Creation is the organ, and gracious man
finds out its keys, lays his hands thereon
and wakes the whole system of the universe
to the harmony of praise. Mountains and

the bass of the chorus; while the trees of
the wood, and all things that have life, take
up the air of the melodious SONG. -Spurpeon.

Theorize over this as we way, the
fact remains that organic nitrogen is
slower in its action and decidedly less
satisfactory, as far as either immediate
or final results are concerned, than are
the more readily soluble and immedi-
ately available chemicale, as nitrate of
soda, sulphate of ammonia, etc. In the
instance of the experimental farm at
Southern Pines we think the land is
too fresh (humus being already present
In excess), hence already too open,
loose, mellow and porous, which said
too loose and OPEN condition the pea
vines would have tendency to exag-
gerate. Possibly, as Prof Massey and
his very efficient assistant Mr.. Alex.
ander Rhodes, are experimenting the
experiments at that place, these gem
tlemen may be able to throw some
light on this question.
From the beneficial effects !of lime
upon every plot to which it has been
applied. including those plots where
pea vines had been turned under. we
can not avoid the belief that our tn cory
rs briefly outlined above is correct, but,
ii not, we are open to conviction, and
anxious to be put on the right track
