III* ?uinip VlUfla I Mr. fork.. of Wipdy-Mains is ncuustooted l? lay limo on the land incended i for. (ornipdi immediately after harvest, i whjn the land hat got the first furrow. Ilelwat ran hot a pair rf harrows go back. -ward and forward ou each ridgo to smooth < it, then lays di**wn the shells in huts about 60 or 00 Kills per acre Scotch ; as soon ?s ft is powdered, he spreads the huts, and harrows tho field, and lets it remain till i Mny, when it may bp prepared for rcccitr. . ing the dung. Mr. Brodic of Gar raid, who has long . paid peculiar and successful attention to the management of lime, adopts tho fol. lowing plan in applying limo to his turnip Innd. After tho ground intended for tur> nipe has got a winter and spring furrow, tho limo is laid on, and well harrowed in : it then gets another furrow before making up the drills, nnd is again well harrowed, for the double purposo of getting tho lime intimately mixed with the soil, nnd taking out any quickens, or other woods, by which tho field is infested.? The turnips nro sown in drills, both as being better for the turnip crop than when I - -1 a J * i?uY?n uruaucnsi, nnu ine lunus nrc got Dei- i ter-clcahed, cither from nnnunl or pcren- ! liiul weeds. It is reckoned an achnntnge, to have the lime got forward during the summer, previous to its being laid on - for turnips ; for on a turnip furm, I hero is ai> much spring labor, that it is hardly possible to drivo nny considerable quantity of litnc, from any distance, at that season of the year. When it is new from the kifn, it is so hot that it is apt to dry up tho moisture necessary for bringing Hie < turnips into leaf; in this case, tho liine I < ought to bo laid on a piece of very dry . ground, en large heaps, nnd thown up to n considerable thickness, which will make it in a tine state for laying on in the spring, that is, neither in u wet, or in a very hot stato. In regard to green crop*, Mr. Putcrsni. of Castlc-lluntly thinks it better to lay on the liine after tho green crop, rather than bcfo'c it, so as it may be wall mixed with the soil, before it comes in contact with potatoes or other roots, it being apt to burn and blister their skins, and to spoil their appearance, if it docs no more mischief. Some farmers, however have j put limn upon the ground after it is plant. J Vil with potatoes, and harrowed it in. But this practice cannot be recommended. The application of lime to grass, par. liculurly on light dry soils, and where the land has been long pastured, is a most advantageous system, if it is soon after to lie brought into culture; otherwise, heing i exposed to the atmosphere, with but little admixture with the soil, it enkes and hnr. Jens, and in some measure re-assumes that unproductive quulity, which it pos. Messed, previously to its being reduced to a caustic state. It may be upplied after the land has been a summer in pasture, or cut for hay ; but the ground should be made ft* bare an possible, otherwise it will Ire difficult to spread it equally over the i award or surface. The lime should he j laid on in autugnn, and the land should . remain in grass for another season, till it is altsorbcd. If intended to he applied to | ..1,1 l.,tr ullUft. If.tr tlm IlltlA n*. Ar\u 1-.il, I before cropping, lulling it lio upon tho ' surface, or lay it on nbout Miirliumus, and lot it lio on the surface till February, then plough it down, and sow the ground when the weather is suitable. Suffering tho ground to remain forsomo years in grass, is certainly the best preparation for liino, n? it hn9 then fresh mould, und vegetable matter, to act upon. Mr. Cuthbertson recommends, that no lime should be laid on high ridges that are intended to be flattened ; the ridge | should bo brought to the same round in which it is intended to remain, before that I operation is accomplished, because, in per. forming it, there is a great risk of bury, ing the lime. Mr. Barclay remarks, that when the application is mado, the land ahould not be too wet ; and it is necessary, at all limes, to have the limo brought to such order, as neither to fly off with the urin/l. nor i?n into clods in tin* Niircndinir. """ r?~ ? i D_ Mr. iirodio of liarvnld observes, Unit some speculative agriculturist* recommend liming upon the surface, to extirpate the heath, and improve the pusturago, without attempting to bring ground under the plough.as the soil and climate may be unfit for the raising of grain. If the lime is at any considerable distance, there is reason to suspect that this would not turn out a profitable concern. At the distance of eight or ten miles, n good liming would not cost less thnn ?10 or ?12 the Scotch acre. It cannot he ex pec tod that this improvement, on such hills as those of f^tmmerrur.'ir, would even pay ths interest of tho money. (tentlemen proprietors may improve at i.his rate, hut u teuunt would bo extremely imprudent, were he lo throw nvmy hi* capital, witnou* prospeel of being repaid. it is eurou" better to lime land worth the improving, to bring it ondor the plough, end then lo take d t'cw corn crops to refund the expense.? The tenant ij thus reimbursed, and has an mmeliorated pasture, it* the reward ot hi* industry and superior management. Though hiding tho surface, " to extirpate heath, find improve pasturage," may not boa profitable concern 01 oh J awards, ?t is proper to observe tii.it when laud is i broken up. merely tor me *aho of tinpro < virrgth* paMurago, the best, and mo*t < diwdv is, to apply \nt*t</th mrface, nnd harrow it alonjj with the grass xscda.

But the ex. penso is well bestowed, were it only for the benefit thence to ho derived in the cultivation gf green crops of every des. criptiou. For though such crops can be raised by large quantities of dung, yet where culcareous substances arc applied, as Mr. Brodiu of Garvnld has found by long experience, a less quantity of animal manure will answer (lie purpose. This is making the farm-yard dung go farther, with more powerful and more permanent effects; and from weightier crops being thus raised, the quantity of manure on a farm will be most materially augmented. 7. The use of pounded limestone, where fuel is scarce or dear, was strongly recommended l>v Lord Karnes. lie ohserves, that three pounds of raw lime is, hy burning, reduced to two pounds of suell lime though nothing is expelled byMhe tire but the nir that was in the limestone thecalcnrcniis earth remains entire. Two pounds of shell, lime, therefore, contains as much cnlcurcous earth as three pounds of rbw limestone. Shell lime of (lie best quality, when slacked will) water, will measure out thrice the quantity ; hut ns limestone loses none of its hulk by being , burnt into sliels, it follows, that three j bushels of raw limestone, contain us much , calcnncous earth, as six bushels of pow. j dered lime; mid consequently if powder, ed lune possess not some virtue ahovo raw j lime, three bushels !'the latter, beat small, ; should equal, as it manure, six bushels of. the former. These suggestions, however, have not been acted upon, probably owing to the difficulty and expense ot beating (he lime sufficiently .small.

The reason, probably, is ihis, that the land having been so often manured with Edinburgh streetdung. which frequently contain a proper* tion of shells, the use of stone lime is thereby superseded. Indeed, some are ol opinion, that the land in the immediate vicinity of Edinburgh had been abundantly limed at some former period, which, in addition to the calcareous matter mixed ti-illi f lm Ir/i.a.^miir rnrwU'rs nnv miIiIi. wy j ( tionul liming unavailing.
