Ey the information which I have been able to collect, I am induced to consider. Salt, when sparingly applied, as an ad mirahle manure, especially for fallows.and arable land ; and when mixed up with 9.!ii out °igniters, or refuse dirt or ashes, to be very valuable alsO on grass lauds. My own experience convinces me that it is very powerful in destroying vegetation if laid on too thick, having out a large (atantity of reruse t of ar. acre .ant, ~7nick alit'• two years stilt remains quite bare. A land-surveyor of high character in my neighbourhood, considers that the use of Salt wonld rte likely to be very valuable in destroying tile .slug, wire .worm, saail, &c. which often destroy even whole crops. He also veil rem healers, that salt was used largely in the ningbliour hood of the eljgher amt Lower Wienes in • Cliesbit e, before the duties were raised to their present height. With respiTt'• • to its value for cattle, horses an,' sl!eep, 1 am informed that it is Very highly thought of, both as nutriment, and as used ate . dic,.,n;ty,iii arstally, amid externally. • Its value is also ekireme- Sniava f r reouin had . and ill-gotten hay more now istang and More pslataide to cattle than even good hay (%o. 4.—Sir T. Bernard.) . . The use of foul or refuse Salt for manur e is well known in Cheshire, Worcestershire, and the adjoining Counties. It. contains abOuts a third of pare salt; the rest being the dirt and ashes trodden •unsler foot in the pathways about the salt works. The farina-es paid Government for the use of it as a' manure, a ditty of four-pence a bushel (under 8 Geo. 111.. c. 45.1 amiss much more•to the salt proprietor,"as I was told, for the purchaSa of it at the salt works. Bishop 'a atson states,, in tis Chemical. Essays (vol. 11. page.7B), that near 3000 tons of this refuse' salt were annually sold a, North - Alt:lr -alone far in:satire, at eight-pence a basin], inchidiog duty, ter - 6s. d atots or: load; and IMu informed that there was a constant demand fist - it at that price.; and that i,. it orces tersiore the late Lord Coventry bought many hundred loads - of this manure fur hiit placeat 1785; how ever, itsaise was put a stop by an' Act, which charged it with the full duty on pore salt ;..in consequence af within, se veral hundred thousand loads of very excellent manure have been thrown into - the ritier'; u nder the inspection of the Ex- . else Officer, - and have been Wholly lost - to Site cattniry' The preference given to thiaainsetute for a series of years, during which its use was pet matted, is primt in its' value. 'Vie dirt and ashes' mixed with• fin; salt was not iverth carrying far ; and it would•hare answered -better for tae-distant faCtner to .have paid evea four imumia load for pure salt , thereby saving two-ihirds of the carriag - e, and to have mixed. the pure salt with double the quaittity of dirt and askei in his dunghill at home. It will, however;- appirelatid, be found that in this, its in other cases of salt., there were great frauds on the Revenue, and that no duty was paid on, a cousiderabje part, ' of this manure; but even tben, where the duty was' evaded, • there-would remain to the •.fariner•the cost of forty shillings a load, which hardly any other manure is worth. • • (No. s. r —Lord Kenyon.) It is obvinus, that with tespect to the Operation of tde tax,on the consittner of Salt, that a considerable addition to the pticii Of the Article beyond the amount of the tax must be occasioned, partly ou account Of the quick paynient'of the duty which is:required from the maker, and partly froth the natural consequence of larger capital being-required. In my neighbour hood, which is near sonic Salt Works, the price per bushel is 175.6(1. but to the Cottager it is scild'alaid.a pound, being 11. Os., ad. a bushel. The lost of weight, and-the-bate weight which is allowed by the .officers at the Salt Works, necessarily create still greatei• dem:aids front the retail dealer than- would ancur, sere it'Ucit - for the heavy amount of tax. An intelligent friend of mine - computes, that.one house with another, including farms of all kinds, whether, cheese s making •or arable, and cottages, whether' keeping a cow or two or not, about four bushels a year a house -is a fair computation as the- cousumption: Among cottage's who keep - no cow, about a bushel a year .is used ; and in all cases where milch cows are kept for. Owes,. and butter-making, half a bushel a cow may be reckoned a low average consumption/ independent of the titukutity other wise used in the family, and. for curing haven, &c. It is also conceived, that including in the list of cottagers those who keep two cows, it may be reckoned as - a low average; that one bushel and a half Is cottager may be reckoned as the consumption'; in several' instances I am . authentically in formed it is considerablymOre ; but taking it at one bushel, and a half, the tax is 'll. 2i. 6(1. a-year, being above one-fifth of the-average rent of cottagere having land sufficient to en able them to keep one cuss( in . ray meighbourhood. The loss alsd ' by not being able to lay in salted food at the cheap time of the year for so doing, namety part of October, November, and -December, is not inconsiderable; and no doubt, the cot tigers would enjoy food of a very improved description, if allowed the free use of Salt. My own consumption , of Salt at liredingtan, Flintshire, last year, When I kept eleven cows, for checa ,anebutter4aahiq, srwell - es for milk, &c. for the [PRIG E SEVENPENCE. family, and where we were about six months, Wasihirteert and a half bushels, of which six were usedfor dairy - pui p. and of the remainder. no small (pant ty was etugloyed in salt ing five bacons and some parts of pork pigs. In p ()portion. ) however, to the row mode of , living in any family, I conceive there would be an increase in the consumptime of Salt, and the health of the community would be thereby cimeiderahty unproved. It appears, front an accurate report with which I ant furnished, that in a farm in :Flintshire, occupied on a mixed plan, of a cheese and Arable farm, that twe ty-three cows are heat for dime e-making; and reckoning,. t what is too low au average, half a bushel a cow for chee , e-meking, there is a consinuption of. eleven and.a half bushels; besides nine and a half bushels for the consumption of. the family; the 'quantity used being about twenty-oue bilsbels, and the rent iof the farm as its fair value-beiog 24tit. it ap pears the tax is almost trip percent. Thi., appears too peculiarly bard, now that Dutch cheese of severe inferior quality is selling'iu lAnidan, at 9-sd. d pound, while Cheshire cheese in - the country, or even do livered in London, in many instances, does not obtain - more than (W. or'7d. a pound, and the only apparent cause for preference of toe alich, is the ifreater quantity of .calt, which from th•ir treedom front duty, they are en third to put into their cheese %visit to ai'd souse information With which I have been tavoureil resio c;i .g the quantity of salt used in souse farms stricts. ard:.le, sn Shropshire, with rvfe.,ence to the no nee Of iubsrbiralit.- L, ode farm of about -271 acres, the fautily, incuulisur. al:ser vants, being twelve, the quan tity nsed seven. bushels; another' of about .216 acres, the family ten, and qintn,ity of Salt seven bushels; in a third s it A b o ut se; the family four, and quantity of Salt sed rinse bushels, making on this average th , - consumption of Salt at the rate of about two bushels to three pc IS.1:13. The cottagers in Stuisex and tatter parts are in the habit of purchasing fresh fish, when cheap anti plentiful, to co si derahle amount; and it the discharged sailor or Firthc &her man could get duty-free Salt t winch they cannot have miner the present regulations), they %timid be klUjr to sal: their hush wheneVer there is a ghit, or sell it to the cottager to Scl stead of, throwing if away; and to supply the poor in their neighbourhood with fish for their winter store at a very ebe:ip rate. (No. 6.—Mr. Cur Wen.) The Importance of The free use of Salt to agriculture can scarcely he estimated too. highly.' • SOt contributes n t only o the: health of cattle and sheep, accelerates their fattening,. and promotes the quantity of milk given.. by cows.' It prevents the rot in sheep, and the effcct of boring when stock are Jed on turnips or clover. Salt rendeis daqaged hay palatable and nutritious;. awl if applied in difficult seasons, prevents au undue fermentation god heat in the stack. • _ _ Chaff and straw would be rendered available • to a much greater extent than at present by the application of Salt. It would be a most valuable ingredient in the pieparation of warm food for stall-fed cattle in the improved systvni of loll ing:• I have long been in the habit of usiog Salt as a medi sine for cattle ' • and front my experience .of its salutary effects, fshould co n sider_ the tree ,use of it as a - coadimeat would be the greatest boon the 06'6 - i:ilea could oestow on the husbandman. For many years past I have used ten tons of linseed oil cakes in soiling, at the cost of 101. per tbn. Were Salt duty free,. I should prefer it even at an equal exp ense Ver - annutn; but if the duties were repealed* I should apprehend if might be procured at 21. per ton, which would bea saving of 801. a year in the feeding of 100. head of cattle. The greatest impedimeet to the general ad plion of sum mer soiling, is the to•hoving, front the feeCiog with closer. Salt would entirely . preveni this injury... h . supe riority of the Flemish husbandry over our own.is the once stimted use of Salt, by which means the' best pasture and meadow. grounds in that 'country are pat under a c LiVertible system, and by the augmentation of gi eel, crops the produce oft very acre doubled. • The free use of Salt would greatly tend to promote the Cul tiva; ion of green crops., No, folk and Suffolk, he two best cuitivated counties in England, ba.e one acre in six under . roat 4st ko i ri,ind. one acre iii aert Slit in solution 'is a highly beneficial steep fur the preven tion ofgut in wheat. . , The probable con.umpt ion of Salt tot Sheep and cattle way be taken as folio.ss, v.A.•••-• Per ono, iu. 14 lb. to the Stone. • Stones.

It salt should prove a(lvantag,ons in pro noting the friability of strong dry grounds, it wuiild 'be found a great benefit. to farmerasou such soils, and to.►nysclf 'in particular.

I bad once some small oxen tied tip to fat ten, whieb-did not' thrive, owing, as the bailiff sai4to the badness of the hay, of which tin y wasted more t ban t bey ate ; .but by sprinkling it with water in which some salt had been dissolved, they returned 10 eat it greedily. Fro n this, and many 'circumstances of a Similar 'nature that I Lave item in formed of, by persons of 'nailoubted credibility, I am free to •say, s that if the food of cattle tied up to fatten Was sprinkled with a proper quantity of salt, they would thrive much faster than by thepresent mode, and would prevent their being bo van , by an excess of green food.
