The farmers north of us are hauling great
deal of lime, proving the value of it which ex-
perience has brought about. There is differ

While some think Is bushels is enough to the
acre, yet so bushels of broken, unslaked lime
is advocated also the application of manure
at the same time. A knowing farmer said
lime should be put on sod land and that it is a
waste of labor and money to apply it to land
that is bare of vegetable matter. -
