The substance of thc following remarks
was lately delivered at he meeting Of the
American AericOltarn, a ssooia,ion IN New
York. by Il. L plll. We copy from tho
American Asricaliuralist.
Mr.. Pell rose aud said By analysis il is
known that all cereal grains cruct!erous and
ieguminons plants, trees and shrubs, require
in the soil tho same chemical substances,
but in different quantities. These are eley.
en-. viz; potash, soda, lue, uognesia, oia.
nina, oxide Of iron. oxide OF magncsia, sil'
lea, sulahuric aed, phosphorus acid, aud
chlorine. Ii QUO Be- absent, The soil will
not grow ANY cultivated plant Hence en-.
nlysis of soils is necessary for o proper and
economical application Of manure. 10 q
barren soil one necessary Ingredient alone
might be absent. II gAsD, ten ingredients
be added aud the eleventh kept back, the
soil is still barren. lleGce, tho reason
why so much Of New York viii not grow
wheat, and ye, will grow other grain: the
requisite quantity OF some one or more
chemical ingredients necessary for whesi is
absent, but in sufficient quantity FOR rye, &c.
When, at last, cultivated plants cease 10
grow, the five finger vine appears, as I re-
CURES still less Of them. In such a stage 1
is pot rare that on expense Of three dol
lars per acre will enable soil to produce
so bushels Of wheat. l produced 7s8
bushels Of wheat on piece OF worn out
ground, by fifty cents worth otiwo ingredl.

straw or wheat be giyeu TO the ground It
will produce wheat; indeed wheat may be
grown on pane Of glass. il the seed be GOV.
cred with whea, straw in decomposiug
state. Hence the farmer may sell the grain
bu, no, the straw. The farmer who sells
straw becomes poor no she buys ii grows
rich.
