THE FARM. Lime aa a Fertilizer. Many pertout in whote good judgment and tente everyone ha* contideuce inaitt that lirnn it not a plant toot), and i* there- fore uteleta a* a fertilr.tr. Now, a plant food it considered to be anything that being contained in plant* to a large extent, may b* appplied to the toil to contribute to the tnpply of it for the cropt. When we tee that when inch an element of plant luhntanoe it applied to the (oil the follow, ing crop i* greatly helped, we can hardly agree with the opinion that it it not a food for planu, write* a correapuudtDU Ha ay* : If we undy th* composition of plant*, we find that lime it the moat important part of the mineril element* of nearly every one. The ath of plant i* made up of these mineral element*, aud by examining the ath we may discover what kindt and quantities of mineral matter! the plant* require. And i'/ i* to be remembered that in the growth of plant* every element found in them i* indiip*n**>ble. But now much more mutt it b* to, if *uch a thing were poaiible, for oue element to be more indupeuuble than another, for lime, winch I'ttt in tueh a large proportion, to b* anything bat inditpentable T And tint mutt be thought to M w* con- lUer that in th* ath of hay one-eighth part it lime. In the ath of clover more than a third of it i* lime. In the ath of potato top* nearly one-half it lime. The he* of wood, which w.- think to valuable on account of the pola*h in them, have everal Mice* more lime than potaih, the lime amounting to from 30 to 70 per cent And there it not one plaut grown that ha* not lime in it* athu. The aarne tpplie* te polath and phosphoric acid, and reasonably thete at* tuppoced to be foot 1 for plant*. Why, then, is not limeapUint food? Surely it must be to considered. The best farmed locahtie* in th* world are those where th* toil contain* a targe proportion of lime, being derived from the decomposition of li meat one rocks. Hut it i* not so much on account of thelim* in the "toff Onll dM-VaVad^iito well fanned and so productive, but mottrp^for the reason that, lima being there abundant, and cheap, the farmers burn the limeetone an.;' make lime and apply it to the Ian i. Uimahafly i* a plain food, but limettone is not, and the oil may b* well filled with limettooe a,vi yet be iiuite poor. Thit it common exper- ience. Now, lime is a very ac-tive chemical tubttanc*. Thu will be teen if tome of u it put in tome vinegar. Thi* will foam up and boil over the cup, and a larger quan- try of gat will b* evolved. In the end there will be no more acid in th* vinegar. And thit i* one (fleet of lime on the soil that i* tour, moli a* twarr.p land, in which the exueei of acid prevents the growth of any useful plant*. If we put some lim* on a dead animal or any other organic matter, it will quickly deoompo** it and reduce it to it* original elements, and this is one effect of Ume when used in a <mpo*i. the matter* thn* decomposed then becoming good manure and utef nl food for plant*. And Ihn tame efeet it produced in the soil when quick- lime U applied, a* it usually i* in th* fall, when the land Is prepared for wheat and graa* and clover seeding. But the chemist may take some sand or other min- eral matter and mix with it and then add water, forming silicate of lime, and by taking the silica from the potash or ihe phosphate* or magnesia or the aiumma, t}., that the toil it made up o', th* lime re Jen the** element! uf plant food sol ubl* and available for the crop*. Now, thit is a small part of '.he natural history of lime as His used in good farming. And with such a history we must realise its value to the farmer quite independently of tbo fact whether it is actually a plant food or not. And a* this is the teasou when the land is in the best condition for the applica- tion of lime, at lime it most soluble in cold water and the wheat crop is mott conveni- ent for it, it is a question for all of ut if it is not advisable to UM u ami gather the fruiie of it* good effect on the toil. The freshly burned lime only i* u*ed, and 30 to 40 bushels per acre is the usual quantity. It i* Isft in heaps in the field, preferably of on* bushel each two rod* apart, and in a fw dayt it fall* u> a fine powder by the action of the moitur*of the air orathowar of rain, when it it eaciiy tpr-a.1 quite evenly, so a* jutt to whiten the turfaue.with a long handled (hovel.

Never, in breaking a roll, hitch him ny the side of a slow-walking horse, uulett you want to tpotl the gait of the oolu Many know how disagreeable it is to rids after a hone that, as toon aa he breaks the trot, is almott stone still on a slow mope of walk, and, after ones forming this habit, it i* impoatible to change hi* gait or improve upon it. In feeding live stook.it i* the excess given above that which is required for mainten- ance which yield* a profit to the feeder. Do not try how little you oan keep th* stock alive on, bnt rather how much you oan get them to eat and thoroughly digett. Many horses could do excel lent service as roadsters or for the carriage or the farm were it not for the fact that they are used up, so to speak, in try.ng to make faul trotters of them, when so very few of them can IM brought up to the detired mark. For farm purpotes weight i* a very great oonaideratron ; especially when he can get it without clunicinett, and combined with haidinot* and qualities of enduranoe, the fanner is getting the kind of horte that is fitted for handling the heavy work on the farm to the belt advantage.and at the same tine he is getting about him the kind of horses that are in demand for the trade. There is no better feed for young pigs than milk. After the litter is two wm k old the tow rarely given all t hat they need. and w* cau very o/Un begin feeding to ad- vantage sotner than that. If enough skin mnk oannot be had, make au oatmeal por- ridfl* to add to it, adding alto small quantities of Unwed meal, which will keep th* pig* looking sleeker than any other feed, betide* greatly aeeitting their growth. Gentleness, docility ami tpeed are like precious petvrlt. As long a* th* pearl i* in th* shell at the bottom ef ths tea, the pearl i* of no a*e to mankind and oan excite* uoa Mention.

With the dawn of a new era in English politic* in 1832 Disraeli's strenuous public life began; and when, half a century later, be bad his fill of life and honor, men began to appreciate how full th* intervening year* had been of indomitable strife, devoted to the gradual conquest of the ear of the Houw of Commons, ol toe confidence, of the Con- servative Party, of the good-will of the sovereign, and of the support of the nation. All thew were finally won, and 'bit extra- ordinary child of Israel, whow anowtort were unhappy refugees hunted from Spain to Venice, whote immediate forbears were poor immigrant* into* London suburb, tat himwif down in the teat of the chief of the house cf Stanley, dictated In* will to the proudest aristocracy on earth, posed at th* representative of the Kugliah race among the assembled powers of Kurope, touk Great Britain into the hollow of his hand, clot hsd a nation boutiquiere with imperial purpli, left behind him a cause identified wi'.h his name, tnd a parly strong enough to defend it, and finally tank into > grave tmotnertd with flowsrt by the hands of the people, and surmounted by a memorial inscribed by the hand of the Queen.
