THE EARTHs NOT FOOD FOR PLANTS.

THE EARTHS NOT FOOD FOR PLANTS.
Giobert mixed together lime, clay, sand
and magnesa, the true earths, in such pro-
portions as are generally to be met with in
fertile soils, and moistioned them with wa
ter. Several different grains were then
thrown into this artificial soil, which gerrnin.
ated indeed, but did not thrive, and perished
when the nourishment of the cotyledons-
the lobes ofthe seeds-was exhausted.-See
Enc. Of Gard. p. POI. Hence it is neither
earths, nor water, nor air, nor all combined
which afford the true food ofplants-though
all arc essential agents in preparing and
celebrating this food. tits vegetable and
animal matters-dung-flthy dung-fl-
thy-that feeds and fattens the plants that
administer to the wants and comforts Of
man and beast.
