The Salt anl Lime Mixture.

The mixture is made by disolving
one bushel OF salt in the least water
possible, and then shaking with this
three bushels Of lime hot from the
kiln. This is al tn" salt that can be
used b. this n TO slake tie
lime. The most luable lime for
agricultural purposes is shell lime, or
that made from burning oyster or
cla,a shells. Another method recon-
1oended by G. W. Johnson is, to mix
one bushel Of salt with two Of lime,
dry under cover, and allow it gradu-
ally to decompose and unite the '.hlo-
rine of the salt. with the lime. 1t
may be turned occasionally tor two
or three months, bv which time It
will be we'll united together. And
whatever way is taken to form the
mixture, it should not be used inme-
diaeely, but should remain ncospor-
ated at least SIX weekstilat the elem
ical union may be well formed. The
chemical changes that take place
..:e The chlorine Of the silt unitcs
,:ita the lime and forms coarse
chloride Of lime the soda OF the sait
IS mostly set free, and probably slow
~ attracts carbonic acid from the
II. and forms carbonate Of soda.
Tho mixture has a remarkable de-
composing power, and If You mix
ti.roe or tour bushels of it with coid
o: swamp muck, leaves, or any other
vegetable matter, it Will soon be re
daeed to a powder. 1t is most excel
lent TO mix with coarse manure fol,
the purpose of decomposing and ren-
de:ing. it 6ne. After the sour muck
from vet places is decomposed by the
.s.,!i l.nd lime it is then in ripe condi-
ton TO be compostet with barnyarl
mature, and compost becomes as vaE
u.be as the barnyard manure alone
Almost every farm has supply Of
muck, which might be turned into
valuable manure. Hog manure has
been greatly benefited by mixing
" .th the salt and lime-correcting its
rank character and fitting it for gar
,len use; but it is probably better
that the salt and lime should first be
composted with muck and then ap-
piled to hog manure. We stated in
our first article on manures that salt
and lime, composted with barnyard
manure, would preserve the ammo
MIA. This has been considered by
most who have used it as practically
correct; but, theoretically, that small
portion of this mixture, which be-
comes carbonate of soda, would be
supposed TO dissipate the ammonia,
unless the chlorine was sufficient to
absorb it all, which is, no doubt, gen.
orally the case.
The salt and lime mixture alone
makes an excellent top-dressing for
most crops, at the rate of twenty to
thirty bushels per acre. The char.
acter of the lime is so much changed
by the union of the salt, that there
IS IS no danger of injury from an exces-
sive 81 quantity, and, where land has
been overlimed, a top-dressing of salt
will correct it at once. The decom-
posing effect of this mixture upon
vegetable matter in the soil is very
great Fifty bushels applied TO al

turnip field has produced as large 9
crop las twenty loads of the barn
yard manure, which could only be
accounted for on the supposition OF
its decomposing vegetable matter in
the soil, and rendering it fit for plant
food. 1t is also very destructive ,of
insects, grubs, etc, in the soil. Like
salt, this mixture has the power OF
attracting moisture from the. air, and
has often been observed to prevent
the effects of drouth.-Rural New

The Legislature, as per joint resolu-
ton, will adjourn next Monday at lC
a. m. The session has been at least
an average useful one. All like bodies
will defeat some meritorious bills and
pass some that are Of doubtful utility,
but in this instance, we know of no
harmful enactments. At this writing,
all laws of special importance are pass
ed, save the one making an apportion-
ment for members of the next Legis-
lative Assembly. A public and free
school bill has been enacted, and this
of itself we regard worth what the
session cost.

So warm and sleepy and white.
And thar sot Little Breeches, and chirped
As peart as ever you see,
" / want chaw of terbacker,
And that 5 what's the matter of me-"
How did he get thar? Angels,
He never could have walked in that storm
They jest scooped down and toted him
To whar it was safe and warm.
And l think that saving a little child,
And bringing him to his own,
Is a derned sight better business
Than lOafn' about The Throne.
Arizona citizen. [volume] (Tucson, Pima County, A.T. [i.e. Ariz.]) 1870-1880, 1871-02-18

EVERY man interested in Arizona,
should read the financial exhibits we
give this week to the exclusion of much
else Of interest, and not neglect the
special CONS report which is common
ly believed to have been originated for
the sole purpose of defeating the con-
firmatioD of Cha's FL. Lord as Auditor,
and possibly John B. Allen as Treas
urer, both Of which gentlemen have
filled their Offices honestly and correct
ly, and discharged their duties as citi-
zens with as much iberality as any
other two in Arizona according to their
means. A detailed history Of this
causelessly inimical report and its
failure to effect the purpose intended,
is crowded out.
