MARI as Manure.

s. A bulletin of the Virginia Experf-
ment Station says: Mari is the name
which is applied to a variety of earthly
deposits OF varying composition con-
tanning a considerable per cent of car
Donate of lime. 1t forms a very valu-
able addition to our list OF natural fer
tilizers. While its fertilizing value is
Increased very largely by the percent
age OF phosphate of lime and of pot
ash. its chief constituent is carbonate
OF lime, which gives to it its main
value. When applied to the soil lime
Affects 1t in different ways and there
are several points to be considered in
its use. 1t may be regarded somewhat
rs direct plant food. as we'll as a
chemical agent acting upon the organic
matter OF the soil and various mineral
constituents Of which the soil is coIn-
posed. Another important property
10 the mechanical action which 1t ex-
erts upon the soil. II applied to a light
sandy soil 1t makes it less porous and
less inclined to part with its moisture,
while on the other hand, when applied
to q wet, clayey soil it tends to make
It more porous and more easily work
ed. Notwithstanding the fact that
large quantities of lime are consumed
By plants It is not usually regarded as
. fertilizer to be added to the soil, for
the reason that the soil is usually abun-
dainty supplied with it. 1t, however,
has the power of making available the
compounds of potash and soda from
their insoluble combinations. The
former of these substances Is certainly
Of great importance In the growth of
plants. Lime also decomposes organic
matter in the soil and renders it avail
able for plant food. Organic acids,
such as humic, ETC., tend to be formed
In lands which are very rich in vege-
table matter and these acids in con-
ceotrated form are poisonous to the
growth Of plants. The application of
lime to such soil not only corrects
this acidity but liberates a large
amount Of plant food. BY lime is usu-
ally meant the burnt limestone. Lime
stone and mari contain calcium car
Donate, which is easily changed by
burning to quick lime or calcium oxide
BY the loss Of carbon dioxide gas. II
Is, however, not always best to do this
for agricultural purposes as much la
Dor and expense are involved in the
process.

Target pieces being about the size Of
small pea, and from that down to

the ashes make the crops or the ma

the use of the sawdust holding the

Turkey Gospel.

The first clutch of eggs laid by
turkey are seldom fertile, and If by
chance few are they invariably hatch
out weakly poults and crippled ones,
no matter whether the eggs were plac-
ed under hen or in an incubator, says
Poultry Journal. The second clutch
laid do quite often hatch very we'll,
but the poults are not so strong as
the ones Matched from eggs laid by
two-year-old hen. If the young tur-
key hens can have their entire liberty
and can forage at will there will be
quite q difference in the vitality of the
poults. OF naturally roaming dispo-
sition they are better contented, do
better in every way, are not so liable
to disease and the results are in every
way more satisfactory if you allow
them to follow this instinct of rowing
at will in search of living. II tho
hen should select a nest in some out
of-the-way place, don't NEEDLE, just
let her alone, and do not allow your
self to be unnecessarily nervous over
it. Turkeys can stand great deal Of
letting alone" and they hatch more
poults and stronger ones by such treat
ment. l shouldn't advise anyone to
move a brood turkey unless it was an
old one and accustomed to being han
died by its owner. The second cause
is lice: they will kill more poults
and do 1t quicker than any other one
thing.
Corn Cribs Lay nc Eggs.-A farmer
made the remark to me short time
ago, that he did not like the Buzz
Cochin as a farm fowl on account of
their laziness, and being so easily
caught by hawks and coyotes
(wolves). His neighbor's reason for
disliking them was something like
this: His wife's half sisters hus-
bands brothers wife once had them.
and they never laid an egg, although
she had them six or seven years. and
fed them all the corn they could eat
all the time" She certainly tried to
make corn cribs of her Buff Cochins.
A corn crib won't lay many eggs.-Ex.
