Extracts from the Introduction:— 

 ••A knowledge of the chemical composition of soils and the 

 ▼arious substances employed as manures enables us to compre- 

 hend the mode in which the latter act ; and a knowledge of the 

 nature of those substances which plants require, points out the 

 best and most economical methods of restoring to the soil, by 

 manures, those substances which plants remove from it. M 



" If the farmer knows what it is that gives the fertilizing powers 

 to manure, and is aware of the nature of those substances, he will 

 soon learn the best method of preserving and using them : he will 

 then understand how to make the most of the various sources of 

 manure at his disposal, and he will be enabled readily to save 

 much, that, for the want of such knowledge, would otherwise be 

 lost."
