Sand, Litne and Clay* and their U*e* in
elation.
The great use of alumna appears to
be in giving fixity and substance to the
sandy particles ol a soil. In this view,
clay is exceedingly beneficial. Many
barren, sandy soils, which would not
produce crops at aH~—”iudeed, mere
shifting sands have been converted in
to fine arable land by spreading clay
over the sand; the manner ol doing
which will be described herealter,
when we come to such subjects as the
claying and marling ol sand.
Beside the mere mechanical benefit
of clay in uniting and binding a soil, it
is ol material service in absorbing and
retaining moisture. By reference to
the experiments given below, We see
that clay absorbs water more quickly
and more abundantly and re.utns it
more tenatiously than sand. Clay does
not heat so rapidly as sand, with the
sun, and it cools more rapidly'.: thus
h lping in hot weather to maintain an
equal temperature in the soil. It does
not become so cold as sand in the win
ter, and as the action of the I rosl causes
it to contract, it closely surrounds the
roots of plants and prevents them from
being frozen.
Clay has also pre-eminently the prop
erty of absorbing ammonia cal and other
gases, which are generated by decay
ing manure in the soil. If in a stable
from whence the strong fumes of esca
ping ammonia are issuing, you place a
quantity of dry powdered clay, that
strong smell and gaseous effluvia,
which almost took your breath, and
made your eyes smart, will disappear.
Where has it gone? It is still produ
ced as before, and yet its presence is
not perceived. The dry clay absorbs
it; and the escaping gases are fixed on
the earth, adding to its enrichment,
(gypsum or plaster of Paris has pre
cisely the same effect in a more strik
ing degree.) A clay%oil^r at least one
containing clay will
more benefieiai1yan\completely use
the manure laid on ii.J Where manure
is put on land and pVwed in, for in
stance, the ammoniaeal and other gases
produced by its decom|>ositiou are
formed in the soil, and are partially ta
ken up into the plants: but being form
ed faster than the plants can absorb,
these products float away to waste, ex
cept the soil can attract and absorb
them, ami thus hold them over until
ihey are required. This, clay will do;
this, sand will not do—this, lime will
not do—and hence it follows that lands
containing clav, constitute the most
lasting and piohfic soils anti the most
economical for manuiing.
Lime is the third chief constituent of
soils. It is (bund in very various pro
portions in soils according as they are
calcareous or otherwise; in some soils
it exists to the extent of 55 to CO per
cent of the en'ire soii; in others not
more than 15 or 20 per cent; while in
some it either exists in very small quan
tities, or may be accounted altogether
absent.
The presence of lime is extremely
valuable to soils, and its artificial ap
plication necessary to the production of
successful crops, w here it does not nat
urally exist. Its uses may be consid
ered in reference to its action on the
soil, and in direct application to living
plants themselves.
Lime acts on the soil, in loosening
and rendering friable stiff clays—in
binding and rendering compact loose
sand—but mostly in acting as a solvent
to sand, and as a digester and dissolv
er of animal and vegetable matter in
the soil. Where lime finds vegetable
fibres which are not only useless but
injurious to sand, it decomposes them,
and yields up their substances as hu
mus to the living vegetation. Even
slugs, worms, and noxious insects, it
wholly or partially destroys, and then
decomposes them—enriching the soil
with their remains. Lime powerfully
assists a soil in maintaining its mois
ture; it readily absorbs moisture, and
is long retent ive of it. It absorbs, also,
the carbonic acid gas escaping from de
caying vegetation in the soil, and re
tains it as food for plants. By the ab
sorption of carbonic acid, it converts
into carbonate of lime, or chalk, when
its solvent powers greatly cease, and it
then becomes direct food for plants, by
itself dissolving in the rain water w hit h
falls on the soil, and then, becomes ab-
»otbed into the substance of living veg
etables.
In ils direct use for food for plants,
lime plays a very important part; it is
necessary for all grain crops, as it
forms an important constituent in their
substance. In wheat ashes theie is
about four per cent of lime; in oats,
about eight per cent., and rather more
in barley and rye. It is found in the
ashes of all trees and plants, w henever
these plants have grown on a soil con
taining lime.
' Lime is solvent in water to a great
extent, about 400 lbs. of water will dis
solve one bbl. of lime sufficiently to en
able plants to take it up by absorption.
All plants designed tor human food,or for
the food of animals, absolutely require
lime, as this substance eventually forms
the boDes of both men and animals.
Hence for grazing pmposes, limestone
lands are much superior to all others,
and will rear a superior class of ani
mals. Horses, sheep and cattle fed on
Kinds resting on a limestone foundation
will be stronger, firmer, and more com
pact than if ihey were led on a clayey
and sandy soil.
Without a rich heart wealth if an ugly
beggar.
MARL.
Any earthy substance in which the
proportion of calcareous matter exceeds
that of the sand or clay, is styled a
marl; of this there are four principal
varieties: First, clay marl; 2d, sand
marl; 3d, slate or stony marl; 4th, shell
marl; ol these, the last is commonly
the richest in calcareous matter. Clay
maris are particularly useful to sandy
soils, and if spread on the surface of
sods, remaining for winter’s frosts to
render them pulverescent, the marl not
only improves the growth of grass from
ils action as a mulch, but slow solu
tion; both its aluminous and calcare
ous portions are carried into the soil,
rendering the soil more retentive of ma
nures and less liable to sutler from the
effects of drouth. Sand marl is also
useful for clay soils, and to any soil
deficient of litne. Slate or magnesian
maris are seldom ol' much value, and
should only be used in localities where
better marls or lime cannot be procured.
Shell marls are of various qualities ;
some of them containing both sulphate
and phosphate of lime, and are there
fore of great value. On land having
this kind of marl for a subsoil, cabbages
may be annually grown for half a cen-
tury.— Field (j* Fireside.
