SALT 4 MANURE AND WORM
DESTROYER.
salt is good.

:
Salt Is much used in England and other
parts of Europe as a manure with great
effect; Of which there arc numerous well
atteutcd instances. 1t is put or as top
dressing late in the autumn or early in the
spring at the rate of from FIVE TO twenty
bushels per acre, It is very destructive
to grubs, slugs, worms, and insects which
increase with alarming rapidly in all
grounds where vegetable manure is album
dainty applied for insects deposte their
eggs in dunghills and other deposits Of de-
caying vegetable matter, as best adapted
to the future nourishment and develope-
ment Of the infant grub or worm. Cabba-
ges, radisfes, carrots, and many other
garden vegetables have of late years been
destroyed in large quantities by worms at
lacking the roots aud Wouuding and injur-
ing them so as 10 prevent the growth of
the plant many gardeners have suffered
great loss in this way during the present
and past seasons. The application Of salt
or brine to the soil a month or Two before
the time Of planting, it is supposed, would
prevent this great Iisc,liet by destroying
the authors of it, Salt in moderate guam

dependent of its commissioning powers
Nothing is more beneficial to an asparagus
bed, and increases its productiyoness more
than brine or pickle spriuklcd copiously
over it early in the spring. The most sue
cesstul cultivators OF this valuable vegeta-
BILE have long been in the practice of ap-
plying it in large quantities annually.
Every man of intelligence knows the adj
vantages which result from giving plenty
of salt to horses, cattle and sheep; it pro-
notes their health and causes them to thrive
and fatten, and tends to protect them from
various diseases. Horses are protected by
1t from worms, bolts, and collie, and when
they are fed with new oats, new corn, or
fresh hay, give them salt bountifully to
correct the ill-effects of such food !; and if
they have that troublesome disease called
lampas, don't be guilty Of putting hot
iron into their mouth to torture them, but
Lincoln telegraph. [volume] (Bath, Me.) 1836-1846, 1838-10-18

give them salt to lick to allay the iniian-
nation and alleviate the disease. II is said
that cattle, regularly furnished with salt,
not only during the summer months. but
during the winter, and particularly the lat
ter part Of that season and the early part
offspring, are never known to be afflicted
with that terrible scourge called hollow
horn, particularly if they have been well
fed, and that with a portion OF succulent
food, to keen their bowels in proper order,
and carefully protected from the mclemen-
CIV of the weather during the great and
sudden transitions Of the winter and spring
mouths.
4 valuable plum tree, that stood in the
corner of an asparagus bed, had exhibited
evident symptoms of disease and decay for
some years, when the asparagus bed being
dressed copiousy with pickle the tree re-
ived became healthy and vigorous, and
has this season brought to perfection ri"
pened very large crop Of fruit of the fin
est quality. This il believed to have been
caused by the salt, and it is suggested TO
those who consult their interests BY rear
ing the mast valuable kinds Of fruits, for
pleasure or profit to try the experiment,
cautiously of applying snlt or brine in mod
crate quantities, under and about sonno Of
their trees. and detail the result for public
good, hit or niss, for it is of great impor-
lance to record misses as we'll as hits.
1t Is well knovn fact that peach trees
thrive s. 10 well, and live to a great age,
within the range Of the salt atmosphere aud
influence on the ses-shore, and perhaps the
artificial applcstion of salt in small qnantl-
ties may produce the same effect IN other
situations Try it and Jet Us hear from you
how it works; perchance we may discover
the grand pauacea, but keep III mind the

nFt5E PROOF CEMENT The Frencl

"FiRE PROOF CEMENT ---lhe French
cement for the roofs Of houses, to preserve
the wood and protect it from fire, IS made
in the following mannef:
Take as much lime as IS usual IN making
rot full OF white wash, and let it be mixed
in nah fall Of water; in this put two and
a half pounds of brown sugar, and three
pounds of fine salt; if | pound OF al
UNI ba added it will greatly improve the

cement is completed. A little lampblack
yellow ochre, or other cooring commodity,
