SALTTO KILL WORMS AND GRUBS,
The Massachusetts Ploughman says:-We
have more than once called the attention Of
Of our readers 10 the use Of salt for The de-.

from il, and feed upon The weeds and grass
between the rows; they thus become useful
laborers, instead of arrant robbers Of the pro-
ducts of the field. We hope many trials will
be made ofthe virtues of salt We can say
nothing from our own experience, and can
only give hint to those farmers who are year.
