General Remarks on the Appli- 

 cation OF Lime as a Manure. 



THE right application of lime to the 

 foil, has long appeared to me a fubjedt 

 which deferves the ftridleft inveftigation.

 Midland Counties, it has, for fome

 application j efpecially in watering and 

 turning over the load heaps, before they 

 are fpread out upon the foil -f-.
