Pennsylvania  Lime  Law :  Legal  Definition 
of  Lime 
Section  2.  For  the  purpose  of  this 
act,  the  materials  named  in  the  foregoing 
Section  are  defined  as  follows: 
(11  Limestone  is  the  roclt  commonly 
known  by  that  name,  and  consisting 
chiefly  of  calcium  carbonate,  or  of  said 
carbonate  with  a  smaller  molecular  pro¬ 
portion  of  magnesium  carbonate. 
(21  Pulverized  limestone  is  limestone 
reduced  by  mechanical  means  to  a  fine 
powder. 
(31  Artificial  carbonate  of  lime  is  car¬ 
bonate  of  lime  artificially  produced  by 
any  method  other  than  the  exposure  of 
lime,  ground  lime,  slaked-lime,  hydrated 
lime,  or  spraying  lime  to  the  action  of 
the  atmosphere. 
( 4 1  Lime  is  the  product  obtained  by 
the  complete  burning  of  limestone  in  a 
kiln,  and  capable  of  being  reduced  by 
slaking  to  a  fine  powder. 
(51  Ground  lime  is  lime  reduced  to  a 
fine  powder  by  grinding. 
(01  Spraying  lime  is  lime  of  high 
purity,  containing  not  less  than  ninety- 
three  per  centum  of  calcium  oxide  and 
not  more  than  five  per  centum  of  mag¬ 
nesium  oxide,  not  more  than  five  per 
centum  carbon  dioxide,  nor  more  than 
five  per  centum  of  acid  insoluble  mat¬ 
ters.  iron  and  aluminum  oxides,  collect¬ 
ively. 
(71  Slaked-lime  is  the  dry  finely 
divided  product  obtained  by  the  addi¬ 
tion  of  water  to  lime. 
(8)  Hydrated  lime  is  slaked-lime  pre¬ 
pared  by  the  aid  of  stirring,  or  of  stir¬ 
ring.  grinding,  and  screening  machinery, 
and  is  free  from  hard  lumps. 
(0)  Hydrated  spraying  lime  is  dry 
finely  divided  hydrated  lime  of  purity 
not  less,  after  taking  the  water  of  hydra¬ 
tion  into  account,  than  that  herein  re¬ 
quired  in  the  case  of  spraying  lime,  and 
of  such  fineness  that  all  shall  pass  a 
standard  sieve  of  one  hundred  meshes  to 
the  inch. 
(10)  Air-slaked  lime  is  the  more  or 
less  finely  divided  product  obtained  when 
lime,  slaked-lime.  hydrated  lime,  or  spray¬ 
ing  lime  is  exposed  for  a  considerable 
time  to  tin*  action  of  the  air. 
(11)  Marl  is  day  highly  charged  with 
carbonate  of  lime.  Shell  marl  is  marl  in 
which  the  carbonate  of  lime  is  present 
chiefly  in  the  form  of  molluscan  shells. 
(12)  Gypsum,  or  land-plaster,  is  the 
finely  divided  mineral,  commonly  known 
by  that  name,  and  consisting  chiefly  of 
calcium  sulphate. 
(13)  Kiln-slake  is  refuse  lime  mixed 
with  ashes  and  “core,”  or  imperfectly 
burned  limestone. 
(1  I)  Gas-house  lime  is  spent  lime  that 
has  been  used  as  a  purifier  in  the  manu¬ 
facture  of  illuminating  gas. 
(15)  Tanner’s  lime  is  spent  lime  that 
lias  been  used  in  the  curing  of  hides. 
Fighting  Cutworms 
Every  year  at  this  time  we  have  doz¬ 
ens  of  hurried  calls  for  information  about 
fighting  cutworms.  As  the  coni  begins 
to  grow  the  cutworm  gets  busy.  About 
the  only  way  now  to  fight  this  pest  is 
to  use  the  poison  bait  which  is  made 
about  as  follows:  Take  50  lbs.  of  wheat 
bran,  two  lbs.  of  Paris  green  and  six 
lemons  or  oranges  finely  chopped.  Mix 
the  whole  thing  together  thoroughly,  and 
add  low-grade  molasses  until  you  have  a 
stiff  dough.  You  may  use  middlings  or 
Alfalfa  meal  in  place  of  the  bran  if 
desired.  This  bait  is  distributed  through 
the  field  or  garden  in  Tittle  lumps.  Tt  is 
very  attractive  to  the  cutworms.  They 
will  eat  it,  and  the  Paris  green  will  do 
the  rest.  Sometimes  a  garden  will  be 
located  close  to  a  piece  of  grass  land 
badly  infested  by  the  cutworms.  A  nar¬ 
row  hand  of  this  poisoned  bait  scattered 
around  the  edge  of  the  garden  will  often 
kill  most  of  the  worms  before  they  can  get 
at  the  crop.  Of  course  the  poultry  must 
be  kept  enclosed  while  this  bait,  is  being 
used,  and  wild  birds  are  often  killed  by 
it.  but  this  method  is  about  the  only  one 
for  practically  denuing  out  the  cut¬ 
worms. 
A  Chicago  man  was  telling  some  weird 
stories  of  the  stockyards  and  he  men¬ 
tioned  an  instance  of  a  man’s  dropping 
(Id  feet  from  the  window  of  an  abattoir 
without  being  in  the  least  injured. 
“What  !”  was  the  indignant  protest  of  a 
hearer.  “Perhaps,”  said  the  narrator, 
calmly,  “I  should  add  that  they  were 
pigs’  feet.” — Credit  Lost.  1 
The  World’s  Cham 
What  Car  Shall  I  B 
LET  us  give  you  a  suggestion.  Buy  the  car  that  has  the 
best  reputation  for  service  in  your  city  or  town  or  county. 
You  should  see  that  for  your  investment  you  secure — 
not  merely  a  motor  car — but  motoring.  We  are  less  anxious 
to  make  you  a  Maxwell  owner  than  to  make  you  and  keep 
you  a  satisfied  motorist. 
By  service  we  do  not  mean  merely  the  serviceability 
of  the  car  you  buy — the  soundness  of  design,  the  excellence 
of  materials  and  workmanship,  the  sturdiness  and  willing¬ 
ness  and  dependability  of  the  car.  True,  these  are  vastly 
important  things. 
(S,\ 
But  still  more  important  is  the  Company  hack  of  the  car. 
Still  more  important  are  the  company’s  local  representatives 
who  sell  you  the  car  and  whom  the  company  must  hold 
responsible  to  fulfill  its  just  obligations  and  keep  its  pledge 
with  you. 
Buy  the  car,  then,  which  embodies  Character  as  well  as 
Reputation.  For  reputation  is  what  people  think  of  you, 
while  character  is  what  you  really  are. 
Buy  that  car  which  carries  with  it  an  actual  guarantee 
of  continuous,  care-free,  economical  motoring.  In  fact,  select 
your  company  before  you  select  your  car.  Buy  motoring. 
And  in  just  so  far  as  The  Maxwell  Motor  Company,  after 
you  have  made  such  an  investigation,  comes  up  to  these 
standards  and  survives  these  tests,  we  shall  urge  you  to  buy 
a  Maxwell  Motor  Car.
