Action of Lime.

Hon. John Delafield, in his address be
fore the Yates County Agricultural Society,
made the following remarks in regard to
the action of lime. They are worthy the
attention of farmers:
Lime exists in plants in various pro-
portions, viz: 80 per cent. of the ashes of
oakwood is lime; 81 per cent. of the ashes
poplar is lime; IA per cent. of the ashes OF
peas lime, and A per cent. of the ashes
of our wheat plant is lime. Lime is an
essential constituent of wheat. 1t must
therefore, be IN our soils, or our wheat
never can be matured. Lime, therefore,
is direct food for wheat and SO also for
other plants. This important element of
our soils, possesses several qualities, most
essential and highly beneficial to the far
mer. For instance, when applied 10 hea-
Wy clay soils, it renders them more open
and easily worked, admitting the action of
the atmosphere.
In all soils containing the sulphate of
iron, will decompose the sui phate of iron
and thereby form plaster of parie, mate
rial well known. When we apply lime
in its fresh or caustic state, it acts as sol
vent, destroys the texture of matter in con-
tact with it, or changes its nature. But
when by exposure to the air this power
is lost and it becomes Stacked, then it is
food direct for plants.
Now as to the best method of using
lime, farmers are not agreed; and with
some hesitation | will state my practice
and give my reasons. We see and know
that twenty bushels of wheat, if produced
from single acre, will take from that "a
bout seuea pounds of lime-then as a
bushel of lime weighs about ~ pounds in
a caustic state, it will weigh when slack
ed, about 100 pounds by the absorption of
water; therefore one 6usheI of lime is suf-
ficient for fourteen acres of wheat or
thereabouts, but as this supply is for one
crop only, and as weeds and other vegeta-
ton will rob the wheat of its due share,
would apply two bushels to the acre, and
feel that it is sufficient for four or five
years.
1t is true that farmers in this country
have applied from so to 100 bushels per
acre, and there may occasionally be farm
where such dose may do good, but more
likely to do harm; at any rate, for the rea-
sons above stated, it seems a wasteful and
expensive system. For light sole, |
would Recommend mixture of lime and
muck, applying 20 TO % bushels of the
mixture to an acre. But never mix lime
with your manure heaps; this a ruinous
practice, because 1t eXpels from your ma
nure its chief power; it destroys the am
monia salt which is our aim to preserve

PaSturage.

1t is said, that in North Wiltonshire, fa-
nous for its excellent dairy products, the
farmers are in the practice of mixing sheep
with cows TO prevent the pastures from be-
coming too luxuriant, in the proportion of
one sheep to one COW. An English au-
thor recommends the mixing of few
sheep and one or two colts, in each pas
ture for horned cattle. Another writer on
English Husbandry, says that the follow
ing method has long been successfully
practiced by the Hollanders, and recon-
mends its adoption in his own country
He remarks that when eight cows have
been in the pasture so long as entirely to
consume all the grass they can Craze, and
can of course no longer obtain the neces-
sary quantity of food, two horses will find
a sufficiency of food for several days.
After these begin to fail of procuring an
adequate amount daily, to supply their
wants. four sheep will be able to live in
the enclosure, and procure food, for weeks.
Sheep, however, should never be permitted
to occupy the same pasture with black
cattle, or horses; they foul and trample
more food than they consume; but when it
is convenient to take the former from a
field or pasture, sheep may be probably
introduced to consume what the cattle have
left.-Germ@'to,ca Telegraph.

SALT FOR MncH Cows.-When cows
In milk are kept on green, succulent food,
they require a regular and liberal supply
of salt. So also, when cattle are first turn
ed to pasture in the spring, they require
sailing more frequently than in the latter
part OF the season when the herbage, is less
succulent and fresh. 1t is often the case
that animals, taken from dry food, and
supplied exclusively with green fermenta-
BILE herbage, are greatly debilitated by
'scours.' Salt, i'll due quantity, is GER
tain preventative of this malady. On first
going to grass, cows should have one pint
of Indian meal each, per day, and this
should be continued for week or so, and
then not stopped suddenly. but gradually.

I"The annexed beautiful lines are ia
ken from Sir Humphrey Davy's Salmonia;
II envy no quality of the mind or intellec:
to others, be it genius, power, wit or fam
cy, but if could chose what would be
most delightful, and believe most useful
TO me, should prefer firm religious be-
lief to every other blessing; for it makes
life discipline of goodness; creates new
hopes when all earthly hopes vanish; and
throws over the decay, the destruction of
existence, the most gorgeous of all lights,
awaken life even in death, and from cor
ruption and decay calls up beauty and di.
vinity; makes an instrument of torture and
shame the ladder of ascent to Paradise,
and far above all combination of earthly
hopes, calls up the most delightful visions
of palms and amaranths, the gardens of
the blest, the security of everlasting joys,
where the sensualist and the sceptic view
only gloom, decay, annihilation and de-
spair.

What | Love.
BY GEORGE HEARTwELL.

! love the man with feeling soul,
Whose passions are deep and strong;
Whose cords when touched W ith a kindred
power,
Will vbrate loud and long:
The man whose word is bond and law
Who meier for gold or power
Would kiss the hand that would stab the hear
In adversity's trying hour.
] love the man who will dare to lift
His voice for the struggling poor;
The man who will open his heart, nor close
Against the beggar his door.
Oh! give me heart that will firmly stand
When the storm begins to lower
A hand that will never shrink if grasped
In misfortupe's darkest hour.

Worship of Nature.
BY J. @. WHITTIER:
The ocean looketh up to heaven,
As 'twere living thing;
The homage ofits waves is given
In ceaseless worshiping.
They kneel upon the sloPing sand
As bends the human knee;
3 A beautiful and tireless band
The priesthood of the sea.
They pour their lit:ering treasure out
Which in the deep gave birth,
And cbaunt their awful hymns about.
The watching hills of earth.
The green earth sends its incense up
From every mountain shrine
From every flower and dewy cup
That greeteth the sunshine.
The mists are lifted from the riIs,
Like the white wing of prayer;
They lean above the ancient hills,
As doing homage there.
The forest tops are lowly cast
Ger breezy hill and glen,
As if prayerful spirit pass'd
Der all the homes of men.
The clouds weep DER the fal len world,
Fen as repentant love;
Fro, to the blessed breeze unf urled,
They fade in light above.
The sky is as temple arch
The blue and wavy air
Is glorious in the spirit march
Ofmessengers at prayer.
The gentle moon, the kindly sun,
The many stars are given
As shrines to burn earth's incense on
The altar fires Of heaven.
