Marion’s principles were well known.

The extent of the liming can be traced in the crcps for ten years. Outside out of it, in' the same field, all this time there is a comparatively marked feebleness of vegetable growth. Great mistakes are, however, made by un fledged experimenters. When lime is spred on a bare, worn -out field, Con taining no vegitable matter of any kind, it is simply a destroyer instead of a help. It should always go go npon sod land just broken up, either clover, timothy or blue grass, or indeed any heavy coat of weeds, roots, etc., such as when rotted, makes with animal dnug, good organ ic manure.

When for the new plank Lime itself, without the above result ing good, is an enemy of plant life, and when to much is spread at once it is an injury, even on land with some vegetable matter. Another serious error is often com mitted, in ignorance of agricultural chemistry. Eager to make a crop, they haul out the barnyard manure and dumped air-slacked lime with it sometimes on the same pile. This is getting no an antagonism between two friends of plant life. The potent en ergy of stable manure is in its great concentration of amonia. Ammonia is to vegitable life what blood is to animal life. Chemistry and experi ment will, teach ns that lime is in mortal enmity to ammonia, and at once drives it all off, destroying the the value of the manure. Hence we J. A.
