Rains and dews will yield to cul tivated plants all the ammonia and ' carbonic acid that they need;, leav ing the farmer no greater task than to puJ vcj-ize MsoiUand ivait i'tho..m, required physical ! properties, and necessary 'iuorgacia ingred ients,' -Wo are not prepared to assert that this view of the growth and nour isltment of vegetables is ' not true; -but wo enn say that its soundness lacks evidence o an extent which should make one hesitate before ho . adopts the theory , for thq )urposo of making it the basis of a system 01 practical agriculture. .

Before , Mr. Ilorsford went to Europe, if wq; mistake not, ,. he was present at "t an Agricultural - 'i Meeting in the Geological Rooms of.t the old State Hall, Albany, at which Mr Humphrey, then Me.yor of thov ' city, stated that, on tvo acres j of ,; the naturally stotile sand phins U i near that city, he had raised 120 bushels of sheled corn." simply by Entting n handful of scrapings of 'I orns obtained at a comb factory, . fin each, hill at planting. On an- , other acre hard by of equal qnaUty,"'' on which o horn shavings werq ,.a applied, the yield was then 15 bush- els.
