eaRM NOTES. — —————— ASHES VS, VEGETABLE MATVER.,— A suggestive lesson may be derived {rom the following simple experiment: Upon one acre of land a farmer plowed in a quantity of corn-stalks, while upon another acre he spread the ashes result- | ing from the burning of an equal gquan- | tity of stalks, That upon which the stalks were burned gave the best start, | but the acre upon which the stalks | were plowed in soon caught up and sur- | passed the former, and finally matured the better crop. ‘This experiment illus- 4 trates the difference between mineral fertilizers and decayed vegetable matter or humus, The minerals, being in a | soluble condition, soon made themselves | manifest mm the increased growth pro- duced. At first the buried cornstalks | bad no effect upon vegetation except by | increasing the porosity of the soil and | by admitting larger supplies of atinos- | pheric air to act upon the constituents | of the sod, When the stalks commen- | ced to decay, and the minerals were not only liberated from the stalks, but | also from the soil in contact, then the | corn which was planted upon the stalks | began to pull ahead of that planted upon the plot fertilized with ashes, The value and efficiency of the ashes would be sooner exhausted than the vegetable matter of the stalks. Again, where the stalks were used the fertility of the soil would be increased, because in all probability the nitrogen conta! ne d in the stalks would remain intact un liberated by their decay. This sub- stance would be in the form of ammo- nia and its compounds, again ba decomposed belo plant food.
