AN ADDRESS, 1
Delivered by Hon. John P. Jloyt, to the Centra '.
County Agricultural Society, Oct. 1855. .,
Ladies akd Gentlemes : I feel myself hon
ored, by being invited by tho President of the
Agricultural Society of Centre county, to ad
dress you- I have chosen for the subject of
consideration the constituent elements of fer
tile and sterile coils and the organic and inor- j
anic elements of plants.
It may not be improper for me to premise
that from 00 to 07 per cent, of the forest and
all vegetables are formed from airs or gases,
the balance of the per centage is inorganic
matter and taken from the earth, which you
will please boar 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.
.Agriculture 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 agriculture, (for it is a sci
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, agriculturist learned, that by continu
ed working of their fields, they decreased in
fertility, and necessity compelled them to use
means to preserve and increase 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 tho improvement of tho soil as well as
other improvements beneficial to tho human
family, they used means to preserve their
soils. Bnt 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 chem
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 proportions :

with carbonic acid., in the 100 pounds of fcr
tile soil without manure and with a small pro
portion of potash, soda, chlorino and phos
phone and sulphuric acids.
In the barren soil, we see that sulphuri
phosphoric, carbonic acids, and potash, soda
and chlorine, are all wanting, and are almost
entirely composed f oxide of iron, alumina
and silica.
w o will next examine the different propor
tions of inorganic matter, in the ash of grain
straw and hay, which is satisfactorily bhown
by the following table :

Uy which wc sec that phosphoric acid and
potaaa are nearly 75 per cent., and a fair pro
portion of magnesia, compose tho ash of In
d.an corn, in wheat 47 per cent, of phospho
rs acid and 29 of potash, both exceeding 75
per cent of the asb, while iu wheat straw we
see that there is 67 pr c.nt of silica, 8 of
lone and 7 of potash, making 82 per cent of
the ab with only 3 per cent of phosphoric
ciI which from the great proportion of silica
must be very far from nutritious for cattlo j in
'I Per Cent of ,imc 18 P nt
Ci pP,ash' n4 87 r cent of silica Tvith 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 farmer 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 enablo 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
knowledge of chemistry, yet very important,
as they are said to coinposo from 90 to 97 per
cent of their substance and the ash, or inor
ganic matter, is the balance.
rrofVssor 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
ganic or organized matter. These generally
exhibit a kind of structure readily visible by
the eye as in the pores of wood and in the fi
bres of henip or of tho lean of beef." And
he also says, "tbat 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 bavc an organized form
in embryo, a part of which organization any
one may see by splitting a bean, where the loaf
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 tho vital powers inherent in itself,
and assi wulated into itself, increasing its bulk,
and structure, and reproduction of germs, may
properly bo called organic substances or ele
mcnts, and those substances of deposit, in the
plant, by the vital economy of tho 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 oil into tho at
mosnherc, and but a small portion i3 left of
ash. Professor Norton says, "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 are 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 wbil
burning, the oxygen of the atmosphere, unites
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. Oxj'gen,
Hydrogen and Nitrogen in their pure state,
are gasscs, or different kinds of air. Oxygen,
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
weignt oi nynrogen. inesc three gasscs, or
airs, are without color, taste, or smell ; they
chemically combine with a variety of subsUn
ccs; earths, alkalies and metals, forming va
rious compounds, and with each other, some
of which will be hereafter noticed. How won
derful, that two airs should form water, which
visible,, can bo tasted, and seen while the

in nature, according to the laws of tho 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
