CoNposTs.-Ihe business offorming compostsi Is one in which we may derive important assistance from chemistry. Every pant is composed of certain con- stituences. derived either directly from the soil or through the medium of the atmosphere It has been contlusively shown by experiment. that the best manure that can be applied to the grapc-s inc l. a compost formed principally of its own foliage In like mshuer we find that wheat straw, and the haulm of the potato plant constitute the best man for the susteaance of those crops. Anal ey also teaches us that the resduum of all vegetables, or that portion of them which remlins after decomposi tion, contains the true pnbg!1m of ther respective tribes, and that in way cln their growth be more efectually promoted than by their application This is indeed, the course nature pursues In our forests the only alimen the trees receive is furnished by the decay of the annual foliage, with the excep- ton of certain though nnasy yertaincd amount of atmospheric food derived through the me Hum of their leaves, and which is also of V table origin These facts indicate definite course to be pursued In fee ling our crops All vegetable matters are re- prte with the principles of reproduction and should consequently be economizcd and turned to profitable account. Our lands are in want of all the frucifyny substances we can procu>c and this is one of the most prolific sources which hopefully apply.
