on stiff clays. it serves TO disntegrate the par
tcles of clay and lightens the texture of the
soil;while on sands, it tends TO give tenacity TO
them. 1t dissolves hard inert fbrous substan-
ces in the soil, and prepares them to become
the food of plants. II Itneutralizes the acids of
the soil, unites with them.and ultimately deals
them out as the food Of plants, thus rendering
noxlous bodies tributary to their healthful
growth. Limo is found by analysis to form
a part OF the vegetable structure of most plants,
and hence the inference is that it is indispensa-
bic to their healthiul existence. Lime too is
SAID to possess the power of electricity; If such
be the case, II must act as stimulus, and like
other stimulants, j" not used to excess may ex-
ert highly friendly influence upon the con-
stltutons Of plants. These are but few of
the properties assigned TO lime and experience
teaches all sensible agrcuturists that whenev-
or judiciously applied 10 lands needing it., it
has produced the most meorating effects: that
lands, chiefly through its means aided by grass
andclover culture, which were worn out, have
been brought to n state of fertility seeing
these things it is no longer matter OF surprise
that lining and maring, which arevrtually the
same thing, have become the fashion and as
fashion gives tone TO public and private sent-
ment 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 luxuriant crops. But we
wish our agricultural readers to fear these
truths in mind,-that without one fourth or
fifth ofthc arabic land be kept in clover and
grass, no progressive permanent improve
ment can be enected,-that though exhausted
lands require lime yet they require animal and
vegetable manures also--that no system of
culture can be either intelligent or profitable
that does not combine the culture of clover and
,he grasses in it's elements,--that it is useless
to lime or mari wet lands before they are drai-
ned, and that when drained, deep and exact
pIoughing and thorough pulverization are in
|dispensable to full and perfect success.

Lining and Marling. Quantities Per Acre.
Now as to quantities to be applied to an u
csc. We have never been an advocate for
large first application, because we believed
less would answer, every useful present pur-
pose and, because, the cost OF large quantities
were calculated to deter many from applying
any, whereas they would very readily incur
that attendant upon the purchase of small
dose, ifthey could be made to believe that
its effects would be equally salutary for pres
ent purposes, and that the maximum dose
could be just as adyantageously applied at
several times as at one. The quantity to be
applied must, in our view, bear Just relation
to the quality and texture of the soil. Hence
we prepared to assume that, on stiff clay
soil that has been in grass, and which is well
supplied with vegetable remains, 100 bushels
to the acre may be safely and advant tageously
applied; on stiO' clay which through course
OF improvldent culture may have been reduc.
Ell. and where clover has not been grown from
DC To 50 bushels is quite as much as should be
put OF al one time: on a clay m0uld, which has
been cultivated in grass or clover in the course
of rotation. and where it is reasonable to ex-
pect that there much vegetable remains,
the latter quantities may be very properly
applied: on sandy loam, similarly situated,
the same quantities may be applied: on sandy
or gravelly lands. unless they be in clover or
grass, not more than 25 to 30 bushels should
ever be applied at single dressing: on such
lands not in grass in state Of exhaustion 10,
Is or 20 bushels of lime is IS much as should
be put on at a single dressing;and as we have
before sta,ed,-on such lands, either lime or
mari is most judlciously applied when put on
in compost with clay, say 10 double horse cart
loads of clay to whatever quantity OF lime or
mari that may be applied per acre.
From the c6ete nature of the calcareous
matter in marl lands will bear twice as much
mari as it will of lime; indeed thrice the guam
tity may be put on with the certainty of good
effects resulting therefrom, as besides the cal
careous principle existing in mari, it most gen.
eray contains much animal and vegetable
matter which, under the influence of heat mos-
ture and air, is speedily resolved into nutritive
manures; additional to which, there is nearly
two per cent of bone earth in most mars.
Whether lime,o or mari be appled,it should be
narrowed in, as the sooner it is mingled with
the soil the sooner will the performance of its
offices be commemorative sooner will its ef.
fects be made manifest.
ACTION OF lime.
As to the question of how lime acts?-there
is some diversity of opnion,-but there SCENE
TO be concurrence of sentiment among sci
enti6c men, as TO certain Offices which it per
forms,- and these are borne out by the OBJ
servatlon of practical farmers. Among the of

For the Cure Of

Many years Of trial, instead of impairing the
public confidence In this medicine has won Tor 1t
an appreciation and noturicty by far exceeding the
most sanguine expectations of its friends. Moth
ing but its intrinsic virtues and the unmistakable
benefit conferred Oh thousands of sufferers, could
originate and maintain the reputation II enjoys
While many Inferior remedies thrust upon the
community, have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred bene
fits On the afflicted they can never forget, and pro-
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten.
While it is fraud on the public to pretend that
any one medicine will infallibly cure-still there
is abundant proof that the CHERRY PICTORIAL
does not only as general thing, but almost inva-
riably cure the maladies for which it is employed.
As time makes these facts wider and better
known, this medicine has gradually become the
best reliance OF the afflicted, from the logcabin
of the American peasant, TO the palaces OF Europe
an Kings. Throughout this entire country, In ev-
cry State, city, and indeed almost every hamlet
it contains, CHERRY PECToRAL is known as the
best remedy extant for diseases of the Throat and
Lungs, and in many foreign countries, 1t is COM
ing to be extensively used by their most intelli-
gent Physicians In Great Britain, France and
Germany, where the medical sciences have reach
ed their highest perfection, CHERRY PICTORIAL
is introduced. aud in constant use in the Armies,
Hospitals, Aims Houses, Public Institutions, and
in domestic practice, as the surest remedy their
attending Physicians can employ for the more
dangerous affections Of the lungs. Also in mild
er cases, and for children it is safe, pleasant and
eflectnal to cure. In fact, some Of the most fiat
tering testimonials we receive have been from
parents who have found il efficacious in cases par
ticu!ary incidental TO childhood.
The CHERRY PEcToRAL is manufactured by a
practical Chemist, and every ounce of it under his
own eye. with invarlabe accuracy and care. 1t
is sealed and protected by law from counterfeits,
consequently can be relied on as genuine without
adslteration.
We have endeavored here TO furnish the COM
munitv with medicine of such intrinsic superior
ty and worth as should commend itself to their
confdeuce--a remedy at once safe, speedy and eff
fec,ual, which this has by repeated and countless
trials proved itself to be- and trust by great care
in preparing it with chemical accuracy, Of uniform
strength to afford Physicians new agent on which
they can rely for the best results and the afflicted
with remedy that will do for them all that med
icine can do.
