Soils.


All soils, whatever may be their mcchani-
cal texture and physical properties, are
derived primarily from rocks, and consc-
quently partakc of the qualities common to
those rocks, before they are disintesratod,
or reduced to that state ormechanical divis-
ions to which we apply the generic term
soil, or earth. Yet soils are rendered pro-
ductive, to a certain extent, by the action OF
molecules, or atoms, derived from the vcge-
table and animal kingdoms. As soon as
plant ceases to LIVE. e., to be actuatcd 10y
tho vitalizing and identifying principle Of
life the chemical aifnitics long held in
check by this power, resume their play, and
the organized structure is rcvolyed back to
its original elements, and thus capacifed for
again ministerins TO the sustenance and sup
port of future generations Of plants. In
this condition, the plant is regarded as man.
urc, and when buried in the soil, conien
upon it that quality which is designated by
the term fertility, or the power Of reprOdne-
Ing vegetable life. One fact, however, it
may not be unimportant here to mention,
4" Soils of different degrees of productiveness,
where their mechanical texture and physl-
cal properties are alike, always contain un-
like quantities of the food Of plants. 1t
seems to make little difference how small is
the lacking ingredient in the composition OF
cultivated plants its absence is fatal TO the
growth Of the crop after its appropriate
ailment fails in the SOIL" Even if this were
not the case, the crops thus grown, being
deficient Of certain principles requisite to
their perfection, would be utterly incOmpc-
tant TO subserye, efsctually, the purposes
for which they were originally Designed. and
which they actually do subscrve, in the
economy of nature, when appropriated a.
food for man or beast. Were grass and
grain capable of growing without the pre-
encc in the soil Of that peculiar element
known as phosphate Of lime, or bone earth,
which they arc nOt-these productions, 50
grown, would never supply to the blood OF
animals the principles r,quisi,e for the for
nation Of bone. Although iron is pres
ent in the blood of animals, no calf, pig,
sheep or horse, was ever yet found which
