LIME IN AGRICULTURE.

Pure lime. where it is not mingled
with clay, sand. and other organic
and inorganic substances, consists OF
the oxide of the metallic element
calcium, and, entering into the COM
position of all plants, must occupy a
large place in natures labOratOr. 1t
has an affinity and carbonic acid; when
applied to the land it absorbs water,
forming hydrate of lime; this hydrate
then absorbs carbonic acid. SO that
lime, although applied to the land In
the caustic state. really exists, shortly
after its application, in the form OF
carbonate. along with little sulphate
and phosphate, as previously mention
ed. Lime has for long time been
used as a fertilizer; when land prevl
ouslv unworked is brought into cult
walton. or when WORKOUT pasture
land is broken up. lime is general,
applied. 1t affects chiefly tn
vegetable matter contained in thu
soil. promoting its decomposition ant
thus rendering it available as plan
food. We, however, find its actor
important on some Of the minera
nts-decomposing insolubl
silicates, the result being soluble.

MONSTERS OF ThEDEEP

Prof. Richard A. Proctor is inclined
to believe the tale which modern mar
liners are telling about the monster
sea-serpent which coils about spearm
whales in mid-ocean. He reminds the
public that monstrous cuttlefish were
thought to be mOn,trOuS lies. till the
Alecton. in 1851, came upon one and
captured it's tail, whose weight OF for
ty pounds led naturalists to estimate
the entire weight Of the creature at
1000 pounds, or nearly couple OF
tons. In 1858, again, two fisherman
encountered gigantic cutie in Con
ception Bay. Newfoundland, whose
arms were about thirtyfive feet in
length 1.-THE fisherman cut off from one
arm piece twenty-five feet long)
while it's body was estimated at sixty
feet in length and five feet in diameter

and bruises the bark and tender woody
fiber. This is the only damage done
by the locust. 1t kills the twig, but
never the tree. Orchards are thus
damaged by them.
The only successful method of fight
ing locusts yet recommended is the
breaking off of these twigs before the
eggs have time to hatch. In three or
four weeks the newly Matched grubs
drop to the ground, and burrOw be-
meath the surface. This, is the opinion
Of the eutomologist cOnversed with,
is their true home. 'sThey were,' he
said, created to be grubs. They live
in the earth seventeen years feeding
on vegetable matter, and only reap
pear on the surface to reproduce their
kind after the law of their being.
They do not eat above ground.
One Of the curious impressions pre-
vailing along some of the New Jersey
farmers is that the locusts have come
to make way with the potato bugs.
The natural enemy Of the locust is
the handsome black and gold wasp
called the digger. It's method is to
paralyze the locust with sting, and
then to carry it to its hole inthe ground.
Having deposited it there, it does not
eat it, deposits it's egg in the locust's
! body. The young of. the wasp when
Matched feed upon the locust, which
dies under their ravages. These
, wasps are smaller than the locusts,
and cannot carry them far. The gen.
tlemaA above quoted recently hearda
loud noise on the ground near him
. and discovered that a wasp had just
} conquered it's victim. The locust lay
+ helpless on it's back. Then the wasp
a straddled him lengthwise, just as a
high-wheeledb boiler wagon drives over
J boiler, and graphing him with two
y of it's legs, Struggled along the earth
e with it toward the trunk of a tree.
e The wasp was evidently unable to rise
y with it from the earth. 1t, could,
t however, crawl up the bark of the tree
G to high limb. When it had done sc
e it took a good start, and sailed away
:. through the air with it's heavy burden,

OPPOSITION TO MACHINERY.

We are informed. says Capital and

be prepared and fitted together with

number of wheels could be turned out
strictly to gauge. Some of the men
engaged i'm this department were
ready enough to work the machine
bv which their own labor was tighten
ed, and higher wages were secured te
them. But as the use of the machine
was contrary to the trade union rules
| the men were ordered to deslst. Iht
machinery was therefore put aside
Since that time wheels made by SINH

way by which the public requirement
for the light and strong wheels coul'
