AN ADDRESS, -Delivered
bv Hon. John P. Hoyt, to the Centre J
County jJgricvllvral Society, Oct. 18oo.
Lxdiis akd Gesxi-emeji : I feel myself hon
ored by being invited by tho President of the
Agricultural Society of Centre county, to ad
dress you. I bare chosen for the subject of
consideration the constituent elements of fer
tile and sterile soils and the organic and inor
ganic elements of plants
It may not bo improper for mo to premise
that from 90 to 97 per cent, of the forest and
all vegetables are formed from airs or gases,
the balance ol the per ccntage is inorganic
matter and taken from the earth, which you
will please bear in mind during our progress
in the consideration of the subject.
In order to facilitate the understanding, of
the amount of organic and inorganic elements
of soils and plants, I have taken two tables
from J. P. Norton's scientific Agriculture.
Few persons are capable of analyzing soils
and plants perfectly, and it becomes requisite
that we should depend upon the analysis by
those learned in chemistry.
Agriculturo is the cultivation of the soil,
and husbandry is the management of the pro
ductions of the soil, grain and grasses, as well
as the domestic animals, with frugality and
economy. As almost all nations of the earth
subsist upon its productions, it becomes a
matter of great consideration and importance
that the science of agriculturo, (for it is a set
ence as much as other pursuits) should be well
studied, understood and practiced, in order to
produce the necessary quantity of food for the
human family. Two thousand years ago, or
more, agriculturists learned, that by continu
ed working of their fields, they decreased in
fertility, and necessity compelled them to use
means to preserve and increaso their produc
tiveness, and so in after ages in most Europe
an and Asiatic countries (except in the dark
times of despotic rule) for freedom is conge
nial to the improvement of the soil as well as
other improvements beneficial to the human
iamily, they used means to preserve their
soils. But the 19th century, undoubtedly, is
most replete with the discovery of principle,
means and method to benefit the cultivator of
the soil. Liebig, J. F. W. Johnston, J. P.
.Norton, and a great many other chemists, and
authors on agriculture and agricultural cheni
istry, merit the great regard and high esteem
of all who cultivate the soil, in Europe and
America, for what they have done to advance
the knowledge of the science of agriculture
In their analysis of soils they have discovered
the proper or most favorable proportions of
earths, acids, alkalies, and metals to compose
a productive soil, and in the analysis of the
barren soil, they have discovered their absence
to be the cause of sterility. The following
table will show the different projMjrtions :

In this analysis, wo observe a fair propor
tion of organic matter, or those substances
which can be burned away, but tho greater
part is silica, which is flint, seen in the form
of sand, quartz, &c. Alumina, lime, and ox
ide of iron, are the next in quantity, together
with carbonic acid, in the 100 pounds of fer
tile soil without manure and with a small pro
portion of potash, soda, chlorine and phos
phoric and sulphuric acids.
In the barren soil, we sec that sulphuric,
phosphoric, carbonic acids, and potash, soda,
and chlorine, ere all wanting, and are almost
entirely composed of oxide of iron, alumina,
and silica. -We
will next examine the different propor
tions of inorganic matter, in tho ash of grain,
straw and hay, which is satisfactorily shown
by the following table s

'All
By which we see that phosphoric acid and
potash are nearly To per cent., and a fair pro
portion of magnesia, compose the ash of In
dian core, in wheat 47 per cent, of phospho
ric acid and 29 of potash, both exceeding 75
per cent of the ash, while in wheat straw we
see that .there is 67 per cett of silica, 23 f
lime and 7 of potash, making 82 per cent of
the ash with only 3 per cent of phosphoric
acid, which from the great proportion of silica
must be very far from nutritious for cattle ; in
hay we have 22 per cent of lime, 18 per cent
cf potash, and 37 pei cent of silica with 6 per
cent of phosphoric acid, and therefore more
nutritious than wheat straw, owing to the
quantity of silica being less in proportion, and
a greater percentage of lime, potash and phos
phoric acid. In this analysis, the larmer dis
covers another very important matter, which
is, that one crop does not require the same
quantity and kind of manure that another may
need ; and this being properly understood,
would euable the farmer more profitably to
manage a rotation of crops.
As we have briefly considered the inorganic
parts of plants, we will now consider another
class of their constituent elements, denomina
ted the organic elements of plants, and much
more difficult to be understood, without some
know ledge of chemistry, yet very important,
as they are said to compose from 90 to 97 per
cent of their substance and the ash, or inor
ganic matter, is the balance.
Professor J. F. W. Johnson says : "The sol
id rocks and soils, the atmosphere, the waters
of the seas and oceans, everything which nei
ther is nor has been the seat of life may gen
erally be included under the head of inorganic
matter. The bodies of all living animals and
plants and their dead carcases, consist of or
game or organized matter. These generally
exhibit a kind of structure readily visible by
the eye as in the pores of wood and iu the fi
bres of hemp or of tho lean of beef." And
he also says, "that sugar, starch and gum, are
formed in plants in great abundance, yet do
not present any pores or fibres ; they have
never been endowed with organs, yet being
produced by the agency of living organs, they
are included under the general name of or
ganic matter."
The seeds of plants have an organized form
in embryo, a part of which organization any
one may see by splitting a bean, where the leaf
in embryo, is plain and ready to expand and
enlarge as soon as the vital principle within it
is brought into action, by heat and moisture
Those substances, taken into circulation in the
plant, with the vital powers inherent in itself,
and assimulatcd into itself, increasing its bulk,
and structure, and reproduction of germs, may
properly be called organic substances or ele
nients, and those substances of deposit, in the
plant, by the vital cconomj- of the plant, as
we may be permitted to say ; such as starch,
sugar and gum, may Le called organic matter
When we burn a vegetable, say wood or straw,
nearly all its substance passes off into tho at
mosphcre, and but a small portion is left of
ash. Professor .Norton savs, "It is easy to
see that this portion of the plant can only have
been formed from air at first."
By chemical experiments, it is now settled
that the organic parts of plants, consists of
four substances. They arc carbon, oxygen,
nitrogen and hydrogen ; carbon is charcoal
as form wood and other vegetables, and of
course is very abundant in nature. All vari
eties burn freely in the open air, and while
buminjr, the oxvjreu of the atmooivH;,
with its base, and it is converted into carbonic
acid gas. It is then suspended in the atmos
pheric air, and being divided into atoms, is in
a state to be taken up by vegetables, and con
verted into a part of their substance. Oxygen,
Hydrogen and Nitrogen in their pure state,
are gasses, or different kinds of air. Oxygon,
it is said, composes one-fifth of our atmos
phere, and nitrogen the remaining four-fifths.
It composes water united with hydrogen,
eight parts by weight of oxygen, to one by
weight of hydrogen. These three gasses, or
airs, are without color, taste, or smell ; they
chemically combine with a variety of substan
ces ; earths, alkalies and metals, forming va
rious compounds, and with each other, some
of which will be hereafter noticed. ITow won
derful, that two airs should form water, which
is visible, can be tasted, and seen while the
airs are invisible, without taste or odor. Not
withstanding this to us, so wonderful, there
are innumerable changes continually going on
in nature, according to the laws of the Great
Creator of the Universe, and it is not less
surprising, and wonderful, that atoms of earths
and atoms of airs, should become fibres and
nerves in the animal creation subject to vi
tality, and professing the power of locoino
tion.

Asthmas, Coughs and Colds, arc by its means ef
fectually cured. Every housewife knows that salt
passes ireely through bone or meat of any thick
ness, mis Dealing Uintment far more readily
penetrates through any bono or fleshy part of the

complaints, that cannot be reached by other means.
ERYSIPELAS, SALT RHEUM AND SCORBUTIC
HUMORS.
No remedy has ever done so much for the "cure
of diseases of tho skin, whatever form they may
assume, as this Ointment. No case of Salt Rheum,
Scurvy, Soro Heads, Scrofula or Erysipelas, can
long withstand its influence. The inventor has
travelled over many parts of the globe, visiting
the principal hospitals, dispensing this Ointment,
giving advice as to iu application, and has thus
ocen mo means 01 restoring countless numbers to
health.
SORE LEGS, SORE BREASTS, WOUNDS AND
ULCERS.
Some of the most scientific surgeons now rely
solely on the uso of this wonderful Ointment, when
having to cope with tho worst cases of sores, ulcers,
wounds, glandular swellings, and tumors. Profes
sor Holloway has, by command of tho Allied gov
ernments, dispatched to the hospitals of the East,
largo shipments of this Ointment, to be used un
der the direction of the Medical staff, in tho worst
cases of wounds. It will cure any ulcer, glandu

even of 20 years' standing.
PILES AND FISTULAS.
these and other similar distressing complaints
can bo effectually cured if the Ointment be well
rubbed in over the parts affected, and by otherwise
following the printed directions around each pot.
Both the. Ointment and the Pills should be used

rable and useful object
The cans and jars are constructed with a chan
nel around the mouth, nerr the ton. into which
the cover fits loosely. This channel is filled with
a very adhesive cement, prepared for the purposo
and allowed to harden. In onler to seal the ves
sel hermetically, it is only neceeMiry to heat the
iwcr xiiirniiy. aim press it into p.'are. It may oc
opened with as much ease as it is closed, by slight
ly warming the top. The ordinary tin cans, used

cannot be closed, as is well known without the aid
of a tinnsr; are difficult to open, and are generally
so much injured iu opening as to be useless for
future service.
Bythissimrde contrivance, tho process of hcr-
metical scalinz is placed conveniently within the
reach of every individual; and fruit, vegetables
and butter (if properly prepared) may be kept,
with their natural flavor unimpaired, for an in
