ANALYSIS. 



While waiting for its further instruction, let us make 

 the best possible use of what chemistry now teaches 

 with certainty, in the analysis of the ashes of pl; ; 

 and of manures. 



Practice and science have combined to show 

 how all soils may be raised to a high, possibly to the, 

 highest, state of fertility, and a knowledge !' 

 composition of crops and manures shows how 

 may best maintain its good condition. 



The one safe rule for all farmers to adopt is the 

 following : 



ALWAYS RETURN IN THE EARTHY CONSTITUENTS OP 

 MANURE THE FULL EQUIVALENT OF THE EARTHY CON- 

 STITUENTS OF THE CROP. 



This will prevent the soil from deteriorating, and 

 we may safely trust to the process of cultivation, and 

 to the action of atmospheric influences, to make it 

 yearly better, by developing fresh supplies of it.- 

 forming parts.
