Tho Mechanical Effort, Of Roots.


The true mechanical efforts OF roDts are
'xerted in their struggle for progress through
the soil, and examples for illustration ar;
many. To understand the magnitude ol
their work, we must bear in mind that
Zach root displaces an amount Of soil equal
to it's own bulk. Take for instance crop
ci mangel wurzels, aud imagine what an
upheaval must have been produced in the
soil by the growth Of its enormous mas
The whole surface Of field is raised and
its particles loosened.
In practical questions Of the farm, this
power is of value. Those who give turnips
and maDgels place in their system of ro-
tation, do 50 ostensibly for their feeding
value, but beyond this their mechanical
effect is also Of much importance.
The most striking results Of the mechan-
ical power Of roots are seen when they come
incontact with the most resisting obstacles
They haYe been unesrthed from compact
gravelly soil, where the struggle for room
had been SO fierce that they became dis

unusual TO find trees growing in the cleft
