The specific action of plaster on
clover and peas being important to the
success of the above plan, and salts
factory explanation of it's mode of oper-
alton being yet desideratum, ven
ture to subjoin the following conjecture
in regard to it: In order to procure
the specific action of plaster on vegeta-
ton, facts would seem to indicate that
it must be applied to sulphur plants
growing on ALKALINE soils, and its
mode of operation may perhaps be thus
explained: The plaster being so APP
piled, dissolved, and taken into the cir
culation, the vascular function of the
plant separates the lime from the acid
and then decomposes the acid, appro-
priating its sulphur, and the oxygen
thus set free while in its nascent state,
being persuaded by the alkali present
in the sap, unites with the free nitrogen
of the air held in the sap and forms
nitrict acid, which Selling on the alkali
forms an alkaline NITRATE, all of which
are known powerfully to promote the
growth of plants.
The well-known fact, that available
nitrogen largely accumulates where
clover, peas, and other leguminous
plants are grown, plainly leads to the
conclusion that these plants have the
faculty of causing heterogeneous combina-
tions within their organism, whereby
they improve the land they grow upon !;
and if not in the way suggested above,
possibly it may be through the agency
of an electric current" produced or
accelerated by the application of the
plaster or it's acid
If this explanation be admissible its
Importance is apparent, as soils not
already alkaline can be cheaply made
so, and the richest vegetable mould is
formed by the decay of sulphur plants,
such as clover, peas, etc.

BILE plowed under, and peas sown and

be cut for soiling, or plowed under in
the preparation for tobacco. Manuring
as suggested in four-feld rotation
oNE-FIELD.
Sow wheat, oats or rye every year
upon an intervening pea fallow, using
lime, potash, bone, lime and plaster as
directed in four-feld rotation; or
Corn may be repeated every year
with gradual improvement by sowing
peas at its last working and hoggine
them down, followed by rye, to be
turned under green for corn as late in
the Spring as may be safe.
Bear in mind there can be no PERMA-
NENT improvement of lands without
giving it mould, and there is no reader
or cheaper way of doing it than by
growing and turning under peas, aided
by dressing, if needed, in organic ma
nures
*Soils may hold insolubIe alkali without
being alkaline in the sense here meant.

The London Times thus concludes a
leader on the centennial celebration Of
the skirmishes at Lexington and Con-
cord:
I'VE have yet to read the speeches
made on the occasion, and the comments
of American journalism upon them, but
we hope both will be pervaded by a more
just and more friendly tone towards this
country than would have been possible
half a century or even a quarter Of a
century ago. If the invectives of the
living can effect the dead, poor old
George Ill, Lord North, and all the
subordinate instruments Of British
tyranny must have expatiated their
guilt under the pitiless fire Of American
oratory on every successive Fourth OF
July during the century. Moreover, the
spirit which this kind Of eloquence kept
alive has, as all the world knows, not
been without its effect on politics. Let
us hope these centenary years will reveal
a fuller knowledge of events and a more
kindly Interpretation Of motives, and
that by the time the Americans come Ia
celebrate the convention at yorktown
the prejudices of a hundred years viii
have vanished"
