It is difficult to determine just
how frequent liming should bo
practiced. .Much depends upon
the characli r of the soil, the crops
to be grown and the order of their
succession and tho number of
years given to tho rotation off
crops. As a rule from half a ,tou
to one and a half tons of lime per
acre applied every live or sij; years
is sufficient. It would ho safe to
apply two or three tons on every
acid soils which have been seeded
with tho intention of allowing the
land to remain in grass for several
years.
Caustic or slacked lime should bo
applied in autumn, particularly on
light sandy soils and where plants
arc to lie giowu which arc liltle
helped by li«ie. Applied in the
spring it not only injures plants
directly, but also indirectly by
rendering the physical condition
,0': the soil unfavorable. It may
also make ihe soil so alkaline as
to interfere with tho activity of
tho organisms which transforms
ammonia into nitrates which is
readily assimilated by plants.
This iujury cannot be permanent
as the carbonic acid in the soil
changes f lie .caustic lime auto the
carbonate form and thereby great
ly reduces tho alkalinity of the
soil.
Do not apply lime to the land
and then turn it under. Lime has a
tendency to work downward in
the soil and if plowed under it
would soon be beyond the reach of
The seeding roots of most plants.
A better way would he to scatter
it on freshly plowed land and har
row it in. It should ho harrowed
immediately after it is scattered on
I the land to prevent its taking up
water which would causo it to
cake or form a mortar, rendering
it difficult to mix very thoroughly
in the soil.
Caustic lime made by the burn
ing of limestone is the most econ
omical form to purchase, but gyp-
suno jfland plaster), marl and phos
phate of lime is often used. A
ton of limestone will produce
about 1200 pounds of caustic lime;
hence it is economy to burn the
lime near where the stones are
quarried.
‘Gypsum is a combination of
dime with sulphuric acid and wit'
ter. When gypsum is heated it
looses its water and is converted
into plastor of paris which :s
much used for industrial pur*,
poses. Plastor of paris is not so
economical as tho caustic lime. It
contains only about one-third as
much lime and usually costs more
per ton. It is better for renova
ting “black alkali” soils in arid
regions than slacked lime,
Phosphate of lime is valuable
both for the lime and phosphoric
acid which it contains. It is the
well-known South Carolina, Flori
da and Tennessee phosphate rock,
but the best grades of phosphate
rocks contain small amounts of
carbonate of lime,
Uoleached wood ashes contain
about BO per cent of lime, 7 per
cent potash and 1 to 2 per cent of
phosphoric acid. Leached ashes
contain more limo but only about
1 per cent, of potash. Coal ashoe
have no value as a fertilizer.

at Fort Wune, Ind., tho other

A mugi-trato ii) Ilarleqi court,
New York City, uttqred a very
significant statement -tiho ,other
day when lie said-:
“Yesterday I lmd before me
thirty-five hoy prisoners. Thirty-
three of them were confirmed ci
garette smokers. Today, from a
reliable source, I have made the
gruesom discovery that two of tihe
largest cigarette manufacturers in
this country soak their product
in ft weak solution of,opium.”
If the day covered eight hours
in business, the court was kept
busy with this hord of young boys
all the time,, and thirty-three were
confirmed cigarette.smokers.
It has been understood for a
considerable time Unit, some ci-
1
kgarettes and some brands of snuff
had “dope” qualities. Doubtless
, this insures there popularity with
I those who enjoy the doped artie*
' les.
! Opium is like whisky, it. creates
a growing appetite, grows with
1 what it foods upon. The cigarette
; smoker enjoys the dope sensation
| and after a time he is as craving
: for the sensation as ho is for the
| taste and smell of tobacco.
Never a day passes that some
murder, 'hotuic,ide or .trouble .with
police is not chronicled. How
much is duo to doped tobacco
I which is used no one can tell, of
|
I course, but opium is a true ally of
j bad whisky, and its victims are
j generally addicted to tho other
voice.
1 The history of cigarette using
i by young boys would be a start
ling revelation to many of their
mothers if they understood the
alarming proportions to which it
has grown in this country. It is
a deadly habit in the most cases,
and when the cigarettes are steeped
in a dope drug to drown the sen
ses of the user tho crime is diabol
ical.—Ex.

“It is an ill wind that blows no
good” to the man who has the
advertising instinct. The other
' day in New York a young hus-
j band attacked a passenger on a
! street car whom he accused of
making googoo eyes at his wife.
A prominent candy manufacturer
(who shall be nameless here) fol
lowed the young man to the sta
tion house and went on his bond,
although, a stranger, because he
admired the way he had defended
his wife. Of course tho candy
man’s name got in all tho papers
with the story of his offering to
put up his factory, worth $30,000,
as security fur lue young hue-
band’s appoaruuee.
On Tuesday last two men got
off the U o’clock train. They went
to the Ordinary’s office. They
were F. M. Hogg and J. W. Bry
ant, of Bessemer, Ala. Bryant,
who was reared here, wauted to
marry Hogg's daughter, Hogg
demanded a certificate .that he had
not been .maiyried before, and they
came all the way from Bessemer
to find out the facts about him.
The Ordinary showed them Ids
books, disclosing the fact that no
license had been issued in Cobb.
One or two parties told Hogg that
as far as known to them Bryant
was all right. dicing satisfied,
then went to the depot to hike the
11 o’clock train back to Atlanta.
They sat down in Anderson’s
stable. Meantime Simp Jackson
learned they were here and knew
something of interest to them.
He told the sheriff to find them.
He went to find them himself. lie
found them at the stable and in
vited Bryant to remain iu the city
at the county’s expense.
Bryant had skipped his bond
here some time ago and Jackson
was on it. Having placed Bryant
in ji.il, Jackson told Hogg his
record. He had a wife and child
in Canton, haying married to get
out of jail.
Hogg, who seemed to he a nice
man, returned to Bessemer to tell
his daughter to change hor plans.

Profit In Early Tomatoes.
1
Growing and marketing toma-
! toes lie .an important branch of
1 farming on The garden and truck
! farms about Providence. The
soil of the greater part of the
county is suitable for their cul-
I tore, and in some portions excep-
' tionally early ones are produced.
; The soil is in a large part of the
towns bordering upon the city a
light sandy loam, such as is just
right for early forcing crops, and
this hoips the tomato grower.
Plants started in hotbeds will
bear as early as the middle of July
in good season, and at that time
fabulous prices are received for
the fruit. Sometimes, as during
I the past season, tho early figure is
as high as $5 a bushel, and the
tomatoes that are raised early are
not of surprisingly good quality.
Two dollars to $3 is a common
price for early fruit, and it will
drop sometimes in two weeks to
about $1. This year the season
was backward aiuLtomotoes were
late.—American Cultivator.
