Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Food of Crops and How to Apply It: An Elementary Handbook on the Science and Practice of Manuring
By proceeding a step further, and submitting the dried plant tissue to a higher temperature, we find that it speedily blackens, While smoke is given off. This blackening indicates to the eye of the chemist the presence of the element carbon. If we steadily raise the temperature to a red heat, the carbon gradually disappears, until all that remains, after a time, of the plant substance is a. Small amount of ash.
The dry matter of plants can thus be divided into two portions - one which we can burn away, and which is by lat the larger portion; and one which withstands the cwtinn of heat. This combustible portion is generally called the organic matter, while to the incombustible portion the terms inorganic or mineral matter have been applied.

Excerpt from The Food of Crops and How to Apply It: An Elementary Handbook on the Science and Practice of Manuring
This little work is intended as a guide to the elementary principles involved in the application of fertilisers. It does not in any sense claim to be a treatise on the subject of manures; and may be regarded as forming an introductory textbook to the author's manual on "Manures and Manuring" (Blackwood). It is hoped that the elementary facts of agricultural chemistry, necessary for an intelligent comprehension of the subject, are stated in such a way that readers unacquainted with natural science will have no difficulty in mastering them.
In the hope that the book may prove itself to be suitable for use in rural schools, where agricultural science is taught, a number of questions have been added as an Appendix.
It is surely unnecessary at the present time to say a single word on the enormous economic importance of the subject treated. The use of fertilisers has become a necessity of modern husbandry, and the amount of money yearly spent on them in this country alone amounts to millions sterling. Any book, therefore, which helps, in however humble a way, to diffuse a knowledge of the correct principles underlying this practice may claim to have a raison d'être.
