Quicklime can also net as a decorr.pwcr and wlcent of mineral substances. It causes, for instance, an unlocking of the iniuoral constituents of tho soil, the pro ducts of which (silioa, potash, &c.) can then be consumed as food by tho plants growing upon it. The experience that liming pre eminent favors the formation tjf hntiUr, ami gives the straw of the Ce real-: great stiffness, is explained by this in the KOit simple manner : It is not the lime which produces this, but the mineral substances rendered soluble and therefore assimilable by the lime above all the silica The results of these ex periments at the same time confirm the correctness of the opinion that the far ipcr need not pay any attention to silica in manuring, since it exists almost every where in sufficient quantity in the soil, but that-he need only take care that there shall not be a deficiency of its solcentt, and of the-eonditions which fa vor its solution. Thus, lime is a power ful means of assisting the oxygenation, or weathering, of stony %nd earthy con* stitucnts of the soil; it, therefore, forms an aid to those bodies, and fo-ces such an uir, water, carbonic acid, (humus,) heat ) &c., which carry on this process ol de composition everywhere in acting inde pendently of human interference. In a heavy soil, this natural weathering can, of course, only proceed slowly, because the tenacity obstructs the access of air and the production of carbonic acid from humus. When, therefore, experience saya that lime proves far more favorable in heavy than in light soils, it might cer tainly be deduced from the proceeding statement, that its chemical act'on, now under consideration, may claim an essen tial share in the beneficial effects in the first case. Lime form 3 a necessary constituent of ali plants: if not present in sufficient quantity in the soil, the growth of veg» etation is poor; therefore, lime may act favorably in ecrtain cases by supplying this deficiency. By far the majority of eoilg contains lime abundantly sufficient for the requirements of the nutrition and development of plants; and, if manur ing is performed regularly and properly, there cun still be a want of such kind, since stable manure, alone, conveys into the soil more lime than is removed from it even in very abundant crops ; cultiva ted soils rathei grow continually riche r in lime, and plants, which consu'-nc very much lime in (heir development, cspec ially if grown in frequent succession in the same field, will naturally lead much sooner to au exhaustion of the liuie oi the soil, than those plants, which take up lime moderately. Carbonate of lime is far less coherent in texture, and is of no looser nature tha n clay or loam, so that it has the power of improving tenacious soils mechanically by rendering them less tough and solid; and hence,more porous and open. Quick lime changes into carbonate of lime by degrees in the soil, and will then conse quently act in the same way. iiVhen mixed with sand, ou the contrary, it ren ders this more coherent and close. Lime also impart" mixtures of earths, as is shown by saltpetre beds, the power of converting nitrogeu, of putrefying and decaying vegetable and animal sutatan res into nitric acid which enters into com bination with the lime to form nitrate of limo. According to some experiments mode in England, lime is supposed to in crease the power of earths to absorb am poniu from the atmosphere, and to con tribute indirectly, by the decomposition of awmoniacal salts in the soil, to a fix> atioa of ammonia by the clay and silica. Quicklime absorbs carbonic acid gas from the atmosphere and from the soil, passing in the operation into the milJ condition of corbonatu of lime. Possibly, this also may afford assistance to the growth of plants. Lastly, it has bevn observed that the development of plants proceeds somewhat more rapidly in soils manured with lime, *o that they run more quickly through the period from germination to maturity on unlimed laud. Such an aotion upon the duiation of vegetation would be a recommendation of lime for agriculture in northern, elevated and exposed dis tricts. CHALK. Chalk is another form of carbonate of lime that occurs very abundantly in many countries, and which, frc in its soft,earthy nature, has been extensively! applied to the land in many parts of England with oat burning. It is usually dug up from the pile, toward the elose of autuwu or beginning of winter, when full of water, tad Jaid upon the land in heaps. ing the winter's fiost, the lumps of chalk fell to pieces, and are readily spread over the fields in spring. The quantity iaid on varies with the quality of the soil,and of the ehalk itself, ond with the more or lees perfect pxjjujbling it undergoes dur ing the season of wintor, uud with jjsc purpose it is intended to serve. It gives tenacity and •townee* te gravelly eojjf, j opens and imparts frcenew to stiff clay?, and adds firmness to sucli as are of a sandy nature. If a physical improve mcnt of this kind be required, it is laid on at t!je rate of from 400 to 1,000 bush els to an aye- liut some chalks contain much more clay than others, and are em ployed, therefore, in smaller proportions. For the improvement of coarse, sour, marshy pasture, it is applied at the rate of from 150 to 250 busjj ls to an acre, and speedily bring up h sweet and deli cate herbage. It is also said to root out sorrel from lands which are infested with j this plant. Thiso effesU are precisely I such as usually follow from the applica ' tion of marl, and. like the rcpeti | tion of chalk exhausts the land, if ma nure be not afterward added to it in suf ; ficient quantity. Afjplitatimi of 1 ime to Linid. —lt has already been observed that liuie, from its nature, must act botl. a.; a stimulant ncd as a manure, while it makes the earth exert itself in the nourishment of veg etables, in eoac measure, enriches it,and udds to the vegetable food. In some lands, the dissolving ot the vegetable food, and fitting it for entering th? root lets of plants, may be most beneficial.— In others,the communication of the pow er of attracting the vcgetaDle fool from the air may have an equally good effect. It will not be improper, therefore, to point out how lime is to be applied, so that it may chiefly answer ot,e or the other of these purposes. In uncultivated land, in whiph there, is a large quantity of vegetable remains, lime ought to be used chiefly as a stimu lus sand when improved land needs a recruit of vegetable fjod, it ought chief ly be used as a manure. When thus in'ended as a stimulus, a large quantity should be applied at once, in an unslak ed or half slaked state , for it takes a considerable quantity to dissolve rootlets, and other vegetable substances in the soil and to produce the necessary degree of fermentation. When intended as a ma nure, a small quantity applied at a time is sufljeieot. It is probttb.Se that it re quires only a small quantity of lime to impregnate a large quantity of ear;li,and communicate to it an absorbent quality in as high a degree as it is capable ol receiving; and it is certain that it is in proportion to the absorbent power which it communicates, that the soil is enriched by it, This is not mere conjecture. It is certain that a small quantity cf lime will impregnate a large quantity of water, aud communicate to it all its virtues, and these in as high a degree, too, as }t is ca' pablc of receiving. The benefit to be derived from lime greatly depends, however, upon the na» turc and the state of t(ie soil. Strong lands are much improved, for two or three crops, by this stimulant; but frequent repetition will not have the same good client, unless the land iu the iotefiuj has been placed under a clover or other meeu crop, by whioh vegetable matter will be introduced for the lime to act upon The deficiency of vegetable matter in light soiis is one reasQQ w t,y lime docs not alwajs act upon them beneficially; and it should therefore be used very sparingly ou those soils, with an interval of six or seven years between each lim ing. Indeed, it is often as necessary to change the mode of manuring land, as it is to change the crops to be cultivated ; and it is from not sufficiently attending to this, that arable farms have become deteriorated, whilst the farmer fancied that he was doing great justice to the land by liming every third or fourth year But let the introduction of a green crop ' e tried in such a case, and he will af tcrward find that his grain crops increase and his land is in better heart. Some persons thinlc, from witnessing its first-effects, that they can always have recourse to lime with the same success ; but in this, they will assuredly be disap pointed; once in five, six, or seven years, according to the nature of the laud, is as often as lime can be applied with advan 'age- It may bo proper to observe, likewise, that, when lime is applied in small quan tities, as a manure, it is necessary to re peat the applioation frequently; it is probable that the soil loses its absorbent property communicated by the lime; for experience proves that, if lime is fre quently used, it must be applied as a manure, and not simply as a stimulant; and to this end, it mujt be compounded with earth, clsy, and matter, to which it communicates its stimulating qualities, whilst its fertilizing effects are thereby augmented. In this state, it will act powerfully as a manare, and be a valuable auxiliary in the hands of the farmer.
