Lime as a Manure.

Mr.. X. Gordon, of Gordonshire,
Aberdeenshire, Scotland, writes on this
y topic as follows, in the Norh British
A~9ricuAurist. IA
Lime is one of the most important
natural anure we possess, and the
value of its application TO the soil has
been known from very early periods.
The action OF lime as a manure is en-
tirely regulated by the form and man
ner in which it is applied TO the soil.
Quick lime should be used for heavy
and tenacious soils, as well as those
containing a fair quantity of vegetable
matter. On the other hand, il the soil
be light and friable, with little vegeta-
bic matter in il, caustie lime would in
such o case do more harm than good.
Mild limo ought to be used, treated
with a mixture of earth, and exposure
to the atmospheric air, from which It
takes carbonio acid, which takes away
agreat deal Of its caustic properties.
The different circumstances and condi-
ions Of soil will not allow q uniform
practice TO be adopted; but Judgment
n experience ought to regulate the
application OF all manures. Every
farmer should study his " soil, and
thereby he would be able TO avoid tho
misapplication of good manure. Before
thei introduction Of artificial manures,
lime was more universally used than
now, which helps TO account for the
poor crops of clover, and the difficulty
OF raising good turnips. II is essen
tally necessary that a supply of lime
ysn should exist in the soil to meet the re-
quirements of the various crops. Every
cultivated plant needs a supply Of lime
for the proper building up OF It's struc-
ture, aud, in combination with phos-
pboric acid, lime forms q large portion
of tho skeletons Of the animals who
feed upon the crops. A soil may con-
tain large supplies Of every ingredient
which a crop requires. and still be IN
able 70 yield them 10 The plant, they
bong Ia On inactive state, aud it Is only
that portion Of the soil which is soluble
Ia water whiolf IS available as plant
food. Any analysisof q soil which only
tells its composition Is of little value
unless il can show ne active matter
ready 10 be taken up by the crop. Lime
acts upon the dormant matter in the
sol, and Performs tho important func-
ton OF rendering these active. Clay

Patience and sslf.contrOl.


The late Professor Elihu Root, OF Am.
harst, was q man Of rare patience and
self-control. Among others no was en-
gagged in the investigation OF tho inten4
stiles OF dieiectric polarization through
crystalline media, hoping to obtain q
confirmation of Maxwells eleetro-mag-
netic theory of light. For the purpose
he not only constructed an apparatus
with which he could change the direction
of the electric current 600 per second,
but becoming convinced that he needed
as A sourceuf electricity a. battery Of 2
great many colls-eveu though small
indvidnally--he gave up his vacation TO
its construction. He prepared q battery
of 0,Oe0 cells as follows; Securing two
tall chests Of shallow drawers he filed
them with melted p~aFaline, On its be-
coming hard, he bored out witha an auger
10000 holes in parallel rows. In each
OF these holes he placed a small glass
test tube, and In each tube strips OF zinc
and copper, their contact being pre-
vented by a piece OF cotton. The cells
and drawers were then al. connected
together. After two months of hard
labor the task was completed and DIR.
Root promised some friends to take n
short trip 10 the Hartz Mountains before
the commencement Of his experiment.
The day before he was 90 leave, the
writer visited Professor Kelmholts's
laboratory with him to see the battery.
One of Professor Kelmholtz's assistants
vas examining the work when he en-
tered. and had pulled out several of the
upper drawers. Pulling out one too
many, the whole case fen over with a
crash, dragging the others withiE Ina
moment the work OF weeks was a con-
fused mass OF broken glass and tangled
wires! Not a word of rebuke or anger
escaped Professor Root. He removed
his coat and then and there began to
melt aud strain the paraiine TO free It
from broken glass. Six waeks' hard
labor repaired the damage. and enabled
him TO begin the experiments at the
commencement 81 the winter semester.

"Where ignorance is bliss tits folly
to be wise," and perhaps the Turkish
woman is, through ignorance, as happy
as her occidental sisters. But what
would the women Tor the men either for
that matter) of England and America
say il they had to exist-for it cannot be
called living-under the laws of Turkey,
where code of rules has recently been
drawn up by the Ministry of Police for
the guidance of women? They are not
permitted to wear wells in the more pub
lie streets of Constantinople, and they
are excluded entirely from certain thor
oughfares. They cannot enter the Grand
Bazaar, aud are not allowed to sit in the
shops Two or three of them meeting
on the street are not permitted to stop
and chat together; they must "move
on" Worst of all, no man is allowed 70
address woman while out of doors.
Think of this They can't talk together,
and n man mustn't talk TO them. So far
as their out-of-door walks are concerned.
they must go through life mumchance.
The man who violates this rule is liable
to punishment under the Criminal Code.
IL is matter for wonder why even the
Turks will submit to such barbaric gov
ernment, but the Turk Is fatalist who
takes things as they come. - Boston
