plants and scarcely less injurious in their effects
on the soil than stones or other substances of an
equally unpulveruent character. This predis-
posi- ion is the result partly of atmospheric pres

attraction of cohesion over the particles constitut
ing the soil The more cayey or argillaceous is
its character the more will this tendency be mani
tested and the more difficult to overcome. It's
therefore indispensable to the healthy deyeIop
ment OF our crops that they may be provided with
medium which is at once light and porous. This
is required in order that the roots may extend
themselves, and take up the dimentary matters
which may be placed at some distance from them.
