LETTER FROM PROF. EMMoNS.


70 His Eceelleaey, Dawn s. REID:
Sir: The doctrine that / have attempted to es-
tablish, viz that the continued of certain min
era fertilizers to be useful after few years. is
sustained both by theory and observation. Many
planters and farmers have already carried the of
the active manure to that point when they are
convinced that their lands appear to be injured by
them, or rather to that point where they have not
only ceased to give therusual returns but they have
actually been diminished by their employment.
These results seem to be paradoxica but really they
in accordance with the established principles of
the vegetable economy, and in harmony with all
that is known OF the principles of husbandry-
whether take into consideration the composition
Of the SOIL the composition of vegetables. 1t is
now established that plants have special wants and
that those special wants supplied only from the
soil in which they grow. The use of Guano proves
that it cannot in itself supply all the wants of the
plant. If it does it would be absurd to suppose
that complaints could arise from its failure to
supply them and the only rational account which
be given of its failure is, that it has given pow
the plant to appropriate to itself larger amount
of the fertlizing elements in given time than is
possible under the ordinary modes of culture, and
hence, those elements which exist only in the pro-
portions of of one per cent, far removed
from the soil, in the crops that they are inaccessi-
BILE the roots in sufficient quantities to meet the de-
mands of nutrition Practically, then, Guano should
be used only temporarily to time and to put
the planter in possession of means to go without
it. by the of the slower and less active manures-
those of the stable, refuse vegetable NATTER straw,
leaves, etc. 1t has appeared to the writer that 1t
would be better to mix Peruvian Guano with the
mineral phosphate of lime and Gypsum-wth Gyp-
sum, to fix all the ammonia and with mineral
phosphate, for giving permanence to the compound.
When planters and farmers understand the effects
and results arising from the of Guano they will
husband their means for keeping up the fertility and
productiveness of the soil without it. They will
find that there is necessity for expenditure of
cash for expensive fertilizer for the same field
two years in succession. This valuable substance
will then take its rank and true position among 9th
err fertilizers. We should not discard the of
Guano or any of the mineral manures, for the COM
plants which have been set forth against them.
More complaints have arisen because their action
and effects have not been understood But when
we give q rational account of their failure to
US, and when moreover comprehend
the way by which their seeming injury may be REM
edied it is certainly unwise to refuse the aid they
hold out to when properly used.
Most respectfully,
Your obi serv't,
E. EMMONS, State Geologist.

EXCITEMENT PoLTrIcAL MEETING. Gen. Cass
delivered political speech to about 1900 persons
at Chicago, the Goth instant. He listened to
with great attention. but after he sat down
called for three groans for Judge Douglas, who
also on the stand. The call was Kissed down, but
cheers given for Ohio Pennsylvania, and In
diana. The Chicago Tribune saysi-
At this juncture considerable confusion prevailed,
when some one called for a speech from Frederick
Douglass, (black MANI who was in the room. 1t
caught up and responded to, apparently, by five
hundred persons. The effect was exciting if a
bomb-shell had been thrown into the ROOM Colonel
Snowhook rushed upon the stand and brandished
his fist at the crowd, while Colonel Hamilton declar
ed, in the most emphatic manner, that if Douglass
came to the stand he would have him sent to the
watch-house Such an up,oar followed we have
seldom witnessed. 1t seemed as if pandemonum
had broken loose and the threats ofthe Nebraskaites
only made the matter worse. Frederick Douglass
had the good to retire, during the confusion,
but the crowed did not know it. The meeting
dispersed by some turning off the gas.
