Présentation de l'éditeur
TlON. way in which the plants take in their nourishment from the air and earth, and be prepared to assist them in this nice operation. 4. He should know something of Geoloot, that he may see the nature of the different soils which are mostly made of pulverized rocks. By knowing the nature, and the different kinds, of the rocks in the neighborhood, he can form a very correct opinion of the nature and properties of the soil. And by knowing the nature of the rock below the surface of the ground, he can tell how far the heavy rains, or the droughts will affect the crops. 5. Mineralogy should be studied to some extent Plaster, lime, marl, c. are discovered by the study of this science. The properties of these stimulating manures, so valuable to the farmers, would never have been known or applied if the study of Mineralogy had been neglected. There are beds of plaster, marl, and lime, in almost every section of our country; and if the farmers would give a little attention to this simple and delightful part of natural science, mines of wealth would open on many a barren corner of the farm. 6. Manures are now but little studied or understood. They are so made, or so applied, that but little good, compared to what they might do, is derived from them. The moisture of the barnyard is permitted to soak into the earth, or to run off on to uncultivated portions of the farm. Fermentation is either checked too soon, or goes much too far. And the manure is frequently left in the yard till all the nutritive gasss have evaporated and become lost in the air.
