Agricultural Chemistry.

Every farm is vast chemical lab
oratory, and it would seem to be in
Accordance with the fitness of things
if every farmer were a good chem
ist. And every intelligent farmer is
fair practical chemist, whether he
knows it or not, or whether or not
he understands the meaning of a
single technical term in the science.
But no farmer ought to be content
to remain in ignorance of the facts
and nomenclature of chemical
science as laid down in the books.
Every farmer should procure and
study attentively al least on work
upon the elementary principles of
this science. In order, possibly, to
create some little interest in this
subject, on the part of those who till,
the soil ane grow the crude materi
ais of the arts and industries. we
present below resume of some of
the facts in agricultural chemistry.
The chemistry of the farm oper-
ates upon plants as its subject The
simple elements of chemistry are
divided into two great classes, or.
ganic and inorganic, and both class
es enter into the composition of
plants. In plants the organic, or
vegetable and animal, elements
largely preponderate, and are four
IN number, namely, oxygen, hy
drogen, carbon and nitrogen. OF
these, three are invisible gases, and
carbon in its pure state is simply
charcoal. Oxygen and hydrogen
united IN certain proportions form
water and nitrogen is the source
OF ammonia in the soil and in plants.
The inorganic, or mineral, ele-
ments of plants are usually classed
as follows, and are nine in number:
Calcium, sodium potassium, iron.
magnesium, silican, sulphur, chlor-

LATE NEWS ITEMS.

FROM point twenty miles below

is one vast sea OF water. People all through
this submerged region are utterly destitute
and in a starving condition. Their stock has
been drowned and they are living in gin
houses, stable lofts and upper stories of
cabins. Hundreds are subsisting on parched
corn; many have been temporarily relieved
by the distribution of rations, but others
could not be reached and their sufferings
are very great. All published reports have
fallen far short of giving an idea of the dam
aga that has been done or the restitution
prevailing.

William Belcher, who was near, rushed to
the rescue; but before he could remove her
clothing, in doing which his hands were
badly singed, the child was burned to a

simples we must beg the inqu'rlng
reader to con suit Youman, Turner

These several elements enter into
plants in very variable quantities.
not only in respect to the species,
itself, but also in regard to the sou
upon which the particular plant
grew. But one single element, name
" carbon, equals all the rest IN
quantity. That is to say all plants
whatsoever, when Thoroughly desic-
Gated, or driei |, contain 50 per cent
of carbon. This element forms the
framework of the entire vegetable
economy-the bones, as it were'
uoon which the other constituents
are hung. How plants obtain Their
carbon, and how best to treat the
soil IN order that plants may nnbibe
it in sufficient quantities, or whether
indeed they recsive it through the

interesting and important questions
for the farmer to consider. In tac'

Profits of Cotton Manufacturing
in Georgia.

A circular just issued by a bank
ing firm of Augusta, Georgia, gives
some figures of the operations of
the cotton factories in Georgia for
the year just closed. During the
year 1881 the Augusta factory, with
a capital of 100000, declared cash
dividends aggregating 10 per cent,
and passed the same amount to the
surplus fund. The stock is held at
$40 per share. The Graniteville
factory, with capital of $600,0 900,
also paid 10 per cent dividends in
cash, and passed 10 per cent. to the
surplus fund; its stock is also held
at SIG per share. The Langley
Company, with a capital OF $780,
600, paid dividend of 8 per cent.
for the six months ending June 30,
and will pay s per cent. dividend
for six months, ended December 20;
all of the earnings is paid to the
stockholders, and the stock is held
at $3.50 per share. The Enterprise
Company, with a capital of $500,
600, has just added so per cent. to
its capital stock; it made 10 per
cent. dividend in cash for 1881. The
Slbley Company, with capital of
100000, and the John P. King
Company, with capital of 81 .00O,-
600, will soon be in operation, and
their stock is already considerably

China personally identifying them and show
ing they individually belong to one of the
permitted classes, which passports must be
Endorsed by the diplomatic representative of
the United States in China, or by the United
