Sources Of ammonia and Value This subject,
which had been postponed several times, was called
nm and DIR. WATERBURY, gave the members present
a short. Interesting and variable discourse, and by
request win contnue the subject at the next meeting
which will be the first Tuesday IN August. we can
fpd room only to hint few things the Doctor said,
Is fellows
DR.. WAIERBuRY-The whole doctrine Of nianuringis
based upon this question-the source OF ammonia.
The constituents Of al plants are nonzea ana n T

fuel TO keep up the heat. One experiment. N nous'n-
ralts was TO weigh ell the manure that went upon

Do farmers ever think Of how much money they throw

Wheat Grorn on a SandHeap.-Mr. FIELD Of
Brooklyn exhibited shoots of wheat thirty stalks
to Kernel, grown upon piece Of ground composed
entirely Of sand led in from grading street. without
a single particle Of manure What IL II that hss fer
tilted these plants IL it the wash from the clayey
land lying above the "trip where the wheat grew as

ing the piece only included IL because could not
wen leave it rest but did not manure it as hd the
other portion Of the lot, because thought it would
not produce anything Yetthrs grew the best wheat
Why Can any one answer, unless 1t u deep disin-
teeration and an abundance Of rain. What does this
fact provel -
Solos RoBrSsoS-It proves the value Of irrigation,
and that water aud deep cultivation is worth more
without manure than shallow cultivation with plenty
of manure and little water. This subject OF irrigation
needs discussion. After talking OF fruits and a1mone
at the next meeting, if We have time let ns TAX o.
irrigation. AGREED.
