A CHEAP AND VALUABLE FERTILIZER
Peat swamps arc the scpulchres ol
dead plants, containing most Of the ele.
mcnts Of our cultivated crops. Compost.
ing puts this organic matter in condition
to be used. These composts arc largely
made up Of carbon, and their decay in
The soil furnishes carbonic acid gas, both
TO the roots of plants and to their leaves.
The great luxuriauce Of crops upon
drained swamps and fresh clcariugs is due
mainly to the abundant supply of this
gas, furnished by decaying vegetable mat.
Ter. In all cultivated lands the carbon in
the soil is steadily wasting by the removal
of tue crops, and it must be rcetorcd, or
the land will not pay for cu'tivating.
But peat contains nitrogen in considerable
quantities, which furnishes to plants NTH,
acid and ammonia, the most costly ele
mcnts i'll all fertilizers. A ton OF sun.,iried
peat, according 10 the estimate Of Prof
Johnson, contains thirty pounds of nitro.

ammonia, worth, at twenty cents pound,
1920 a ton. This may not be all availa-
Ole for plants Tie frs. season, but it is so
mu-h p!an.-food stored away in the soi,
certain to be wanted in due time.
Besides the nutrimcnt which is furnished
directly by tie reat, it helps the soil in
other ways. 1t ahso,bs water, and holds
it like sponge for n long time. This
property Of peat makes it exceedingly
valuable for thin, sandy, and gravely

Nobody can predict with confidence
what position Grant will take as President
or what he will do. lie may 60 with ono
wing Of his party, or he may 60 with the
other, or, disgusted with both and annoyed
and tormented by both, he may 60 witt,
neither. We have no doubt, that, before
getting through one-half of the term Of
office for which he has been elected, he will
be denounced by large proportion of bis
own party far more bitterly than he has
ever been Denounced by the Democracy
Undoubtedly he would DO exceedingly
glad to with the whole of his friends who
