The  New  Case  40 — $1090 
v  mum  stnrted  on  a  four-year  rotation, 
but  I  was  thinking  that  a  five-year  ro¬ 
tation  with  clover  sowed  in  oats,  the 
clover  to  he  plowed  under  after  the  oats 
were  harvested,  and  before  Winter  wheat, 
was  planted,  would  add  an  amount  of 
humus  and  nitrogen  to  the  soil,  which 
would  bo  beneficial.  1  would  then  sow 
clover  and  Timothy  in  the  Winter  wheat 
tile  following  Spring,  and  have  clover 
and  Timothy  two  years. 
I  to  you  think  this  method  of  snwijtig 
clover  wi.th  the  oats  would  work  out 
satisfactorily,  and  if  not,  suggest  some 
other  method.  I  have  already  sacrificed 
one  year  of  paying  crops  on  each  plot,  to 
plow  under  a  manure  crop  of  rye  or  Soy 
beans.  \v.  h.  F. 
Erie.  Pa. 
Yes,  the  clover  seeded  with  the  oats 
will  give  some  organic  matter  to  plow 
under,  but  not  a  full  crop.  You  will 
get  more  organic  matter  in  the  soil  by 
disking  or  plowing  the  oat  stubble  and 
seeding  buckwheat  and  turnips  or  Crim¬ 
son  clover.  This  can  be  plowed  under 
i.n  time  for  wheat  seeding.  It  would 
add  more  organic  matter  but  less  nitrogen 
than  the  clover.  Another  plan  is  to  sow 
rye  and  clover  in  the  corn  at  the  last 
cultivation.  This  will  make  a  good  cover 
crop  to  be  plowed  under  for  the  oats  in 
Spring. 
Applying  Lime  With  Manure 
I  am  advised  to  top-dress  rye  field  with 
agricultural  lime  and  manure.  A  neigh¬ 
bor  of  mine  puts  a  layer  of  manure,  then 
lime,  then  manure  and  then  lime  again 
in  his  manure  spreader,  thus  mixing  ma¬ 
nure  and  lime  while  spreading  by  ma- 
cliine.  j.  3. 
What  is  this  “agricultural  lime?”  Is 
it  burned  lime  or  ground  limestone?  We 
should  not  mix  the  burned  lime  wi,th  the 
manure  in  the  way  mentioned.  There  is 
a  difference  of  opinion  as  to  the  effect  of 
mixing  ground  limestone  in  manure.  The 
general  opinion  seems  to  lie  that  there 
is  very  little,  if  any,  loss  in  doing  so,  but 
we  do  not  think  this  is  the  best  way  to 
apply  lime.  You  do  not  get  a  full  and 
thorough  mixture  all  through  the  soil 
when  the  lime  is  put  with  the  manure 
and  plowed  under.  It  would  make  a  bet¬ 
ter  mixture  but  mean  more  labor  to  plow 
under  the  manure  and  then  spread  the 
lime  and  harrow  in.

Slaking  Quicklime 
Is  it  necessary  under  all  conditions  to 
slake  quicklime  before  applying  it  to  the 
soil?  Would  not  a  ton  of  quicklime  to 
the  acre,  applied  in  the  furrow,  slake 
without  damaging  the  soil  by  burning,  if 
left  a  few  days  before  barrowing,  or 
could  it  not  bo  applied  on  a  dump  day? 
I  have  no  lime  sower  and  will  have  to 
apply  it  by  hand.  In  slaking  quicklime, 
how  is  it  best  handled  so  as  not  to  bo 
mushy  from  tlm  application  of  water,  or 
can  .just  a  small  amount  of  water  be  used 
to  eau.se  the  lumps  to  crumble? 
Peru,  Mass.  f.  j.  c. 
We  understand  that  what  you  have  in 
mi.nd  is  simply  scattering  the  lumps  of 
quicklime  over  the  soil,  and  then  after 
they  have  slaked,  harrowing  in.  This 
has  been  tried  by  some  of  our  readers, 
but  does  not  apparently  prove  as  satis¬ 
factory  as  the  common  plan  of  putting  the 
quicklime  in  little  piles  here  and  there 
about,  tho  field.  When  the  lumps  of  lime 
are  piled  in  this  way,  especially  in  damp 
Weather,  they  will  quickly  slake  and 
break  down  or  crumble.  Then  it  is  easy 
to  spread  the  lime  with  a  long-handled 
shovel,  taking  a  shovelful  at  a  time  and 
throwing  it  out  in  a  wide  circle.  In 
this  way  if  the  piles  are  put  at  even  dis¬ 
tances  apart,  tho  work  of  spreading  is 
not  difficult.  You  will  find  this  more 
satisfactory  than  merely  scattering  the 
lumps  over  the  field  and  leaving  them 
there  to  be  broken  up.  Some  of  our  peo¬ 
ple  seem  to  have  tried  this  latter  plan, 
but  they  did  not  get.  as  good  a  distribu¬ 
tion  of  the  lime.  Ju  damp  weather  the 
piles  of  quicklime  will  crumble  quite 
rapidly.  In  a  dry  time  if  is  not  un¬ 
common  for  farmers  to  haul  water  to  die 
field  and  poor  small  quantities  of  it  over 
the  piles  of  lump  li.me  to  break  them  up

said,  “Why  are  you  throwing  all  that

day  school  teacher  told  me  if  you  cast 
your  bread  upon  the  waters  it’ll  return 
to  you  after  many  days.”  “And  do  you 
think  your  bread  will  come  back  to  you?” 
“Well,  mum."  replied  the  boy.  “if  it’ don’t
