It pulverizes and lightens strong soils, at once improving their drainage and rendering them easier tilled. On peaty soils it reduces the excess of organic matter. It also improves the texture of light soils, provided an overdose is not applied, even when 'US THE SOIL OF THE FARM.
they contain but little vegetable matter; the avidity of the lime for moisture, added to the chemical changes brought about by it, having the effect of increasing their absorptive and retentive powers in a considerabl...e degree.
The quantity of lime applied need not be large, but may vary, according to circumstances, from 0.05 to .5 per cent., by weight, of the cultivated soil. On a soil ten inches deep an application of one ton per acre would represent a dressing of 0.05 percent.; and ten tons per acre will equal .5 per cent. In actual practice more than five or six tons per acre is seldom applied. This quantity may be required for strong land, or for land containing much organic matter in an inert state; but for light land with little vegetable matter, occasional dressings of one to two tons per acre will, in most cases, be found suflBcient.
