escape of ammonia in the room. The fluid
should be drawn off once a-week, or oftener,
and renewed by fresh manure. The use Of
fluid manure is not new, having been used long
since in Germany and other countries but
the method is new. Warm manure, in the
spring, would bring the plants forward in ad-
vance of the season.
By the analysis of rain water by chemists,
we learn that very considerable quantities of
ammonia are spread over the surface of the
earth. Atoms of potash and lime are also
found in rain water. These all-important ele
ments, being taken up from the earth by evap-
oration, thus, by the immutable laws Of the
Creator, they are carried to every region, Civ
ing life and energy to the vegetable kingdom.
If man acts properly that part designed him,
(tilling the ground,) i.e., plows deep, they
will sink low into his field and remain for the
benefit of his crops; whereas, if the surface
of his land be hard and impervious to water
they will again be evaporated or pass away
with the water. That was wise saying

must express my great satisfaction and con-
gratulate the farmers of Centre county in their
great good fortune in having the State Agri-
cultural School established in their midst
Situated, as il is, in the centre of the State,
few complaints will be made against its loca-
ton. AS it is in the heart of the State it will.
like the heart in the animal structure, send
forth knowledge from the centre to every por-
tion of the Commonwealth. Young men will
become expert in chemical agriculture-they
will become geologists-new food for plants
will be discovered, and new methods practis-
ed, by which larger crops can be grown, and
in less time than heretofore. The time has
even now arrived, in the present state of agri-
cultural knowledge, that the farmer need not
leave his farm and go to the far west because
his land is worn out. He can resuscitate his
fields in moderate length of time, and make
them productive, if he will but use the knowl-
edge and means already disseminated.
High encomium is due to that gentleman
your county, who literally donated the valua-
bic farm for the State Agricultural School,
from the farmers of this great State and they
will not withhold their esteem and thankful
ness from your enterprising citizens who so
magnanimously subscribed $4,000 additional,
for the furtherancc of this great, good and
useful enterprise.
