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 lime. Tne lime exists iu tfie-e soils in sssawasssSisssar* NO. 21, is hseii uoaiiiuttfiy psspinfa. to tuo plant and it also aid' in breaking up mineral combinations in the soil, and so render¬ ing other elements of plant food avail¬ able which would otherwise remian in¬ soluble and therefore inert. Lime also aids materially in the decay of organic or vegetable mat¬ ter ill the soil; it also improves soil; me mechoptical condition of the it is a great benefit in tins way both to saudv and ghiv soils.. It causes the very loose particles of the sandy soil tn adhere more closely together, and so 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 oil clay land. The iimy soils are adapt ed to the grains and grasses aud fruits.

Plenty of lime in the soil will help convert these into humus which is so the highly world appreciated because it by tarmers all over helps to retain moisture, to convert the insoluble forms of nitrog u into the more soluble, aud to give to the soil that black color which is usually found in most fertile soils, and which ceriaiuly Las rliu power of absorbing more of rhe heat i vs of the sun ami thus making the s< ti warmer than the lighter colored soils can possibly be.
