MAPLE GROVE PLANT FARM • Franklin, Viroinia

ami the same is true of Russian Brome 
grass. The Orchard grass, meadow fes¬ 
cue, Tall oat-grass and Western rye-grass 
are better cut in the early stage than 
later, as they quickly become woody, and 
so lose rapidly in palatability. This is 
especially trie of Orchard grass and 
Western rye-grass. EARLE w. gage. 
Death of George P. Hampton 
George P. Hampton, a prominent farm 
representative at Washington, died last 
week when about to start for the Pacific 
coast on a speaking tour. Mr. Hampton 
was well-known to farmers and members 
of Congress. He did a great work in 
shaping legislation and representing agri¬ 
culture. At his funeral brief addresses 
were made by Senator La Follette, Louis 
Post. Assistant Secretary of Labor, and 
other prominent men. Mr. Hampton is 
survived by a widow and daughter. It 
will be difficult to fill bis place. 
Burning Lime 
C. H. TT. wants to know bow to burn 
lime. I used to help my father burn 
lime in what we call an old-fashioned 
kiln. This had an arch at the base about 
3 ft. wide and 4 ft. high. Build an arch 
of limestone inside of kiln the same size 
as arch in kiln, and run to back wall of 
kiln. Commence by laying flat pieces of 
limestone and keep closing in until you 
get to top of arch in kiln, aud fill in with 
good-sized rock at first. Break rock 
smaller as you keep filling in, and then 
when you get to top use very small rock. 
Take wood where you cut lumber, top 
and limbs of trees; any soft wood is 
good. You do not need any coal. Burn 
about four days and nights. Keep a good 
fire all the time. Be sure to build your 
arch so it won’t tumble in. c. M. N. 
Warren, Me. 
Extracting Wild Honey from Broken 
Comb 
Place broken comb in a pail or pan, and 
with a heavy carving fork or stick stir 
and inash until all the honey cells are 
broken. Then place the whole mass in a 
salt, or sugar sack and hang up near the 
stove, where it is warm and convenient to 
place a dish underneath to catch the 
honey as it drains out through the sack. 
In 24 to 36 hours the honey will all he 
drained out, and the refuse can then be 
melted up as comb for wax. A little for¬ 
eign substance, such as rotten wood and 
leaves in it, will do no harm. The honey 
will drain out through the sack as clear 
as crystal. M. H. B.
