It is supposed by some that the introduction of oxygen into their system is as indispensable to them as to animals.
It seems more probable that the oxygen of the atmosphere, combining with a certain quan tity Of carbon, forms carbonic acid, which they absorb and feed upon.
It is at least certain that the exclusion of air from the roots will always induce an unhealthy condition, or even death itself. This may be one Of the reasons why stiff, clayey, tenacious soils are so seldom suited to the purposes of the cultivator, until their adhesiveness has been destroyed by the addition of other matter, such as sand or manure.
