		Saltpeter (potassium nitrate) was thought to be a constituent of plants, not a nitrate source; therefore, by addition to the soil, one was adding an intrinsic pan of the plant and thereby maintaining the "fatness" of the soil (Russell, 1926).
		Oil was considered one of the "natural principles" that was introduced to earth in rain, and fire was found "in all bodies." Home's work marks one of the cornerstones in plant nutrition theory, i.e., a multitude of factors are considered to explain the nourishment of plants.
		Thus, Glauber's salt, one of the early saltpeter mineral fertilizers, was not only the product of his scientific endeavor but also a reaction to the devastation of the Thirty Years War.
