LIME AND GYPSUM.

whep Lime Proves Beneficial - Benefits
Derived From Gypsum-How 70 Apply.
(Which is the better for ordinary
land, lime or plaster, and will lime and
plaster do better as top dressing or when
plowed under? How much of either
should be used per acre?" Here are
queries Of general interest. They are an
swered as follows by Country Gentle
man:
Lime is likely to prove most benefi-
cial il there is an abundance Of vegeta-
bic matter (humus) in the soil, as it
tends not only TO make available the
nitrogenous compounds, but the miner
al constituents as we'll, and It nearly
always improves the physical condition
or texture Of the land. Twenty to 40
bushels Of lime per acre are fairly lib
eral dressing, though 100 bushels would
do no harm, but would probably exceed
the most profitable limit Of application.
Gypsum Gland plaster) increases the
power Of the soil to absorb ammonia
from the air, but the air contains 30 lit
tie ammonia that the beneficial effect Of
the plaster in this direction is very
small. The benefits derived from an ap-
plication Of gypsum, If fairly pure and
finely ground, are sometimes very re-
markable. II acts on the double silioates
that is, breaks them down and liber-
ates potash. Clovers are always benefit
ed by available potash hence even q
light application Of gypsum on Glover
lands frequently produces marked re-
suits. But one to two bushels per acre
are applied at a time. because it re-
quires relatively large quantities Of wa
ter to dissolve the gypsum; so IL is
good economy to use a light dressing
yearly, as the chances are that II large
quantity is used it will fail to produce
beneficial results for want Of moisture
to dissolve it.
Gypsum is best sown broadcast in
early spring on clover and meadow land,
or it may be mixed with an equal guam
tity Of ashes or commercial fertilizers
and distributed in the hill or drill and
mixed with the soil where corn, pota-
toes and like crops are to be planted,
or it may be scattered around the hills,
after the plants are we'll through tho
ground, at the rate Of two or three table,
spoonfuls to the hill.

Wonderful Cures Said to BAvs Bssn
Wrought by Prayer.
1t is claimed that through the instru-
mentality Of the Rev. Mr.. Senft and
other members of the Christian Alliance
in Altoona, Pa, 40 miract bus faith
cures have been effected within the last
three years.
The latest subject is Miss Gertie Gin
ger. It is claimed that not only her par
ents, but her grandparents as well, died
with slow consumption, and that she
was so i'll with the same disease as to be
unable to raise her hands and her death
was momentarily expected.
In answer to prayer, she was enabled
to leave her bed, put ON her clothing and
walk out among her friends, with the
announcement that she had been cured
by the Lord.
This is said to have occurred on Mon
day, and Miss Ginger has been improv-
ing every day since and has resumed her
accustomed work. New York Recorder.

A New York correspondent of Coun-
try Gentleman who had 700 bushels Of
dry corn to husk engaged a man who
owns am ordinary grain separator and
engine to do the work. This did it to
perfection, with the exception of crack
ing the corn slightly; but that is no OBJ
lection if you wish to feed it. 1t may
seem that IL requires considerable help
to execute the work, though eight men
are sufficient to thrash that quantity in
a day. But if you consider that at this
operation you are husking, shelling, get
ting corn in barn, also getting fodder in
barn and all shredded, which is better
than cutting it, as cattle will eat it all
up, you viii not fail to see a saving Of
labor and time also. It has thrashed per-
fectly clean and has proved satisfactory.

NEW YORK, Feb 96. The capture Of
the steamship Bermuda by federal officers,
reported In these dispatches yesterday, is
q serious setback for the cause Of Cuban
Independence. The exped ton was by
far the largest and best equipped yet plan.
ned by Cuban sympathizers In this coun-
try TO assist General Gomez and his brave
men in their struggle for freedom.
Undoubtedly the Cubans had been be.
trAysd, for instructions were sent from
Washington several days ago TO watch
General Garcia and his lieuteDants and
accidentally the steamer Bermuda.
Besides the arms captured were four bags
Of silver, containing $4,000 in Spanish
soils and pesos, and the tags on the bags
showed that they had been put up by Han
dy 4 Harmon, brokers, Of 80 Nassau street.
In all 161 men were arrested. They
were ali taken TO the federal building and
discharged by Commissioner Shields with
che exception Of flve Those arrested and
held, accused Of violating the neutrality
Law, are;
General CalixtO Garcia, leader Of the ex-
pSditiOn.

Cuban junta
Captain Samuel Hughes OF the tusboat

Captain John Brabazon, in command

General Calixto Garcia has been con-
dsmned to die twice by the SpaniArds, but
each time he escaped. He Is 90 years old.
He took part In the meetings In which the
plans for the revolution of 1858 were laid.
With Marmal and $50 men he captured
three towns in nine hours on Dot. 1B, 1858.
In that revolution he was in command Of
the eastern district. He directed the bat
ties of Corteyal, Bayamo, Larzal and the
desperate struggle at Santa Maria. He
will lead another expedition as soon as op-
portunity offers, for he is a patriot to the
backbone and does not know fear
At the offices of the junta, SO Broad
way, It looked blue yesterday. The offices
were crowded with Cuhans and their sym
pAthizers. They all refused TO talk about
the raid.
I'VE did not authorize the expedition, ="
they said, land we did not know anything
about Il until we saw the stories in the
papers. We know General Garcia by repu-
tatiOn, but we did not know that he In
tended TO start an expedition. The expe-
ditiOn was . private one, and we had

forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish
during the Winter, Just like all nature,
and the system becomes choked up by
the accumulated waste, which brings on

will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS

LIVER REGULATOR which makes the
difference. Take it in powder or in liquid
