That they should at the samo time ho a

any one can see that most- plants do not 
grow when their roots come in contact with 
them. After tho soil is drained, and thor¬ 
oughly plowed and subsoiled, the rains, in 
connection with tho action of the air, dis¬ 
solve out this poison, in passing through the 
soil—tho acids arc dissipated, the soil sweet¬
