LIME. Land which has long been unused or land in lawns is apt to be sour. To remedy this con¬ 
dition apply evenly one pound of air-slaked lime or two pounds of ground limestone to every 30 
square feet. 1 he lime should be applied and raked in to a depth of two inches when the seed bed 
is being Prepared in the spring. Instead of lime two pounds of unleached wood ashes may be used. 
As* an addition to soil lime is of considerable value. Besides correcting acidity it changes the phys¬ 
ical structure ol the soil. One of the elements of lime is calcium, which is required for plant growth.
