To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The same reasoning would furnish a solution of the supposed want of adaptation of lime to the red clay soils of the south west mountains proper, and of its unquestionable efficacy on the adjacent gray loams, as a chemi- cal analysis of the two soils has, I understand, disclosed the ex- istence already of two per cent, of lime in the former, and of hardly any sensible quantity whatever in the latter. Nothing can be more certain than the highly beneficial effects of lime as a manure, on a large m...ajority of our soils, in which, ac- cording to an analysis, by Mr. Ruffin, of as many as sixteen diffe- rent specimens taken from various and distant parts of the State, lime is very rarely ever found as an original and natural ingredi- ent. The important practical question, then, is. Whether the ex- pense of the application is justified by the benefits of the manure. This is a question which every person must determine for himself according to his particular position, and his own views of profit and loss.
