Common Salt as a Manure.

Our farmers do not seem to set enough
value on common salt as a manure to top
dressing Tor their crops ; there are few
crops which will not be benefited by it in
some way or other, though it is said to be
Injurious to the growth Of flax or hemp
Upon all our common crops it has been
tried and has usually been found to be ben.
eliCial, but we still hear conflicting state
ments as to Its value No doubt there have
been cases where it has been successful, and
of these we are very apt to hear, to the ex-
CluSlon OF more successful ones
1t has beed found to produce little or no
effect near the sca-shorc this is supposed
to be owing to the fact that the soil already
contains enough of tho two constituents Of
common salt to supply the wants of vege-
tatlOn, and hence an application of it makes
little or 10 show. If on the other Land the
soil does not contain enough of these ele-
mentS to support overgrowing growth in
the crops, AN addition of a small amount per
acre will often produce a surprising effect
In one case in England six bushels sown
broadcast per acre, doubled the crop of
wheat /; in another case upon the same farm,
that portion of the field not top-dressed with
salt produced twelve bushels of wheat per
acre, while that which received top-dres-
sing OF salt at the rate of five bushels per
acre yielding t'rentyeigH and hree-quaTter
bushels
In another case at Aske Hall, an appli-
cation Of five bushels per acre to grass or
hay increased the latter from two tons and
half per acre to three tons and three quar-
tcrs.
One cause Of failures in the application
OF salt as a manure may be traced to pla-
cling too great dependence in it a second
application to tie same field for an ensuing
crop, will often and generally produce no
visible effect, and from this cause the use
% salt is often condemned
Nor will it do to substitute it for barn
yard manure as has been proved by expert
mens but when applied in conjunction
"iI HlheT mature, it will not often fail to

Preparation of Wheat for Sowing.

Adjust the fanni lg-mill to give light
shake, and heavy blast and put in the
screen-board to carry the grain outward, tC
drop within three or four inches of the end
Of the coarse screen, which will allow all
the small kernels and seed of various weeds
to fall into the screen-box The wheat sieve
should be set in slanting gains for carrying
off the oats and other foreign matters Most
of the light wheat will also be blown over
as we'll as that which goes into the screen
box, will make good flour, but is not good
for seed. If the oats be not all blown ont
Of the seed at first, wheat sieve Of perfo-
rated zinc, or pressed wire cloth, must be
put in the slanting gains, the screen-board
removed, and the seed run through again,
with light shake, and slow feed The holes
OF the perforated zinc, or meshes of wire
cloth, should be large enough to allow the
wheat to pass through. Then if the shoe
Of the mill be adjusted to shake level, the
remaining kernels of heavy oats will slide
over the holes, and fall beyond the sieve.
By this means all the halfripe and shrunk-
en- kernels, not fit for seed, will be separa-
ted from the larger ones, which will pro-
duce earlier and better grain These di-
rections are applicable to those farmers
who have nothing but an ordinary tanning
mill. In some OF the improved grain-sepa-
rators, with only once running through,
nearly every kernel of oats will pass over
the screen, while the wheat will be neatly
assorted and dropped into four different
boxes, the largest kernels, most suitable
for seed, being deposited in the first box,
and the smallest in the fourth box Half a
barrel will be needed to pickle as little as
four or five bushels of grain, but, of course,
would answer for much more, and to this
quantity add half pound of blue vitrol
(sulphate Of "copper". A portion is done at
"A time, stirring it well, and skimming off
all that floats, foul stuff, smutty grain, etc.
As fast as each portion is soaked, throw it
out into basket to drain. The picking
should be done to y hours before SOW
ing. Just previous to sowing, the grain
should be spread out upon a clean floor and
rolled Ill lime Stacked to a dry powder,

that it should be applied often than every
other year, except to celery and asparagus
when it is never amiss. 1t seems to pro-
mote healthy and vigorous growth in all
kinds of vegetables, and has farther effect
of preventing injury from worms and grubs.
Last season strewed little along two or
three rows in my potato patch the pota-
toes from these rows were perfect, while
those adjoining were much injured by being
eaten by grub worms. | have found it to
produce the same or a similar effect in the
the beet crop which often find injured by
the above pest.
If mixed with fresh lime in the proportion
of one of salt to one and a half of lime (by
measure) and allowed to lay two or three
months before it is used, its effect will be
much increased, and it will he found to be
an excellent top-dressing for the vegetable
garden.
The manner in which it acts is still a
matter of dispute among our learned men,
but that it will act is we'll known AJAx
