
with mud, and without regard to weather con-
®
,ditions or season. They enable your family
physician to get to you quickly in times of illness. They
enable your children to 'foot it" to school every school -
day.. They keep your boys and girls on the,tarm by giving
them better conditions generally.
