Agricultural.
Sources Of Fertility in Soils.

AleOlS, III Ills CIleiHiS"' Aooo"'eA
es, says; IF we calculate from
the result of ash-analysis, the
quantity of phospholic acid re-
quired by wheat crop, including
grain and straw, we find the wheat
demands more abundant supplies
for phosphoric acid than any 9TH
erplants Wheat consumes phos-
phoric acid in greater quantities
during the growth Of the seed
than atany other period; and this
is the time when practical men
believe the soil to suffer the great
est exhaustion. Plants in gener-
al derive their carbon and nitrogen
from the atmosphere; carbon in
the form of carbonic acid, nitro
gen in the form of ammonia; from
water (and ammonia) they receive
hydrogen; and sulphur from sui
phuric acid"
Bendrimont mentions the ex-
istence of interstitial currents in
arabic soils, and the influence they
exert on agriculture. He states,
''that there is natural process at
work by which liquid currents
rise to the surface, and thus bring
up materials that help either to
maintain its fertility or modify it's
character" Many phenomena of
agriculture and vegetation have
at different times been observed,
which, hitherto inexplicable, are
readily explained on this theory;
such, for example, as the improve
ment that takes place in fallows,
and there is reason to believe that
these currents materially infu-
.ence the rotation of crops.
Take the mastery views of
Schlieden, in Germany. He as
serts that ''the goodness of the soil
depends on its inorganic constitu-
ents; SO far, at least, as they are
soluble in water, or through con-
tinued action of carbonic acid,
and the more abundant and varied
these solutions the more fertile
the ground"
The amazing yeald of Indian
corn in Mexico, from two to six
hundred fold, is something which
with all our skill, we can not &C.
complish, and is a fact in favor of
the argument ''that in no case do
the organic substances contained
in the soil perform any direct parts
of the nutrition of plants"
All chemists are agreed as to
the source from which the oxygen
and hydrogen ofplants are derived,
the principal of which is water
All of them agree that the carbon
of vegetables is derived principally
from the air, partly from the soil.
It becomes evident, then, from the
most conclusive proofs, that hu-
mus in the form in which it exists
in soils does not yield the smallest
nourishment to plants. The ex-
cellentadvantages derived from the
experiments of talented and in
dustrious men, who have directed
every effort to aid practical agri-
culture, justly entitle them to gol-
den praise from mankind. Leibig
has the merit of having been the
first who laid before the public
some views as to the source of the
constituents Of plants. He re-

cause these soils do not contain

therefore, the growth of the wheat
is arrested, even though all oShel

abundance.
