Second!' r? ?*? ?t? | effects upon regetation. In regard to this as, in my judgment, justly remarks a writer in the Georgia ' Southern Cultivator," it hae Ma two hold tendency, one to direet service to growing vegetation, the other Indirect. Lime offers carbon on its own'Account, by its superior affinity for it; itspee dily decays vegetable fibre and throws an additional suppij to aid thalr wants by changing their condition into buuus. Vegetable substances thus suddenly changed, not only offer carbon, but produce tnois. I ture by loss of their elementary condition. I It coagulates alumina and renders the soil i friable and easy of culture. We consider lime ns a special genertor a reservoir for carbon to nascent plants. IMants bavo ao innate power of robbing ' from air and soil food to supply their wants. The leaves of plants have galvanic force in drawing, froui atmosphere, carbon, roots, <kc., on glass, and why not the rootlets 1 drain from lime its elementary condition in 1 this particular! It unquestionably does. Lime being thus suddenly deprived of its ' purity goes steadily to regain its supply which is again converted into use by plants and thus continues as long as An uninler rupted state of affairs exist. 1 When we analyze our grain crops we find lime an indispensable article in their 1 composition?they do r.ot mature without 1 it. Man needs this substance for the development of his bones?in bones and grain it exists in a phosphate. We do not con domn special tnauures, but when we con' aider the great influence the vegetable [ kingdom possesses in the conversation of ' elementary substances into digestible food or their wants, wo almost fool disposed to ' bo incredulous on the subject. Nature has ' strange ways of its own. The Datura Stra' moni culls its dreadly drug from the same soil that the rose would till our olfactories ' with rarest of perfumes or furnish our tables 1 witli tlin HaintMt morsfll to allnv our hitn. gor. Each genus seems to have its own road to travel, and changes constituents to its own likiug and adaptation, we do not mean by this that lime would be formed from silica, or potash from alumua, but we are disposed to the opinion that where litno or silica or potash is present the plant changes it to suit its adaptation for its civil wants in that particular. We havo always considered fresh burnt (calcined) lime us best aJapted to agricultural purposes. In this contrution it is sparingly soluble in water and enters into combination with the sod more thoroughly, neutralizing acidity and furnishing a greater scope for tho rootlets of plants to feed upon. Plaster to grass crops is said to be more efficient, but we do not see the philosophy of this. It is however, more permanent from its insolubility as a sulphate, and would render good service to succeeding crops. Lime is aoiuble in carbonic acid gas, and shouij always have topical application no mutter in what form it may be applied. This gas is generate-J by the decay of vegetable matter and renders it always susceptible to the wants of vocation when ever moislute is present. When plowed into the soil too deep it goes beyond the reach of the roots and to be of no service to the growing crops. This illustration is plainly provided by the slaluctities in caverns, and 1 the pelrifyiug of wood and human bodies in certain lime districts where exposod to ibeao influence." If the views given above be correct; our lands should be limed. Lime, indeed, must form tbo basts of all permauent improvement.

[Aratur, I Making a Balkt lions* Dkaw.?Ilorses s know nothing about balking until they are F brought into it by improper management; , And when a horse balks in harneaa, it is * generally from some mismanagement, ex1 citement, confusion, or from not knowing how to pull, but seldom from any unwih lingness to porform his duty. High spiri' ted, free going horses, are the most subject ' to balking, and only so because drivers do f not properly understand how to manage. 1 This kind of free horse in a team, may be so anxious to go, that wbeu ho hears the r word he will start with a jump, which will 3 not start the load, but give him such a se' vere jerk in the shoulders, that be will fly '* back aud slop the other horse; the toAuister * will continue his driving without cessation, 1 and by the time he has the slow horse start> eu again, he will And that the freo horse ' I has inade Another lunge, and again flew v back, nnd now be has them both badly * balked, and so confused, that ueitker of P them kuows what is the mat'er, or how to ' start the load. Next will come the slashing and cracking of the drivors whip, till r something is broken, or be is through with ' this course of trentmenl. It takes a steady pressure against the collar to movo a load, ami you cannot expect him to act with a 0 steady determined purpose while you are r whipping them. Almost any team, when first balked, will ' start kindly, if you let them stand five or ' ten minutes, as though there was nothing r the matter, aud then speak kindly to thorn and turn them a little to the right or left, '? so as to got them both in motion before they feel the pinch of tho load. Hut if you waiU to stArt a team that yon are not dri*'no yourself, that has boon balked, fooled, * and whipped for sometimo, go to them and '' hang tho lines ou tboir hemes, or fasten ' thorn to the wagon, so that they will bo perfectly loose; make driver and spectators " stand otf some distance, so as not to attract '? the attention of the horses, and unloose the 1 check-reins, so that they can get their heads '? down, if they choose; let thein stand a few ' minutes in this condition, till you can see '* they aro a little composod. When you a have them ready to start, stand before them, e and as you seldom have but one balky horse in a team, get as near in front of him |r as you can, and if ho is too fast for the '} other horse, let his nose come against your breast; this will keep him steady, for he R will go slow rather than run on you. Turn a them gently to the right, without letting them pull on their traces, as far as the " tongue will let them go, stop them with a '' kind word, gentle tbora a little, and turn back to the left by the same process; as you a turn thorn again to the right, steady them e in the collar, and you can take them where you ploase. ^ " W* #a * r^rirss^ the aide of A sUarU bono, here checklinee y ob them, Ue up all the traces and straps, so that there will be nothing to exeMe diem. Do cot rein them up, but let them have their beads loose, walk them about as alow ?*? aa possible, atop ofleo, and go to yeur halky c hone and gentle him; do not take any whip# about bitu, or do anything to e&eite him, but keep bim juat aa goiet aa you can; ft] he will soon atari otf at the ford, and atop _ whenever you tell him. Aa aoon aa be per- V< forme right, hitch him to an empty wagon, 'and have it etaod in a favorable place for " slatting. Ii would be well to shorten the stay chain behind thfeeteady horse, so that a if it ia necessary, he ean take the weight of the wagon. The first time you start then, do not drive more than two rods at first; CI watch your balky horse closely,.and if vou j.1 see be is getting a little excited, atop him u before he stops of bia own accord, caress .^j him a little, and start again; drive thorn over a small hill a few times, and than ovar yt ! a Urge one, nil the while adding a light load. This process will make any horse pull T( true.? W. H.
