attempted to accountsfor the phenomenon,
as being the effect Of the Rust.
The following communic cation from one 81

of the cause oftlIis evil

The fibrine Of the wheat, by exposure to
rain and n warm atmosphere, has parted
with some portion Of its nitrogen, which has
combined with hydrogen to form amonia;
this changing its elementary composition,
and like all putrid substances, it becomes
poison.
. The fbrne in good wheat has compost
ton identical with that Of the constituents
Of blood. 1t is especially to be noticed that
oy the phrase identity Of composition is not
meant mere similarity; but even in regard
to the presence and relative amount OF sui
phur, phosphorus, and phosphate lime, no
d ference can be observed. And it is a
well known fact, that no nitrogenZed COM
pound, the composition ofwhich differs from
that is capable Of supporting the vital pro-
cess. ss
The fbrine Of wheat contains nearly II
per cent of nitrogen. which Is held in all its
combinations BY q very slight tenure and

and q warm atmosphere are present. AT
the time of the late harvest ia Missouri, this
was eminently the case, rain fell in abund-
ance almost every day and at The same time
the weather was extremely warm; and in
Crawford and Franklin counties, much Of
the wheat was sprouted before it was stack
