s Tx recent number Of the A0ricultur0l
GGzetts this subject ID discussed from q
scientific standpoint The article CON
tains much valuable dsta which will be
found useful, and we herewith reproduce
the material portion Of 1T:
Prof. Playfafro 7says that nom every
wheat growing farm5of 800 acres, ON the
|f@ouI,eourss systsn' there Is removed
straw, more than $4,000 pounds of aka
lies, about 1000 pounds Of salts Iof2lime
and magnesia, $4,000 pounds Of silica,
and nearly $1,000 pounds Of phospates,
the latter being found nearly altogether IN
the grain, and therefore almost all re-
moved from the premises. Phosphate of
lime, magnesia and soda and potash, and
some other p~hospates are necessary, for
theformation of great many seeds, and
are found in considerable quantity, les
Fpecially in those of the cereals indeed, it
has been often remarked, that the Cereals,
like domestic animals, naturally follow
man in his migrations. The seeds Aof. all
kinds of grasses, beans, peas and Tlentils,
also contain q large proportion of the
pho6phatea. sS5SSRE EeaAmzE~Nl
EnapplyiDg bones to land for the pur-
pose of restoring the phosphatesa the
farmer must not expect to see any great
improvement upon the next succeeding
crop If he wish them to have an imme-
date effect, he must mix with sulphuric
acid and water; but this diminishes the
permanency of their action and in some
measure entails a. loss. IS the, increased
solubi1fty of the manure renders it liable
to be washed away, beyond the sphere Of
the plantSby. rains. , The; medium state
between too great fnseIubihtY, and too.
great solubility of bones, is after bruising
Them This gets rid of the. .ge1atine or
glue with which they are combined, and
which diminishes their solubilfty If thel
soil be rich IN vegetable matter. E53A =.
According % DR.. Plsyfair, every farmer
should keep an account Of stock, with Q.
debtor and creditor side, for each field ;
then in his crops he could tell how many
pounds of potash, of phosphates, and Of
msgnesia, he had robbed the soil of by.
the growth of the plants, and let him give
credit to the field in manure for those
amounts of which he had robbed II. If
he robs it onIysof potash, asin the case of
turnips, why should he be at b expense
of giving it silica and various other ingre-
dientsf Let himIgiye back the potash
there is no use in giving a host of other
things to the soil let him give suchma-
nure as is necessary and useful 10 the
plant, and not put in several other things
which the plant does not require.
