The Asioatural Value and 17ses of Lime
and Marl.
Among mineral manures none are more
highly valued than lime and its various ad
mixtures with marl and other earthy sub
stances. That lime furnishes any absolute
nutrition to the plant is extremely doubtful,
an very few traces of it are ever found in an
alyzing the different kinds of vegetables. Its
great advantages as a fertilizer appear to be
almost entirely derived from its chemical ac
tion on various ingredients, and in a certain
mechanical influence which often acts favor
ably in improving the texture of the soil. In
order to use lime with any degree of certain
ty as to its effects, a partial knowledge of its
chemical and mechanical uses is absolutely
necessary. It is obvious to all, that this sub
stance on different farms produces the most
contrary effects. While used with discretion,
on some soils it produces the most astonish
ing results; it is known to be attended with
really ruinous effects when applied to manly
and calcareous soils, without they have pre
viously been very much reduced, in which
case lime can be applied in small quantities
in conjunction with other manures. Lime is
used with the greatest advantage on peaty
soils, and those which contain a large amount
of vegetable matter—clayey soils, which need
to be acted on by its mechanical effects, in
rendering them more light, open and easily
cultivated—soils which are barren by the ex
istence of green copperas (proto-sulphate of
iron)—those which need potash, and as a
general rule, most soils which are sterile and
Worn oui, from long and exhausting systems
of cultivation.
Marl varies very much in its composition
in different localities, but is generally known
as a mixture of various kinds of earth with
lime; -and its value is chiefly estimated by
the amount of this mineral which it contains
—hence we have clayey, sandy and earthy
marls. Although owing its fertilizing quali
ties mostly to its per centage of lime, its other
ingredients are often highly valuable, espe
cially when applied to opposite formations of
soil. Thus sandy marl would prove the best
of fertilizers for a stiff clay. In England the
value of marl has long been recognized, and
we are informed that leases were granted as
far back as the reign of Edward I. which com
pelled the tenants to make use of it, but its
use is much less employed since lime has be-
come more known.
The farmers at one time were so confident
of its virtas, that they depended almost en
tirely on it, and made it supersede the use of
dung, by which Means they were enabled to
sell large quantities of hay and straw. But
this course, although it enabled them for a
time to raise good crops, eventually reduced
the soil, and " thus has arisen the old saying
which was cited by Barneby George, who
wrote so long ago as the middle of the six
teenth
_century, that lime and marl are good
for the father but bad for the son." But this
saying, like many others of ancient date, is
evidently an error when they are judiciously
employed in connection with animal and veg
etable manures.
As the valua of marl is computed by the
quantity of lime which it possesses, that value
can be roughly ascertained by the efferves
cence which ensues when vinegar or muriatic
acid is poured on it, after which a chemical
analysis, if deemed expedient, would show
the exact percentage of this and all other in
gredients. When a bed of marl is first found
and no good reasons are given for its use,
farmers should be careful to use it first in
small quantities, and thus experiment with
it until they are perfectly satisfied of its real
worth. In order to get poor land into a good
state of productiveness by lime and marl, it
is also necessary to manure highly with ani
mal and vegetable fertilizers, such as stable
manures. But where it is impossible from
the scarcity of these manures to bring it up
in this way—the cheaper but slower process,
of plowing under green crops, can be resort
ed to with almost equal success. Clover is
perhaps the best crop to turn under when the
land is in good heart enough to produce it;
but when too poor for its production, buck
wheat can always be relied on until the soil
is sufficiently replenished for the growth of
clover or lucern.
Farmers possessing fertile land, must be
aware by what has been previously said, that
if they find the use of lime or marl beneficial
to their crops, they must not rely too implicit
ly on this class of (mineral) fertilizers ; but
rather increase than diminish the amount of
farm yard manures. For the increase of the
crops which is produced by liming, rather
tends to exhaust the soil of its necessary in
gredients, and to destroy its fertility, so that
while the use of lime is continued, it becomes
more than ever important not to decrease the
use of other manures. All this extra labor
and expense bestowed on this system of cul
tivation will be doubly repaying, for if there
is any profit in raising medium crops on a
farm, this profit rapidly swells when the same
land is made to produce large and abundant
returns.
Most marls need to be drawn out and expo
sed to the action of the weather for some
months before it is intended to use them,
that they may be pulverized and made suita
ble for application by the action of the wea
ther. Some kinds are so stiff and unman
ageable, as to need the action of both the
summer and winter elements to reduce them
to a proper state of fineness for application.
- Lime should not be applied in its caustic
state, except to lands containing large quan
tities of inactive vegetable matter, and on
those in which organic. manure is contained
unchanged and ineffective. When partially
slacked and reduced to fineness by exposure
to the air, it possesses sufficient caustic prop
erties for all other soils, if applied soon after
being slacked. Mild lime, after being redu
ced to a powder, is more beneficial to all lands,
with the exception of the above, as it does
not exhaust the vegetable matter in any
greater quantity than is required for the
growth of the crop. The trifling saving
which might be gained by the immediate ap
plication of caustic lime, would never pay
for its injurious effects on all soils, excepting
those which contain large quantities of or
ganic matters requiring to be dissipated. Be
sides, caustic lime should not be used in con
tact with seeds or herbage ; and when applied
. to clays for the purpose of improving the tex
ture of the soil, it frequently causes quite the
contrary effect, as it unites in a mortar with
the clay, causing it to harden and form cakes.
In most all cases, we think it is self-evident
that lime should be applied after air-slacking,
in its mild (carbonated) form.
We are frequently asked whether lime will
benefit soils associated with limestone rocks.
Such soils frequently contain lime in sufficient
quantities; but this is not invariably the case,
as soils sometimes resting on limestone, or
abounding in loose limestone and shells, are
frequently devoid of lime in such a form as
to be useful. We can only account for this
phenomenon by supposing that the soil was
originally derived from some other source
than these rocks, or that the firm texture of
them has prevented their crumbling enough
to benefit the land. Thus it often proves
that liming is beneficial on what is called
limestone land. We should advise its use in
small quantities at first on such lands, with
out the owner is perfectly satisfied by anal
ysis that his land is totally deficient. By
pouring muriatic acid or vinegar on a small
portion, he can at least tell if it contains lime
to any considerable degree. G. T.

From the Country Gentleman
The Chinese Sugar Cane.
The cultivation of this plant having de
servedly, I think, attracted so much atten
tion during the past season, induces me, not
withstanding the numerous communications
you have received upon the subject, to trou_
ble you with a brief account of my experi
ments, conducted with some care, and with a
view of testing the value of the plant for at
least some of the purposes for which it has
been recommended.
On the 13th of May, having previously
plowed to the depth of nine inches, I planted
the seed in a rather stiff (although not hard)
clay soil, upon a piece of land recently pur
chased, which had been heavily cropped and
badly managed for several years ; the former
owner having acted upon the plan of getting
all he could from the soil without the trouble
or expense of making any return, to restore
its exhausted strength. The soil, therefore,
I regarded as scarcely capable of producing
a fair crop of corn or potatoes. The only fer
tilizer employed was a light deposit of stable
manure in the hills. Four rows, each 210
feet long, and 3 feet apart, were first planted
with 4 to 5 seeds, in hills two feet apart ; the
plants afterwards, when 5 to G inches high,
being thinned,to two in a hill—at the same
time four rows adjoining, and three feet
apart, were planted by drilling the seed, so
that the plants when up, stood about two in
ches apart. My diary shows that on the day
after planting, a cold rain set in, and contin
ued with little intermission until the 21st—
more than a week after. I greatly feared
that the unfavorable weather wauld render
a.seeond planting necessary; but to my sur
prise, in 17 days from the time of sowing,
the plants began to make their appearance,
and. came up with such regularity I doubt
whether a dozen seeds failed to germinate.
The weather continuing cold and wet, the
plants made slow progress, assuming a sick
ly, yellow line, with but little improvement
until after the 20th of June, when the season
becoming warmer, they began and continued
to grow with rapidity ; and. on the 6th of
August those in the drilled rows had attain
ed an almost perfectly uniform height of
seven feet; and having thrown up a great
number of suckers, stood upon an average
not more than one inch apart in the rows.—
Upon the last day mentioned, I began cut
ting the canes in the drilled rows for soiling,
taking them off immediately above the se
cond joint. The yield, at this time, I esti
mated as more than equal to what would
have been obtained from double the quantity
of land, if sowed at the same time and in the
same manner with Indian corn; and was
eaten by cows and horses with far greater
The only cultivation given at any time
during the entire season, was once hoeing,
and afterwards keeping down the grass be
tween the rows with the cultivator.
In about one week after cutting as above
stated, new shoots began to appear from the
old , canes at the points of severance, and in
many cases from the roots; growing with
greater rapidity, although more slender, than
the original plant in the first instance. These
have now (Oct. 21st,) attained an average
height of about six feet; the most of them
having formed seed, but will not mature it.
The four rows planted in hills first referred
to, I preserved for the production of seed and
syrup; and on the 19th of September, the
canes (including suckers.) Isom one third of
the land occuped, averaging about six in
each hill, and of an average height of about
12 feet, (although some measured 15 feet,
having nearly ripened the seed, were cut
down, and after separating the tops at the
second joint below the head, and taking off
the blades, were cut into pieces of about one
inch in length, by passing through a com
mon straw cutter; the canes after being cut
measuring fifteen bushels. My facilities for
extracting the juice were exceedingly imper
fect, being obliged to use a common old-fash
ioned cider-mill and press ; and on account
of an accident to the former, was unable to
grind the cane perfectly. I succeeded how
ever, in obtaining sixteen gallons of juice;
and had my arrangements been perfect, am
confident I would have had six or eight gal
lons more. Thirteen gallons of the juice was
placed in an iron boiler, and after boiling
slowly eight hours, (which was longer than
necessary, and adding when half done, one
gill of lime water, produced nearly two gal
lons of syrup or molasses, equal in flavor and
quality to any similar article it has ever been
my fortune to see.
The result, therefore, of my experiments,
lead me to the conclusion that the accounts
heretofore published as to the value of the
Chinese Sugar Cane, are not exaggerated ;
that it may be grown upon almost any ordi
nary soil, requiring no more attention than
is profitably bestowed upon a crop of Indian
Corn: that as a soiling crop it is far superior
both.in quantity and quality to Indian corn,
producing as a first crop more than cau be
obtained from any other plant in cultivation;
and after once cut, again producing a valua
ble crop:; and that a superior article of syrup
can be produced at little cost or trouble.
I feel that in the prosecution of these sim
ple experiments, I have not only been repaid
for my trouble, but have demonstrated to my
satisfaction, that the Sugar Cane will prove
to be one of the greatest acquisitions to the
agricultural productions of our country, that
has been introduced for many years.

Light amid Darkness.
.BY LEROY
Human sympathy has in itself a balm for I
the wounded heart; but it is not powerful
enough to enable the heart almost crushed
with sorrow, to bear up beneath the most af
flictive disliensations of God's providence.
The all-sustaining grace of a merciful sov
ereign, and the tender sympathy of a loving
Saviour are necessary to cheer the saddened
heart and bring back the smile of hope to the
tearful eye of the mourner. Oh ! how miser
able beyond comprehension, must be the
hearts of those, who, when they consign to
the silent grave the objects of their strongest
affections, have no sympathizing Redeemer
upon whose bosom they may lean and pour
out all their sorrows. It is natural that we
should mourn for those who have left us for
a season, but when we have an assurance
that they are now enjoying felicity supreme,
light breaks in through darkness, and the
I bitterness of grief gives place to the sweet
hope of a joyful reunion above. And what
rich pleasure we derive from drawing aside
the thin veil that separates time from eter
nity, and following the ransomed spirit of the
beloved one in its upward flight and behold
ing its entrance into the haven of eternal
rest.
Yes, when we gather around the family
board and see the vacant chair, we think of
the glorious scene about being witnessed by
our departed friend, when for the first time
in the heavenly land, in the embrace of for
mer friends, and wearing a crown given hint
by his Lord, he sits down to partake of the
marriage supper of the Lamb.
Methinks I can almost see thehappy group,
and hear the sweet music of their golden
harps. Around him are gathered many of
his associates, welcoming him to the rich fru
ition of those exalted sciences, into whose
hidden mysteries, they had delighted to search
during their pilgrimage here below.
My readers may, perhaps, call these thoughts
the productions of a vivid imagination," and
condemn the writer for letting his thoughts
soar beyond the limits of space ; but I believe
that to the Christian, these things become the
realities of faith, and not, as some suppose,
the creations of fa2tcy. I love to meditate
upon the glories of heaven ; for by so doing,
my affections are drawn away from earth and
placed upon those objects which prove foun
tains, whose waters grow sweeter the deeper
draughts we take.
And is it not natural that we should do so ?
If some earthly friend were to bequeeth to us
a beautiful estate, whose gorgeous halls are
decorated with regal splendor,
whose exten
sive parks are of the most pleasing aspect,
and melodious with the voices of the sweetest
songsters, whose flowers are the fairest, and
fruits most delicious, and to add to all its
other attractions, fountains of crystal water
invigorating the fields, and murmuring in
soft music amid the grassy vales ; would it
be possible to banish it, with all its beauties,
from our minds, while on our way to take pos
session of it? Would it not almost entirely
engross our attention, and be the subject of
conversation with others, thus awakening the
liveliest emotions of gratitude and love for
that friend who was so beneficent? And
shall we travellers to the heavenly inheritance,
concerning whose beauties the apostle says—
"eye bath not seen, nor bath ear heard," have
our thoughts bound down to the groveling
trifles of earth, and never let them meditate
upon the far surpassing loveliness of that
home which a benificent father has prepared
for his dear children ?
But when we realize that many of our dear
ones are there awaiting our advent, 0 ! how
much more should our thoughts be tixed upon
it ; and with what alacrity should we, press
forward in the heavenly road.
Amid sorrows there are pleasures,
And 'Hope's star is ever bright;
Our afflictions are our treasures,
For in darkness there is light.
