Application Of Lime.

E. II. Libbey, in a recent number Of
the Scientific Farmer, from an investi-
cation Of the nature and action Of lime,
draws the following conclusion in regard
to its application to the soil:
Soils rich in organic matter, even
though they already contain it in con-
siderable quantities, drained peat
swamps, stiff clays, and coarse, heavy
soils, and especially those destitute Of it,
are all benefited by an application Of
lime. Good results also follow its use
on light soils after an incorporation of
organic matter, as green manure, muck,
OK a thick sod or green crop plowed un-
der. Sterile soils are rapidly rendered
more sterile by it's application. Wet
lands show least effect from treatme mt
with lime. Hence such lands must ei-
ther be drained, or receive an extra
amount. Clay should have organic
matter applied in connection with lime
1t acts more eAectually near the surface
The apparent effect is greater the sec
ond season than the first; SO the most
satisfactory results are obtained by SOW.
ing broadcast in the early fall, with at
most only a light narrowing or brushing
It should be applied in 40 air-slackcd
fine mechanical condition. The mos'
profitable quantity to apply depends
much on the land; wet soils, those wei
filed with organic matter, and clays tax
ing most-from ten to forty bushels be-
ing recommended according to the cir
cumstances.

The Answer,

The following reply to Hon. J. A.
Thacher's letter was omitted last week
because Of the crowded condition Of our
columns:
RED WING, Mimi, April %, rs
Hon. J. A. TEACHER.
Dear Sir:-1 am sorry I did not get
your letter sooner and that it is 80 long.
1t will crowd me to insert it in the
next paper but will do so. Twill leave
out the first paragraph, as you suggest,
for it is rather late in the day to accuse
me Of supposing that farmers do not
know enough to write letters. I have
been publishing and commencing letters
from farmers for 4 number of years, and
know them to be generally acute think
ers and capable Of expressing their
thoughts. The communications OF
"Cue'' and "Common-Sense" are not
up to the Farmers, Standard They
are iA-natured productions and show
more disposition to bully the opposition
into acquiescence, than to convince them
Of being in error. This is bad policy
for the friends Of the road to pursue,
and farmer, would hardly have been
guilty Of such folly.
/ agree with you that your part of
the county needs railroad, and think
Il much better one than the Midland
Company proposes to build. During
my residence in Rochester. / labored to
procure such a road built and was per-
sonaily at the expense and trouble of
having u desert ption Of the country be-
tween Rochester and St. Paul placed in
the hands Of influential directors of the
Pennsylvania Central Company, which
l, at one time, hoped would take hold
of the Davenport and St. Paul line.
also placed the subject before the H.
inois Central Company. I believe that
the Davenport road will yet be built, and
l will certainly do what l can to favor
its building.

| confess that I have go confidence in
the Midland enterprise, and from my
inquiries into the subject am satisfied
that narrow-guage roads will never
prove satisfactory. They cannot be more
than mere cross roads, or "feeders" to
standard guage roads, and 1 really look
upon your proposed bonus to the Mid
land as poor investment. have not,
however, said even this much, in print
at any time. But have said that I be-
lieve this Midlaod road would be of ad-
vantage to your section Of the country.
I still think it would, but this does not
prevent my believing that the north and
south road would be far more adyanta-
geous.
AS for public bonuses to railroads,
have always opposed the principle and
always shall. My opposition began
with the Illinois Central, and have
never since found any good reason to
change my opinion. I would certainly
prefer to have railroad from your Sec
ton terminate here, for the very same
selfish reason that you folks want it to
pass through Zumbcota. Thanking

hear from you often OF any side of any
subject, I am,
