" AGRICULTUKA L Mr. r resident and Memlftrt of the Few York State A srficultural Society, I know of no business ot profession which has so much to' do with the deep and profound principles of science, and which .? ih anmn time has made such shifts to ret slorir without them as Agriculture. This faet that it can get "along without the direct aid f the principle oi science is one cause that it has advanced so slow ly, and that considering its great age, it is so much behind other arts and professions. In this respect it funmhee a very curious example sf the mutual dependance of the sciences and arts upon eacu oiuci lurpro rrsa and advancement.

Such a result eouhl not fail lo open the whole field of inquiry relating to pro iluetion and exhaustion, and the relation in which they stood to each other. From ex. haustiori originated the analysis of soils and the mote modern analysis of productions in which 1 are locked up tne elements they have drawn from his store-house; the first leads to a knowledge of what and how much the aoil contains; the latter, of what and how much has been taken from it. So also the fact is brought out by inference what mut be returned lo maintain it at test tempb'amwiifflftfiM'- crease it to an indefinite extent. The state of agricultural knowledge at the present time, is characterized by an ac cumulation of facts which are unclassified and unarranged, fhey are like the biick and stone piled before and around the aite of a great edifice about to be founded, and which are ready to be arranged in the walls of a spacious building. Many of these faets. it is true, have a definite signification. or in other word tlieir relations nre well known, but a great majority of them have no known collocation.afthotigh they cleirly belong to the edifice. So top, to keep up the simile, 1 may with truth remark that the master builder is yet to be found, whose sagacity and skill is equal to the Issk of pulling together the discoradnt parts, and to construct from them a symmetrical whole. KotthnsfuJwfc ibAiUniijfUon 1 have em ployed to show the view which I entertain of the aUteof agricultural science, it is still true, that it requires only a moderate amount of information of Chemistry snd lhe collateral sciences to understand many of the applications of the principles upon which the practices ot husbandry are based. When I speak, therefore, of the accumula- fiisB f fn.Uytl efttaa to be onderstdod. that it is their relation to a system an I not to the meaning whkh they may have as individual facts. For example, the good effects of draining may be explained on philosophical principles though the theory of Agriculture is yet to oe pij - into iorm snd shape.

But regarded in a anooroinaie light nd in following out the practical mmirornrrrtw nf- the me, that of dtaWHtg from the earth treater snpplies of bread, it was tz-.i fivind that it might be overtax the principal result upon which the good effects depend is the permanrnt elevation of the temperature ol the soil. surfaces constantly bathed in water an! which are supplied with this element from living springs, csnnot susin tne temperature re quited for the better, gtea-eay cereals, or esculents, so long ss it is in this condition Evapntaiion as you well know, is a source of cold; flor csnnot be formed without heat : and hence, the heat instead oi be ing expended in the elevation of the tern peraturetf the earth, ss it is in a dry place, is wholly taken up by vaporoua water and carried off. .. . Hence, .in . hot, tlay the tern.: perature is always low, rising scarcely Si bove 50 of Fun. while the surrounding dry plsces are 7 80, and even 120 when the soil is dark. The principles of drain ing then are perfectly understood, and this is the case with many other agricultu ral practices The practice of hoeing or stirring lhe soil u far more general, than draining, but tue principle upon wnicn : the practice is founded are not so well understood. Generally farmers suppose that the object is to kill the weeds; so far it is good; but the etlect or nceing is not confined to this single result i for boeing, when all the weeds sre alrradv extirpated. J followed by the most decided advantage to the crop; hence something more than the destruciion of weeds comes to pass. n raauli imdnuhtedlv aiiaei from the an- smbent powers a &4trtM live matters, such as caroomc aciu anu ammonia dissolved in atmospheric air, are readily taken up in this state of the surface, but an old and indurated surface becomes insert and inactive. The power of surface alone effectual in ptomoting absorption and decomposition of the most active bodies. The perfect combustion oi vegetaoie ana animal matter, takes puce nm upon tne surface upon which they rest. An impure ash exposed to heat, though but just ele vated aboe redness, undergoes a perfect combust'on in contact with platina Toil while that part or the ash and above the surface is still impure cr unburned. So the pow. er ot surface condenses the nutritive ge snd chemical changes take place there more energetically than elsewhere. The surface of a leaf has sttrlace action, and becomes the seal of chemical combination through its physical powers; for surface action is at first all physical action, and precedes that of decompoaition. What is here termed surface action may not be readily appre hended; it is undoubtedly analogous to tha action of platinum black or platinum sponge in igniting hvtrogen. If a jet i thrown upon ttfh takes fire -and has "long been used as a means lor producing umian tsneous light and combustion. The earth acts upon the gasscs when light and porus and freah, as platinum sponge on hydrogen en.- Whatever way we rosy choose to explain the good effect of boeing there ta no doubt' that a fresh surface is frequently requited ii we desire rapid and rigorous growth. - ' 7'.. , - There is probably no substance in use aa a manure whiehas frftimfty disappoint the farmer, as plaster. . Id the first pi see it may operate more effectually than is ex pected, and again it may have no effect whatever; and finally, when it has opera led veiy beneficially for a time, it ceases to do so. This is what is called plaster sickness. .Now these facts ought to be explained. On whst principle does plas ter ever promote vegetation? Liebig says that it is by absorption of ammoniasul phate of ammonia being lhe product of change. Were thin alwavs true, 1 can see in it reasons why it should always bene fit crops. Sulphate of ammonia aiwaya does, but blaster does not. But there ii IndtfiWfciW sulphur M wanted vt the nitrogenous bod ies lhe piotetn compounds. It mar, too, operate well in virtue of it lime, which is an element of the highest importance to vegetables. I here may be therefore three reasons why plaster promotes vegetation lhe supply of ammonia for the nitrogenous bodiea, the supply of sulphur for the same, snd finslly, the supply of lime. But why it should cease to do good, is a question which has been answered only hypoiheti eally. We may suppose that in the first place the soil requires, at the time, no ad ditional matter which plaster itself esn furnish; it-is ibis case a negative. When it ceases to do good at the e.id of a few years, it may he Irom exhaustion, that is. the soil originally light, may be deprived of phosphoric acid, df chlorine, of mngne si3. or soluble ailica, and the alkalies-par- trculatly at amnerr Writer -peit.id lfiSn IT plaster had not been used. II has aided in the removal of a large quantity W inorgan ic matter, different from itself, in a less lime than if it had not been otherwise employ ed. If a crop it increased one-third it has taken up one third more of the potash of the roil than would hare been obUlriei wilhooUt ui Uuawa njsy see that lhe further u of platter will be worse than.uselessv ' v ") There is nothing plainer than this, that every element wnich is lound in a punt in analysis, is necessary to its constitution, snd is linble to be removed in a series of croppwur. This leads to the neseasity of eopplyiog h'etlv but what-elemeat or elements may be wanting, can . be known for a certainty only by anal) sis.; In plaster if kness, therefor , our remedies need not be hypo helical, if we pursue , the method f proposed; analyaia will reveal the csuse ol plaster sickness, ana probably any oiner sickness whmh follows from constant cul The application of Science to Agriculture, anoears nf t'e hi chest importance when viewed in this light; as pointing out first the composition of productive ami barren soils, and afterward, the true method of maintaining and restoring them to fertility at the least possible expense in labor or cash, in the same line of investigation liea the business of determining the corm noaition of the inorcsnic matter wi tch vegetables remove fmm the aoil; indeed, . . . , i 1 1 i .i m ono sense, inj.a..w.QTinnu.i9 precr.ue vie other, for it is by the composition ol lhe inora-anic matter of plsnts H at all that is 'essential to a fertile aoil is determined.' But chemists went to work the other way and determined first, the composition the soil: and inferred from their results what thev supposed on the one hand con auioted its fertaity or what on the other its barrenness. This method wss unque tionably defective, and probably for that cause alone gave a deubifui importance lo the value of analysis or soils I no analysis of soils, and of the inorganic matter plants, stood in f . ry aingulsr relatione to each other: the elements oi tne lormer, which sre in the smallest qusmities, form ed by far the htigesi in the layer; thus the alkalies and phosphates of soils are alway inconsiderabie in the amount, and. hence -wtm-eTtrthr wis ol plants they formed by far the largest pro portion. Fertility depends upon those el ements of which onlv traces appear, where only one hundred graine of the aoil are, em nloved in analysis. When therefore or nnalviis of two soils, one a fertile and the other known to be barren from expert enee. were unfinished, that is, those ele- ementr which were small in amount were nut sought fur, it was impossible to see an essential difference in their composition; the barren soil lonked as well on paper aa the fertile one, and so it was said that no benefit could arise from the analysis of soils. This I believe is a fair etatement of the esse. I have now 1 believe aaid enoogn upon lhe points to enable you to form cor- rrt views ol the surttects in queauon. shall now stale in detail several analysis j whiph I . have made, and, which have a two-fold purpoae. that of informatiop con cerning their composition, and as illustra tive of the importance ol tne analysis oi the protluew of the aoil.
