LIMING THE SOIL
The man who first discovered liming found something like magic, writes Mr Michael Graham in the “Spectator.” Nothing is more fascinating than to watch life increasing after the liming of a pasture that needed it; clover where there was none; the loud hum of bees where there was silence; sleek coats on the animals where there had been dullness before. But, as in all ordering of live things —land, animals, or human beings—if power is abused someone will pay for it, sooner or later, for “lime feeds, the father, starves the son.”
