SORREL.

There is no better agent for Graduating
sorrel from lands than lime. Where the
soil has become sour this pest soon appears,
and it is like fighting against hope to at
tempt to kill it by turning under, Lime,
applied to the surface, will not only destroy
it, but permanently change the character Of
the soil, so that the sweetest and richest
heritage will grow in its place.-MOnitor.
Our friend Collins is too sound man on
agricultural topics generally, to be allowed
to publish the above without criticism. If
he will look around him he will see that sor-
rel, so far from being an evidence of "sour''
soil, grows best on our dryest, warmest,
sweetest land. If he will further try the
experiment Of nanuring few sorrel plants
with lime or ashes, (using a quantity equal
to the largest profitable application per acre
and keep mt all other plants, he will find
that, so far from the sorrel being killed, it
will Flourish like green bay tree" under
the treatment. Lime and ashes do not Grad
icate sorrel by their alkaline properties, but
by their iertilizing powers, causing stronger
plants to choke il out. The acid of sorrel
is the oxalate of potash. and sorrel will moi
grow in a soil destitute Of potash Or Of lime
