This process 01 the p.aut ft) taking its aarbou our of the wr is a most wonder fulstae, and goes on only under the in- ilueaoe of lignt or in the day rims, and the ieaf of tno plant is the only derive orgnn concerned m rakiog the cartenio ,i«;d out of tne r atr. The leaf of the plant is formed of very nt;mercn3 little oetis placed side by a,.iej on the under side of tiie leaf there are .-nr spaces be tween tin- cell*, and over the whole leaf there is a tain sxtu. Iu this Ruin che.ro nr« natncroui small holesthr.mgh which the air passes. When it prssos into tuo leaf whilst tne sunhxat is stuning upon it, througa some strauge vita: power the little ceils of tho loaJ', umisr these con. ditious break up t he carbonic acid of the air, retaining the oirbor. auasatcia.g'the oxygen free, which nassi-n out again into the air. VVneu night comes tho o.vrbuu tlius obtaiueti uudorgoes a change and passes into tee circulation of the plant, goiuo to the various purts of tuo piani \riicr© it may bo lumueti. So wo sue that growing plants tend ro purity tho dir by consuming ir- carbonic acid gas, wmch is injurious to animal life, ant by piviug off pure oxygen gas la its place, which is bcuedcial to ani mal life. Animal aau plant life thus stand iu mutual and beautiful relations to each other. Plant life inhales car- bonio soni and exhales oxygen; animal life tuholos oxygen and exhalesoarbouii' acid. The animal, in hts lurga and blood, onuses carbon to unite with oxygen to form carbonic acid; whilst the plant iu its cells causes the carbon of 1 ho carbou- ic acid to separate from us oxygen. Analysis shows the percentage of car- boula acid lu the nir to be small. Thus a hundred gallons of air U composed of: Oxygen 20 69 gallon* K itrogsn .78 08 gallon* Carbonic acid 00.08 gallon* Ton say this is a very small amount of carooulo acid. Tee, ii teems so, bus *nen you come to consider the enormous bulk of the air it actual >y is very large. There is so much of it that the volume of air which rests on one acre of your farm, cal uniat ii.-g n r it height of only P0 feet above •he ltuui would contain 90 1 pounds of carbonio acid gas, And this amount never grows les* even when the crops are feeding on tt, because it is being constantly renewed from orhtr sources. Therefore, whilst you need never feat airy lack of ts'e esse cried element, car bon, it is well for you to appreciate where it opdios from and bow import ant ir. is. I have said the oxygen and kydiopu found iu the plant came also irom tho air; really tney do not come from tue air itself, bur, they come from the water wbioh fl >ats in (he air in the form oi c.ouds. These dooeena as rain upon this soil and are druwu a? through the roots of the plant, and me oxygen and hydrogen, of which water ie coin- posen. are appropriaKyi by the plant. You, of course, apprecfntn the import ance of ihese two eloaieuts of plant life because you snow only t-oo well bow crops 6ii{?er in a dry season.
