The chemical Constitution of the Soil.


Each kind of soil establishes upon itself,
so to speak, a vegetation suited to its own
peculiar nature, one that requires most a.
bundently those substances which actually
abound in the soil. And the art of man
cannot long change this natural connection
between the living plant and the kind of
land in which it delights to grow, but he
can change the character of the soil itself;
he can alter both its physical qualities and
its chemical constitution and thus can fit it
for growing other races of plants than those
it naturally bears, or if he chooses the same
races in greater abundance and with in
creased luxuriance. 1t is in fact, in the pro-
duction of such changes that nearly all the
labor and practical skill of the husbandman
apart from local peculiarities of climate,
ect-is constantly expended. For the at
tainment of this end he drains, plows. ma
lures, and otherwise treats his lands. By
these and similar operations the land is so
changed as to become both able and willing
to nourish and riDen those peculiar plants
which the agricul'urist wishes to raise.
The intelligent agriculturist studies these
peculiarities of his soil, the effect that differ
emit fertilizers have nron them and their
connection with the crop he wishes to raise.
The operations of the husbandman in pro-
ducing changes upon the land are either
mechanical or chemical. When he drains,
plows, or subsoils, he alters chiefly the
physical character of the soil. When he
lines OF manures it, he changes the chem
ical condition of it. We know that the crops
we grow contain certain organic elements,
and each some element or elements pecul-
ia- to itself; these are partly obtained from
the soil and from the air. 1t follows then
that certain amount of these elements,
must be extrcated from the soil by every
crop, and it also follows that these must be
returned from some source to the soil again
before it will be capable of producing
another as good crop. Some soils may be
SO rich in abundance of the elements of
plant growth that time will require to ex-
haust them, but time will do it, and he who
forgets this fact or neglects to act upon it,
will soon find his crops diminishing in yields
and probably conclude that farming dozen
not pay. II is true men may succeed IL
farming by hard labor and with little know :
edge of the soil, etc., 1.-THE material they
have with which to manufacture crops, but
with intelligence connected with econo-
nv and labor much better results would
certainly follow. Whatever business men
enter into they should make that a study
and try to understand, if possible, all con-
nected with it. There is theoretical as
we'll as practical side to agriculture, a
knowledge of both ensures success.-Cana
dian Farmer.

general tone of the body is improved, and
feats of strength and endurance are per-
formed without fatigue. When and under
what circumstances horses should be clipped
or singed are at this season of the year in
teresting questions. The time for removing
the coat Is too frequently governed by the
temperature and character of the weather.
When the month of October is mild and
open. many horses are allowed to run in
their coats until November, and to COM
pleteIy develop new jacket before clipper
is used. There are reasons, we think, for
questioning the policy OF such a practice If
the hair is to be removed, it should be done
while the weather is yet mild, before the
new coat has become fully developed. The
effects of clipping are then less severely felt,
and the increasing cold is better tolerated
than If the hair be removed latter in the
season. Some persons who eschew smuggling
clip two or three times in the winter, and SO
long as it is not done closely, there is moth
g to be said against it, but where close
clipping is adopted a second and third time,
i'll consequences can only be avoided by the
most scrupulous after-care.
TO say that all horses should be clipped
would be a little absurd, but when the work
is quick and the general health good, both
old and young are equally benefited by the
operation, Notwithstanding our very mutable
climate. When there exists any morbid SEN
sibiity of skin and tendency to disease, both
clipping and smuggling should be avoided, as
either NAV awaken dormant eruptive mall
adv, and thus lead to considerable incon-
venience and trouble Agricultural
