Don,t Buy Wet Lime.

May 1st, 1899, put lump of dry lime
weighing ia ounces in a box and put it on
the top of desk in my office where it re-
NAMED until September 18th, 1890, when
the lime weighed twenty and four-tenths
ounces, a gain of over one-fourth of its
original weight. The lime had fallen into
small Jumps and the gain was mater, which
it had absorbed entirely from the air in d
dry room This means that you buy over
four ounces of water with every 10 ounces
of fallen lime, peck of water with a
bushel of lime, You buy much more
water as the lime you buy has not been
kept in a dry room, but under an open
shed, where it is exposed to the dampness
at night and to stormy weather. Run of
