OK THE USE OF LIME In RAISING WHEAT.
In our last number, we produced some
facts, which had tendency 10 prove tina,
lime, in some Of its compounds, was not only
useful, but indispensable for the raising OF
wheat. Our authorities for this assertion
were derived from the British writer's. We
will now adduce the testimony Of an Ameri,
can culuvator, relative to the value Of lime,
especially for wheat, and give some practical
directions for The application Of this indispen>
sable requisite for good farming.
A writer Of the New York Evening Post,
asserts that she has experienced the efficacy
oil slack lime as a manure on ground that was
entirely worn out, producing nothing but five
fingered leaves and weeds. The ground was
titled, and 40 bushels TO the acre was spread
over it. II Yves seeded with grain, and tim
othy and clover were sown al the same time.
1t yielded me fine crop. moved the
same FIVE years, without adding any manure.
The second tnanuriDg was still more effica-
cious, when so or 80 bushels were used. For.
ty bushels, however, is as much as should be
used the first time. knew Of farm in n
Jersey in lime stone country, completely
worn out. The most that could be obtained
for il was fifteen dollars per acre. presume
the purchaser would not now sell il for so
dollars per acre. IL 10 entirely renewed by
lime, and it is pleasure to look over it.
"The advantage Of using lime is, you in
sure 10 yonrseli certain crop, unless the
season is very unfavorsble. Ground which
has not yielded wheat for many years now
produces fine crops In one instance, forty
! five bushels per acre have been produced
this season. Your grain OF every kind will
be at least double, in many instances treble
Your pastures will be very abundahl-you
may double and treble your stock of cattle

farmer will then reap sbundontly and The ole

With regard TO the best mode Of applying
