Essential”: of Lime.
,The best period for the application of
lime is in the fall of the year. Lime is
essential to all soils. Though it does
not take the place of phosphates, nor
is it a substitute for wood ashes, yet
its small cost and lasting effects in
the soil should induce all agricultur—
_ ists in states which need such fertiliz-
ers to use it more freely than is gen-
. elally done. Fortunately, these soil
foods are not so urgently needed in
the westas in the middle and eastern
. states. The tendency of lime is to
work down into the soil, every rain
carrying it deeper. Lime that is 1e—
cently soaked becomes soluble, and is
easily difqued by the rains, but after
exposme in the soil it reverts to its
original conditiou as a carbonate, be-
coming then insoluble. Duringthese
changes it compels other substances in
the soil to change their forms also.
When stone lime is burned, in order
1 to produce lime, the carbonic acid is
dricen off, and lime is the result. When
the. lime absorbs moisture from the
,it combines chemically with water,
to ming a hydrate. In this condition
it is applied to the soil. But the lime
1.111 not remain a hydrate, preferring
to again become a carbonate, and it is
this desire or aflinity which prompts
it to force the chemical changes in the
soil, but which plants cannot produce.
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 ex-
cellent condition by spring, especially
if the lime is scattered broadcast over
the surface of the soil after a green
crop has been turned under. It is
more serviceable when used with green
manurialcrops than under any other
conditions. On light, sandy soils it al-
ways gives excellent results. Some
farmers apply lime once in every three
or feur years
bu. to the acre the first time and 10
bu. every year thereafter, than to omit
it at any time, as the most benefit
from lime is when it is a hyd1ate.—C.

Importance of Windbreaker.
Next to irrigation the most import-
ant topic for the consideration of farm-
ers is windbreaks. In Oneida county,
N. Y., there is an orchard of Red As-
trachans one—half of which has a wind-
break of arbor vitae hedge and the
~ other none. The protected part is in
perfect condition; the other part is
nearly- dead; not'a thoroughly sound
tree in it.. The crops show the same
difference. At another place there are
on- one side of the street hedges and. ‘
groups of evergreens, on the north and
west; on the other side is an open
sweep fer the wind. The protected
land ripens lima beans, Isabella grapes I
and is as good as a whole degree of
latitude warmer than the other. Our
serious trouble is not from cold, but
from cold drying.winds, and speedy
changes of temperature.
I recommend evergreen screens ev-
erywhere; not only hedges but screens
of trees, allowed to grow tall without
clipping. The arbor vitae is generally
best, hemlock in some localities. Nor-
Way spruce wants more room but is
valuable. The old plan of letting
trees grow up in fence lines was right.
Too much economy in clearing land is
a mistake; The proper-trees for wind-
breaks vary.) in difl‘erentparts of the
country, but this‘means of pro .ection
is very generally. useful .a—E. P. Powell,

{t._...:_"- Steel Country Roads.
, The steel country roads, with which
the United-._States Department of Ag-
riculture is now experimenting, will
practically be constructed as follows,
says Engineering News: The present
design calls for an inverted trough-
shaped steel rail, with a slightly: rais-
ed head on the inside, and eight-inch
tread and 7-16 inch thick. These rails
w0uld be bedded in gravel laid in well
drained trenches, and the rails would
be tied tOgether at the ends and in the
middle. 0n grades the rails would
be indented slightly to prevent the
" horse slipping on the rai's; the joints .
would be made stronger than the rail
to prevent "low, .jointa'.’ and. to pre-
vent, the formation of ruts alongside
the rails each joint would form a “re-
mount” for the wheels. ' The advan-
tage claimed. for these steel roads is
the reduction in traction from forty
pounds per ton on macadam to eight
pounds on the steel rails. The ma-
terial for the heavier class of roads
of this design will cost about $3,500
per mile in small quantities. The
amount of material required is less
than 100 tons per-:mile, and long lines
could probably be built for $2, 000 per'
mile. The lighter type of road only
requires fifty tons per mile, and‘ would
cost about $1, 000 per mile. These
prices are exclusive of grading and
track laying.

Full Report-oftho Case.
In every case of chronic nasal can:
tar-1h the lining membianes of the
nose are thickened and of a deep red
Color, while the superficial veins are
swollen and throbbing.- In nearly
c1ery case 'We may find patches of a.
glayish color, and 1n not a few there
is actual ulceration, with m01e or less
loss of substance. The secretion is
thick, tough, of a greenish character,
and when the desti. notion is very rapid,
ofa fetid odor. Large collections of
di ied secretion may be adherent to the
middle and sides of the nose. When
imflammation has existed a long time
and ulceration has taken place, puri-
form matter is secreted and drops into
the thloat. This is one of the most
dangerous features of the complaint,
and this matter often descends into the
stomach, causing frequent vomiting
and a. general derangement of health,
and finally ends in catamh of the
stomach.
As proof that this disease can be
easily and quickly cured, note the fol- -- ‘
lowing South N 01 walk testimony. John
H. Toothill, 29 Ann street, says: “I
have had the catarrh for some time and
have tried many remedies, but get

from anything else I ever have used.

fectually many of the most trouble-

Speech Restored by Fright.
Phillipsburg. N. J... Nov. 9.-—Samuel
Johnson, aged 11 years. son of David
Johnson, recovered his speech yester—
day through a fright. Three years ago
he was so frightened by the appear-
ance of a surgeon. who was to:operate
on him. that he screamed until utterly
worn out. Later it Was found he could
not speak or hear. His hearing re-
turned} but not his power of. speech.
Yesterdaymorning he went into the:
yard before it was light. He thought
he saw a ghost. and ran screaming into
the house. When calmed it was found
he could talk. He had been frightened
by a. rose bush covered with white
cloth to protect it from frost.
