might here risk an opinion, why the ap-

sufficient degree of fermentation, to effect a
separation of its parts; but as by no means
profess a critical knowledge of CHEMISTRY,
shall leave to others better versed IN that
science, to assign the cause, and assert the
fact, that by such applications the tenacity OF
the soil is not destroyed, or any visible effect
on vegetation produced. In an open mellow
soil, great effects are not to be expected, De,
cause the state which the plaster is calculated
to produce, already, in great measure exist
