KKJVOVATIOOP WORN-OUT
■W****. '**" ’ SOILS.
BY PilOF. MLSBA, OF MESSINA, ITALY.
To the Editor, of the Talbolton Standard:
Si*—l beg to tresspass on your col
umns fot a few words on the question of
“Renovation of worn-out Soils.” The
interest of science anil agriculture will,
I hope, obtain of you this favor.
I will noiatwpnat the arguments so
cleverly set down by Mr. C. IV. Howard
against the rather silly article set forth
by Dr. Pendleton on the subject. lam
sure that in Georgia many a noble heart
rejoioed at seeing sneb misrepresenta
tions unmasked ; and though 1 have not
the honor of being acquainted with Mr.
Howard, and wo are so far apart, still 1
hope that that gentleman will not
disdain, if I beg of him. to shake hands
heartily across the Atlantic, as generous
feeling makes friends throughout the
world.
Dr. Pendleton, chemist, professor of
agriculture, Banter ami manufacturer of
a commercial fertilizer, hesitates not to
assert that tho great essential difference
botween a primitive and a worn-out soil
is the abundance of hnintis in tho one
and its great deficiency in the other.
Very good. But Dr. Pendleton being a
chemist should be able to tell us what is
humus. A hundred years ago this word
was uukuown to agriculture ami to
chemistry. Till the time of Timer, this
word was not employed hut to express
foul earth, or burial-ground, and so one
said humatio to express the burial. See
ing that a soil rich in putrid organic
matter was more fertile than another not
so rich, Timer, to give a base to his em
pirical system, borrowed the latiu word
humus, or pntarid earth, to express what
he thought to be the only cause of fer
tility. Tho humus theory began with
Timer and lasted till Suussure and Lie
big. I hope these names are not un
known to Dr. Pendleton,who is a chem
ist. At present, the humus theory is
become something like an anti deluvian
fossil; or, keeping us to chemistry, like
the phlogmtique. But what is humus ?
Can Dr. Pi ndieton.chcinist, tell its what
humus is ¥ Chemistry is able to give us
the true definition of almost ever} body
that cornea ami ir our senses. But I defy
Dr. Pendleton,chemist, to give us a right
definition of humus.
Science is at present in possession of
two identical explanations of humus,the
one given by Prof. Vi!lt* in Ims great Con
ferences of 18(54.the other given last year
by Dr. Dretmcr in Germany. Both
make a description, but neither giver
the definition Of it. Both succeeded in
producing huifius artificially in the lab
ratory by boiling sugar in a solution of
sulphuric acid. Humine extracted from
natural huinns is quite identical with
that body obtained by boiling sugar in
a solution of sulphuric acid. They are
both isomeric bodies. However,the hu
mus’ or humine s formula is not yet ex
actly known toe,luauislry. What science
teaches of its constituents is, they are
nothing but-earbon and water, that is,
such elomeufs as plants have plentifully
at their disposition everywhere in air,
rain-water, and in every soil. How then
can humus be the cause of fertility? ,Still
it is a fact that tho most fertile natural
soils are in general rich of humus; but
it is another fact that, not all soils rich of
humus are fertile. Turf-soil,for instance,
is the richest of humus, but turf-soil is
not fertile. .We said the fertile natural
soil; for, fringe thirty years wc have
known how to make the most fertile soils
without humus, and to enrich the poor
est that have no humus, not bjutlie ap
plication or aid of humus, but by
employing purely mineral substances.
Should we like to fertilize a poor soil
with humus, we have but to add to it
the universal sul'-Vances which fertilize
soil without humus. With humus alone
no one can fertilize a poor soil. Then
it is not humus that fertilizes, hut the
minerals which arc associated with it,
and one can apply these self-same min
eral without humus and he will obtain
the same result.
Should Dr. Pendleton adhere to his
opinion, that Ramus is indispensible to
restore a worn-out soil, he might, as
chemist, manufacture and sell it. If
boiling sugar in sulphuric acid is too
expensive, ho inight as well take saw
dust, instead of sugar; for their compo
sition is almost identical: carbon and
water are the elements of sugar as well
as of cellulose; or saw-dust We expect,
then, Dr. Pendleton will benefit the cul
tivators by manufacturing humus cheap
ly; we fear, however, that he would soon
leave off both his undertaking and his
antiquated ©pinion.
The mostaotural and economical way,
which Is practiced in many places, to
enrich poor soils with humus, is to plant
them with trees and leave them for a
century or so* to grow into a forest.
Then as every plant grows in the shmo
proportion under and above the ground,
the roots will go deeply in search of
minerals, which will go up the plant
with sap to the leaves, there to be fixed
in itsasaimili.- i nby evaporation, and to
fall with the leaves on-the surface of the
ground, where, by successive falling of
leaves, abed will be formed; leaves will
rot with njbisturo,the minerals they con
tain wiff be get free, and will form saline
combinations fit for absorption by other
plants, ifnen by clearing up the
forest and the bed of rotten
leaves with *the soil beneath, one will
bare a soiLfertile and rich with humus.
However, one could in such a soil culti
vate such plants as take minerals and
leave or produce humus, meadow for in
stance. Tlnm, after sometime, he will
have his soil rich with humus, but poor
with minerals,and almost as unproduct
ive ns dry sand. It is evident, then, that
it is not humus that fertilizes, but the
minerals which come from the decompo
sition of organic matter,so much so that
these minerals can be exhausted and
humus remain quite unproductive.
One might ask Dr. Pendleton if he
thinks primeval vegetation, so vigorous,
grew through humus. Since humus
is originated of decaying plants previous
ly formed, how could there be humus
with primeval vegetation ? Such is the
muddle in which the hunuis theorists
find themselves. They must answer
which was first produced the chicken or
the egg. Dr. Pendleton might say that
Kuropaan humus is not like Georgian
humus, and that tho references and ex
periments made on the first are not con
clusive with regard to the latter. There
upon ho must know that, before coining
to any conclusion, science has made re
searches on humus taken in every quar
ter of tho world. As wo have said we
would *iot to repeat any of the arguments
so cleverly sot down by Mr. Howard,we
must refrain from pointing out many
of Dr. Pendleton’s blunders. We must
tell him, however, that not only the
most conclusive experiments of Prof.
Ville have been made by him without
the least of humus, but that his experi
ments on natural soil have not been lim
ited to European earth. He went to
Asia and Africa, experimented his ma
nure both on the muddy and on the
sandy fields of Egypt, quite under the
same latitude of Georgia. His field of
experiments at Vincennes is pure sand
without the least of humus. Many fields
in Europe are ns devoid of organic mat
ter as Southern fields may be. Vir
gin soil dug up from under ground,quite
deprived of organic matter, became, at
once as fertile through chemical manure,
as the most worn-out soil, ns well as the
soil of Egypt, of Russia, of Holland,and
of everywhere,under the same treatment.
It is true that humus ameliorates
physically every soil, retaining moisture,
supplying nitrogen, setting free carbonic
arid to dissolve the insoluble phosphates
and other minerals useful to plants, ren
dering such minerals tit food for them.
It is true also that caustic lime is only
useful where humus abounds; but it
is not true that lime, even caustic lime,
is useless where there is no humus, for
it is a good amendment both for clayey
and for samly soils, making the first
more germeablo, anil giving more con
sistency to the second. Still it is false
that Villo’s chemical manures contain
caustic lime. Not one of his manure
formulas contain caustic lime. It is
likewise quite incorrect that Mr. Ville
takes it for granted that humus is
necessarily abundant in every soil, as it
is not true that in the uncultivated soils
of France there is rarely any exhaustion
of humus. It is as equally untrue that
Prof. Ville heralds u complete manure
for every soil, as that tho proper
formula of Villas complete manure
for cotton would not be remunera
tive to tho planter and cause a pre
mature exhaustion of tho soil and an
early blight of tho plant. Every manure
to be effective and remunerative must
bo in accord with three conditions:
1. With the composition of the one par
ticular soil to which it is applied. 2.
With the composition of the plant to be
fed. 3. Must be in the most assimilable
form. To know tho composition of the
particular soil,neither chemical nor phy
sical analysis are sufficiently available.
To attain the object more practically,Mr.
Ville has given anew method consist
ing in essays of culture through differ
ent combinations of the components of
chemical manure, so that every planter
can know before hand what his soil con
tains and what not. By applying such
method, Dr. Pendleton could have
known beforehand that the soil on which
he was going to experiment was suffi
ciently provided with potash, and per
haps with lime also, and that he should
have applied only the nitrogen and
phosphatic constituents of manure.
Another soil in. Georgia would not, per
haps,be in the same condition with that
of Dr. Pendleton; and the result of au
experiment like his would be quite dif
ferent. The first thing, then, is to know
the particular condition of the soil; and
this is obtained through the application
of Ville’s series of the agents of fertility.
The second thing is to know the compo
sition of the plant which is intended to
be cultivated, in order to settle the for
mula of manure which may correspond
to the composition both of soil and plant.
We will give the composition of the cot
ton plant according to analysis made by
Prof. Ville, who made it while directing
personally some experiments of cotton

“WHAT IS IT BUT A MAP OF BUSY LIFE, ITS FLUCTUATIONS AND ITS VAST CONCERNS.”
TALBOTTON, GA., WEDNESDAY JUNE 18, 1873.
One can' see that if wo except magne
sia, which t-o a certain point can bo sur
rogated by lime, or at least always ac
companies limo in nature, tho elements
the most abundant in seed cotton are
phosphoric acid, potash, lime,and of the
organic elements, nitrogen. Cotton is
cultivated particularly for seeds or wool.
Besides, it is now ascertained that tho
dominant constituent of cotton is phos
phoric acid, and that in warm climates,
nitrogen must bo incorporated to a
moderate degree in manure. Now if wc
suppose that, a given soil, of grunitique
origin, for instance, or where for a long
time yard manure has been employed,
containing abundant potash and lime,
and that it is under a tropical climate,it
becomes evident that in such a case with
a manure almost all composed of soluble
phosphoric acid and a moderate degree
of nitrogen, one might reap a very good
cotton harvest. To obtain a good and
remunerative cotton crop, one should
give about 04 pounds of phosphoric acid
and about 24 pounds of nitrogen per
acre. Bo:
Superphosphate ot Lime, 400 pounds )
Chili fwltpetre, 200 pounds j per acre.
Ti.tal, 600 pounds.
The best way would be, not to spread it
all together, hut rather one half at sow
ing time, and the other half when plants
are one foot high. In tho case, however,
that soil is not so provided with potash
and lime, these elements should be giv
en with the other constituents of manure.
As for tho form of tho constituents of
manure, tho most soluble and assimila
ble form of phosphoric acid is either su
perphosphate or precipitated phosphate
of lime. Nitrogen should he in the form
of nitrate rather than ammouiacal salt.
Potash can lie either sulphate, nitrate or
silicate of potash, that one which is tho
cheapest on the place, minding, however,
that manure should contain between
150 and 180 lbs. of real potash. As for
lime, it should never bo caustic lime,but
good gypsum containing about 0.33 of
lime. For food-want to tho plants, lime
contained in superphosphate would bo
enough, but gypsum is also added for
another object; it keeps manure in an
uniform state of composition, division
and driness, and it is an excellent
complement for oveiy soil.
The manner in which Dr. Pendleton
talks of humus, gives us to surmise that
he has not been qualified for making ex
periments, and that the failure suould
have been ascribed, not to chemical pro
cess, but rather to the chemist operator.
If wo look to advertisements in tho
magazine, Tho Plantation, we cannot
suppose that chemical fertilizers arc
dearer in Georgia than elsewhi re. So,
as they are remunerative elsewhere, they
cannot fail to bo equally so in Georgia.
As to their effective action, which ap
peared too slow for Dr. Pendleton, we
defy him to intimate other fertilizers
more active. Wo hope that he will not
give us to understand that nitro-phos
phate is not a chemical fertilizer. So,
to prove that chemical fertilizers are ex
pensive and slow, he comes forward with
a chemical fertilizer in his hands, show
ing that, it is neither expensive nor
slow. We will not suppose that he would
go so far ns to believe that nitro-phos
phrte is humus. It would, however, not
be astonishing that lie, keeping to the
antiquated empiricism of Thaer, held
likewise the chemical opinions of that
time; for Thaer believed that lime in
plants becomes potash. Wlmt then if
Dr. Pendleton believes that uitro-phos
phate is not a chemical fertilizer, but
that it is, or becomes humus ? If to him
humus is everything that feeds plants,
it follows that every food for plants is
humus to him.

Number of Words in Use. —We are
told, on good authority, by a country
clergyman, that some of the laborers in
his parish had not 300 words in their
vocabulary. The vocabulary of the an
cient sages of Egypt, at least as far as
it is known to us from the hieroglyphic
inscriptions, amounts to about GBS
words. A well educated person in Eng
land, who has been at a public school
and at the university, who reads his Bi
ble,Almkespcare, The Times, and all the
books at Mudie’s library, seldom uses
more than 3,000 or 4,000 words in actual
conversation. Accurate thinkei's and
close reasoners, who avoid vaguo and
general expressions, and wait till they
find a word that exactly fits their mean
ing, employ a larger stock; and eloquent
speakers may rise to command 10,000.
Bhakespear, who displayed a greater va
riety of expression than probably any
writer in any language, produced all his
plays with about 15,000 words. Mil
ton’s works are built up with 8,000; and
the old Testament says all it has to sax'
with 5,6-12 words.— Prof. Mcue Muller.
The Henpecked Man. —’The henpeck

You eau alwns tell ono ov those kind
ov men, especially if they aro in the
company ov tliair wives. They look az
resigned tew tliair fate az a lien turkey

Tharo aint nothing that will take tho

The wives of henpecked husbands

and handles him just as she would a
