II. Agricultural Chemistry.
In this course there is one class, to which lectures are delivered three
times a week during two months of the session; or, when found more
convenient to students of Agriculture, one lecture a week is given for a
longer time. The chemical and physical properties of soils, of the
atmosphere, and of plants, the chemistry of the processes of vegetable
life and growth, the composition and chemical preparation of manures,
etc., are discussed.
Text-books:—J. F. W. Johnston and C. A. Cameron—"Elements of Agricultural
Chemistry and Geology" (12th edition). For reference:—S. W. Johnson—"How
Crops Grow," and "How Crops Feed;" N. T. Lupton—"Elementary Principles of
