Constituents for Soils.

We are too apt too think that earth, no
matter of what it is composed, if it has
plenty of manure, will produce any crop.
To show the error Of this, and the necessi-
ty of studying the composition of the soil,
as well as Of the plants, we need only
look 10 the constituents of few plants,
az found by chemical analysis. Oats take
from one acre of land SO pounds silica, or
dissolved sand; % pounds of potash, II
pounds of lime, six pounds of sulphuric
acid. nine pounds of magnesia. four
pounds Of soda, and six pounds of salt
Now suppose your land originally had no
silica or sand. like swamp muck; you
cannot raise oats on it, although you put
on all the manure in the world, Suppose
it has silica and all the other ingredients.
but lacks phosphoric acid. Oats cannot
mature the seed. If there is not thirty-six
pounds Of potash in each acre, your crop
will fail, although there are all the other
ingredients. and 50 with lime, sulphuric
acid. magnesia, soda and salt. If silica
is wanting. it can be supplied with sand;
If phosphoric acid is wanting it can be
supplied with bone dust; ii potash is
wanted it can be supplied with ashes;
if lime is wanting. that can be applied. This
shows the necessity of every farmer having
sufficient practical knowledge to know
the ingredients of his soil, and the con-
stituents of his plants. This can be learn
ed by course of agricultural readings
and experiments. :.
No two soils are alike, farmer should
learn to know the difference. Thus. two
swamps may look alike. and yet one of
them be composed of mari, and be first
rate manure to apply directly to land, the
other be undecomposed vegetable matter,
full OF resinous matter that prevents its
decay. This last would be acid. and in
furious to land, and should never be used
until it is decomposed by rotting. To
effect this. lime must be applied, which.
uniting with the resinous matter in the
soil, changes it to soap, when the vegeta-
BILE matter will soon decay.
