In Newburyport we laive a school

people.
The school house is on Charles

more fruitful than the plough, whicb
breaIms turns and displaces the earth,
without mixhctng it. The effect of both
is inierea-ed by the harrow and the
rolk r, so that, in the very same places
where a crop has grown during the

Haron Liebig Fmates that "nitrate

peculiar to their elements, perform
also a kind of digestive function" in

These substances net beneficially

they may be pernianently repl;'ced in
