A striking instance of the value of lime us n fertiliser may now be .seen (says the Chiistchurch Press) mi Mr Anrlrpw M'l'':irlaiHiV farm at Sjirinctburii. near Mount Someis, where a stiip (if about sin acre of elovei. growing mi Ins land, is showing up in msirUcd contract, to the rest of tiin padilock where no lima was used. A few tl-iys ago Mr I , '. V. Wright and Mr .lohn Hood, of .Mount S-mers, wont across In see a piece of tlm clover cut and weighed. That from an uulimed piece of lsiuil weighed sit the wte of 1 ton lewt per acre, and that from an exactly similar measurement. i»f limed land at the rate of 4 tom Uawt to the acre. This was the second cutting in four months. Two months bro the resultobtiiineii was at the rate of I ton 4cwt and H tons 3ewt respectively, or a difference in favour of the limed laud in four months of 7 tons I lewt as against 2 tons ."icwt cm the unlimed land. The amount of lime used was ].'■ tons to tlio acre, which cost Uμ per ton at the kilns. Thesu results are oertiiinly veiy gratifying, and .should be snlhcient to induce farmers to give tho experiment a trial.
