Be­ sides being a show place'of historic interest to the stranger, they give rest and soothing at the noon hohr to many a weary worker in tho big buildings which surround them.' Not the least of their usefulness, however, in the opinion of a certain majestic Thomas cat, is that they afford a place wherein he tUay disport himself. He Is an or­ namental being of rich, golden hue, and he Is by no means Unaware of his beauty. With stately grace he stalks about tho premises, as one who is re­ sponsible for their proper upkeep, and gazes haughtily a t mere human Intru­ ders, When satisfied they are suffi­ ciently cowed to attempt no damago to his estate he mounts a timeworn sarcophagus and curls himself up for his. afternoon nap. His yellow coat, Snuggled in a nest of' windihg ivy, fairly Illumines the greenery and against the memorial slabs he presents the combination of gray and gold of which French couturleres are so fond.

Lite Fall It Best a* Winter Rain* Will Work it into *oi|- Spread «• Soon a* Air-Blacked, The latter part of the fall is the best time to Jim* the pasture, aa the winter rglfs and enow# will gradually work it into the soil. A medium, dressing, about 40 bushels or air-slacked lime spread to th* acre, is about the right quant Jy to use. One bushel of fresh­ ly-burnt lime, when air slacked, will make two bushels; SObushels of fresh­ ly burnt lime will cost six cents per bushel at the kiln, which is $1.30 per acre, not counting the hauling, This is an economical dressing for one acre of grass pasture. The lime should be spread aft soon, as it is air-slacked. The field should he run over with a sharp iron-tobtU harrow, and about tea ppuhde of a mixture of timothy, red top and blue ,grass sown to the acre. In the spring sow two pounds of red clover, one pound of white clover, and one pound of alsjtft cloversegd to the acre. The clover and grass will make a rapid growth in the spring If the land Is in good health, Lime sweet­ ens land; kill* out sorrel; rots up the vegetable matter; disintegrates the hard particles of clay and puts the ground in good ■ condition, lor plant growth. Ground limestone is now quite large­ ly used and has sqWadvantagea over burnt lime. Being ground very fine. It may he drilled in with the seed In any quantity. Ground limestone has a very.mild actlomOn the soil, and.is not as effective as burnt lime.' It is now recommended for'Ilght lands and for land that is to he sown in alfalfa. Two to three tons is sa il to he the proper dressing for one acre.. Prepared lime or agricultural lime Is made by adding Water tQ caustic lime out of contact with Mr, By this ,pro­ cess 56 pounds of caustic lime becomes 74 pounds of hydrate of lime. - HOW TQ~MAKE CORfiTsHELLER Few Scraps of Old "Lumber, Usually Found on Any Farm, Can Be Made of Good Service, ‘Where there Is but a email quantity of com-to be shelled ashollor can he made of a few Scraps of wood usually found on. a farm.

Two or, three strokes of the lever wilt remove, all the kernels from the cob. A box is provided and conveniently located on, one leg to catch the shelled com. . Buying Machinery. One thing that cum down"the profits on the farm is th© expense for new machinery.- Usually.■ these machines are necessities Jrat the first cost is always something of an Item, OARIMBN VM* F a r m N o t e s Keen tools save, time, labor and do most efficient work. The man with the silo Is not worry­ ing over winter feed. Anything that reduces the cost of maintenance increases the profit. As a general rule, potatoes should be planted 06 fresh ground each year. A 160-acre farm With a silo will pro­ duce a t much reveuue a* a 180-acre farm Without, Deep plowing Increases the soil’s water-holding power, also it* plant­ feeding power. ' The corn that shells off while husk­ ing can he saved It a coal shovel is used In unloading. It’s a shame to let a vast amount of feed go to waste each year by not using the com stalks. A sparagus is a h a rd y p lan t. I t does n o t need A W inter mulch to k eep it from being killed by freezing. More alfalfa means more home­ grown feed and smaller feed bills,' It naturally leads to better profits. Some people have gone so far as to claim that the com stalks in the silo are wdfth as much hs the ears in the crib, ■• . . * Secure an abundance of good, clean straw now, for bedding, thus insur­ ing the comfort of all animals during the winter months, A few gallons of paint would not be expensive, but if it were’ rightly applied It would add a great deal to the value of the place. Keeping any machine well oiled and in proper repair , not only increases efficiency, but decreases the amount of power required to rutt the; machine. The garden truck, which most farmers allow to WRste at thiB season of the year, can be turned into big profits by feeding them' to the hogs, cattle and poultry.
