AGRICULTURAL LETTER.

Soil AnaIyses.

Among questions constantly coming to us for solution is the following: Can you by an analysis of tie soil tell Us what it is deficient in. and what t0 add for the production If good cropsf If required to gile sn answer that would cover the whole question we would most eHphStieally say !" To. We can by analysis only obtain par tial indications. For example. let Us assume that we cone across Q soil con- tsining no piiospharic acid. An analysis would show that plOzphoric acid was absent, So far go good and it would he obvious that the addition uf phQsphoric acid would be desirable. Now on the other hand let us suppose that ph0sphorie acid ia present in a medium percentage and found to lr a8 by analysis. Here colaas the diGcuity is 1t, or is it not, available for tine plsnt2 It is generally conceded that the capillary tubes on tho rcptiets Of plants eEude s certain juice which acts upon the mineral matter of the soil in such way as to make 'it soluble aud assimilabie for the plant Unfartu- nately. as yet, We cannot initiate this aeIi3n in our laboratories with any k10wa mixture and so we are u0n- piassed. and for this reason an aaaiy- SIS is0I only comparative he Again, the reserve fund of rock u which soil is constantly being | may contain substances in q dtiuu not availabie t0 plants. and yet soluble iu acids. Ne might iu this Way he again led iuto error, by having mixed with our soil some of this material i4 the transition stage which W0uid yiiiate our results Tn pointing out She in- 5uiticleucy of cur present methods of analyses 1t must rot be thoaght that we condemn them in an absolute man. ner. or that We LeGy the possibility of arriving. perhaps, one day at mere complete results, fer nothing k farther from our thoughts. We simply wish to show things IS they are, to warn you against cherishiag tliiacIOns hopes, and to fully establish this one fact. that al the present time the most h. bolious analysis If a soil is not able Co throw light upon the most vital and essential qaesti0Hs of practical agricul- ture. But if chemical analysis is powerless to help us NC can always fall back on the evidence of the plants themselves. If now remains for us to show the manner of applying this new test.
 h the first place, by the aid Of phos- phoric acid, potash, lime and nitrogen 0us matter, we are rble to bring the most barren soil to the highest degree of fertility; and, further, that these four substances, however eihcaeiOus they may be. only remain 50 as long as they are associated and uni6ed one with the other. for ny sappressing one the remaining three are often rendered inert. and frequently lose the greater part of their activity.
