A correspondent of the Scientific
American hui describes the salt lands
of Nebraska:
-S'Fhere is in Nebraska Territory.
fifty miles west Of the Missouri river,
a remarkable salt region Of which the
Government has reserved II 900 acres
under the Mineral Land Act. Near
the centre of this region there are four
basins containing 10000 acres. Their
surface is nearly fiat, but depressed
several feet below the common level.
As to the cause of this depression no
certain theory prevails-some claim
that the millions of buffalo, &C., which
have salted and wallOwed there for
ages, have done it. Others claim that
the slow wash caused by the salts
destroying vegetation will account for
it. The bottoms of the basins are
composed of black mud covered over
in warm, dry weather with a thin
stratum of salt, causing them to look
like magnificent fields of snow. The
salt is collected by scrapers; OCCASION
ally a man will scrape up a wagon
load in a day.
In and about those basins are nu.
merous springs of strong brine boiling
up. The quantity discharged from
them, if all in one stream, would run
a sawmill. The farmers for a hundred
miles round go there and boil and
scrape enough for home use. The
salt is Of excellent quality-crystals
white and large. 1t is astonishing
that no works have been erected for
manufacturing it. Our merchants
obtain salt from New York and Vir-
ginia, when enough might be made
here to supply a dozen States. This
dry, breezy climate IS far superior for
evaporation to hat of Onondaga.

According to the notions of The Roman:

aud kindly hen was known by her cont

and miss not, bat seldom sit they on any
eggs; and if they do, it is hurlful for
them" Pliny, Natural History.
The best eggs, they thought, to put I'M
der hens when they sit, were those that
were laid ten days before at the utmost.
For neither old eggs nor yet very new
laid be good for that purpose" Some
times as many as twenty-five were put
under one hen; but the general rule was
10 ''let them cover thirteen eggs. howbeit
never under nine"
That which troubled the hens of an.
tiquity, as well as the 'biddIes" of our
era, was "a certain distiIIation of a phIeg-
matte humor, which caQseth the pip, and
most of all between harvest time and
vintage" The cure was to keep them
hungry and long fasting also to let them
perch in a smoky place, especially where
the fume was made Of bay leaves and
the herb savine. 1T is good moreover
to draw a little quill or feather through
their n5strils, across, and to remove or

Mercer that they were often sold for
that variety. In acknowledging their
receipt We promised to give them a
fair trial and leport at some future
time. After the first seasons expe-
rience We did not feel prepared to re-
port in consequence of the fact that
the leaves of half the plants became
diseased, curled and dried before the
end of the season. The affection'was
confined to this seeding, while all
others were healthy, and we were led
to suppose that it might be a disease
to which the variety was subject, and
which might render it worthless
Last sea-on only an occasional plant
was affected in this way, and the pres
ent summer all have been healthy
1t is an excellent potato, about as good
as the old Mercer, while the product
is more than double. 1t has the form
and purple marks of the parent, but
the white portion is less clear, being
somewhat of a buff or cream COLOR
1t will, however, sell readily in marker
for the Mercer. 1t is not as early as
the variety we cultivate for Early
