tnis IN AGRIccLruKE.-Ia a paper lately
read by Boussingaut before the Paris Academy
OF Sciences, he stated that lime introduced In

Of az0te in the state of ammonia-tie azote
elements were before united in insoluble com
binations, not assimilablc By plants the action
Of the lime sets them free, and permits part OF
the capital buried in the soil to be utilized for
the next crop Boussingault thinks that Ger.
tain mineral matters, such as pOtas patash and
d1iea, may be liberated in the soil by the lime
thst other substances injurious to plants are
destroyed or modified by the same agent. and
that to these effects is added besides physical
action. changing the constitution of the land
The action Of the lime is thus excessively com.
pick, and its good effects can only be explained
by studying atten,ively the special circumstan-
ces under which they are produced. The grand
fact proved by the present researches of Bous-
singault is, that there exists in mold. as well in
the form Of organic matters az in that of min
efai matters, host Of substances completely
inert for vegetation, until the moment when
some proper agent renders them assimilable by
plants. The continuance of experiments can
alone clear up these complex facts and point
out to our sgriculturists the most effective pro.
Cesses.
