LINE on CoRN.-Mr r. Il. Bingham, Of

TOR, the following experiment he made with
lime upon young corn. 1t is the first time
we ever heared of similar application, and
we imagine that the Increased crop, in con-
sequence, did not more than cover the ex-
pense..-- Ed.
He says--''I have just concluded an ex-
pertinent with lime on field of corn. which
may be worthy of notice As the corn was
coming up, applied about half pint of
Stacked lime TO each hill, with the exception
Of four rows near the middle of the field
which were left that might see whether or
no lining in the hill was beneficial TO the
crop.-Then after treatment was the same
daring the season. Harvested separately
the four rows uulimod, and also adjoining
them four that were lined, (soil and situation
being precisely the sanle} and the result was
an increase of little over one-eighth in the
amount ofcorn in favor OF that which was

Professor johnson says, "the effects Of
lime are greatest vixen well mixed with the
soil. and kept near the surface within easy
reach ofthe atmosphere. Its value is greater
upon newlyplowed arabic surface soils. Such
soils usually contain large amount Of vege-
table aud other organic matter, hence the
rule that lime oaght always 10 precede put
resent manure when cid leas are broken up
for cultivation. 1t produces greater pro-
portional Improvement on poor soils in their
natural state than On such as are richer; as
naturally poor soils contain o greater or less
quantity Of organic matter, but are merely
destitute of lime. On the other hand on
poor arabic lands which lave been worn out
BY repeated lining and cropping, it does no
good whatever, rs such soils, If they do not
already abound in lime, are generally desti-
tute of other kinds of foed, organic and inor-
ganic, by which healthy plants are nourshed,
and they can only be restored to fertility 10y
judcious mixture Of all. On all lands in
which vegetable matter is wanting, lime may
even do harm to the immediate crops. A
consideration of the circumstances above
adverted TO are sufficient to induce the en-
tire abandonment ot it. Where soil has
been impoverished through its unskilful ap-
plication, or by large admixtures of lime and
mari for a series OF years, new additions arc
waste of materialand labor. When natural
causes have removed the super-abundance
and produced an accumulation of those Other
substances which, when associated with lime
increase the productiveness of the soil, lis
use may be resumed"
