What I with eapedally to armt yonr atton- tion i» the number, quality and disposal of the root* formed in comparison with the poverty or fertility of tho noil. When *eeda germinate, root* are *t find formed without reference to the quality of the aoil in which they are planted. When the plant arrive* at a certain atAge of de- vclopment, rooU am formed in nnmber and quality aooordiug to the paucity or abundaace of food with which they are RnppUed. Where the aoil ia naturally nch, or artificially mad* ho an immenae number of roota and rootlet® are aenl forth, extending comparatively but a short dialance from the plant. You have observed that when a hill of corn or cotton la manured in a circumscribed locality, the manure ia matted with short fibrous roots almost Infinite in nntnlior, whereas, the ad jacent hill, a few foet distant, not fertilized, vends out a comparatively few, long, slender, attenuated roots, extending almost incredible diatsnoee in search of food. “The root* of com which in a rich and tenacions earth ex tend tint two or three feet, have been traced to a length of ten or fifteen feet in a light, sandy soil. Few in nnmber and feeble in organiza tion, when ones severed by the plow or hoc, it ia w«b difficulty Ibat they are replenished, and .ho plant la cheeked in its growth, and often .beds it* froiL Where the soil U rich, tbs loaa of a few rooU l* scarcely felt, for in an in- crdibly abart time new rooU spring np, as by magic, and the plant pursue* iu onw»rd conrse of development without feeling the shock. PlanU have the faculty of decomposing sails of limo, potash, magnsslaand iron, found in an insoluble stale tn minerals imbedded in the esrlli, and appropriating these alkalies, and alkali earths to their own nae. Agricultural science teaches ns that the plant in its ash analysts I* composed of various acids, alkalies, and salts, which are derived from de composed vegetable mailer, as well ea from mineral subsUncca in the soil. These ssh in- gredienU aro shown to lie necessary to the growth and perfection of tho plant, for they are mdeatrnotiblo in the process of combustion. The art o( culture consists, then, in supplying the plant with the right kind of food, and in the use of each mechanical means ts will enable it to discharge all of iU functions, so aa to appro priate (lie elements of nutrition to iU utmost rapacity, ami with the least impediment to iu I .effect development. This ia accomplished by l>erfnct drainage, thorough pulverization of the subsoil, booing, end where long continued til lage has deprived the soil of its fertilizing prop- ertiea, by resting, rotation of eropa, and manur ing. It wonld l,e interesting and instructive to dwell at length npon these different topios, bnt each of them should be the subject of * separate Vionograpli. We must, therefore, pass on, and throw out a few hints with reference to the lieat method of reanacilating worn out, or natu rally aterile soils. An economical and judieioua method of pro longing the natnrel fertility of soils, is by prope rotation of crop*. Different plantH require va riable >10*011110* of organic and inorganic mat ter. Home plants, soon aa peas, clover find In- come, demand a liberal supply of nitrogen which they draw largely from the atmosphere anil rain water, and Uiercfore do not require, to snob a degree aa other plants,' the application to tho mil of highly atimnlaUng manures. Wheat derives its nitrogen in the form of ammonia, chieily from the soil and very little from the air. Cure delights in phosphorio acid, potash and a fair proportion of ailicate of potash, to impart strength and durability to the stalks. Cotton consumes bm a small quantity of eilioo, bnt de light* In phosphorio acid, lime, potash, and • modicum of lion, lloot crops tlonriah admits bly npon the phosphate of lime, ashes and land plotter, with a moderate allowance of am- monln. By, therefore, becoming acquainted with the quality of the food required by differ ent plant*, and observing their relative, thrift upon the same aoil, wo are enabled to ascertain (he special kind of fertilizer with which to sup ply to each, and tho principles wlueh sbonld govern ns in the rotation of crops. A proper rotation of earn, cotton, poas and small grain, wonld greatly relievo onr lands from the ex- hansting effect* of tho plan usually pursued in this section of country, where resting and the application of appropriate mannres is imprseti- bi*. It was formerly maintain.d, that plants have the faculty of excreting or throwing off into the noil matters which are nneaenUal or detrimental to th^r own growth, bnt which might be con sumed as healthy food by other cl oases of plsnta. More recent experiments, however, show that this may be true to a limited extent, but to eo insignificant a degree aa to be of very little practical utility. By observing proper ro tation, however, eooording to the indications enunciated above, land Ibat is not thoroughly worn ont may be materially benefited and main tained for many yean in a condition of fair fertility, without the direct annua] appliealion of manure*. In the older oonntriea of the East, where the art of enltnre ho* reached its highest degree of perfection, it is said that two snoees- oive crop* of a similar kind are seldom raised npon the aam* aoil. Hence by akillfnl enltnre and jndieiona manuring the soil ia made pro gressively to improve from year to year, instead of annually becoming more impoverished. The recapenlion of land by fitting, whore the soil ia naturally poor ar.d devoid of much vegetable matter, is of doubtful utility, when we take into consideration the expense of keep ing np tba fenoieg around such land; for tho amount of weeds and grass produced ia ao in significant that we would hardly be repaid for the ontley in annual repairs. We should com mence to rest snob land before it begin* to fail, if we should hope to materially improve Its con dition. On the contrary, land that was origin ally rich in vegetable mould, as well aa in min eral deposits, even when greatly exhausted by unremitting cultivation, very soon recovers a good degree of fertility; for although exhausted of its vegetable mould, the mineral treasures that lie imbedded in iu bosom and npon its sur face enable it to sccnmnlate a sufficient amount of vegetable matter to restore the hnmns which has been abstracted, and protect it from the leaching effects of heavy rains, aa well aa from intense solar beat. Hnch land naturally close tn its texture, and having become hard and al most impervious to water, by long oontinned close and dean Ullage, very soon becomes soft and mellow, at well ae enriched in organic pro ducts. To derive the full benefit of this system, it is neeeamiy that cattle, and especially hog*, ahonld not bo permitted to pasture neon such land. The foundation of the palaoaof King Cotton, the cornucopia that poors its golden treasures into the lap of the husbandman ia nwiawr*. Ever since the greet change tn oar social, po luteal and pecuniary condition, we hove been striving to recuperate cor fallen fortune* npon the plan panned by onr rather* when they had absolute control of their laborers, and pomeased n soil comparatively in it* virgin state. The aoareity of money, the exorbitant rate of inter est demanded for it* naa, and the continued im- of the - Wo rihonld be careful to tow inch seeds produce the largest amount of vegetable matter in the shot teat rime, and which will be moat read ily produced by the aoil to be renovated. Thus Income and clover wonld not be suitable for sandy land, beoeua* they require a liberal allow ance of potash, lime and phosphoric add, and a do* proportion of tho elements of ammonia for their growth and perfection. Wo would be compellkl to tupply these Ingredients artificially before we ooald snooeed in obtaining an amount of vegetable matter to be made available. For the thinner lands of thia section, the nae of rye and peas wonld be far preferable, both of which crops can be sustained npon a comparatively small quantity of nutrition* food. How down a crop of rye in tho fall, and when twelve inches high apply per acre ISO pounds of land plaster, then plow onder with the rye a crop of peas. When the Utter begins to form its fruit turn it under, and about the tint of July, spread broad cast from 150 to 200 pounds of the acid phos phate of lime, and again sow with peas to be ploughed under at the same stage of its growth as the former crop of peas. It ia not advisable to wait until the peas are even half ripe, because when the pUnt ia In foil flower, every pari of it U folly freighted with nutritious matter, which, at a later stage of its development, wonld be transferred to tbe fruit, and thus diminish the aggregate amount of fertilizing material*. By this process of manuring, yon return to the soil the elements of nutrition with which it was originally supplied, in it* natural stage, and thn* obtain a manure that is permanent in ita results.
