VpTietieS of Soil.

a
; Some Aof the most valuable improve.
ments in modern agricultre, pressed 4rem
the discovers, that all plants do not ex-
haust from lie sod, in which they grow,
the same ingredients or component parts
ofitsand that no two plants of difeTeat
kind abstrac, the same proportions of each
Ingredient.
- ( Hence, beyond all question, It is res.
tab.isbed; 1st That every kind of soil is,
in its material state, fitted for the produce
ton of some one or other of the thousand
plants that cover the earth; I'd. That the
addition to ii, by human labor, of those
Ingredients or substances of which any
sEoiI Is deficient will fit it for the production
of plants that require those ingredients.
Carefal examination has also shown
that silicious or flinty matter not only
constitutes lare portion Ofall soils, but
also the largest ingredient in the COM
position of oats, wheat, Indian corn, rye
and barley. It also demonstrates that
certain other substances, of which lime
els always one, are contained in these
and other plants, a very large portion of
it entering into the comPositioa cfcloFer
and corn. s..-t
From these facts, it follows that the ad.
dHion of lime tosoils from which it is nat
orally absent, must confer upon them the
: power TO produce the Sc useful plants, es-
pecially corn and clover, so far as uhpro.
dUctiveness of them was caused by its
absence,
The same may be said of potash, soda,
magnesia, and certain acids, all of which
are ingredients in most of the useful
plants.
r IN this view Of our soil, the presence
of limestone in large quantities in any
country, is second ia value to that of no
other mineral; not even excepting coal
or iron.
For, as the productions of the farmer
are indispensable TO persons in every
business, and as the proper application OF
lime to the soils which are destitute of it.
will convert them into fruitful agricultural
districts, the value of limestone must be
beyond that of any mineral we possess.
Nor does this good effect alone follow
ahe additien Of lime or any other single
substance of which a soil happens to be
deficient. The mixture of entire soils
with each other. often has the same re-.
sult. For instance, the cartipgOf a GER
tain proportion of the surface ofrich bog
gy or bottom land upon upland, OF the
reverse; the addition of pure sand 10 stiff
clay fields, or the application ofany other
soilto one oGan entirely dissimilar char.
acter, has generally the same beneficial
effect.
20 In all these cases, the applied soil be.
ing dissimiiar from that to which it is ad.
ded, the chances are, even without the
certainty of scientific analysis, the
productive substances have been obtained
and consequently that productiveness
will be increased.
81 In this way there is great truth in the
remark, that, in the hands of judicious
farmer, almost every farm contains,
within its limits, means OF its own fertili.
