the ammonia contained in the euano had
little if any thing to do with the fertilizing
effect of the guano.
With regard to the supply from whence
the nitrogen necessary to the life and growth
and plants is drawn, Liebig teaches US
p. 292: Cali calculations and experiments
give the sam result, viz that even on the
most untavourable supposition a field re-
celves back, by the rain alone, actually
more, certainly not less, heterogeneous nou-
rishment, than it loses in the ordinary course
of agriculture. This fact may we'll Justify
the assertion, that a farmer need trouble
himself as little about a compensating sup
ply of nitrogen as Of carbon. Both are, in
fact, originally constituents of the air, or
capable of again becoming air-constituents,
and are in the circulation oflife inSeperable
from one another"
The sources, from which plants draw
their food-elements are two the atmos-
phcre and the soil. AS the former is ever
in motion, the plants growing on a certain
space of land can by no length and extent
Of previous cultivation on the land become
deprived of the ingredients furnished by the
air but as no such internal motion takes
place in the soil, the substances taken out
OF it and consumed by the plant become
lost to the land, if the plants which have
absorbed them, are removed, and this alb
straction and removal it is, which consti-
tutes the exhaustion or Impoverished of
the soil, and which can only be remedied
in one way, viz. by placing into the soil
bodies containing the chemical mineral sub
stances which had been withdrawn by the
earlier growths, /. e. the crops, taken from
the land. It is true, that the same decom-
position of rocks and stones, by which the
mineral elements of plantfood had originally
been formed, goes on continually, but this
restitution Of nutritive matter through un-
assisted nature proceeds SO slowly, that it
is practically of no avail, and unless the
process Of exhaustion by continued cult
walton be counteracted, by restoring to the
soil an adequate quantity Of the materials
hitherto removed although indispensable to
the vegetation, the deficiency must reach a
point, when the plant formerly raised on
the ground, can no longer grow there. But
long before this stage Of exhaustion is
reached, the time arrives, when the product
becomes so small, that it does not repay
the expense Of cultivating, and when the
sad conviction, that such is the case, COM
pels the disappointed farmer or planter to
abandon the cultivation. The process of
exhaustion mere described will be, not pre-
vented, but retarded, if there is a periodical
change in the kind of plants raised on
the land, for as different plants support
themselves, to some extent, on different
substances, the same plant. if exclusively

PEA AS A

AMONG the many important subjects of
the highly instructive lecture delivered
several weeks ago by Col. R. A. Stewart
on tropical culture, the use Of the pea as a
fertilizer must be looked upon as perhaps
the most interesting but to prevent a
misunderstanding, which might in the end
lead to serious injury, it is necessary to
have Il more intimate knowledge of the
way in which the burying of the p%ea-vine
IN the ground benefits the soil, and renders
It fit for the increased production of cane,
after the exhaustion Of the soil in conse-
quence of long continued injudicious cul-
t%ivatlon.
A proper understanding of cause and
effect In the present case is so much the
more necessary, as the impression produced
by Mr.. Stewards statements upon some at
least of his hearers has been, as if the pro-
cess in question would open up an mex
haustible mine of wealth, a perfect Ri
Dorado, to our impoverished soil.
The writer ofthese lines, although neither
a practical agriculturist nor possessed of q
knowledge of chemistry, feels no hesitation
in publishing the required explanation, as
IN SO doing he only communicates the
teachings of an author we'll known in the
world Of rational agriculture,
In his late work on the natural laws Of
husbandry English translation, London
1869, Baron Liebig repudiates altogether
the earlier theory of the pre%ponderating
efficiency of nitrogen as a fertilizer, and o
considerable part of the work is devoted to
prove the fallacy of the theory. It will,
however, be sufficient in this place to quote
the following passages "When at length
people discovered, that, among all the sub
stances used for manure, the excrements
of animals and the parts and constituents
of animals, surpassed all the rest in opera
tive power; when, too, chemical analysis
had shewn that nitrogen was the chief ele-
ment in these substances, it is not surprising
that nitrogen was then esteemed the sole,
and afterwards the principal, agent in man
ure. This process of reasoning is in ac-
Cordance with nature and cannot be found
fault with. At that time it was not known,
that the ash (ncombustible, mineraD con-
s%tituents of plants, potash, lime and phos-
phoric acid, play as important a part as
nitrogen in the vital processes of plants;
nay, not even an idea had been formed Of
the manner, in which the nitrogen of nitro
genous compounds operates" page 293.
Again 'Chemical analysis showed, that
Peruvian guano was very rich in salts of
ammonia, and that one half of it's nitrogen
existed in the form of ammonia. But am
monia was already we'll known as an ele-
ment of nutrition for plants, and this afford

piled to 1t from the atmosphere, does not
diminish the supply for the following crops,
and that it is therefore quite Indifferent,
with regard to these constituents, whether
the plant, which contains them, be replaced
IN the ground or removed from it, how can
we reconcile with this truth the promise of
Mr.. Stewart, to restore fertility to the i'm
poverIshed soil, by raising peas upon it and
buryIng the vine into the soil ? For we
have admitted, that the nutritive matter
contained in the plant, which had been
drawn from the atmosphere, is of no value
to the following crops, and in what con-
Germs the incombustible or mineral sub
stances, as they had previously been alb
stracted from the soil, it appears to be no
more a gain to the latter to receive back
what had been withdrawn from it, than the
contents of a money-chest would be in
creased by taking out the cash and then
replacing it.
1t would thus appear, as if either Liebig's
theory Is wrong, or that Mr.. Stewart is at
fault, and that there is nothing for it, but
to decide upon, which of them to take for
a guide and which to reject. This is how

opposite opinions may be reconciled, al
though with an important reservation with
regard to the extent, to which MIR. Stewards
remedy is effective and the solution Of the
problem is to be found in the general ma
ture of soils and the modes of action of diff
terent plants upon it. There is in this re-
spect a distinction between the upper part
of the land, the surface, or as Liebig calls
it, the arabic soil, and the subsoil, the diff
ference occurring from six to ten inches
under the surface of the land.
Now the plurality Of plants cultivated
periodically by man confne themselves to
the arabic land for their nourishment, their
roots not extending further. Consequently
the exhaustion and Impoverished caused
by them is limited to that part, and a cer7
tain piece of land may thus have become
unit for the production of such plants,
while the subsOil contains an abundant store
OF the required materials, untouched and
to get possession of this store of the subsoil,
is the object in view, and attained by the
plOughing IN of the pea-vine, this plant
belonging to those, which, instead of draw
ing their nourishment from the upper layer
Of the land, strike their roots right through,
and absorb for their use the food-ingredients
of the sub-soil. 1t must here at the sam
time be noticed, that the earthly particles
of the soil possess a peculiar power of COM
bining with the nutritive substances coming
into contact with them, from which they
cannot be separated by the action of water,
but which ceases, whenever they are reach

The social and political principles which
the New York EVENING Posi- has so long
and faithfully supported, it will continue
in the future to advocate. What these
principles are, our readers well know;
they may be summed up in few words:
National Unity, State independence, and
Individual Freedom and Equality OF
Rights. The perpetuity and supremacy of
the Union, as the guaranty OF our national
strength and glory; the independence of
the States, in all their local affairs, as the
guaranty against an oppressive and dam
gerous Capitalization the Freedom and
Equality of the Individual, without regard
to birth or accident, as the right1ul end of
all government, and the surest means of
social development, personal happiness
and national progress.
These principles the EVENING Posi- will
support and recommend to the people,
without regard to party associations. We
shall never support any party in its de-
partureS from them, and shall endeavor,
so far as our influence extends, to cause
them to be recognized by mon of all par
ties.
