way, it is found very useful, some
think Indispensable, toapply the actual
lime to the soil. 1880 tf
It's not much of n job to make lime.
The limestone may be put in heap
with wood or coal, and wall built up
around the heap to confine the heat
The fuel being fred, the stone is made
into lime in three or four days. But
this is a costly way, and thus where
there is demand for the lime, kilns
are used, some temporary ones, but lit
tie improved on the heaps, or clamps,
as they are called, and some strong
structures called permanent kilns of
which the cut is an example. This is
made of any kind of hard stone, and
lined with fire brick. 1t is egg-shaped,
because as the limestone is burned, and
the coal or wood used as fuel is con-
sumed, the bulk decreases, and thus
what will fill the belly of the kiln,
only fills the throat at the bottom.
This kiln may have three or four
threats or openings for drawing out
the lime, but each is made in the way
shown. The lime w hen it reaches the
bottom being fully burned, is drawn
out into the hearth a, through the
opening into the kiln, b. In burning
the stone is broken into convenient
size for handling, and way is made to
the top of the kiln, which is most often
built in a bank. A small sloping track
is sometimes made to the top of the
kiln, and a platform around it, so that
the small cars Of lime and fuel may be
drawn up and dumped into the kiln.
The fire is started in the bottom
by filling in dry wood; on this
10 laid other wood, from the
tn.oat, then more fuel, wood or coal
the cheap slack being used), is dumped
in at the top, then some lime, and then
alternately fuel and limestone until
the kiln is full, when 1t is fred, and
goes on day after day as long as lime
is required. About the third day, the
lime is ready for raking out, which is
done with long iron bars with a right
angled hook at the end. It is only
necessary to start it, when it fills the
hearth, where it is left to cool When
1t is taken out, more lime comes down,
or if it lodges, the hook is used to
loosen It. After the kiln is first
charged, the stone sinks down steadily,
and as this is always to be kept heaped
at the mouth, as soon as 1t has sunk
down to a level, a fresh supply is
heaped up. AS. the fumes from the
kiln consist of carbonic acid, which is
deadly gas when breathed, it is neces-
sary for the man in charge of feeding
the kiln, to keep on thewindward side,
so that the gas is blown away from
him. Rural New Yorker.

Timothy and Clover Compared.

Timothy and clover, says the New
York Times, has been standard mix
ture for hay, and pasture after 1t, and
in some localities, as where the sum-
mers are comparatively cool, it does
very well. But where the summer
heat is greater, the timothy does not
mature as soon as the clover, and un-
less the clover is cut too late the tim
othy is not ready for cutting. Thus it
is better to use an earlier grass, as or
chard grass, which is in its best condi-
ton for cutting at the same time that
the clover is. Another advantage as
to this grass is that 1t is far more
permanent than timothy, and after the
clover has run out it will occupy the
land for many years, certainly thirty
or forty, with good management, as,
for instance, frequent top dressings
with manure, and some new seed, to
be covered in with harrow, the har-
rowing being done after the manure
has been spread, so that The seed is
covered and the manure broken and
spread at the same time.

Sure Sign OF Coming Wind.

Says an old Pennsylvania farmer: II
all ays know when there is to be a
windstorm by watching the turkeys
and chickens -gos to roost each night.
In calm weather the fowls always
roost on their poles with their heads
alternating each way; that is, one
faces east, the next west, and so on.
But when there is going to be high
wind they always roost with their
heads toward the direction from which
1t is coming. There are reasons for
these different ways of roosting, I
take it. When there Is no wind to
guard against they can see other
danger more readily If they are head
ed in both directions, but when wind
is to arise they face it because they
can hold their positions better. But
the part can't understand" he con-
cluded, sis how the critters know that
