Professor Jackson, in speaking on the above subjects, has the following observa " We can .-on experimental trials aud from long and repeated observations, give some useful directions a to the operation of compost manures. The fiiHowing re suits may therefore he found or advautage to thearmers. Vegetable matters, on de compouidon, produce a brown substancc, which has acid 'properties: By the action of alkali.e mattera, such as potash, soda, ammonia, and lime, we may correct this narural acidity. and at the 'name time convert a larger proportion of the vegetable moul-I into a soluble manure cnpable of being taken up by the rootlets of plants. and suitable for asimailation in the vegetable sap veose's. Auimaie nuter, containing a large pro portion of nitrogen, gives nut a great quan tiiv of ninonia when icutomipoiel. Ilenco thc well known valtc of animal excremcuts as manaired. even on soilq already charged with a sllicienev of ve-riable matters. Now we shall se that tle influence r.f lime in a compost heap, conpoised of ve etable and animal mat(c in a state of de cay, is to eliminate the ammonia from the the putrid animal matters, so as to cause it to act upon the vegetable substances, which are naturally acid, and to render a large proportion of the orgaiic matter so luble in % ater. The infl nece of dimo is alio exerted to netralize acNhs whicli in their free state, are nuoious: such for instance, as tihe sul phoric and phosphoric acids. and their acid stalis, and the resulting combinations with lime are extremely favorable to vegetation. Gyp.un, if mixed into a cotmpust where carlonate of ammttouin is eliminated, is partially d.-roamposed. and carbonate uif lime & sulphate of a'nnouia result, which the experiusents of .lr. Lecoq and others have pro-ed to he valuabile saline manures.
