O. D. UOH tH\ fc 11. A. HOLMEsi, Proprietors. VOL. IV. TALBOTTON STANDARD. WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 2. 1873. [Written for the Talbotton Sttwdanl.] * 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. P.uus, Fa.oicu, February, 1873. * it ral CoroKuiau, Charleston, S. C., n quesied to publish by ibvf Mr.ssi 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 titude, Hie tones of speech, the manner 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 rity.
