know that there is an abundance of the
soluble plant food at hand. Such soils,
however, are not necessarily of a lasting
quality. Especially is this the case in
any sandy soils, as the sand occupies a
great deal of space, without changing it
self into any substance which plants can
assimilate with them Many soils con-
tain a considerable quantity of soluble
plant-food while the insQluble parts are
scarce Such soils bear good crops for a
few years and then give out ether sud
denly or gradually.
Other soils, on the contrary, contain
an abundance of insouble salts, which
by the gradual addition of certain sub
stances. or by the influence of the atmos-
phere, dissolve and furnish nutriment
for crops for long time. The principle
of maturing soils is based upon these
facts We must add not only fertilizers
which can be Immediately assimilated
with the crops we are to raise, but we
must also add other substances in order
to dissolve these ingredients which alreay
exist in the soil, but which require to be
chemically charged before they could be
of any use to the crop. Among the most
powerful fertilizers are ammonia and
phosphates. All plants take them up
readily, and their addition to the soil is
almost Immediately effective of an i'm
provement in the growth of the plants
Barnyard manures are especially valuable
on account of the ammonia and salts
they contain and which is largely increas-
ed by a gentle fermentation.
Such manures must therefore be slight
ly fermented before applied on the land,
and should never be allowed to previous
ly dry out. The moisture in stable ma
nure keeps the ammonia confined and
prevents it from evaporatirg, while dry
stable manure which has been exposed to
sun'and wind for months has already
lost large portion of those substances
which make the manure so valuable when
property udHul0u. IU0 common practice
to spread stable manure over the land
and to allow it to lie exposed on the sur
face for months is therefore to be con-
demned as great waste. Such manure
deteriorates rapidly; aud the sooner it is
plowed under the more valuable it will
prove.
GuanO contains ammonia, phosphates
and nitre, and is on that account one Of
the most valuable fertilizers to be found.
Another class of fertilizers are those which
are not taken up directly by the roots,
but which change the insolublepla food
into soluble. Such fertilizers are salt
petre and gypsum. A soil that is natur-
ally poor would, therefore, not begreatly
benefited by either of them. Saltpetre
and gypsum are really the fuel which pre-
pare certain parts of the soil to do it's
work. A handful of gypsum, wheel
barrow of apparently poor soil will make
the latter very fertile, while the same
quantity OF gypsum in actually poor
soil would not add to it's capacity of pro-
ducing crop.
