Use of Lime in Agriculture.

The action Of lime is two-fOld; hrst, physl-
CAL second, chemical. As mechanica! agent
Il opens stiff clays, rendering them friable,
mellow, and more easily worked; chemically,
it acts upon the vegetable matter OF the soil,
and sets free those storesof valuable substances
which, without the action Of this agent, must
have remained inert aud useless. Italsoen
directly into the composition Of plants, and in
many varieties forms large proportion Of the
weight Of their inorganic constituents. ltneu-
tralizes certain acids which are very oIsen pre-
sent in soils, rendering them useful to vegeta-
tion instead of being positively injurious,
which they are in their original state.
The existence Of water In tho soil, however,
affects the action OF lime very considerably
II the land Is wet and uudrained, lime will not
exert the same influence which it would do in
the case of thoroughly drained land. A great
er quantity Of lime is necessary to produce a
given effect, aud thus the neglect Of thorough
drainage entails a considerably greater expen!
diture in lining than would have been necessa-
ry if the land was either naturally or artificial
ly dry.-Ftrn;sr.

Discomfort.


A FABLE is told in Egypt of poor man
who had a nice little garden of leeks. But
he was disconnected at having to toll for his
daily bread.
His good genius came to his aid, and made
him owner Of a villa with two slaves to wait
on him.
Ho was delighted with the gin, aud pron'is-
ell to wish for nothing more. But it was not
long before he coveted the ueighbofing garden,
with its statues and fountains. The garden
was given him. He then took a fancy to the
meadow beyond. The meadow was given
him, and then he wanted the park on the farth-
er side Of it. The park was bestowed on him,
and then, like Ahab, he wanted to rob poor
man of his little vineyard.
Open the door to discomfort, and you don't
know how many bad wishes will follow.

have, and you will be happy even if poor
