The Soil Breathes.

Certainly it does, just as truly as you. A
few wears since if one asserted that trees had
lungs and hrea,hed he would have been held
to an argument to prove it, just u few years
earlier nobody would have believed that a
fish's gills, and the leaves of tree and
the lungs Of beast, all performed the same
office, that of pra,ing the blood or sap The
soil breathes. How does it breathe? Its
circulating fluid, the blood Of the soil. is
water; this comes to it from the air, and is
really arated. True, but this soon loses lis
gases by contact with the soil, just as the
arleria blood fresh from the lungs loses
its oxygen when passing its circuit in all
parts of the body. The blood comes back
t. the lungs for oxygen, but the blood of
the soil cannot do this SO we must let the
air in to come in contact with it. We can
not here explain the working of the air in the
soil, but would thus br fly enforce the neces
s;y of stirring the soil during drouths as
deeply as practicable, not to interfere with
the roots of growing plants and those of
previous culture, so tha: a deep, light soil
shall invite free circulation of air beneath
the surface. Hot air, the moment it presses
beneath the surface, becomes very moist from
the water which it originally contained, and
it deposites it, thus not only nra;ing the soil
but adding to its moisture. Cold air can
hold but little moisture, but the air dssoves
an immense quantity, which it deposits
when it cools, or on cool surfaces. Who
has not noticed of winters day locomotive
leaving behind it a snowy cloud of vapor,
like a comets tail, of en- floating for minutes
after the tain has passed? Think of this,
and watch the steam ear on a day like those
of midsummer. the hot breath just as full of
water as in winter, is pufed out into the eye
of the sun, and not steam enough shows to
make shadow-it is so quickly absorbed
