" A new method of" burning without fire" has lately 



en discovered. This consists in substituting quick 



ne for fire. The lime in its most caustic state fresh 



the kiln is laid upon the vegetable surface to be 



d ; and before it is weakened by exposure to 



air, a quantity of water, just sufficient to put it in 



werful action is applied. This process unites the 



vantages of burning and liming ; and is probably 



.iiest and cheapest mode of fertilizing soils which 



wrabound with vegetable matt -r, and for which 



would prove a suitable manure." — Deane'^s JV. K.
