Lining Land.

AS some may wish to apply lime
a1ew general suggestions will not be
out OF place. Although its action
has not been clearly defined, it
is sufficient to say, that when applied
on heavy clay lands at tie rate of
from thirty to fifty bushels per acre,
the effect is invariably good. On
light and sandy soils, twenty to TWEEN.
ty-five bushels are sufficient. Soils
rich in vegetable matter are the most
benefited by its application. It is
especially valuable on turfy, DOGGY
soils, such as without it's use would
be unfit for farming purposes. When
ever used on light soils, care should
be taken that heavy crop of green
fodder or clover be turned under pre-
vlous to applying the lime on the sur
face. Where manure is used in con-
nection with lime the manureis buried
in the soil and after quite an interval
the lime is applied broadcast on the
surface. This relation between the
two substances is held, because it is
conceived that, as manure has nat
ural tendency to rise to the surface
and fine to descend, this is the prop
er relation they should bear in the
SOIL. In Europe where lining land
constitutes an important part Of good
farming, caustic lime, fresh from the
kiln is carried to the fields, put in
heaps and covered with earth. A
few weeks will suffice for it to be-
come air-slaked and fall to pieces, thus
being made fit for use. In the work.
ing of heavy clay soils, lime is very |
valuable. 1t not only has a chemical |
effect on them by bringing inert sub. |
stances in the soil. into acondition to |
be taken up as food by plants, but it
has mechanical effect also-lighten.
ng the soil and facilitating its work.

Shipping Oranges.

A few days isince we had the
pleasure OF an Interview with G. III.
Norris, OF SpriRg Garden, Volusia
county, on this subject. Mr.. Norris
was returning trbm Chicago, whittier
he had been with a carload Of oran-
ges. lie starteai from Jacksonville
with $4,000 oranges about the Goth
ult., the car arriving in Chicago on
the 27th-seven days on the way.
lie says that 1t Twill not pay to ship
to Chicago unl9ss each shipment is
accompanied by reliable man, to
see to The transferring and immedi-
ate forwarding of the cars by the
various lines OVER which they pass,
and during coli weather to warm
the cars by gas stoves or otherwise,
else the delays i.may be ruinous, or
the intense cold during the Winter
freeze and utterly DESTROY them. At
Jacksonville MI Norris asked the
agent II. ne went on by the express
tram II ne couiR rely upon having
his car forwarded at once, and was
assured that u was all right. He
went on, adverdI Used his oranges to

ings.. However, too much lime in
the absence of the proper amount OF
vegetable matter in the soil, renders
it too rotten, too loose, and incapable
of resisting drouth. In England,
one application, or successive annual
ones, until 24O bushels have been APP
Piled, is deemed sufficient for fifteen
years. A lime compost will ordina-
rily be the best way Of using lime
where the soils have been cropped
with the grains for long series OF
years. A lilny compost may be
made by first placing layer OF lime
six or seven inches in thickness,
spreading over this an equal amount
of manure, and above this another
layer of lime, and above this a Sec
ond layer of lime, finishing with a
layer of road scraplngs and earth.
Such compost will be when inter-
nally mixed, valuable for the spring
grains. When needed for top
dressing of pastures or wheat, add to
every two bushels of lime, one OF salt
not exceeding in quantity four hun
bred pounds of the latter per acre.

Lime Juice Biscuits.

1t is not very satisfactory to tell
about thing without giving direc-
tons for doing it, but this is all we
can do with " lime JUICE" biscuits.
We give the following facts as vouch-
ed for by an English exchange, in case
some of our skilful domestic chemists
may find out for themselves the
method of manufacture which is held
a secret bythe lime,julce biscuit max
ers in England. The value of lime
juice as medical agent and also as
an article of daily diet being now so
fully recognized, it becomes matter
OF Importance that it should be OBJ
tainable in convenient form, agree
able to the taste, and also safe Tor
transport. This object has been &C.
complished in satisfactory maner
by the production Of lime,juice fruit
biscuits, which are manufactured
under patented process recently
discovered for the preservation of the
juices of fruits in their fresh state;
they contain the equivalent of 40 per
cent. of fresh lime juice, condensed in
volume, but unchanged in other re-
spects as to its natural condition.
The condensation of the juice is eff.
fected by TIE elimination of the
greater part of its constitutional wa.
ter, at temperature of about 1909
Fab; by means of scientific prepar-
alton the lime juice of the biscuit pre-
serves its original anti.scorbutic eff.
cheney in even concentrated degree. |

advantage might be. The surface.
should be plowed to keep down the
grass and weeds so that the tree may
have all the food there is in the soil.
All that we can say is, that as a prin-
ciple of culture, those trees are the
healthiest, the largest leaved, every
way the best, which, with plenty Of
food, have their roots the least dis
turbed.
Budding or grating does not
dwarfcn oranges or lemons, unless
dwarf variety happens to be employed
as a scion.-ED. G.. M.
The above letter and reply is cop
led from the Gardeners Monthly and
Horticulturist, of Philadelphia, edited
by Thomas Meehan, who is one of
the standard authorities upon horti.
culture in this country.
We wish particularly to call the
attention of our readers to the state
ment which he makes-that budding
or grating the common orange or
lemon does not dwarf the trees, as we
think this opinion, coming from such
source, carries with it great weight,
if not conviction. ....
awe cannot understand the founda-
ton upon which rests the theory, so
prevalent in California, that by bud
ding we sacrifice the size of tree and
quantity OF fruit for quality. Ger
tainly, experience has not demonstra-
ted this fact, as our trees have not at.
tanned sufficient age to warrant any
such conclusion, for at present our
budded trees are as large as seedlings
of the same age. Among other fruits
the tree is not a dwarf when budded
upon its own stock, and to produce
such a radical change, they have to
bud upon small growing varieties, as
the apple upon the paradise, and the
pear upon the ounce.
We are. informed that in some
parts Of China, the budded asanoe
"a. ' fssts' n. s y ! sa9 dr a.
variety like the Mandarin, or else bud
ded upon some shrub-growing mem
Der Of the citrus family. Possibl,
some OF the imported varieties which
are now growing may prove to be
of a dwarfish habit.
AT the present time we cannot see
that we are in possession of any facts
bearing upon this point with which
to controvert Mr.. Meehan's position

The Senatorships,

Since the last report, other Senators
have been elected. Wisconsin sends
Matt Carpenter back in place OF
How, who has served three terms.
Carpenter was defeated in 1874 by Il
coalition between Democrats and
boilers, who elected Angus Cameron.
Cameron is more Of partisan than
Carpenter was.
The old political hack, John A.
Logan, goes back to the Senate from
Illinois in the place Of Oglcsbv. Two
years ago Logan was defeated Tor re-
election by David Davis, whom the
Republicans made Senator to prevent
his becoming the fifteenth member Of
the electoral commission.
Don Cameron gets back from Penn
sylvania in spite of great dissatisfac-
ton among his own party.
Arkansas and Louisiana arc still
balloting without result.
Voorhees, is elected in Indiana. No
political changes have taken place in
these elections.

Those Cipher Dispatches.

The House has given the Potter
Committee ten thousand dollars to be
expended in investigating the cipher
kilograms. AS our readers may not
remember the circumstances connect
ed with these tclcgrams, we will state
their character briefly. A fcw months
ago tho New York 1ribunc published
a large batch Of kilograms, said to
have boon sent by Manton Marble,
Smith Weed, and other Democrats in
Florida and Georgia, to Pclton and
others in New York, asking if money
could bo procured to buy up the
Returning Boards who had offered to
sell out. These dispatches were all
in cipher, but Mr.. Hazard, Of the
Tribune, succeeded, after several
months oflaborious study, in discover
ing tho key and deciphcring them.
Manton Marble, Tildcn and Hewitt
emphatically denied any knowledge
Of the dispatches. Potion was silent.
a great howl went up from tho Re-
publican party, who tried to conceal
its crime in stealing the Presidency,
by abusing the Democrats for being
asked to do what they themselves did,
by offering rewards Of positions to
the Returning Boards. How these
kilograms were procured by the
Tribune is q mystery, which Mr..
Potter will try to discover. When
Investigations began, President Orton,
Of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, was ordered to turn over all
dispatches that passed over the wires
during the winter Of 1876. Ho re-
fused, but after he and the executive
committee Of tho company wero az
rested for contempt, tho kilograms,
29,50O in number, were placed in n
huge trunk and delivered to Senator
Mortons committee. They were
opened, spread upon the table, and
left night after night unguardcd, the
only prccaution taken being to lock
tho door. 1t Is now claimcd that
some Of tho Republicans gainod access
to the room, examined the tclcgrams,
destroyed the Republican ciphers and
sold the Democratic dispatches to tho
Tribune.
Mr.. Tilden bitterly denies any COM
plicity in the frauds, and demands al
investigation. Mr.. Hewitt made tbs
very sensible point that as tho Re-
turning Boards had their prioo and
Mr.. Tildon the money, tho failure to
buy them proves conclusivcly That hc
was not in that business. A plausible
hypothesis Ia that holders of the pools
at Morrissoy's, representing q million
= dollars, were engaged in this traffic
in order to save their bots. Tho only
result that can accrue from tho dis.
covery Of these cipher dispatches is to
weaken tho strong case tho Demo-
Gratis had as antagonists Of frand, and
the only thing tho investigation can
do is to establish Mr.. Tilden's limo.
cence and help his stock in tho politi.
cal market.
