SALT CAUSES WHEAT TO RiPsx EARLIER.
Theodore Perry says, in the Prairie Far.
ner, that he sowrd one and half bushels of
salt per acre upon one halt Of ten acre lield,
just after sowing II with spring wheat, and
the result ~as the salted port on was ready
tor the -icle five days earlier than the unsalt-
ed portion, and not particle of rust, scab,
ar smut, could be found, and the increase Of
crop he Estimated at five bushels per ucre.-
This was valuable experiment, and proves
that salt was needed on that soil, hut Il does
not prove that the same result might be ex.
pected on all soils. All soils may not he de.
ficient in soda or chlorine, but most solls are,
and especially those much worn. All farm-
ers should try similar experiments, for in
this way they eau ascertain IN what their
soils arc deficient better than by a chemical
analysis.

AND DISCLOSURE

srARTLING FRAUD AND DISCLOSURE
The Evansville Journal publishes the fol.
lowing startling intelligence:
We learn with regret that most embnr-
raising disclosure was made At the meeting
Of the Henderson and Nashville Railroad
Company on the 18th Inst. that threatens "a
smbarrass and interrupt the progress Of the
road. AZ . meeting Il was divulurd, for the
Aist time, that nearly o60000O If the bonds
ofths company had been niinapplied by the
company agent In London. The bonds
were issusd three years ngo, and carried by
She then President Of the company to London
Ter negotiation. Not succe. ding to his wishes
q that time, they were left In the hands Of
IN agent, the brother Of the Chief Engineer
ef The road, to be nscotint-d, under the direc.
uon and on such terms rs should first be ar-
proved by the company, for iron Of the rowd.
IL appears this agent, In gross violation Of his
trust, used n part Of the bonds in the pur-
chase Of q steamship, or some other vessel,
fof the avowed purpose OF freIghting the iron
Shat should be bought for the company
This vessel he chartered 10 90 to the Crimea,
and she was lost on the voynge, and ne Il
would appear, without insurance. When
called to nm account, he alleged the vessel
wac the company's, and the loss theirs. What
amount Of the bonds were used In this trans
seton 10 not known; or what has become Of
The balance Of them, has not been discovered,
- no satisfactory account can be obtained
from him Of their disposition. The correspon.
dence with him has been very unsatisfactory.
These facts had not been mnde public be-
fsre. from hope that by negotiations the
bonds might be recovered; and from a con-
vietion that disclosure would rather drfpnt
than aid in their recovery. The Directors
hate, too, been tsesiIrd by repeated pledges
and promises or satisfactory adjustment
both from the agent through his brother, the
chief engineer Of the road. Theae promises
% often violated, It is now believed, have
been made to delude the company, and to
pfocrastinnte settlement. A committee Of
Stockholders have been appointed TO visit
London, and to take proper measures to re-
cover the bonds and prosecute the agent
The work on the road will be suspended
until the return Of the committee and full
knowledge of the situation Of the bonds is
obtained. Many Of The leading stock holders
counselled an entire reputation Of the bonds
