In actual waght a talent of gold is .estimated at about equivalent to £6,150 sterling, er more than thirty thousand dollars. In purchasing pow- er it was worth a great deal more. The queen's gift, therefore, was a truly royal one, amounting to $3,600,- 000 or more, in gold, besides the the soil. The experience of practical farmers has brought probably the great majority of users of limestone to be- lieve that the expeese of 'pulverizing the stone should be sufficient only to reduce all of it to a fineness permit- ting it to pase through a 10 to 20- mesh screen. We then have a very considerable proportion that is ab- solutely fine and immediately avail- able, and this is in sufficient amount to meet the soil's need fox the time if the application is made heavy have a lime content whose value is have been seen by some modern and over one-third that of pulverized travellers, nd 'show that it must have! limestone or air -slaked lime.
