*\r( ..-»..\-â€"-~.--.. Apply Lima in the Fall. XI‘ 13 a son. Exmcusn AND nus 15 run Tun: TO USE IT. The best period of the year for the application of lime to the soil is in the fall. Lime is a plant food and is essen- tial, and while it exists to a greater or less extent in all soils, yet it. proves beneficial on both heavy and light lands. assisting to render heavy soils lighter and light soils heavier. It does not take the place of phosphates, nor can it be substituted for wood ashes, which contain potash, but it is capable of en~ abling plants to derive both potash and phosphoric acid from the soil by in- ducing chemical processes by which the insoluble matter of the soil is changed in composition, thereby becoming of a condition which permits of the use of such foods by plants. The small cost of lime, and its lasting effects in the soil, should stimulate farmers to use it more liberally than is done, and as it benefits nearly all kinds of crops and injures no soils, its use is one that results in bene- fit, and especially when applied on soils intended for crops that have an abun- dance of lime in their composition. The tendency of lime is to work down into the soil, every rain carrying it deeper. Lime that is recently soaked is a hydrate, and is easily diffused by the rains, but after exposure in the soil it reverts to its original condition of carbonate, being then again insoluble. During these changes, when losing its characteristics as a hydrate to become a carbonate, it compels other substances in the soil to change their forms also. When stone lime is burnt, in order to produce lime, the carbonic acid is driven OE and lime is the result. When the limo absorbs moisture from the air (air-slacking) it combines chemically with the water, forming a hydrate. In this condition it is applied to the soil. But the limo will not remain a hydrate, preferring to again become a carbonate, .and it is this desire (or aflinity) to com- bine with carbonic acid that prompts it to force the chemical changes in the soil which release plant food existing in the soil, but which plants cannot reduce. It requires quite a time for lime to complete its work in the soil. Applied in the fall it will, with the aid of the frost, have the land in excellent condi- tion in spring, especially if the lime is broadcasted over the surface of the soil after a green crop has been turned under. It is more serviceable when used in connection with green manurial crops than under any other conditions. On light, sandy soils it always gives excellent results, permitting of the :growing of clover on soils that usually give but small crops, and on heavy soils the land is made more friable and ten- acious. Some farmers apply lime once in three or four years. It is better to apply forty bushels per acre in the fall .and ten bushels every year thereafter than to omit it at any time, as the most benefit from lime is when it is in the condition of a hydrate. o- All Around the Farm. Professor L. H. Bailey says, at the present rate of tree planting, the North- ern half of Western New York will be a continuous orchard by the middle of '.the coming century. All breeds of cattle were scrubs in the beginning. By care and good feed- ing they were brought up to their pres- -cnt value. If you have scrub cows, 3'bring them up in the same way. According to the census the non-pro. downs of food are increasing five times as fast as the producers. Theoretically. this will soon make us hustle to feed «ourselves. Despite the discouragement, the wise farmer should get ready for the coming demand by bringing his land to the very highest state of pro- .ductit'enetss. No animal fits in so well with the cow as the beg, for no animal is so well adapted to utilize the byproducts of the dairy. Where selling milk is the only object ofthe dairyman, there is no need to keep anything: except cows. but where making butter is the aim, there is more or less skim milk and butter- milk which must be utilised some way. The farmers of the whole country are awake to the fact that there is profitin the production of poultrv and eggs. The full-blooded fowl is taking the place of the inbred mongrel. and there is no stock on the farm that can give greater satisfaction or quicker re- aurns. Ivory farmer should build a good hen house, and no more allow his hens to roam at large than his horses and cows. They will respond as quick- ly to warmth and feed. N-vvcr allow :anytbicgtc frighten them. Their house being their home they will go to it, and you can always control them. Have a yard. Hens will lay just as well when worded. provided they have proper feed, grit, etc, and you do not lose the eggs or need to feel uncertain as to their on“! u uncut: mars.

Sunday School- ” Well, Then I’m Yourn Mk}. ’3' They stood in the moonlight. uodera inrge, spreading elm. The she stood near a corner. and its broad branehm completely hid the window of a second- stury room in the corner house. The neathvr was exceedingly warm, and the windows were all open. The moon was up, and it was a b.-nutilul, balmy, hun- drcd-and ten-iu-the shade sort of an evening. They came along on the side- walk and stopped under the large elm tree. It was very late, and the porches in the lici_'hburllond were all deserted. l‘ht-y stood under the elm tree and tuned up against lie fence. They were talking vcry t-nrncstly. The youth was speaking of the way that the whole world would be a blank to him without her beside him. and how glorious would be everything it she would only consent to become his wile. “ George." said she tenderly,“ George. will you allers love me in this way? Won’t you ever git sick of me and go to lovin' somebody else ? " “ No. Mary. I won't never love no- body else but you." “ Well, then I'm yourn," she or:- claimed. and there was a noise of a five- cent-crackcr, as they fell into each other’s arms. Pretty soon she straightâ€" ened up and stood a few feet away front hint, eyeing him intently. Then she said : “ George, are you sure you'll allers love me ?" George protested that would. " Well, then I’m yours l " said the maiden, and there was another embrace. After a moment she backed away and said, “ George, there’s lots purtier'n I be, and don’t you think that some day you'll love somebody else mor’u you do me ? " George protested vehemently that he never would. “ Well, then I'm youth 1 ” she said, emphatically, and time was another tableau. Pretty soon she stepped back and said, “George, I don’t s'pose I'll allers be as purty as I be now. When I get old there’ll be wrinkles on my forehead, Gem-go, and maybe I‘ll look real ugly. Do you s‘pose that you‘ll love me then just the some, George ? ” His solemn protestations were re- newed. “ Well, then I’m yourn l " said the maiden. Then followed another explo- sion,followed by a grizzly bear embrace. In a moment she was struck with on- other thought. Her soul was harassed with another doubt. “ George," said she, “ when I get old, I s‘pect I'll look awful. ’I‘herc‘ll be wrinkles on my fore’d and maybe I won't have no hair, an’ I‘ll have ter Wear store hair, George, an’ switches. Do you think you will love me then, George ? " George answered that he would. “ Well, then I’m yournl” she said with determination, and there was an- other very loud osculation and a tableau with blue lights. In a moment she said: “ George. Iâ€"- Iâ€"I don't know, but may be when I get old I may lose my teeth. And I think I’ll be very horrid, George. Just only think. There will be wrinkles on my fore’d, and I won’t have no hair, and won't have no teeth, and I'll have ter wear store hair and false teeth, andâ€"andâ€"” “ What’s the matter with a glass eye and wooden leg ? ” observed a bad wick- ed reporter, sitting at an upper window, by way of assisting the fair damsel. Then there was a tableau : A stifled scream, some profanity in a bass voice, and two persons moving down the street in a way that would have bankrupted a camel race. he always *0 Two Versions of a Vision. A young farmer who had great con- ceit, little discretion and scarcely any education, presented himself at a Pres- byterian conference and said he Wiollcd to be ordained as a preacher. “I ain't had any learnin’,” he said frankly, “but I reckon I’m called to preach. I've had a vision three nights runnin'; that’s why I’m here." “ What was your vision ? ” inquired one of the elders. ” Well," said the young man, “ i dreamt I see a big, round ring in the sky, and in the middle of it was two great lettersâ€"1’. C. I knew that meant Presbyterian Conference, and so here I am.” There was an uncomfortable pause, which was broken by an older who knew the young man, and was Well ae- quuinted with the pomrty of his family and the neglected condition of the form in which his father had taken such corn- mendablc pride. “ I haven't a gift at reading visions," said the old man gravely, as he rose from his seat, “ but l’d like to put it to my young friend whether he doesn't think those two letters may have stood for ‘ Plant Corn ? ' ” Fortunately this version was accepted by the applicant. 0-...
