RELATIVE VALUE OF LIME, ASHES, AND

asks us to state g" our opinion az to the rel

ashes, the same Of lime, and Of 400 weight

If the SOIL however, abounded in vegetable
and animal remains, they would render them
available by decomposing and preparing
them to be imbibed as food by the plants.

it would be well 10 mix 200 lbs Of guano,
and biNhel Of salt, intimately together,

Lime on Grass Land.

When we consider the vast quantity Of
lime that Is removed by crop of grass, it
seems reasonable to suppose. that some
means ought to be taken to restore that eIe-
ment to the soil, II the soil does not already
contain sufficient amount. Two tons of
red clover will carry "ff 1870 lbs. of lime
two tons of rye grass 33 lbs. This is from,
an analysis by Professor Johnston, whose
high authority cannot be doubted and from
analysis we find all grasses TO contain lime
IN large proportions, especially Clovers and
ucerne. Although the quantity OF lime ap.
pears great deal carried off by these crops,
yet very small when compared with The
weight Of The soil, as one cubic foot weighs
about 80 lbs. ; aud the presence of much
greater quaulity Of lime is necessary To be
IN the soil than what is actually required by
the various crops, as the roots of feeding
organs do not come in contact with the
hundreth part of the soil. The clear grassy
part of the stems Of grass is composed of a
sillcate of potash or silcate of soda and
in the absence Of either of these substances
lime in contact with sand or flint will rem
der 1t sufficiently soluble 10 enter INTO the
organism of plants, and will also set at lib
ETY. matters that have been taken 10 in the
soil, and quite unfit in that state for the
food Of the plants If grass is not carried
away in the shape of a crop Of hay, but used
as pasture Tor milk cows or growing stock,
sill a great amount of lime is removed by
those animals l;hl pounds of bones contain
above 81 lbs, of lime. Milk, too, carries
oil carbonate and phosphate of lime in great
abundance. Yet it must be remembered that
there Is a marked difference between the
iuIl grown anlmal and young or grow.
ing one the former excreates carbonate
and phosphate OF lime in its liquid and solid
excreteS, whereas nature has so Orrauized
The young animal, that the greater part of
the lime eaten IN its food is assinilated for
the growth and extension of its bones if
such were not the fact, how could bones
possess the immense quantity of lime in their
composition? So, even by this means the
soil becomes deficient Of lime, if all The ex.

A Yankee Trick in Ireland.

When he had arrived al village about ten
miles from the point Of his destination, he
was entirely exhausted, both IN stomach aud

I'M his mind the question whether he should
Commence begging at The next house. A.
he left the confines of the village, while
searching his pockets thoroughly in hope Of
finding stray penny with which to pur.
chase s"me refreshment, he found bright
plated button. A bright idea struck him "a,
the instant, and he boldly stepped Into ii
tidy farmhouse aud called for "pen'orlh
of bntthermilk." The churn was standing
as usual in the middle of the floor, and the
good wife dipped flom it pint of the
Slrenglhlng beverage. Pat drank il off, and
reached the button toward the woman. bn,
dropped it III The churn, as if by accident.
" Arrah ! he jtbers " he exclaimed
wringIng his hands, but there goes me last
shilling into the churrun. I'll hey to troub.
lie ye to empty it, for I've nothing more to
pay me EXPENSES TILL Dublin"
Don't ye be makln' noise about that"
replied the woman. "Pll give ye the change
for yer shilling and let the same lie aisy in
the churn ill the butthemik is sold out. So
never ye mind, now "
Pat, nothing 10th, received eleven pence
from the good wife, which served to pay his
expenses to Dublin; and when we reminded
him that the transaction was dishonest onhis
part, he gave great flourish with his stick,
and cried cut All, aow, yez can't say
that, for twas only little bit of an Irish

Of dogs should moi vote upon the question,
on the ground that they were interested in
the result They finally voted to repeal the
dog law, and concluded the meeting with a
vote Of thanks and two dollars to the Modera-
