Salt and Ashes. as a Manure.

A correspondent of the Southern Culti.
vator gives the following statement in re-
gard to the application of"salt aud ashes to
land rs manure:
In 1859 purchased twenty five bushels
of-diry salt which fell from bacon which
was stored in Atlanta, at n COST Of fifteen
cents per bushel. 1t cost in Athens twenty
five cents per busheis Imixed It with all
the old leach ed ashes that could be collected
on the lot-the ordinary quantity which
accumulates during the year on town lot.
This spread broad ,ast over eight acres of
thin, coarse, sandy soil, badly worn by
cultivation, but which had. in previous
years, manure applied in the hill.
My recollection is, that ashes, salt and all
made about eight bushels per acre. This
piece (of eight acres) planted in corn, four
feet each way, one stalk to the hill During
its growth. it was frequently noticed by
persons who knew nothing of what was
done to the land. on account of the deep
green color Of corn. Many questions were
ask ell about it. The seasons, L think, were
good. / gathered from these eight acres
fifteen large two horse wagon loads of corn
IN dths, shuck--equal, / suppose, to about
thirty bushels per acre. . ...tr-. ..s .
Again, in 1858 or 1854. I planted another
piecs OF land on the opposite side Of the
road, somewhat thinner than tho eight
acres described above. This land was laid
of five feet apart. In these rows drilled
the Same mixture Of old leached ashes and
salt, at shout tile same rate per acre. The
! green appearance Of the corn while grow
ing. and the great height to which the
stalks grew, was still more remarkable,
and attract a more notice and more fire..
qusnt reularks.' 1 did not pay any partic>
uIar attention to the gathering Of this crop,
and cannot say how much it made per acre
But Of one thing there can be no doui -
the product vastly increased by the app
| cation.
