Lime In Agriculture.

The Journal Of Foresry briefly sums up
many Of the uses Of lime when applied 10
the soil. The effects OF lime, as will be
seen, are in part mechanical and in part
chemical.
l. Upon deep alluvial and clay soil it
increases the crop Of potatoes, ndrenders
them less waxy. Sprinkled over potatoes
in q store heap 1t preserves them, and
when riddled over the cut sets 1t wonder
fully increases their fertility.
2. Lime eradicates the flnger-and.toe
disease in turnips, and gives greater
soundneas to the bulbs.
8. It gives, when applied 10 meadow
land, larger produce OF more nutritious
grasses. II also exterminates coarse and
sour grasses, destroys couch grass, and
acts powerfully upon rye grasses.
4. Upon arabic lands 1t destroys weeds
Of various kinds.
s. It rapidly decomposes vegetable
matter, producing large amount Of
food for plants in the form OF carbonic
acid gas.
Q. It destroys or neutralizes the acids
in the soils; hence its adaptability to sour
soils.
Z. It acts powerfully upon some Of the
inorganic parts OF the soil, especially on
the sulphate Of iron found in peaty
soils, and the sulphate Of magnesia and
alnmina. ..
s. It proves fatal to worms and slugs,
and the larve OF injurious insects,
though favorable 10 the growth OF she'll
bearers.
0. Stacked lime added to vegetable mat
ter causes it to give off its nitrogen in the
form OF ammonia. Upon soils in which
ammonia is combined with acids, 1t sets
free the ammonia, which is seized upon
by the plants.
10. It's solubility in water causes it to
sink into and ameliorate the subsoil
When the soil contains fragments OF
granite or trap rocks, lime hastens their de-
composition and liberates the silicates.
IL. Its combination with the acids in
the soil produces saline compounds, such
as potash, soda, etc.
Y. Strewed over your plants, 1t des.
troys or drives away the turnip fly.
Is. Worked in with grass feeds, tho
beneficial effects Of lime, chalk, mari, and
shell sand have been visible for thirty
years.
IA. Applied to the rot heap, lime ef-
destroys the seeds Of weeds.

NRw YoRk, February 9.-Corneliui
]. Vanderbilt applied to Judge Donohue
to have his brother VIM. H., removed as
trustee from the trust Imposed on him,
and Edwin D. Worcerter, by the execution
Of the trust deed made by Vim. II. Van
derbilt in the settlement Of the one million
dollar suit, and all other litigation between
him and Cornelius. The latter's petition
sets out that he and William are the sole
surviving sons OF the late Cornelius Van
derbilt, and that the activities OF
the business are essential to his
health and comfort, and having
paid out greater portion O.. what he has
received In settlement Of old debts he
has not enough to properlyicarry on
business. That by trust deed he is only
allowedinterest on the money invested,
and that the securities which represent 1t,
having now reached their highest value,
ard being overrated on account OF the con-
nection OF VIM. II. with them, he main-
tains that they should be sold, and he
asks that one-half OF the four hundred
thousand dollars invested be paid him.
He stated that his brother Is worth over
one hundred million dollars, and that his
receiving the money asked for would work
no injury TO any one. ,ls.a
The petition further states and sets
forth fully, the letter written by the petit
toner to VIM. H., which states the above
facts, and also the reply of the letter de.
nying the application, and on that ground
he appeals to the court. In the trust deed,
OF which Edwin D. Worcester Is trustee,
1t gives to- Cornelius during life, the in.
come OF the following property: 1,500
shares at 500 each, OF New York Central
stock; 1000 shares at $500 each, Of cap.
ital stock OF the New York and Harlem r.
R.; 100000 OF 3 and s per cent bonds OF
the Canada Southern Railway, due in
1908, and S5SO00 Of second mortgage ]
per cent bonds OF the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern Railway Company,
due in 1908. l,..,.-
There Is also clause stating that on
consent OF William q. and Cornelius Van
derbilt and trustee, the trust may termin-
ate and the principal paid to Cornelius.
Judge Donohue denies the application,
and gives lengthy opinion in which he
July reviews the facts as stated.

Keep your nails pared, and keep paired
yourself. Single blessedness is an empty
mockery.
Part your hair neatly. Part your for
tune fairly.
Toe out, not in; especially, Il you are
an employer, you would do better TO turn
out your feet than your hands.
Keep your face cleanly shaved, and stop
there. Don't shave your customers.
Don't talk with your mouth filled with
food; and there Is no call for your talking
much under normal conditions.
Keep your clothing well brushed. II
you have no brush, tell your wife how
you long for your mothers cookery, and
you will have one instanter.
See that your collar button is secure be-
fore you leave home in the morning. Else
you will find your choler Erising before
night.
When talking, don't keep fumbling your
face, as though you were lingering mu-
sical instrument.
Don't smoke in the presence OF ladies.
This does not apply to the. meerschaum
and brier pipes your lady friends have
given you from time to time. Smoke in
these ladies' presents as often as you
please.
Don't walk the streets with your cane or
umbrella thrust under your arm at right
angles with your body. The policeman
may take you for cross and take you up.
Don't interrupt person in his talk.
The natural limit OF mans life is threescore
years and ten, and he can't go on forever.
Never put your knife in your mouth.
The mouth is very poor place to keep n
knife. Apt to make It rusty.
Don't tuck your napkin under your shirt
collar. The waiter may think you would
steal 1t.
Never say "I won't" even II 1t be your.
want to feel that way.
Don't speak SO low that you have TO be
ssked to repeat everything that you have
said. The second time OF saying thing
will frequently impress you with It's Hat
ness. lI, III.
Don't speak se loud that everybody's
ears are outraged. 1t may iniure your
