I an - ingenious Austrian grape grower
1 -was- induced to exactly reverse ' the
I American practice. An account of. his
experiment is reported . by United
States Consul Stephan at Annaberg.,
The Austrian owned extensive . vine
yards situated on the southern slopes
of the mountains, in a locality often
visited by destructive .hailstorms. At
first he tried galvanized w ire, and he
decided to install a battery and test the
plan of causing explosions to drive off
the hailstorms. He erected six stations
on prominent mountain summits com
manding a territory about two miles
in extent. Each station sheltered ten
mortars .- and' a . corps of volunteers
handled them. The practical ' test is
thus described: -
...Threatening black clouds made their
appearance - on the summits' of .the
Backer mountains. At a given signal
all the mortars were fired off and the
continuous detonations in a few mo
ments caused a -sudden reaction in the
movements of the clouds. The .cloud
wall opened up funnel-like; the mouth
of the. funnel began to rise in the form
of consecutive lings, expanding gradu
ally until all the clouds scattered and
entirely disappeared. No hail nor sud
den downpour of rain fell. The same
experience was gone through six times
last summer, and without a single ex
ception proved a successful preventive.

LIME ON THE FARM.
Its
Effect on' the Soil Should
B
Studied More Closely.
Lime ia-a much, .used, and very often
at the same. time, a much abused ma
terial on the farm. It has a very im
portant role to play, and, if handled
in. the proper manner, is a valuable aid
to the farmer.. There aremany who
use this "material- again and again
with a mistaken notion as to its true
functions in the soil. In time, how
ever, their experience teaches them the
true place of lime in agriculture, but
often their lands have been almost
exhausted before they gain their wis
dom. While lime has a value as a
plant food, yet its greatest worth oil
the farm is due to its physical effect
on the sou itself. It is very seldom
that a soil does not contain a. sufficient
quantity of lime to furnish this ingre-
J dient as plant food pure and simple.
Bjiefly described, the actions of lime
are as follows: If applied on a sandy
j soil it fills up the openings, makes the
j particles adhere closer, causes them
to retain moisture better, to absorb
, . j..s a a
more at night. On Tilay" soils it sepa
rates the particles, making the soil
more porous, thus easier or tne pas--
sa&e of water and air, and therefore
makes the soil warmer and easier to
work. Lime also hastens the decay of
vegetable matter in the soil, which of
course renders the nitrogen more avail-
able. If j soil is sour, an application
lime v11 sweeten it. If a green
"crop is plowed under, an application of
lime will prevent the soil from becom-
ing acid. Thero is one effect of lime
that has no doubt freqmently been no-
tlced. although wrone conclusions have
been drawn from it. It has often been
j experienced .that an application of
. lime proves very beneficial to clovers of
.U M"3'.. It was formerly thought
tft tac nme eK was me oniy xer-
tilizer needed for the clover; it is now
known, however," that the beneficial ac-
tion of tho lime upon clover is due to
the fact that the lime libera tea other
nlant food in the soil, notably potash.
which is of so much importance in sue-
ces&ful clover culture. ' It will be sen.
however, that the continued applica
tion of lime along would soon cause the
soil to become exhausted of its natu
ral supply, not only of potash-, but also
of phosphoric acid, and in time the
land would become clover sick, which is
a. condition often, met with.-Farmers'
