Utility Of Salt in Agriculture.

UtuGy VI GulG HSIlCulluCC.
"We have several times invited the at
tention of our readers to the article of salt,
to be mixed with manures, to be spread
broadcast, or be applied to the hill of corn OF
potatoes. 1t is now time to be stirring in this
matter--to be guarding our potatoes against
worms, rust and rot.
s1From numerous statements made by
farmers from different quarters, it seems
that salt is useful to protect potatoes against
the fungus that appears on the zines, and
probably causes the disease that has been
so much talked Of If this is true, we ought
not to delay one day to provide salt to be
used on the ground in some mode or other.
Coarse fine salt may be used with ash.
es and plaster, and put on corn or pota-
toes soon after they come up. 1t serves
TO- attract moisture, the want of which is
more detrimental to potatoes than any other
CROP
We find the above in an exchange paper
! OF July last, and it is well worthy the con-
slderation of the agricultural part of our
citizens. he cost is but trifling, and a tri
aIcan do no harm, eyentif it does no good.
We have oursef had occular proof of the
efficacy ofsalt as manure It is especial
III useful on pine sandy land, where soils
poor and subject to drought 1t not only ac
Scnnulates moisture and thereby prevents the
plant from whitening, but it has of itself
qualities which are highly nutritious. IF
planted with the seed its effects seen as soon

Where dark woods are waving,
Where the gush of the fountains
Wild flower-wreaths is laving,
Where streamlets are springing
To meet the caresses
Of the wind-spirit, winging
To bathc their bright tresses.
Through the depths of the forest
will wander, still lonely,
And the spirit thou implorest
Shall be my guide only.
The star of thy bower,
In brigh: beauty cleaning,
Through Nights silent hour
Shall illumine my dreaming.
And still will l bless thee,
Star of my youths heaven!
Though another caress thee,
And sing the at even,
When sunset is dying,
Strains sweeter, not fonder,

Still loveless must wander.

Rest in Heaven.

Should sorrow DER thy brow
Its darkened shadows fling,
And hopes that cheer thee now,
Die in the early Spring;
Should pleasure at its birth
Fade like the hues of even,
Turn thou away from Garth
There rest for thee in Heaven.
If ever life shall seem
To thee toilsome way,
And gladness cease to beam
Upon its clouded day;
If, like the wearied dove,
Der shoreless ocean driven,
Rise thou thine eye above
There's rest for thee in Heaven.
But o! if always flowers
Throug ghout thy pathway bloom,
And gayly pass the hours,
Undimm'd by earthly gloom;
Still let not every thought
To this poor world be given,
Not always be forgot
Thy better rest in Heaven.
When sickness pales thy cheek,
And dims thy lustrious eye,
And pulses low and weak
Tell of time to die
Sweet hope shall whisper then,
"Though thou from earth be riven
There's bliss beyond thy kin
There's rest for thee in heaven

CoTToN IN INDIA.-The cultivation of cot
ton in British-Lndia was under consideration
at the recent annual meeting of the Man
chester Chamber of Commerce. E. Armit-
age, Esq, Mayor of Manchester and Presi-
dent of the Chamber, stated that in 1886
there were $4,000 bags shipped from India
to England; and that in the same year.the
United States supplied 764,707 bags; in
ls45 England derived from India only
10000 bags, showing diminution pro
duction, whilst the United States, in that
year, shipped to England l,555,O00 bags.
Mr. A. attributed the failure in India to the
abuse of patronage IN that quarter, and the
increase in the U. States to the selfreliance
of our planters.
