LIME AND BACTERIAL LIFE
IN THE SOIL.

It is important to know what con-
ditions in the soil are the most favor
uble for the development OF that life
in the soil called bacterial. 1t has
been found that acid soils are unfer-
tile, not because there is an INSULT
cient amount of fertility contained in
them, but because these organisms,
which are digesters of plant food, can
not grow and thrive in them. 1t has
been found by actual experiment that
where no lime was applied the num-
Der of bacteria have diminished,
whereas, by the application OF 1,OOO
pounds of lime per acre, they have
increased in one gram OF soil, within
the space of seven weeks, from 7O3,
600 to 2,07G,00O; and where 1000
pounds of lime were applied, they
have increased 504 900 to 6,3O2, 900.
Before plants can feed on the organ
ic matter in the manure, and i'll crops
ploughcd down, that organic matter
must be broken down or dccomposcd.
This decomposition is effected by the
action of fermcnts or bacteria, and
nothing has been found that will SO
help along this bacterial action as
lime. 1t promotes the changing OF
dormant nitrogen into the available
nitrogen; it improves the physical
nature of the soil; it corrccts the ccid-
ity and supplies the mineral element
necessary for the wcll-bcing of these
organisms.
Not only is the sweet condition of
the soil necessary for the action of
these bacteria ON the organic matter
of the soil, but it is just as essential
to the life and the operation of the
bacteria in forming nodulcs on the
roots of the clover plants, and iii OBJ
tanning nitrogen directly from the air
and incorporates it with the struct-
ure of the clover plants. So the lime
does not only assist in the prepara-
ton of plant-food in the soil, but also
in the accumulation of this food,

The Lucky Farmer.

The man who wrestles with the cow and
learns the calves to suck, who casts the
corn before the swine, is now in great
est luck for buffers On the upper grade,
veal's higher than kite, pork is climb
ing up the scale and beef is out of sight ;
eggs he gathers every day from his Po-
land chicken coop are almost worth their
weight in gold and we are in the soup
His corn brings him fancy price, it's
rising every day, and he rakes in all kinds
of mon for half load Of hay. The farm
er is in the saddle and when he comes to
town the rest of us by right should go
way back and sit down.
