WHEN TO USE LIME AND PLAS-
TER.

Lime doctoring, should be performed
with an intelligent reference to the nature
of the disease. and the adaptation of the
remedy Gen. Pierce, of Akron, is a care
full observer of natural phenomena, and
withal successful cutivator. He has re-
Gently contributed the following valuable
suggestions to the tSunaRaH Beacon
The value of Lime or Plaster, as il ma
nure, depends upon the component parts
of the soil to which it is applied. All land
has more or less sulphuric acid in it, caus-
ed by the decomposition of iron pyrites.
The presence of this acid may generally
be known by the appearance of the soil.
and particularly of the stone. Ii there is
is any iron rust, or oxide of iron, in the
soil, or in the stone or in top of the wa
ter that filterates through the soil or if
the water is hard, it indicates the presence
of sulphuric acid.
If the roots of clover, and herdgrass in
the spring, are two or three inches out OF
the ground, and in detached parcels, with
bare ground between-it is the work OF
sulphuric acid. On such land plaster is a
positive injury.
If clover and tame grasses die out, and
succeeded by wire grass, sorrel or sour
dock, it is caused by sulphuric acid, Put
on lime and keep off plaster.
The reason why plaster should not be
used on land charged with sulphuric acid,
is that plaster is composed oflime and sui
phur, and applying that is added more OF
that with which the land is already over
charged. On such land apply lime, which
unites with the sulphuric acid, and forms
plaster. The lime thus ncutralizes the
sulphur and forms a compound uutriment
for vegetation.
The reason why the ground appears SO
hard. where the earth is charged with sui
phuric acid is that the old stubble has been
eaten up by the acid.
The sulphuric acid in plaster, applied tc
land not overcharged with that substance,
decomposes vegetation, and fits it for nour
ishing the living plants. When there is III
excess of the acid it eats up the vegetation
both dead and living. This is the reason
why soils overcharged with the acid are al
ways deficient in vegetable matter. AnC
soils free from it, have an access of vege
table matter in decomposed state.
The presence of this acid is the cause Of
sorreI or sour dock, and sour grass. The
land is literally Sour. and Nature i.
trying to throw it from her stomach,
through these excrecenses.
The rule then, is, il your land has too
much sulphuric acid, or is sour, give 1t q
good coat of lime il destitute of aciC
apply plaster.--Ge Germantown Telegraph.

WHITE SHEEP SKINS FOR Door MATS
Take two long-wooed sheep skins, and
make up strong lather of soap; the sign
of proper strength is when the lather feels
slippery between the fingers. When the
lather is cold, wash the skin, carefully i'll
it squeezing them between the hands so
as to take all the dirt out of the WOOL
When this is accomplished lift out the
skins and wash them well in cold water
until all the soap is extracted. Have a
vessel of clean cold water ready, to which
some alum and salt (about half pound J
which have been dissolved in a small
quantity of hot water are added, snd the
skins left to steep over night, They are
taken out in the morning and hung over
pole to drip. When the alum water
has dripped off they are spread out on
board to dry, and carefully stretched
with the hand from time to time. Be-
fore they are thoroughly dry a composition
OF two table spOonfuls of alum and the
same of saltpetre are ground to powder in
II mortar or otherwise, and sprinkled care
fully on the heshy side of each skim
They are then placed one on the top Of
the other, leaving the wool outside and
hung upon rack of Stats in u barn, shed,
or dry airy place, for about three days, or
until they are dry-they SHOULD be turned
every day. After this they are taken
down and the flesh side scraped with a
blunt knife and each skin trimmed for a
mat. The flesh side may then be rubbed
over with pipe clay, beat with switch,
and will then be found supple, of beau
tiful white color, and III for door mat
for mechanic or prince.
