Those most experienced in the cultivation of
this plant are sangnnc that. with proper soil
and proper cultivation, il is more profitable Ma,,

than those of the flax plant, and combine the
qualities for table use of the best olive oil for

My cows. work horses. and young cattle. as well
as sheep, have been regularly supplied with 1t as
often as once n week, for two years, and not
withstanding the feed in the pastures during a
part of the grazing period of both seasons, was

severe drought, the stock generally has remain

than have seen them for years.
Sheep, especially, are extremely fond of it,
preferring it to fine salt, and partaking Of it
with almost the same avidity with which, when
hungry, they devour their meal or grain. AS to
the general efficacy of the practice, and its ten.
dency as respects the health of the stock. will
merely say in conclusion. that | am acquainted
with several discriminating farmers who have
made the same trial, and that in no instance
with which ! am familiar. or which has fallen
under our direct personal observation, has il
been attended with other than the best results.
The proportions in which the ingredients should
be given, are one part salt to seven of ashes.
The salt should be fine. and the ashes dry and
free from Goals. IF Thought necessary the salt
may be increased in quantity, to two or even
three parts, instead Of one. Try it, farmers,
and see if it doth not I" do good like medicine

exposure Of the receptac!es would subject the
salt to injury in rainy weather.-Er. paper.
