AGRICULTURAL.
Salt as a Manure.

Salt as a manure sr grass lands, meadows,
&c, has been used in all parts Of England
with VARYING success. 1t is said tosweeten
the heritage, aud when sprinkled about and
over \ portion ofpaslures, cattle, sheep, and
horses will Immediately repair to this sailed
portion in preference to ary other part of
the field. 1t evidently therefore, renders
grass more palatable to live stock, and upon
consulting the old agricultural writers, it was
found that the notices of salt as a manure
we've many and important and that it has been
used for agricultural purposes from a very
early period. Salt renders the earth capa-
bic Of absorbing the moisture Of the atmos-
phcr-Sa property Of the first importance,
since those soils which absorb the greatest
proportion Of the moisture from the atmos-
phere, ATE always the most valuable TO the
cultivator.
It's fertilizing properties, when applied to
land, may be described as five in number:
1st. In small proportions it promotes the
decomposition Of animal and vegetable sub
stances.
81. 1t destroys vermin and klls weeds
which are thus converted into manure
Sd. 1t is a direct constituent, or food Of
some plants; aud it has been clearly ascer-
tanned that if salt is to be applied to Il soil
the vegetables afterwards grown on it,
are found to contain it in increased pro.
portions.
lth. Salt acts upon vegetable substances
as a stimulant.
9th. Salt preserves vegetables frominjuVy
by sudden transitions in the temperature o
the atmosphere, That soils do notfreeze a
usual when salt is applied to them is vel
known and, that salt preserves crops Of tur
nips. cabbages, &C., from injury by the frost

MUTUAL INSURANCE. COMPANY.

Western part Of the State, consequently much
the larger portion of the risks are in the West,
very many of which are in the country.
The Company is entirely free from debt; have
amount in Cash and good bonds, and is there
fore confidently recommended to the public.

CATTLE Shows AND FAIRs.-Although
many among the rural population Of the u.
States have at length partially awakened TO
the great aud abiding benefits resulting to
them from holding annual cattle shows and
fairs, especially in their several counties,
where MI can so easily visit them, vet many
more continue indifferent to their adyanta-
ges, and others still cling to their prejudices
against them.
Let us consider for one moment a few Of
the benefits resulting to the farmer and his
family ola visit to one Of these exhibitions,
when it is got up as it oughtto he, and would
DC, provided they were better supported and
more fully attended. He has the opportu-
nifty Of examining here all newly invented
and recently improved agricultural imple-
ments, aud selecting such as are best fitted
to tighten and accelerate his labors superior
seeds, fruits, and vegetables, are spread out
before him, from which he can choose those
btst suited to his soil and climate; fine hor-
ses. and improved cattle, sheep aud swine,
are there Cor his inspection; while the do
nestle manufactures, the poultry, the flow,
ors. and many other things, cannot fail to
interest his wife and daughters. Then, again,
it is an excellent opportunity for him TO meet
his old acquaintance, form new ones, and in.
terchange ideas all Of which tend to liber,
alizc and enlarge the mind, and break down
that tendency to isolation and contracted
views, which is the great drawback to the
advancement of the hardy and Independent
cultivators Of the soil.
Farmers should 90 about more, and as
sociate more than they do study what those
most skilled in their profession are doing
and compare their works with their own
and be alive to all Improvements. This il
the way with the mechanic, the merchant
and in fact with all other professions !; henc
their continued and rapid improvement
and their great gains.
Yet, with all our other recommendation;
we would add that Of caution. Conside
we'll before adopting new things, and Sc
that they are appropriate for you; and abov
all. first consult reliable and experienced pei
son, before going TO any considerable outlay
for many new things are comparatiSel
worthless. and Others are not adapted to tn
circumstances Of particular parties. Evpe
