J., there Is a business of not less than $30,000 a year thtit was started eight years ago by twol boys on a capital of exactly 87 cents. ;One of the two is still half owner f of the busmvss, and his present partner is a ypnng man who was his schoolmate when the business was Wlaunched. - ' A Jn the spring of 1899 William H. j,,jf Dodge and. Roy Farris, then lads of 1?, planned a canoeing trip for their approaching" vacation. The planning was easy and great fun, but how to V get the money, to Tarry out the plan i a problem!

Looking about, they noticed that there were plenty of fruit trees in and around Montclair, and that often the fruit was not half picked or not picked at all. Why not gather.it for the owners on shares, and sell their share? to a They made this proopsition I number of neighbors and farmers, and it was accepted,- They were to have , balf the crop for picking it. Then it occurred to one of .the boys That Jam would sell better than fresh fruit. But jam meant sugar 'and ; glasses, and these meant an investment of capital- .- They pooled their , visible assets, and the whole amount figured up Just 87 cents. But the boysvere not discouraged. FJlgir mothers agreed to give them the necessary glasses and to let them put The up the Jam In their kitcheqs. capital of the partnership was invest. ed in sugar. , f Then the boys got from their mothers friOndJTtheir best recipes for jams, and ( jellies, i and preserves.

All the receipts of the business I . "were put into' more sugar, and at the end of the season they figured up 88b , "t profits and a demand for more of the goods, The hext year the business increased greatly, several thousand glasses being soldh The boys had figured on earning their way through college with their work. Now they realized that while college was a preparation. for business, they had their business 4 . - light at hand if they folowed up their r ' su sa.

The A fame jfeir products spread, and theuSv4 Their boy friends as sales-nnito carry it further. .About this time young Farris was tailed south to help care for family interests, and young Dodge . business made a proposition to one of the salesmen, James Caider, Jr. If young Caider would sell orders equal to the year's business for 1902, between June 1 and December 1, 1903, he would share the business with him. Caider took hold, and in one month of the seven alloted earned his partnership. He sold 812.000 worth of goods in the seven months. Since that time the business has grown steadily. The factory employs about eighteen persons, constantly and in the rush season thirty or more. The products put up have grown from a few kinds of jams and jellies to forty-fou- r xarieties, including jams, marmalades, jellies, spiced fruits, pickles. and mince meat. The college ambitions of the original partners have given way to business, but the business in turn is helping a dozen young fellows earn their way through college. These are college men who sell the products in vacations, on commission, and each one earns from 8250 to $500 a season enough to make another year at college possible. rThen they Vr '' HISTORIC PLACE TO BE SOLD. The Stockton Sentinel. Highgate, London, Holly Lodge, Eng,, the lifelong summer house of will the late Baroness Burdett-Couttbe sold by auction on October 24 next. There are many historical associations about this beautiful old place, which stands in one of the finest private' parks still remaining in the suburb, where a century ago many of the merchant princes of London made their homes. Holly Lodge was built by the famous hanker, Thomas Coutts, that shrewd and respectable old gentleman who kept in his office at the Strand the money and the family secrets of half the English peerage. Mr. Coutts was married twice, his second wife being Harriet Melton, the actress, who after the death of the banker, who left her all his property, married the noble nonentity, the duke of St. Albans. On her own death In 1837 she bequeathed the whole of her vast wealth to the old bankers favor-it- s grandaughter.

The acidity or alkalinity of the soil may be tested by the use of blue litmus paper, which can be secured of any druggist. The litmus test may be made by moistening a portion of the soil so that it will stick together, and insm tingr the litmus paper in a rut tir.ide J dntf sml togef her conVpaettylsronnd , the paper. If within a half hour or less the litmus paper turns pink the need of lime is Indicated.' Where tests ate not made, and the soil has not been limed for years, it is much safer to lime than to run the risk of the alfalfa or other crops being killed out by the acidity of the soils The amount that should be applied varies with different soils, clay soils requiring a heavier application than sandy soilb. On clav soils which have not been limed in many years about one ton per acre should be applied, while soils in which the acidity has been partially corrected should receive a proportionate amount. On sandy or humus exhausted Boils it is not advisable to put on more than one thousand pounds at one time, for lime is an indirect feitilizer, and liberates plant food by hastening decomposition of the organic matter in the soil, and thus reduces its feitility. Clay soils are more retentive of plant food so that less Is lost by this decomposl tlon, and, furthermore, the clay soils are improved greatly In texture by the collection of the smaller particles of the soil into larger ones Oyster shell lime or stone lime Is generally used, though other substances, such as mail, may be used more economically, where they can be obtained on tlie .arm for the ex penso of digging. Tlie lime should be applied 011 the surface, and worked In with the surface soil, and it should be put on in as active a condition as possible. To do this the lime should be slaked with water, and as soon as slaked should be spread as evenly as possible. It may be applied with a shovel, or with the lime attachment which comes with fost manure spread ers. Ground stone lime, which has recently been put on the market, says the Journal of Agriculture, is a finely ground lime, which is easily distributed, and is thought to be better than the burnt lime, as it can be applied in the active state. It can be applied through the fertilizer attachment of the ordinary grain drill. :.f Y rf ABOUT THE FARM. Under no circumstances should any thing be added to milk to prevent it from souring.
