As I am aware that some farmers
mix lime and asl.es with theii
stable manure, thinking that
ih^rebv thev will better its con- i
-d21ton ami add to it* value, 1
*'l?h to enter a protect against
ibe pactice. If the farmer wishes
to add June and ashes to his land, me
he had better spread them broad- ~*ar
ra?t on the land and work then ('al
into the soil rather than mix *ie
Jiem with his manure.
Everv intelligent farmer knowt mu
hat nitrogen is the most costh 1
element in a complete fertilizei icr
?r plant food ; but perhaps main
f them do not know that whet
.hey are mixing lime and gashes j Lri1
with their manure, they are li- 001
berating this costly nitrogen con- Mef
-.ent of the manure and causing *
it to escape into the air injthe ma
'orm or state of ammoniacaljgas
ht a volatile alkali.
Let the farmer procure a pen- va'
-*y's worth of muriate of ammon- 1
-a at a drug; store and mix it with ef*
*11 equal quantity of freshly
slacked lime or strong ashes, and (. (
;fcen add sufficient water to make tl(|
the mixture into a thick 'paste.
Then by passing it under his nose w?
tie will be convinced that the a
lime or ashes [ whichever is used ] *?
iterates the ammonia very rap
dly. Mixing either lime or ashes co"
vith manure has about the same
-ffect, only the nitrogen or am- |ar
nonia is not liberated so Jrap- a8

Sand-Clay Roads. dai

A coating of sand on a clay co'
"oad is a good thing, but the ^
more this sand inclines to gravel
he better. Good gravel would be ,ja,
ar superior. Tlie exact amount $2?
f sand to use will generally
aave to be determined by exper- "r
merit in each locality. Apply
;he sand when the road is wet
but not rutted. It will not be of
much value till it becomes mixed
with the clay and thus forms a
sort of artificial hard pan. On
the other hand, if -=anil is applied
. . H (]
o hard dry clay it will be a posi- ^
>;ve nuisance until wet weether
t * (
comes and allows it to become
nix ?d with the clay. It is onlv n<
uitable for roads of cnmpara Ia"
tivel.v light tralfic. | e<l
( lav on sand usually gives bet- the
or results than sand on clay on cor
account of the excellent natural 4
drainage afforded by the sand ;is
.'oundation. It should be applied ??w
:u a layer about six inches deep, ,
veil harrowed, smoothed off with ^
a grader, and rolled till hard and
smooth. After the rolling, from .
one to two inches of sand from
the sides should he uniformly
rpre id over the road by use of a H,r
rone! grader. Clay thus applied >"t
will not have reached its beat '
itage until mixed with the wand, nel
iNeither sand on clay nor clay pai
on sand should be applied till the tier
bed has been properly graded me
and shaped for a permanent
road.
Kepairs to this class of road <ieci
w.ll consist in maintaining the HHVf
drains and culverts in good conlition
and applying such mater- Hiw,
;al to the surface as was origin F
and
illy used to build the road. Care th?n
