THE ESSAYIST.

BY A.C M. There is nothing of greater importance to the farmer thin » The Com- knowledge of the nature position of of the roil, upon the Soil. productiveness of which he depends for his .means of livelihood. Yet how few and far between are those farmers who can give anything more than a superficial description of the character of their land. Soil is that part of the earth's crust which sustains plant life. It •onsisU of an organic and of an in organic part. When a quantity of rail is burned the organic part dis appear*, that which is left is termed ash, aud consists of the inorganic or mineral pait. The organic part of soils is formed by the decay of animal and vegetable matter, which is spread over the soil by winds, rains, and rivers, or by the agency of man. The organic part is not a fixed quantity, but varies in different soils. The better the quality of a soil the less will be the amount of organic matter in it, and the greater the amount of mineral matter. The name of humus has been given to the black or brown substance composing organic o>atter. In the latter itself there is a considerable quantity of inorganic matter which is set free as the organic part decayr. Thus living plants are fed by dead ones, for plants consist of the same two parts as soils, and so rau3t be supplied with corresponding kinds oi food. The Organic part of soi's may he separated into two portions, one of which is soluble in water, the other insoluble. The soluble portion consists of saline matter. When there is a very large quantity of saline natter in the soil it rises to the surface during hot weather, especially if the subsoil be of a porous nature. This is caused by the evapora tion of the water on the surface, and the consequent rising through the sub soil of a fresh supply of moisture, bringing with it saline matter. If the hot weather continue for any length of time the surface soil will become crusted over by saline matter, giving it a white appearance. In Egypt and India, during the dry season, this saline matter gives the plains the appearance of being covered with snow. ' When rain falls the saline matter is washed back into the sub-soil, re ascending in hot weather. Saline matter being very beneficial to plant growth, this rising of it to the surface supplies the crops with valuable food, and hence we find them ripening rapidly during the heat of summer. The insoluble portion, of the soil con sists of silica, aluminic silicates, calcic and magnesic carbonates, phosphates, composed of silica and alumina, and oxides of iron, and several other unimportant compounds. Clays are almost altogether have the power of absorbing water, ammonia, and organic substances. ft is possible for every farmer to find out for himself the character of any par ticular soil. If an ounce of soil be well mixed with a pint of water, the sand will sink to the bottom, while the clay, being less heavy, will remain floating. If the water containing the floating clay be now poured into another vessel, and allowed to stand, the clay will gradually sink to the bottom of the second vessel—thus the clay and sand are separated, and »fter the particles are dried it is easy to arrive at the general characteristic of die soil examined. If 100 grains of dry soil leave no more than 10 grains of clay, it is called a sandy soil ; if from 10 to 40, a sandy loam; if from 48 to 70, a loamy soil; if from 70 to 85, a clay loam ; if from 85 to 95, a strong clay soil. When no sand results, the soil examined is a pure agricultural clay. Soils are also classi fied according to the amount of carbonate of lime found in them. If they contain more than 5 per cent of that substance they are called marls; if more than 20 per cent, calcareous soils. Though their chief constituents are few in number, soils differ to a wonderful extent. Differences are caused by the proportions in which sand, clay, lime, oxide of iron, and organic matter have been mixed together. The sub-soil also helps to determine the character of the surface soil, which rests upon it, seeing that it may consist of porous sand or gravel, may be light and loamy, or stiff and adhesive. By digging we come at length to solid rock. The surface of the globe con sists therefore of a solid mass of rock,* covered by .the soil. Bocks differ in composition, being either sandstone, iJnjestone or day. When the earth il iWwed and the rocks underneath exposed *° th* atmosphere, they gradually cru^ away *nder the in fluence of the sun, T. mdS> camß. aDd frosts. This crumb>S awfty ,lor J m 8 the soil, which naturally' resembles the rock upon which it rests. .l ™ f? ck be a sandstone the soil is sano/* * ? claystone, clay; if a limestone, **/" careous; if a mixture of those thrt?e substances, a mixed soil. This ex plains why in the same district, even upon the same firm, such differences are to be found in the nature of the soil. In one place it may have been formed by the decay of limestone rocks, in another by that of sandstone. The three kinds of rocks are always found in the same position with regard to one another, first limestone, then sandstone, and underneath these two a hard clay rock. This fact is of great importance to the farmer, if his soil be sandy he knows that by digging down he will at length come to a clayey soil, which can be gradually worked up and mixed with the sandy surface soil. When* ever soil is uniformly bad in it district, it will be found much better where two kinds of rocks meet, as the soil at the latter place will have been forme i by the decayed portions iof the tyo adjacent rooks.
