ACTION OF LIME ON SOILS.

Mr.. E. Fl. Libby, of the Scientific Farm
En-, draws the following conclusions regar-
ding the action of lime in the soil, and the
best methods for applying it as fertilizer:
Soils rich in organic matter, even though
they already contain it in considerable
quantities, drained peat swamps, stiff clays,
and course heavy soils, and especially those
destitute of it, are all benefited by an
application of lime. Good results also
follow it's use on night soils after an incor-
poration of organic matter as green
manure, muck, or thick sod or green
crop plouShed under. Sterile soils are
rapidly rendered more sterile by its appli-
cation. Wet lands show the least effect
from treatement with lime. Hence such
lands must either be drained, or receive an
extra amount. Clay should also have
organic matter applied in connection with
lime. 1t acts most effectually near the
surface. The apparent effect is greater
the second season than the first, so the
most satisfactory results are obtained by
sowing broadcast in the early Fall, with
at most only light narrowing or brushing.
1t should be applied in an air Stacked, fine
mechanical condition. The most profita-
BILE quantity to apply depends much on the
land; wet soils, those well filled with organic
matter, and clays, taking most-from ten
to 4O bushels being recommended, accord
ing to the circumstances.
a careful study of this subject will ex-
plain why soils containing lime are benefit
ed by an addition; and also why, though
an excess of lime in soils causes the pro-
duction of course plants, yet its use often
improves grasses and grains. 1t is said
that turnips grown on some farms, on land
well lined, are better cattle food than
otherwise, perhaps because of the potash
set free for their use. But great deal
still remains to be learned abont this sub
ject.''

sB The size and shape of the teeth are
ordinarily a sure criterion of the age of
sheep up to six years old. The lamb teeth
are narrow and small. At one year old the
two middle front teeth fall out, and are
replaced by teeth much wider and larger.
The next year two more wide teeth appear,
and at six years old the mouth is "full,"
the lamb teeth having all disappeared
After that the teeth grow darker, longer
and narrower, until they eventually fall
out. A praeticed shepherd can usually
judge the age, very nearly, up to twelve
years.-Country Gentleman.

THE MODEL FARMER.

The model farmer can't be found in every
peiohborhood You may even tramp over
half county possibly without meeting INN.
But when your eyes once fall on the model
farmer you may know him by the follow
ing signs:
/. The model farmer thoroughly loDes his
bnsiness. regards it as one of the nOblest OF
calliugs; is wide awake to all its interests,
and takes an active part in every enterprise
to push then, forward. But our model
farmer has no hatred of honest workers in
other lines of industry, and knows full
we'll that every pursuit is made prosperous
through the harmony and prosperity OF all
the rest.
2. Oar model farmer is thinker. He
has laid his farm with especial reference to
the highest possible convenience. The ar
rangements of his barn, feeding shed, and
Dig pens, all show the thoughtful purpose.
His fields are cultivated with rotation of
crops settled upon years beforehand. The
model farmer likewise plans the work OF
the season SO that every particular JOB
has its place, and there is no confusion or
doubt as to what comes next
8. The model farmer is likewise model
business man. He is wary about going into
debt. knows lust what his liabilities are,
keeps systematic accounts of all his trans
actions, can tell you the exact cost and
profit of every crop and every herd, meets
his obligations with promptness. and don
finish up a new house or a new barn with a
mortgage.
4. The model farmer is a model in skill
full farm management. He uses all labor
saving instruments, but keeps them i'll per-
feet order. and housed when not in use.
You will find on his tools neither rust nor
rot. He does every thing in it's proper
time-loves thoroughness, hates weeds,
hates slovenly farming, gives bis stock
good shelter and abundant food, but knows
and practices the art of feeding for spe-
cific purpose, whether for growth or fat
tening, butter or work. He knows also the
fitness of particular products, and plants
accordingly.
5. The model farmer is an economist.
He wastes no time. You will not find him
loafing in groceries or whiting the dry
goods boxes of the nearest town. His time
is part of his capital, and he invests it SO
as to get the greatest profits. lie is also
an economist of labor. He seeks con-
stantly to accomplish results with the least
possible wear and tear of muscle, and every
genuine appliance for shortening processes
in labor finds favor with him. Being far

A Bloody Death-Grapple.
Magnolia Herald, 3d.J

Lorenzo ID. Cox, well known in Ma
rion county, left his house a few morn
ings ago, and went into new ground
field to work. As has been his Gus
toms for the last sixteen years, be car
red bis gun and other weapons-hs
constant companions. He set his gun
down by a stump and stepped off
few spaces and squatted down to build
a fire, and as he raised up be was fired
upon by q man behind tree, who
was in waiting there to kill him. Cox
fell to the ground at the crack of the
gun, and as he raised up, was shot
again, but crawled to the stump where
bis own gun was, and discovering the
position of his opponent, waited lis
opportunity. Presently be peeped
out from behind the tree, and as be
did so, Cox fired on him. This was
followed by an exchange of pistol
shots, and Cox's opponent fell to the
ground. He then craw led up to him,
and about this time Cox's little son,
who heard the firing, came up. Cox
then took bis knife and stabbed the
man through his neck and in tho
breast until he was dead. He proved
to be William Morris. Three balls
entered his neck and breast and one
in the forehead. Cox was shot
through both lungs, and at this writ
ing our informant thinks he must be
dead, as his attending physicians,
Drs. Ford and Banks, were Of the
opinion that be could not long survive.
This horrible tragedy, we are told,
Z, the result Of long standing feud,
and thatiMorris came from Texas, Ito
which State he moved some years ago
from Marion county, for the purpose
of killing Cox.
