J L I M E . ‘ 3 Tapmpare the soil for its greatest. pro< ductiveness, and to preserire it in that condition with profit, is the highest and noblest achievement of the farmer. The soil is mat part of the ground which can be tilled, which can'be reached and stir red by agricultural implements. It is made up of many different kinds ofenrth. The soil which covers the surface of the earth rests upon rocks lying at agreater or less depth beneath, from the crumbling or disintegration of which the 801 l and loose earth have apparently been formed. Coneeduently soils genei-nlly partake of the nature of the rocksfipon which they rest. Soils are also for' the most part in termixed in a greater or less proportion, with vegetable mold; formed from the decomposition) of vegetable mitter. Soils ought to contain within themA’ solves all the elements necessary to the nourishment and growth of plante; but unfortunately many do not. Originally most soils in this and adjacent/counties were rich and fertile, and pmdfioed, year after year, abundant crops with compara tively little labor and cure; but in pro cess of tlme repented n(ngrp‘rng and poor tillage impoverislfed” y n- once pro ductive farm. ” A . ~ Why does fertility cease? The miner al and ntmosphéric demerits of the food of plants are; ‘gjradually taken up by suc cessive cmpsTand carried off with them, the humds grows thin and meagre, and the soil is exhausted. The crops obtained from the land be come smaller and smaller from year to year, till at last they are not sumclent to reward the labors of the husbanflmnn. The obvious remeay is to restore the soil to its normal conflltion. To this and various substances known as fertilizers are used. The most common of these are lime, barnyard manure, green manure—- that is, the plowing tinder of green crops, such as clover, oats tmd huckwheat—gu anoLphosphnte, bone-dust and plaster or' gupsum, but on most soils lime is un- ‘ doubtedly the most‘eflicient and lasting. It must be borne in mlnd, howeyer, that nine of itself will not give fertility to the soil. The materials upon which it can act must be present, or its greatest effect will be lost. Whoever expectsto harvest large crops immediately after the appli cation of lime to poor land will surely be disappointed. There must be organic. matter in the sol}, either as dedfimposlng manure or as vegetable mold, upon which it can operate. 9= ‘ L'une brings into play the constituents of the soil, and enables the plungteaeeed on themrwhlle, as a salt, it formsthe food of plants; yet its greatest effect ls-upon the dlfi’erent parts of the soil itself. The richer this may be the better will prove the effect of the lime; the poorer the soil, the slower and worse the qeffect. It is owing to this cause that Lime has been condemned in many cases, it having been put on poor soils, where there was noth mg for it to opem upon. The effect of lime, it'wlll be observed. is long continued. Its beneath tan « - g‘eencropafter crop. Aalong gather“: £EITYSBURG, PA, MONDAY, MAY_2I, 1868. ’ organic matter in the soil it slowly de composes it. forming new combinations and fredh food. Lime will always be found to act most promptly'and eflioiently when applied in connection with a good coat of bamyard manure. Considerable diversity of opin ion prevails as to the'best mode of apply ing it. Many area! the opinion that it is bestto put iton plowed ground and work it in with a harrow or cultivator; sonic maintain thatltshouid be plowed under; whilst others hold to the opiniomthat it should be applied as a top dressing to green erbps. But this is perhaps only a matter of‘opinion. There is danger, how ' ever, of its getting in too deep. In work ‘ mg the ground the ilner particles of lime I will penetrate to a greater depth than is genera“:v supposed. The quantity to be 1 applied aries accordingto circumstances from [6O to 150 bushelsto the acre. . As stated above, poor soils containing littlelor no vegetable matter, will bear less than ground of better quality and richer in organic‘mattcr. An opinion _prerails to some extent that with an abundance of barnyard ma nure, lime is wholly unnecessary and unv desirable. This is a mistake. It is an established {act that lend well limed and lightly manurcd will produce much bet ter and plumper grain, and harder and firmer straw, than land not limed but ever so well manured. True, land not limed but well .manured frequently pro duces very luxuriant crops of grass and grain, but so soft and yielding in the straw that it falls tostand the “pressut.” Consequently the seed is generally V ry imperfect and inferior. Lime has done much for our county. No longer can it with any show of truth be rcproachfully called “the buchivheat county." No longer do 'we hear it said that certain birds carry knapsacks while sojourning in our midst. Times have changed and a new and better order of things has taken place. A race of indus trious, progressive, enterprising farmers, has taken the place of the thriftless 'i'osslls that brought discredit and reprh‘ach upon the county many years ago. It is safe to say that ten" times as much grain and hey are new raised in the county as was rais ed 400r60 years ago; and by justas much has the prosperity and happiness of the people been increased. In proportion to j size, our county is now one of the most : productive in the Statp. ‘ But there is still room for improvement. , May the good work go on. Let not the i present high price of lime deter farmers from buying it., Indeed, Adams county } farmers cannot afl‘ord to do_ without it as long as it can be had at a reasonable [ priee. In the opinionsof the writer it will pay at 25 cents abushel. Every one knows what a pleasure and satisfaction it is on the one hand to harvest good crops, and on the other how discouraging to gatmfipoor onfi. Besides, the labor ‘ and attention are about the some, Our, county contains within itself all the ele« ments of greatness and prosperity.
