The Once Of the Soil.

AT FIRST view it may appear a very
simple question to inquire what the
soil does or what to the farmer its Of
flee is in the economy of Nature; but
when we look little farther and begin
to notice the result of the different con-
ditions in which it is found. and of va
riOus methods of treatment, the subject
widens, and its importance begins to be
comprehended.
In the first place, the soil is
a plant food-hOlder. 1t receives
and holds the food washed out
of the atmosphere by rains, and
what it absOrbs from contact with fer
tilizing matters spilled in any man.
ner, and also from what is dissolved
from its own element. 1t is Natures
grand alembic whence is evolved those
matters that constitute the food If
plants, and make up their structure
from the time the seed enters the soil
and through all stages of the growth of
the plant until its perfect fruiti0n into
ripened product.
The processes that go on during this
time are truly wonderful, and the
chemical changes that take place under
the operations of Nature are full of in
tercst, as we'll as value, especially to
the farmer. These changes are pro-
duced by the action of laws operating
on the plant both below and above the
surface of the soil.
A while ago it was thought that to
produce plants abundantly it was nee
essary that the soil should contain .
large quantity of organic matter; but
it has been found that some soils are
very fertile which contain . small per
cent. of organic matter, while others
which possess as high as so or 40 per
cent. are not fertile; consequently that
idea has been discarded. The richest
soils. if lacking in single essential in
organic element, and badly managed,
produce poor crops, while poor soil
often gives . good crop in the hands of
an intelligent, prudent and skillful farm
er. This and other controversies in
which learned writers and experiment.
ers during an extended period are set
tied, and we know now that the soil to
produce good crops must contain both
mineral and heterogeneous elements in
suitable proportions. We have learned
