Heo distributed his clay as fast as drawn, upon te award or surface, Iwhere it was pulvoriied by. thte rains asiad frusats, when it wras pulverized by the rol her, and fuirther distributed by the harrow, pThero are other instances eqlially illustra tive of the gooad erfects of clay its changing the character of suchi soils; but thIs was ono of the first attempts at improvemieni in this coutntry, and therefore the more do servitig of honorabale Notice. Fortunately thersa are very few instances where ithe clay necessary for the emelioration ofsect soil cannot be obtained itt the irmmediati vicinity. To dig, distribste. porate the clay with the sand is the eli est, and the only certain mode of reia. ing such soils capable of permianent fertili ty. Owing to the ease with which water penetrates soils in which sand constitutes too large a proportion. they soon become exhausted of the-alkali which is iudispen s.,ble in the forlt'tion of -'auts, andithe growth of sward being inpussible, the sur face becone more impoveriklbed and loose. Ashes distribuaedon such soils furnish the required itkalies, and hence ise ;great ad, vantage of their use. a, fully demonstrated on the sands of Long Island and New Jer-ey. as jwell as those of Belgium and 1lolland. Soap boilers' ashes. or the leacb cd ashes of tlie gheries of the country, are invaluable for the purpo'je, as they still re t0in suticient alkali, irhile the earths of limie and clay combined add to the neces sary constituents ofithe soil. and partially restore the proper equilbriums (f the origin al elements. Liebig, in his lato val-jablo wokk on organic chemistry. explains most satisfactorily the action of the alkaline matters so contributed to the soil. and their absolute necessity where fcrtilitv ii to be expected. The first eflort io im proving sandy soils should be to change its character, then to cover it wiuit a sward. or a growtb of clover; and when this can be effected, the great obstacle to rendering themn fertile or capable or cultivation, is overrotme.

Uypsum furnishes no aj: kali; and as sandy soils. 1., rhe reasons stated above, couiain bit liule, that ma hure by -stimulatinig the rapid growth of vegetation exhausts it rapidly. But oth er substanceb used as nauures that con tshi no alkali, produce th6 same exhaust Ig effects, hurt shiviiigs for instance. These facts show the proper course to be pursued in the ireatntit of sandy soils. -t,- iudeed. all others where the alkalies are deficient.NIanurs.ar.o to be appli cd % hich, contaiq. the necessary -alka lies, in connection w'h the gypsum.
