their experience teaches them the true
place Of lime in agriculture but often their
lands have been almost exhausted before
they gain their wisdom. While lime has
a value as a plant food. yet its greatest
worth on the farm is due to its physical
effect on the soil itself 1t is very seldom
that a soil does not contain a sufficient
quantity OF lime to furnish this ingredi-
ent as plant food pure and simple
Briefly described. the actions of lime are
as follows: If APPLIED on a sandy soil it
nils up the openings. makes the particles
adhere closer, causes them to retain mois-
ture better, to absorb less heat during the
day and retain more at night. On clay
SOILS II separates the particles, making the
soil porus, thus easier for the passage of
water and air. and therefore makes the
soil warmer and easier to work. Lime
also hastens the decay of vegetable matter
IN the soil, which of course renders the nj
trogen more available. If a soil is sour,
an Application of lime will prevent the
soil from becoming acid. There is one
effect of lime that has no doubt frequently
Deen noticed, although wrong conclusions
nave been drawn from it. 1t has often
been experienced, that an APPLICATION of
lime proves very beneficial to clovers of all
Kinds. 1t was formerly thought that the
lime itself was the only fertilizer needed
for the clover; it is now known, however,
that the beneficial action of the lime upon
clover is due to the fact that the lime lib
crates other plant food in the soil, notably
potash, which is of so much Importance
in successful clover culture. 1t viii be
seen, however, that the continued appli-
cation of lime alone would soon cause the
soil to become exhausted of it's natural
supply, not only potash, but also of phos-
phoric acid and in time the land would
become clover sick, which is a condition
often met with. F. r.

Augusta Flood of 1883.
Augusta, Ga, May "a peculiar case
has just come to light. In the big freshet

Gaines and her daughter were rescued
from their little home on upper Broad
street by Fireman Battle. member OF
Engine Company No. g. which was Just
across the street. AS the boat turned
the corner of Broad and Marbury streets
it was upset. The two women were res
cued, but a valise Mrs. Gaines carried was
lost. She never heard of IL again. 1t con-
tanned nearly $500, half of it in gold and
silver. 1t was found by a negro named
Nelson Curtis. He left 1t at the restau-
rant of Mary Barney a negro woman, at
ll6 Marbury street without opening It.
Mary Barney had more curiosity. She
found the money and appropriated 1t.
When Curtis came back for the valise she
gave him the clothes but never mentioned
the money. She improved her house she
was living in, and bought other property
with her ill-gotten treasure. Recently
she and her husband fell out and she tried
to keep all the property and dismiss him
empty handed. In revenge he has told the
story of her taking the money from the
valise. and legal proceedings have just
been instituted for possession of the prop
erty she bought with the money. Judge
Galloway has granted a temporary re-
straining order, enjoning Mary Barney
from transferring any of the property.
