vegetable and animal substances are consumed in vegetation but they can only nourish a plant by affording mat ter soluble in water or gaseous sub stances capable of being absorbed by the plants this great principle ap pears to be contirmed hy several of his experiments and is probably as correct an account of the food of plants as we are likely to obtain we know that all dead animal or vegetable matter if sufficiently divided spontaneously un dergoes a process ; which brings it at length to be a fat greasy earth which we call rich loajn or garden mould — the woody fibre of vegetables is lon ger in undergoing this process but its texture is at last broken down and it is resolved into new elements ani mals matter therefore and thc muci laginous parts of vegetables being more liable to decompose than dry woody fibre their mixture is evidently requir ed by their nature and hence the ori gin and necessity of compost heaps with regard to the fermentation of compost heaps by attending to the foregoing principle we learn that when ever thev are composed of substances easily soluble in water or easily disen gaging their grasses or vapours their fermentation or putrefaction should he prevented as much as possible : and on the contrary when tbey consist of woody fibre ancl insoluble substances such matter should be added to them as tend to promote fermentation by attending to this
