Many persons propose to mix ashes
with hen manure. but no material con-
tanning lime, in the form in which it
is contained in ashes, SHOULD be mixed
with moist manure, as the lime will
cause the liberation of considerable
part of the nitrogen In the manure,
and it will escape as ammonia gas.
Ashes and dry hen manure may be
mixed Immediately before applying
the manure, as the ammonia will most
ly be absorbed and held by he soil.

PRINCIPAL EFFECTS OF LIME
Physical Etfects-Heavy, Cloddy
Land Does Not Yield Well.

1t may be said briefly that lime has
two principal effects upon soil. 1t
sweetens sour soil; it improves the
physical effects. Crop will not do
well in sour soil. This is readily
shown in alfalfa and clover, The
leaves turn yellow and the plants look
sickly when the soil is sour. Such soil
needs lime to neutralize the acid.
Heavy, cloddy, clammy soil will not
yield well. Such soil does not easily
admit air and water and does not sup
port soil bacteria so important in a
fertile soil Use lime if you have such
soil.
