BURNING LIME ON THE FARM
\ —--
Ordinarily a 8imple Process Business
Has Grown and Developed Rap- •
Idly in Late Years.
While the burning of lime is ordi-
narily a simple process, the business
has grown and developed so much in
recent years that large plants with
complex machinery capable of produc-
ing four tnd one-half to five pounds of
lime, from one pound of fuel have al-
most entirely superseded the old kilns
so common In limestone countries.
. In olden times before the discovery
of the full value of coal,'good lime
was burned by means of wood alone.
In this section It Is difficult, If not im-
possible, to find any one who has
burned a kiln of lime without the
The future will see less land esti-
vated by. each individual, but more
stuff made to grow ontjmt lend. This
is/ the essence oj successful agricul-
ture.
Dual-Purpose Cow.
Lulu, a * short-horn cow owned1 by
the Missouri experiment station, bad
a record of 12,341 pounds of milk and
605.6 pounds of butter in one year.
•This record was made on a compara-
tively low grain ration, and the per-
formance indicates the possibilities of
the shorthorns as dual-purpose cows.
Humus in }ne Soil.
Huraua has been called the “bread
of plants” and the term sterns very

circular hole is dug, the lowey/part of
which is in the shape of an inverted
cone, as shown in cut. This whole must
f>e walled up and lined with mica schist
or other fire-resisting stone.
About two feet from the bottom, a
set of iron grates, g, are so placed
that the support, 1, under the center
can be knocked out when the kiln has
been “burned off” and the lime is to
be drawn. On top of this grate an
arch of limestone is built to form a
furnace into which the wood is placed.
Home-Made Lime Kiln. ,
While this limestone arch is being
built it can be supported by any sort
of temporary staging while the kiln
is Ming filled. When ready to fire
this Waging can be taken out.
Oyer the top of the limestone arch
small pieces of limestone spalts are
placed which tends to hold the arch
in place. The, kiln is now filled with
alternate layers of stone and coal.
Usually twp feet of stone to four or
five inches of pea or chestnut coal or a
good coarse soft coal. The kiln Is now
fired and the firing must be done for
a period varying somewhat on the
lightness of the ityln, its size, etc., utu-.
ajly about 72 hours. ^

GENERAL farm notes.
m
The growing of cow-peas greatly
improves the soil.
It requires no cash outlay to treat
the dairy stock kindly.
The pig houses should be put in
good condition for the winter.
Turpentine is effective in relieving
hones of the long round worms that
inhabit the small Intestines.
Defective points are more easy of
reproduction than more desirable
properties.
Scant rations of pure food are much
better than lavish rations and poor
provender.
The silo Is slovenly but inevitably
winning In favor; the silo'is a cheap-
er way.
More cow-peas and peanuts should
be planted next spring and summer
than have been planted in past
years.
Cottonseed meal should not be fed
to the chickens in large quantities, as
It has a tendency to constipate the
fowls.
Dairy cows should be fed a large
amount ef protein; the greater the
amount of protein in the”'ration; the
greater will be the milk flow.
When feeding the calf by hand, feed
often and In small amounts. During
the first week three feeds each ,Jday
should be given, and even five feeds
each day would be better.
Breeding fancy poultry is a fide art,
and when followed economically
should pay fully da well as the ordi-
nary salaried positions.
If some oi the profit of the farni
does not .come from the horses, it is
largely the owner’s fault, and should
be remedied. The Best remedy is to
breed a better class of horseb and
sorbing water is eight times greater
in a humus soil than in a soil without
humus.”
ANGUMOIS GRAIN MOTH PEST

Fields and Has Been Noticed in

ccrealella t)liv., Is an European pest
which is frequently destructive to

Badly-infested barns or bins should be
cleaned In early spring, the scattering
grain led to the chickens, and value-
less debris burtied, so far as possible,
in order to prevent the moths from
