Of the earth » surluce wuich is capable

cr ^I’ !< ‘
Tne geologists ... tell ,, us that , wneu
the earth first, cooled down from a mol
ten couditioii there was no soil any
where, but ouly rock, great grumr-i
boulders and rocks of other nature, buc
that in the vast periods of time sviiich
elapsed between the cooling down «t
the earth’s-crust and the time when
map peal and other aiiiiuuls began to ap¬
on the earth, rhe rocks had
rotted and crumbled away and pro¬
duced wiiat we now know as the soil
and subsoil. The rain falling upon the
rocks sink* iuro tne cracks and fissure*,
and, freezing therein, tears aud flakes
off small particles; these in turn, being
swept along by floods, are ground
against each other and gradually re¬
duced to powder. Tne oxygen of the
atmosphere also exerts a cuemical effect
in converting some of the minerals into
oxides. For instance, i f you leave a
bright, #few ax out exposed ro tn -
weather you will soon note a coating
upon it which you call rust; that is
produced by the actiou of the oxygeu
of the air upon the iron of the ax, nnd
is really the oxide of iron. Iu this way,
then, by the action of water in treezitig
and thawing, in grinding aud trail
porting the broken fragments of the
rock aud by the aation of the air in ox¬
idizing the minerals going on for many
thousands and tuousauiis pf years, pos¬
sibly millions of years, the rocks have
been gradually converted into what we
now know as the soil and suosoil.
The subsoil may extend down only a
few feet, or it may extend for many teet,
but when you get to the bottom of it
you will strise the rock, usually the
same kind of rock from which the soil
was originally derived. Soils may be
divided into these general classes—
sandy, clayey, limy and peaty, accord¬
ing to wbetuer their pnucipal ingre¬
dients consist of sand, clav, carbonate
of lime or vegetable niatrer. A soil
which contains over 70 per cent of sand
is called sandy, siucu soils usually con¬
tain but little plant food. They are til
adapted to withstand a drought, as the
little sandy particles absorb and retain would buc
moisture aud the crops
soon burn up rainfall iu a long dry season; but
when the is abundant ar irri¬
gation is ac hand those soils are desira¬
ble, bc- iti-e they dry out quickly, per¬
mit the eit-y cultivation of the crops
and respond quickly to liberal fertilize
tioii. They are especially adapted to
quick-growing clay soil is crops. that Contains
A one over
60 per cent of clay, and is exactly the
reverse of the saudy soil. Water perco¬
lates through them very slowly and in
a very wet season the crons on them
suffer from the excess of moisture. They
are also more difficult- to cultivate.
These lands, however, are usually rich¬ I
er in plaut food. They are weli asiapt
ed to the grains and gra-ses. Limy !
soils, lime soils, contain or calcareous 20 soils, are of ]
those which over per cent

and it also aid' in breaking up mineral
combinations in the soil, and so render¬

Lime also aids materially in the
decay of organic or vegetable mat¬
ter ill the soil; it also improves

both to saudv and ghiv soils.. It causes
the very loose particles of the sandy soil

Improves its - power of absorbing and
holding warer; it also improves the tex
tare’of a oiav soil by preventing the
closely particles from sticking or adhering so
together amt thus loaders it
more porous and iriabie and etsv to
work, and also enables water to pass
through it more easily, in a measure
obviating the dangers of a wet season

ed to the grains and grasses aud fruits.

the soil will help convert these into
humus which is so the highly world appreciated because it
by tarmers all over
