Lime, Coal SCOT, ETC., as Manures.

Now is the season, says the N. Y. Scientific
American of April last, for the application Of
stop dressings" for pasture, meadow, and
other lands. The best substances for this
purpose afford matter worthy of attention,
and yet it Is difficult to give any but general
advice, as the nature of the soil must always
be taken INTO consideration in providing suit.
able fertilizers. Gypsum common plaster,
is very extensively employed for top dress
ings; but many farmers question its advan-
tages except for clover. Gypsum is CON-
posed Of about equal parts Of lime, water,
and sulphuric acid. Il is mineral which
is found IN the tertiary formation above the
chalk, and it is also an accompanying bed
Of the new red sandstone which covers the
coal measures. On pasture land it produces
good effects when applied on the clover as it
is springing up in early Spring. Air-slacked
lime has been Of considerable benefit in some
paticular situations, when thinly sowed upon
pasture lands. It has produced good effects
on grass where there has been considerable
sorrel and moss, by making fine grass spring
up in the place Of these. 1t is very good
for coarse, thin pastures, situated on high
grounds, but it is best to apply it mixed with
half its weight Of clay. ln Western Penn
sylvania, Ohio, aid all places where bitumin-
Gus coal is employed for fuel, its SCOT is ex.
cellent for top dressing for gardens and all
lands. 1t contains some traces Of potash,
ammoniacal salts and pungent coal oil. 1t
is an excellent manure, and imparts most
healthy color to young plants, such as on
ions, and all kinds Of grains and grasses. 1t
never fails to invigorate young grain when
applied in the Spring. It is, perhaps, the
quickest and most powerful top dressing that
can be used. About forty bushels sown
upon an acre Of clover will about double
the crop. The white fine ashes Of coal
contain considerable stimllants for grass as
q top dressing. These consist Of some
lime, magnesia, aluminous earths and traces
Of potash. Applied TO old pasture lands as
Q top dressing, at the rate Of about sixty
bushels TO the acre, in April, it is very
beneficial. Il tends to destroy sorrel, rush.
es, and mosses. As compost Of clay and
lime is accessible to almost every farmer, its
application is greatly recommended. II is a
very durable top dressing for grass lands,
and il also benefits almost any soil to which
Il may be applied. About fifteen. bushels
q. lime d very good quantity 10 the acre,
but twenty bushels may be safely used.
