The Journal of Forestry briefly sums
up many of the uses Of lime when APP
piled to 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, and
renders them less waXy. Sprinkled
over potatoes in a stOre-heap it pre-
serves them, and when riddled over
the cut sets, it wonderfully increases
their fertility.
?. Lime eradicatcs the fiuger-and-
toe disease in turnips, and gives
greater soundness in the bulbs.
9. 1t gives, when applied to meadow
land, a larger produce of more nutri-
tious grasses. 1t also eXtermlnates
coarse and sour grasses, destroys couch
grass, and acts powerfully upon rye
grasses.
1. Upon arabic land it destroys
weeds of various kinds.
5. 1t rapidly decomposcs vegetable
matter, producing a large amount of
food for plants in the form of carbonic
acid gas.
6. 1t destroys or ncutraliZes the
acids in the soils hence its adapta-
bility to sour soils.
I. IT acts powerfully upon some Of
the inorganic parts of the soil, es-
pecially on the sulphate Of iron found
in peaty soils, and the sulphate of
magnesia and aIumina.
S. 1t proves fatal to worms and
slugs, and the larvae OF injurious in
sects, though favorable to the growth
of shell-beareTs.
8. Stacked lime added to vegetable
matter causes it to give off its nitro
zen in the form of ammonia. Upon
soils in which ammonia is combined
with acids, it sets free the ammonia,
which is seized upon by the plants.
10. It's solubilily in water causes 1t
to sink into and ameliOrate the sub
soil. When the oil contains fragments
Of grant cor trap rocks, lime hastens
their decomposition and libcratcs the
sillicates.
IL. Its combination with the acids
i'm the soil produces saline compounds,
