ACTION Of LIME.

As to the question, Of how lime acts,
there Is some diversity OF op,nlon,--
but there seems to be concurrence ct
sentiment among scientific men, as to
certain offices which it performs, and
these are home out by the observation
of practical farmers. Among the offices
said to be performed by lime and mari.
are these. When applied in full guam
titv upon stiff claws, it serves to dlsinte-
g-ate the PARTICLES Of clay and lightens
the texture of the soil while on sands,
it tends TO give tenacity to them. 1t
dissolvrs hard inert fbrous substances
in the soil, and prepares them to become
the TODD Of plants. 1t neutrallzes the
acids Of the soil. unites with them, and
ultimately deals them out as the food of
plants, thus rendering noXlons bodies
tributary to their beautiful growth.
Lime is found, by anal ysis, to form
part the vegetable structure Of most
plants. and hence the inference is, that
it is indispensable to their beautiful ex-
istencc. Lime too, is said to possess
the power of electricity: if such be the
case, it must act as stimulus, and like
other stmulants, il not used to excess,
may exert highly friendly influence
upon the constitutions of plants. These
are but few of the properties assigned
TO lime, and experience teaches all srn-
sible agricuturists, that whenever judi
c,ously applied to lands needing it, it
las produced the mos. meliorating ef-
trcts tina, lands, chiefly through its
means, aided BY grass and clover culture.
which were worn out, have been brought
to a slate of ftrtility;-seeing these
things, il is no longer matter Of sur
prise that lining and marling, which is
virtually the same hing, has become
the frshion, and as fashion gives tone to
public aud private sent m-nt, no one
can longer doubt, that, in few years
more, most of the old fields, which now
so CRATE upon the feelings Of the patriot,
will be covered with .uxuriant crops.
But we wish our agricultural readers to
bear these truths in mind, that with.
ont one fourth or one-ifth Of the arabic
land be kept in clover and grass, no
progressive or permanent Improvement
can be effected, that though exhausted
lands require lime, We, they require an
imal and vegetable manure also-that
no system of culture can be either intel
ligen, or profitable, that does dot com
hine the culture o! clover and the gras-
ars in ITS elements, that it is useless to
lime or mari wet lands before they are
droinetl, and that, when cralned, deep
and exact p!oughing, and thorough pull
rerization, are indispensable to full and
perfect success.

the pupils were examined, were such as are

well as the more advanced subjects, connected
with the natural sciences, Mathematics, and
Languages. The examination was thorough
and searching. The Principal urged as TO make
it such, and as far as our ability extended, we
did so. The classes were given up entirely to
our disposal, and could possibly know nothing

We endcavored TO test the knowledge of the
pupils more as to ideas and things, than mere
,rords-to learn whether Judgment, as well as
memory, was receiving lis adequate cultivation.
Sometimes the text book was figidly followed,
but more frequently independent questions were
asked, for the purpose of discovering whether
an ability had been acquired for a practical ap-

to both teachers and pupils, we feel bound to
