would long before have been exhausted, or its
effect lost by leeching or evaporation. The clay
combining with the sand, bad constituted new
and distinct soil, improved over both its COM

On one side of the field Of corn ] planted two
rows of potatoes, perhaps hundred rods in

from disease, except across the piece where the
clay had been deposited. Here the rot exhibit
ed itself and had seriously affected the crop
The seed was precisely similar, and tho earth in
every particular the same, except as it had been
changed or modified by the incorporation Of the

other deduction from these facts, than the con.
