The Use of Burned Lime as an Ap plication to the Soil.— Tha application of burned lime to the soil is of high uity, and its utility is such as has been recognised in almost, every country in which agriculture has obtained much eminence ; and_cert«tinly it has been more largely and extensively used ae a fertili zer from a very remote period than any other mineral substance that has ever been made available in practicable hus* bandry. Cato describes with much min uteness the best means'of preparing it; and i'liuy attests the use of slacked lime by the Roman cultivators as a dressing for the soil in which fruit trees were grown. It was also applied with equal success by the Arabs in Spain. Ilcnce il may be inferred that w.hat has been good in all ages past is good at the prcs ent time. When lime is applied to the soil, it is believed by Borne that it acts in two ways —one, ae a stimulant that promotes veg etation by causing the soil with which it is mixed to oxert itself, and the other, in promoting the urowth of trees and. plants by enriching the laud as u manure, and adding to the quantity of vegetable food, ljy otherß, it is looked upon in a chemi cal and medicinal poiLt of view, acting as an alterative, a corrector, a dissolvcr, or a decomposer —a disengager of cer tain parts of the animal, vegetable and mineral substances contained in the soil, and as a retainer and a combiner with oth«n, but not as a substance, like dung of decayed organic matter, fit for the im mediate use and nourishment of plants, except in small proportions. It also pro duces a mechanical alteration in the soil, which is simply and easily understood, and is the cause of a series of chemical changes that are really obscure, and are oji yet susceptible of only partial expla nation. In the finely-divided state o p quicklime or slaked lime, or of soft and crumbling chalk, it btiffens very loose soils and opens the stiffer clays ; while in the form of limestone gravel or of shcll sand, it may be employed either for open ing a clayey soil or giving body and firm ness to boggy land. Thus, it proves very useful in tenacious, heavy, clayey soil, while it may be dispensed with in light ones, as scarcely, if at all, affecting them. The purposes served by lime as a chemical constituent of the soil, are at least of four distinct kinds, namely : First, it supplies a kind of inorganic food which appears to be necessary to the healthy growth of all cultivated plants. Secondly, it neutralizes acid substances, which are naturally formed in the soil, and decomposes or renders harmless otb a <;i noxous compounds, that are not unfre quently within reach of the roots of plants. Thirdly, it changes the inert vegetable matter in tho soil so as gradu ally to render it useful to vegetation.— Fourthly, it causes, facilitates, or enables other uieful compounds, botk organic and inorganic, to be produced in the soil, or so promotes the decomposition of exp iating compounds as to prepare them more speedily for entering into the cir culation o( plants. Burned or quicklime is of an alkaline or basic nature like potash and soda.— Bodies of this kind form the chemical opposites to those of an acid nature , that is, they deprive them of their sour taste, and their acid properties and actions, in general, when they combine with them, while on their own side, they giro up basic properties. Fur instance, from the most corrosive hydro chloric acid, and the most caustic soapboiler's lye arises a compound which no longer tastes sharp or caustic, but only mildly saliue, name ly, oommon table salt. Their mutual re\ signation and delivering up of their char- j asteristic properties, which occurs in all oases where an alkaline base meets, with an is called neutralization, and a new pro«juo» arising from the two is termed a salt. A good soil, in a state of readiness for oulture, must not possess any a<*d prop erties. All the cultivated plants grow less freely and lees vigorously in SO'IIK containing acids, than in such as are weakly basic, or even neutral, atjd their growth becomes inferior in proportion as the quantity of acid ib the soil increase es. The production of aoids takes place in every soil; for the humus, which orig* inates both from the remains of plants and refuse remaining in the ground, and from stable manure, is of an acid nature; the soil, however, usually contains in its mineral constituents so many basis, (lime; jaagnesia, potash, and soda,) while the nitrogen of the stable-dung produces an other, (ammonia,) that these suffice to neutralize the acids formed, and to con vert the acid into tempered or neutral ized humus. Combined with bases, tho humus undergoes a far more rapid and extensive decomposition into the food for vegetation, that is, into soluble substan - oes ; applicable to the growth of plants, while the acid humus, whether produced t>y want of moisture, or by a superabun dance of peaty substances, undergoes further decay, but slowly aud wild diffi culty. • Lime is not merely a baie, but a very strong base, and can therefore oten ex tract from the weaker bases occurring in the soil the acids with which they are al ready combined. Hence, it acts with ad vantage in those cases where weaker ha ses are as become soluble by com bination with acids,and are in this condi tiun eapableofinterfenng-nith the growth of plants. Of this kind especially are the breca which originate Irorn the fer ruginous particles present in all soils cov ered with water, such as are situated in low-lands excluded from the access u! at*, mospheyu air by a tenacious covering, llumic and carbonic acids produced in such places render the particles of prof— oxyd of iron soluble, and these again cause the soil to become sterile or less fertile, just like the water which we see in ferruginous springs flawing from de posits of lignite nr peat On this account fresh, black mud from the ponds always sets injuriously upon. filMs and meadows the first.year; hencoj the dead subsoil, when mixed at onco with ths surface soil, so often causes a diminution of fertility for one or more years. In like manner, in a soil which contains much pyrites, the oxygenation, or weathering, of the ground may readily produce so much soluble salt of iron (greon vitriol,' or sulphate of iron) as to disturb the growth of plants. la all these cases, lime is an excellent means of rendering the iron insoluble, and, at the same time, of giving it a tendency to absorb oxygen from the air more rapidly and übundauts ly, whereby the black prot oxyd of iron is changed into brown ger-oxyd, (iron rust,) which no longer aits injuriously upen vegetation. Caustic or quicklime, as its name in dicates, attacks the skin of the hand and dissolves it in washing, in the same way as potash or soda l;c, and has a similar action upon other animal and vegetable substances, as many farmers, perhaps, have noticed on the sacks in which they have kept lime, which Boon beotfme ten aud soft. When lime is mixed with the soil, it acts in this decomposing and dissolving manner upon roots,leaves,straw aud other parts of vegetables, as also upon organic constituents of the soil, which are already partially converted into humus. It hastens the decomposi tion of those substances which are often very tldw and disinclined to fermentation in heavy soils, uot freely admitting at mospheric air to a greater activity; that is, to a more rapid fermentation, putre< faction, and decay, whereby they arc decomposed Jinto carbonic aci I and aun moniaj which arc then abiorbel by the roots of the living plants as the most important of all their food. The action which lime exerts in this way clearly agrees in appearance with that produced by direct fertilizers, such as stable man ure, guano, &c. liut there is this great difference between the two. The lime does not work with its own material, but at tho expense of other matter, namely, at that of the land or ol its strength, while the direct manures act with their own power. It is, therefore, self-evident that the latter enrich the soil, while lime renders it poorer. The uuivcrsal effects of this independent, unmixed liming or marling of land, which has been estab lished by practice in Europe, as well as in many other parts of this country; is obvious nor only by the well-known Ger man saying 'Rich father, poor children,' but also by the still more precisely pressed maxim, "Much lime «n<l no manure. Make both farm and farmer poor." Besides, on heavy, inactive soils, lime may be expected to produce good effects by its decomposing and dissolving power iu all cases where the soil is rich in or-, ganic remains, especially when tho air has not had free access to it; consequent ly, on new ground, reclaimed from forest, broken-up meadows, and pasture-land, reclaimed peat-pogs, salt-marshes, and low-lyiug lands after they have been well drained But even burned lime frequent ly does not develop its effects until the second or third year. ' (TO BE CONTINUED.) MUSTARD PLASTERS.— By using sir up or molasses for mustard plasters, they will keep soft ami flexible, and not diy up and become hard, as when mixed up with watfcr. A thin pape. or fine cloth should eouit between tho plaster and the skin. The strength of the plaster is va ried, by the addition of more or less flour.
