Ashes In Agriculture. Wood ashes is one of the inost important fertilisers. It is easily obtained in any quantity and at little expense. Take them carefully from your heal ths, and save them till your corn and potatoes have risen two or three inches from the ground, and then take a basket on your arm, and from it take a small handful of ashes and cast it at the root of your plants, snd hoe them soon, so as to cover the ashes. Ashes contain all the inorgan;csul*tanoe of the wood of plants which are consumed; part of these are soluble and part insoluble. . Hut the soluble substance mixt with water win tnssoive tue insoluble. Thus, disolved potash will dissolve silica, and prepare it for glazing the stalks of cane, corn, wheat ?fcc. Not a particle of ashes should go to waste. Leached aches has parted with most of its potash, but it still retains 'its phosphoric acid and most of its lime. Ashes ncutralizo acids in the soil; they warm cold, mossy, wet places; they are very destructive to insects; they assist to break down and dissolve the coarso fibres and s'olks in compost heaps; render hard, clayey soils open, loamy and fertile. The potash, so material to most crops, can be obtained here only from nshes.? In granite regions, potash is obtained from the dissolution of the feldspar, but we have none in this rogion of country.?1 Wheat contains a large proportion of potash. Fifty nine per cent, of the ash of corn is carhonote of potash, one half tho earthy part of Irish potatoes is pure potash. .1 Save your ashes therefore, as carefully as you do your five and ten cent pieces, apply them to vour crops with care, and you will find ihem of a rich deep green color, while growing, and heavy with nutriment at harvest.?Ancient City.
