Origin of Scotland Motto and Thistle Legend
The Danes in Scotland long considered attacking at night cowardly. A night raid near a camp ended when a Danish foot trod on a thistle, waking the Scots and causing heavy Danish losses. Hence the thistle as Scotland’s emblem and the motto Nemo me impune lacessit. Additionally, an ad-like fragment promotes Catarrh Cure by F J Cheney Co, with testimonials and a bold guarantee, urging readers to request details.

Wire Reel Simplifies Unstringing Fence Wire Device
A reader describes a simple wire unstringer for farm use. Built from two 2x6 boards nine inches long, along with smaller pieces, the device fits in a wagon box behind the endgate. An old fork handle serves to thread the spool. The setup allows easy turning of corners without brake or effort.
Liming Soils and Lime Application Guidelines
The acidity of soil can be tested with blue litmus paper and a moist soil sample. If the paper turns pink within half an hour, liming is needed. Clay soils may require about one ton per acre if unlimed for years. sandy or humus depleted soils should not exceed a thousand pounds at a time. Lime speeds organic matter decomposition and can improve soil texture, with oyster shell or stone lime commonly used and slaked before even distribution. Ground stone lime is newly marketed and may be easier to apply than burnt lime, operable through standard equipment.
Fall Plowing Pays for Spring Seeding
A correspondent from Orange Judd Farmer argues fall plowing gives soil a better structure for spring crops. Deep autumn plowing adds humus from green manure and reduces soil compaction, improving germination and stand quality before hot dry months. Spring plowing tends to be wetter, harder to handle, and can ruin land if done when soil is too wet.
