WHAT 1 KNOW OF FARMING.
BY HORACE GREELEY
XVIII
ALKALIS—SALT—ASHES—LIME
I do not know a rood of our coun
try's surface' so rich in all ;the materi-
ale which enter into the production of
the Grains, Grasses, , Fruits and Vege
tables, which are the objects and re.
wardsof cultivation, that it could not '
be improved by the application of fer
tilizers; if there bo such, I heartily
congratulate the owners, and advise
them not to sell. Nor do I believe
that there are many acres so fertile
that they would not produce more In--
dian Corn, more Hemp, more Cotton,'
and more of whatever may bo their
appropriate staple, if judiciously fer
tilized. If there be farms or fields or
iginally so good. that manure would
not increase their yield, lam confident
that the first half-dozen crops will have
taken that conceit out of them. Prai
ries and river-bottoms may yield ever
so bounteously; but that very luxuri
ance of growth insures their gradual
exhaustion of certain:elements of crops
which must needs be replaced or their
product will dwindle. Whoever has
sold a thousand bushels of grain, or its
equivalent in meat, from his farm, has
thereby impoverished that farm, unless
he has applied something that balan
ces its loss. "I perceive that virtue
has gone out of me," observed the Sa
viour, because the hem of his garment
had been touched; and every field that
had been cropped might make a simi
larseport whenever its annual loss by
abstraction has not been balanced by
some kind of fertilizer. The farmer
who grows the largest crops is the .
most merciless exhauster of the 'soil,
unless he balances his annual drafts
(as good farmers rarely fail to do) by
at least equal re-enforeements of the
productive capacity of his fields.
The good farmer begins by inquir
ing, "Wherein was my soil originally
deficient ? and of what has it been ex
hanged by • subsequent 'crops ?" I
judge that my gravelly hill-sides would
reward the application of two hundred
loads (or tuna). of pure clay per acre,
as I think the clay flats which border
Lake Champlain would pay for a like
application of sand or'fine gravel where
that material is found in convenient
proximity; and yet I know very well
that, on at least three-fourths of our
countris,area, such application would
cost far more than it would be worth.
Every farmer must act on his knowl
edge of his soil and its 'peculiar needs,
atutnot blindly'follow the direction'of
another. — Yet I knOW few farms that,
were they Mine, I would not consider
enlitinCtidin value by a vigorous
cation of .some alkaline substance—
Lime, Salt, Ashes, or some, ono of, the
cheaper Nitrates. I should be very
glad to apply' one thousand bushels of
good, house-made, hard-woodAithes• to
my twenty acres of arable upland, if I
could buy &tit, delivered, at twenty
five carat! per - bushel'p hut they aro
not to bo had.. I,doubt that there are
a hundred acres of warm, dry, gravelly
or sandy, soil east of the Alleghenies
that 'would`' net amply reward a
lar Ityplication. But Ashes , in quanti
ty are `not to be had, since no good
faiiner sells them, and Coatis thd chief
fuel of cities and villages. - The Marls
of Now Jersey I judge fully, equal in
avertide value, to Ashes which have
been nearly deprived of their potash
bjr;le4clifpg, but not quite half etre ? !
bushel For bushel, to übleached Ash - ea.
I judge that average Marl is wortb 10
cents per bushel where Ashes may-be
bad for 25. But Marl is found in only
few localities, and a material worth
but 10 cents per bushel will 'not bear
transportation beyond4o miles by land
or 200 by water. Salt is only found or
made at a few points and is too dear
for general use as a fertilizer. Where
the refuse ' product of Salt works can
be cheaply bought, good farmers will
eagerly compete for it, if their lands at
all resemble mine. I judge the tun of
Potash I orderedfifteen years ago *Om
Syracuse, paying $5O and transporta
tion was the cheapest fertilizer I ever
bought. It was eo impregnated with
Salt (from the boiling over of the salt
kettles into the ashes) as to be worth
less for other'thati •agricultural ptfr
poses ; but I mixed it with a large pile
of Muck that 'I had 'ienently dug, and,
six or eight months thereafter, applied
the produot to a very poor, gravelly
hill-side which I had just broken up;
and the'imMediate - result was a noble
crop of Coro. That hill-side has not
yet forgotten the application.
If I should - try' to • eXplain just how
and why Lime is a fertilizer, I'should
probably fail; and I am well assured
that liming has in some, cases been
overdone; yet I think most observers
will concur in' my staternent'thaea'ny,
region which has been limed year af
ter year produces crops of noticeable
excellence, I cite as examples Chester
and Lancaster counties, Pennsylvania,
with Stark . 'and adjacent - counties of
Ohio. , PosSibly, results equally grati
fying might-the :secured.. by applying
some other. substaboe; II:only know
that frequently limed lauds aro gene
rally good lands, as their crops do tes
tify. I heartily wish that the flat clay
intervales of Western Vermont could
have a fair trial of the virtues of lim
ing. I should expect to see them
thereby rendered friable and arable;
no longer changing speedily from the
semblance alai to that of brick, but
readily plowed and tilled, and yielding
liberally of Grain as well as Grass. I
am confident that most farms in our
country will pay for liming to the ex
tent of fifty bushels per acre where the
cost of quick lime does not exceed ten
cents per bushel; and most farmers,
by taking hot from the kiln the refuse
lime that is deemed unfit for building
purposes, can obtain it cheaper than
that.
I wish some farmer who gives con
stant persontkattentllnip his work—
as I can mit--:Wdald rizialte some care•
ful tests of the •praCtiCal value of alka
lis. For instance: the abundance and
topalitilk . ?fiotirc - ominon sOrelds sup
posed to Indicate an acid condition of
the soil; and all who have tried know
that sorrel is hard to kill by cultiva
tion. I suggest that, whoever is trou
bled with it should cover two square
rods with ono bush'el . of qUick•lime just
aftei and , : harroivintthis
Spring, then apply another bushel to
four square ruds adjacent; then make
similar applications of ashes to two
and four square rods respectively, tak
ing careful note of the boundaries of
each patch, and leaving the rest of the
field destitute of either application. I
will not anticipate the result; more
than one year may be required to
evolve it; but I ens confident that a
few such experiments would supply
data whereof lam in need; and there
aro doubtless others whose ignorance
is nearly equal to mine.
