OX SOME ANTIQUATED BLUJi-
DEHS IX KI’KAL SCIENCE.
BY wop. MU9SA, or ItRWINA, ITALY.
Reading the little book of Mr. Holmes,
A ML, of Charleston, on the Phosphori
ty of South Carolina,Ll.S.,l met with some
quotations of Prof. Huotney, and such
quotations as the following: “Whatever
of organic matter the plant contains,
must be in the soil The best that can
be given to the soil for the plant is the
manure that contains the greatest num
ber or quantity of the elements of the i
crop, trusting that if not absolutely
wanting the others will not be lost. This,
and the development by proper means
of such substances ns may already exist
the soil, are the only rational remedies
against sterility.”
It may be that some words of this
quotation are not exactly the same as
those of the book, fori quote by heart;
but I can warrant for the exactness of
the purport, and meaning as it lays and
stands in the book (I think, page 47).
Now, without the least idea of finding
fault or criticising either the book or the
author, and for the sole interest of
science, I declare that such assertions as
these are truly nothing but antiquated
blunders
Should all the organic matter the
plant contains l>e found in the soil, then
vegetation could not have sprung out of
the earth's crust in the beginning, for
planta began befare animals, and when
plants began, there could not be then
any other plants before. No organic
matter could be found in the soil when
vegetation began. But the way in which
it continues is just the same as that of its
beginning.
Do plants eat organic matter? No.
not at ali. Plants do not eat, but matter
is dissohed in the soil by their roots and
gas’in the air by their leaves. But organic
matter is not soluble, and so it cannot
go in the plant to feed it and bear upon
its growth. But what is organic matter?
It is a combination of the elements of
air and water, and according to the num
ber of these elements which compose it,
it divides itself in two groups, the one
called hydrates of carbone. and this com
prises all the products composed of the
elements of water, hydrogen and oxygen,
with carbon; the other is called allmmi
noides, which besides these same ele
ments contains, furthermore, nitrogen
and phosphorous, with some brimstone.
Now, experiments expressly made to
ascertain if it was necessary that such
matter should be found in the soil
for a plant to thrive, have excluded all
doubt that, with the exception of nitro- j
gen and phosphorous, all the other ele- '
meats of organic matter, or the organic j
matter itself, are not at all necessary to I
be joined in the soil, as the plants find
them abundantly elsewhere. There are
two ways to verify this very easily, both
by rearing plants in an indifferent me
dium with addition of quite inorganic
matter. The one rears a plant in pure
water, the other in a solid medium like
pure sand. Let one take the following
inorganic matter:
Water, 2 grains . 2000
UnperpiMMpluite ot Lime 01
AMtpotre, or nitrate of potash 04
Nitrate ot Lime .. .04
Epsom salts, or sulphate of Mnguesia Of
Total 2002. U
To a solution of 1000th. of centration.
Let them put a seed to germinate in the
folds of a wet sponge, and then put the
sprout in this solution. The plant will
grow splendidly, and better than in any
garden soil rich with organic matter.
The water must be dist illed. The mat
ter dissolved in it is altogether inorganic.
There is no trace of organic matter in it,
still the plant grows better than in the
best soil. Let one sow the seeds in the
most fruitless sand, and sprinkle it at
times with that same solution, and the
plant will grow better than in the most
fruitful soil. Pure sand does not con
tain any organic matter at all. One may,
beforehand, calcine it in order to destroy
by fire every trace of organic matter that
it may contain. It cannot then be true
that whatever organic matter plants
contain must be found in the soil, since
a soil may produce plants in the best
way without containing the least organic
matter.
But if not necessary, is it useless that
organic matter be present in the soil ?
Far from it. It is on the contrary a fa
vorable condition for getting abundant
crops, first for its physical properties
bearing upon the fitness of the soil, then
for its chemical properties producing
in the soil some reactions very useful to
vegetation; lastly, as it gives of its own
decomposition to the soil for the plant,
some of the elements indispensable to
its growth, such as nitrogen, phosphoric
acid, potash, lime, etc. However, to
give these elements to the soil for the
plant, it must beforehand cease to be
organic matter; it must decompose itself
and go over to the inorganic state.
Although, then, organic matter be a
good condition for a soil in high fann
ing, still poor soils must not dispair to
get as good crops without it. It is
enough to furnish it with some inorganic
elements, such as nitrogen, potash, phos
phoric acid, and lime in a form that they
contain also magnesia and sulphuric acid.
Neither is it true that the best manure
to be given to soil is that which contains
the greatest number or quantity of the
elements of the crop. The greatest
number of the elements of crop are ev
erywhere in the air, in rain water, and
particularly in every soil in such over
flowing quantity, that it is quite useless
to give any more of them in the manure.
Which are the elements of the crops ?
There are these fourteen: Oxygen, hy
drogen, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous,
potash, lime, soda, silicon, brimstone,
iron, manganese, chlorine, magnesia.
Now of these, it is useless to give the
three first, as plants have them as much
as they want of them in air and water.
It is equally useless to give silicon as
there is no soil that does not contain it
more than crops can take for centuries.
The same is to be said of iron, man
ganese, chlorine, soda, as plants take
very little of them, they are in sufficient
quantity in every soil, besides they are
always in certain quantities in the im
purity of the mineral salts of potash, in
phosphates and in litne salts. Such also
is the case with magnesia. There re
mains but nitrogen,phosphorous, potash
and lime, which really can disappear
from a cultivated soil, and which conse
quently must be given as manure. Let
one take the most exhausted of cultivat
ed soils; let him dung it with super
phosphate of lime, nitrate of potash,
sulphate of ammonia, sulphate of lime,
and he will get the best crop from it,for
he gives to the soil for the plant, and in
a soluble form, acid phosphori, azote
with sulphuric acid, potash, lime with
sulphuric acid. Employing these salts,
does he give to the soil for the plant
these elements only ? No. These salts
as they are in trade, contain some im
purities which consist of soda, iron,mag
nesia, chlorine, manganese and silicon,
besides oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, and
water. He gives them all the elements
of the crop; not however in the propor
tion they are in the crop, and not to
supply their want in the soil, but purely
as inseparable from the only few ele
ments tlmt const t ite the true substance
of manure.
One might employ the same salts i.i
their purest state, as they are at the
chemist’s, and with equal effect, that is
with an effect much better than that of
a manure containing all the elements of
the crop.
Neither is it the best manure which
contains the greatest quantity of
fertilizing elements; for there is a limit
in their quantity over which it is either
dangerous or useless to give them. Give
more than five thousand pounds of ni
trogen to an acre of wheat, and your
crop will be of straw without grain. To
prescribe to give as manure all, or the
the greatest number of the elements of
the crop, trusting that if not absolutely
wanting the others will not be lost, was
the old rule not only in agriculture, but
also in medicine, in building and almost
in everything, when science had not yet
come to define what was really wanting
and what not. The thicker was a wall
so much the better for the holding up
of a house. To get rid of fevers, one
should have swallowed all the ingredi
ents of the caldron of Macbeth, or at
least a pound or two of quinia root. To
dung well one should have given to the
soil a manure as complicated as possible,
trusting that in the bulk there would be
what was absolutely wanting and that
the rest of the mass if not absolutely
wanting would not be lost.
Accordingly dung that is such a com
plicated mass acquired in agriculture a
sway as indisputab.e as t lut of a monarch
if not of a divinity. But under the
hands of science king dunghill has been
obliged to give up its pretentions. Dung
has been till lately the type ot manure.
Of what is it composed ? Its mean com
position is this:
Dunghill 100.
Water, 80 00
Carbon, C 80 j
Hydrogen, 082 r 13 29
Oxygen, 5 67 )
Silicon, 4 32 1
Chlorine, 0 1 j
Sulphuric acid 0 13 | r .
Oxyde oi iron, 0 34 f ’
S'ida, traces :
Magnesia, 0 24 J
Nitrogen, 0 41 ]
Phosph’ic acid 018 1 , ,
Potash, 0 49 1 64
Lime, 0 56 J
Total, 100 00
Now, let any one take two heaps of
dung, give one of these to the cultivat
ed soil, from the other extract first what
it contains of nitrogen, phosphoric acid,
potash and lime, and then give it to the
toil the same as the other. On the other
hand let him employ these same ele
ments extracted from dung, i here will
then be three plots of soil, the one with
dung in all its fullness; the second with
the dung deprived of such four of its
elements as we shall call the agents of
fertility; the third with this agent of
f rdlity isolated from the dung mass.
Let him add a founn plot without any
manure. The crop will be, in the third
plot greater than in the first; conse
quently one must conclude that the ele
ments or agents of fertility are more ac
tive when employed alone than when
employed mingled with the remaining
mass of dung. The second and the
! fourth plots will have an equal crop.
■ But then it is evident that it is those
! four elements, which have been subtract
-1 ed from it, that gave to it all its activity,
for without them it becomes quite iuac
| tive. Then those four elements, nitro
i gen, phosphoric acid, potash and lime
I constitute the true substanee of manure,
| the active part of the dung itself, and
j can be employed by themselves with bet
! ter effect than when they are employed
1 mingled with the greatest number or
j quantity of the elements of the crop.
• WHAT IS IT BUT A lUI’ OF BUSY LIFE, ITS FLUO rUATIOXS AND ITS VAST CONCERNS.”
TALBOTTON, GA., WEDNESDAY APRIL 2, 1873.
The union of those four elements or
agents of fertility is then the indisputa
ble standard for manure, to which com
pare and dicide the value of every other
duug-matter, be it dung, guano or any
other.
Any one can make an experiment of
of what I have said, and I feel sure that
if not convinced by my words, tuey will
be by the plants themselves, which by
their crop will bear witness to the results
of science.
I hope to have another opportunity
of giving and explaining the best and
the easiest method of analyzing phos
phates and superphosphates of lime, in
order to make out its percentage of
phosphoric acid, the quantity of it. solu
ble and insoluble, and that which in su
perphosphates goes back from a soluble
to an insoluble state.

The Federal Constitution to the con
trary notwithstanding, New liumshiiv
decrees that Protestants only shall hold
office.
The astonishing statement was math
in Congress last 7'uesuav that every
American soldier costs tho Government
$1,00(1. The British soldier costs sioo.
It has been stated m the past that the
Indian wars of the United States have
cost the Government one million of dol
lars, on an average, for every Indian
killed.
The gentleman who led olio of the
Miss ltothelnlds to the alter lately, is a
victim of disappointed hopes. She was
worth only ten millions, and ho was led
to bclievo her wealthy.
A lady philosopher has arrived at the
conclusion, that, although woman is
justly .blamed with having tempted man
to eat forbidden things, he took to
drinking of his own accord.
Tltiu, by Juuv in Ex<i.an:>.- The Eu
glisli Attorney General proposes to re
duce the number of jurymen in all ex
cept capital eases to seven, and to ren
der valid the verdict of a majority ul
these.
The Forty-Third Congress will have
172 new members. Will those 172 new j
members brand themselves as lit suc
cessors of tho Forty-Second Congress
by taking $1,000,000 more out of the
Treasury?
Tho restoration of the death penalty
is agitated in Kliode Island. Capital
punishment lias been abolished there
for nearly forty years. Before that it
used to be impartially inflicted on ne
groes and Indians.
“Waits and Unions of Wau:;.” —The
noon dispatches state that the English
navy estimates for this year exceed those
of last year by two millions of dollars.
Ali Europe seems to be getting ready
for a general war.
By anew French law the sale of liq
uor to drunkards or minors is punisha
ble by fine and imprisonment, and the
cost of being drunk and disorderly in
public ranges from 5 francs for a first
offence to 750 francs and disfranchise-|
ment for two years.
Factory Takings.— The Columbus |
Manufactories have taken since August;
32st, from the warehouses, 4,412 bales
of cotton against 3,927 same period last
season. They have also received about
one thousand bales direct at the mills,
making the total takings nearly 4,500
bales. Very good for six months.
They will take,probably, 7,000 this year.
The lost tribes of Isru have been
discovered in so many parts of the world
that at least a hundred sets are on hand
now to represent the missing ten. A j
Mr. McLeod, of Osaka, now insists that. ‘
the Japanese are the true lineal decen
dants of Jacob. He professes to find a
simalarity in the Japanese and the cun
eiform Assyrian alphabets, to find the
Mia worship correspondent to that of
the Kings of Israel before the captivity,
and to find in the history of Japan the
literal fulfillment of Prophesy.
Gentlemen, if you don’t want your
boys to smoke don’t smoke yourselves.
That will be the very best wav to keep
them from it. A boy forms himself aft
er his father’s model. The tricks of at

isms ortho one grow into and with the
other. The better the man, the better
will be the boy. A father wh >is habitu
ally courteous will have courteous chil
dren. One who is pure in his speech
will scarcely need to watch for profani
ty in liis sons. Whatever graces are
desirable in boy nature are to be espe
cially sought for in manhood and matu
