Fortunes Sunk in Farming.

j. j. Thomas says he knows farmer
over sixty years old, who has worked hard
for more than forty years. He began with
good one hundred and fifty acre farm
given him, but subject to an incumbrance
of about one-third its value. This was
good start. He is, after lapse of forty
years still in debt. He is temperate had
he not been his farm would have gone long
ago. He has worked hard: had he not, he
must have failed. He has been economi-
cal, in its common meaning, Or he never
could have kept even with his creditors.
What then has kept him back in the
world? Mr.. Thomas has been figuring up,
and finds that he has virtually sunk three
good estates by want of management.
First. In wintering his cattle and sheep
He kept, generally, about twenty cattle and
one hundred sheep. The cattle trod about
three tons of hay under foot each year, and
consumed half ton extra by exposure to
the Winds in all thirteen tons, worth SOL
This exposure of cattle and calves reduced
their size and market value ne-thrd-an-
nual increase six head, and average value
lost IS each-$4S. Ten per cent. of his
sheep and lambs were lost by want of
shelter, and the clip was diminished twenty
five per cent. from the same cause-total
loss on sheep, per annum, $50. The whole
yearly loss on cattle and sheep was, there
fore $3.50. In forty years this annual loss
with compound interest, would amount to
about $4,000. Thus one fortune has been
sunk.
Secondly. In want of good rotation of
crops He raised wheat after wheat, oats
after oats, and corn after corn, because the
stubble was most easily plowed, till his land
was exhausted and full of weeds. The
crops as whole, scarcely paid his labor
A good rotation would have safely given
him one-third more, which would have been
clear gain, on an average, of at least So
an acre, on about fifty acres, yearly-total,
$3.50 year. This loss repeated for forty
years, and interest, would amount to more
than $4,000 This was the second fortune
sunk.
Thirdly. In raising crops of weeds
Some of his pasture fields had heavier
growth of mulleins, rag-weed, .johnsworth
and thistles, than of grass; consequently,
at least half his land was wasted to grow
them. On fifty acres Of pasture, at least
81 each were yearly wasted, to say nothing
of the loss of grain by Canada thistle
patches, in retarding growth and prevent
ing clean harvesting, and his greatly dimin
ished crop of corn by fox-t and pig-weed.
The annual loss from weeds was, therefore,
at least $100-the amount of which, with
interest, in forty years would be sec, OO0.-
The third fortune.

Lime.

What is lime? How is it made and
used?
Lime, the common kind such as is applied
to land is the protoxide of calcium, white
earthly alkaline powder, obtained from the
native carbonates of lime; such as the diff
ferent calcareous stones and sea shells, by
dividing off the carbonic acid in the process
of calcination or burning, in furnaces call
ed kilns, either mixed with the fuel or
exposed to the heated air and flames from
side fires, through the central cavity in
which it is collected.
1t has variety of use, among the first
known, appears to be its application to the
formation of cements, as it is mentioned in
the Bible, Amos II. 1, and Isaiah XxXIII
10. By fusng with silica and alumina 4
fusible glass is made. When highly
heated it becomes intensely brilliant and
luminous, hence its use in the formation of
the celebrated Drummond or Magnesium
light. In the Qualification OF sugar; puri-
fication of coal gas; in tanning; the clor-
ide of lime for bleaching powders; and
lastly but not the least useful by far, for
agricultural purposes as a manure. But
few indeed understand the principal involv-
ed in the use of lime, they think if they
lime every three or four years they cannot
fail to have good crops; but lime is not
manure of itself, it must always have veg
etable or animal matter to work on; fresh
Stacked lime if applied to any moist vege-
table matter, there is a strong action be-
tween the lime and vegetable matter, form
in water; this is one very good way to use
it, for then we apply both vegetable matter,
and an agent which will render the vegeta-
BILE matters plant food. Quick lime, APP
piled to land tends to bring any hard vege-
table matter that it contains into state of
more rapid decomposition and solution, SO
as to render it proper food of plants: or if
animal matter exists it causes the evolution
of amonical gases which are taken up by
the leaves and by a certain process during
their growth is changed into gluten.
1t then will appear that the lime does not
have any direct action ON the growth of
plants, neither does it contain any MANURE
al properties, but becomes so valuable to
farmers by the action which it takes on
inert vegetable matter, by disengaging the
amonia and azote so that it may act on the
growing plants.
There is still another species of lime
that forgot to mention, it is the sulphate
of lime, sometimes called gypsum or plas-
ter, this is another good thing to apply to
grass as top dressing, but for other pur-
poses it is not so good, unless mixed with
ashes or soda ash. AGRICoLA.

Greasing Wagons.

Few people fully appreciate the import
ancc of thoroughly lubricating the axels,
ETC., of wagons and carriages, and still
fewer know what are the best material and
the best methods of applying them. A
well made wheel will endure common wear
from ten to twenty-five years, if care is
taken to use the right kind and proper
amount of grease; but if this matter is not
attended to- they will be used up in five or
six years. Lard should never be used on
wagon, for it will penetrate the hub, and
work its way out around the lemons of the
spokes, and spoil the wheel. Tallow is the
best lubricator for wooden axle-trees, and
castor oil for iron. Just grease enough
should be applied to the spindle of a wagon
to give it light coating; this is better
than more, for the surplus put on will work
out at the ends, and be forced by the Shout
der-bands and nut-washers into the hub
around the outside of the boxes. To oil
an axle-tree, first wipe the spindle clean
with a cloth wet with spirits of turpentine,
and then apply a few drops of castor oil
near the shoulders and end. One teaspoon
full is sufficient for the whole.
AN ICE HOUSE EASILY MADE.-Last Jan
uary / drew one large load of sawdust
and spread OH the ground on the north side
of my horse barn, then drew the ice Sawed
in square cakes and built up square pile
some eight by ten feet; and seven or eight
feet high, filling up the spaces between the
cakes with pounded ice. I then set up
scantling, and built board house around
it, two feet larger each way than the ice;
then filled it with sawdust around, and two
Or three feet on top, and covered it with
boards and slabs. We have used freely
through the season, sold to picnic parties,
given away to sick neighbors, and have
plenty of ice yet Western Rural.
