ALTERATION.

Upon this soil of a purely mineral
character plants begin to grow; first,
lichens and plants of simple structure
and low organization which, in time,
die and make room for others, leaving
behind their bodies. Then, as the soil
becomes richer in carbonaceous and
organic matters, higher organized
plants occupy it, passing through the
same phases of life as the former, and
enriching it at an incre ased rate by the
greater number as well as the greater
bulk of their bodies that fall victims to
organic law. Lastly, the higher type
OF plants makes its appearance prepar-
ing and leaving in the course of time
the soil in the condition of virgin fer
tility in which our forefathers found
it and of which, through ignorance Of
the laws of vegetable growth, they
speedily despoiled it.
But the bodies of plants becoming
incorporated in the soil are not only
causes of the alterations which it un-
dergoes by their growth. Many other
factors are active in changing a pure
ly mineral to a fertile agricultural
soil. The roots penetrate it in all di-
rections and often to a great depth,
leaving after the death of the plant, a
net work of narrow channels, through
which air and water with their con-
comitant actions, aided by heat and
frost, work change in the character
of the soil that is helped along by the
roots themselves, which by their acid
secretions attack and dissolve mineral
matter previously insoluble. This
enters the plant, subscribing the physi-
illogical processes of its development
and returns at it's death to the soil
from which it was originally taken,
but in altered forms, in combinations
not previously existing, more soluble,
and, therefore, more readily accessible
to subsequent plants that may need it.
How considerable this factor is even
for single season in modifying the
character of soil, will appear further
on; and be 1t remembered it is not
only the carbonaceous matter of the
plant, not only it's altered mineral
combinations that produce the change,
but also the nitrogen, originally alb
sent from the purely mineral soil and
collected successfully from the atmos-
phere that works modification in a
most important direction. Heat and
cold, dryness and moisture, chemical
action of the roots of the plants upon
the minerals of the soil and the incor-
poration into it of their bodies with
their multiform proximate components
including their heterogeneous constit-
uents aud air with its oxygen and

FORMATION.


following on the conditions and COM
position of the soil:
FORMATION.
The soil is primarily product of the
disintegration of rocks, Weather and
chemical agencies break these down
and the floating power of running
water, grinding and pulverizing the
material, carries the particles to lower
levels. There the broadening of the
streams checks the velocity of the cur
rent and the material, so far buoyed
up and carried along by the moving
water, subsidies and forms land. This
grows by accretion from year to year
until it pushes through the water
where occasional overfows add to it's
height until it escapes eventually even
these and becomes the fit abode of
man.
In this way most of the soils of our
state have originated. The process
still continues and hundreds of thou
sands of tons of valuable mater u are
carried yearly by the turbid floods of
the Mississippi and it's tributaries to
the ocean, there to build at some
future time continent to be the seat
OF an empire like our own. The fine
material in this process of transporta-
ton is naturally carried further than
the coarse, the proportion between
the two being determined by the
nature of the rock from which it is de-
rived, the length of time and char
acter of the atmospheric agencies
working upon it and the velocity of
the water rolling and pushing it
along. The great variety existing in
all these conditions produces, of
course great variety of soils. In our
own state the fine clay like material,
that covers SO large an area of it, be-
speaks remote source north of the
great lakes. The rocks from which it
is derived must have been largely
feldspathic, as otherwise such vast
quantities of clay and clay like earth,
as exists in the Mississippi valley
could not have been produced; but all
rocks containing feldspar, no matter
what their structure and origin con-
tain, beside what eventually will be
clay, potash and phosphoric acid, the
two elements without which no agri-
culture is possible.
How vast the quantity of these
substances is in our soils will appear
further on; but as both of them, as
mentioned, are soluble, they would be
washed away by the rains and car
ried into the ocean if in the disintegra-
ton of the original rock, combinations
of them did not exist or were formed
that prevented this teaching process.
These combinations, while yielding up
to the growing plants from year to
year certain amount from their
stores, thereby rendering continuous
growth possible, are yet in their to-
tally preventive of waste and retain
enough of these most valuable in.
gradients of a soil to preserve it to a
moderate degree of fertility for hun
dreds of years to come.

week much pleased with their visit.
Various entertainments were provided
for the visitors and among other things
they were shown through the great
Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine. On
the last evening of their stay ball and
banquet was given Ia their honor, 200
people being present.
"Wednesday morning the election OF
