Salt as a Manure for Wheat.

GROUND should be tested for salt, and
its needs ascertained before it is applied
or else only small portion of a wheat
| field should be selected for the purpose of
making an experiment with a view of
getting results that may be of use in after
years. If the former course be adopted,
and the farmer is unacquainted with the
details of chemical analysis, the presence
of salt may be ascertained by the follow
ing simple experiment:
Collect from the fields cupful Of dry
soil, and stir it for q considerable time in
two quarts of clear rain water Filter it
row through porous paper placed in a
funnel, the same as druggists do their
liquid preparations or carefully pour of
the water after all the impurities have set
tied. Fill tumbler with the liquid, and
pour into it little dissolved nitrate of sill
yer, which will throw down, if salt be
present, a white precipitate, which will be
more or less plentiful, according to the
abundance of the salt in the soil. s.
The following are the good results that
ordinarily follow the application of salt to
grain fields that are deficient in it; plump
er, frmer and more numerous berries a
more tenacious stalk, which is less liable
to lodge; the destruction of several kinds
of insects that are injurious to the young
plant, Fastening the maturity of the crop
and the prevention, to a considerable de-
gree, of the liability to rust
Now all these sre desirable ends to &C.
complish, and, at a time when two bushels
of salt can be bought for one bushel of
wheat, we trust that farmers will risk a
little in making an experiment, even if on
small scale. 1t is the usual practice to
scatter the salt broad cast, at the rate of
four or five bushels to the acre, after the
grain has been put in. Many farmers
who have used it is this manner, have
given their testimony that their crop of
wheat has been greatly increased, and the
crop of weeds, bugs and worms cores
pondingly diminished. If this is, so it is
evident that salt performs two important
offices, while ordinary manure performs
but one.-Prairie Farmer.

Early Chickens.

For this latitude and with the necessa-
ry facilities for protecting the young
broods against the storms and inclemen-
cies incident to the season, esteem the
months of April and May as the best for
having them come forward; while in re-
gions further south should prefer to have
them Matched out at least month earlier.
Now, this preference for early Matching is
predicated in part upon the supposition
that somebody will look after the welfare
of young birds, and not allow them to be
given over entirely to the mothers care.
Where they are to be abandoned entirely
to their mother, and to struggle and
scratch their way up as best they may be
able, think the better plan will be to al
low the hens themselves to determine the
time and season when they will bring forth
their broods.
Chickens Matched in the early spring,
where properly protected and tended, are
generally more vigorous and healthy, grow
more rapidly through the summer months,
and make larger fowls than those arriving
in latter portions of the breeding seasons.
And, furthermore, pullets which come in
the early spring are so well matured that

PUT out potatoes early, all kinds. Put
out as early as the ground will admit, and
cover with five or six inches of dirt. Plant
rows 81 inches apart, hills in the row IL

Sow your oats as early as you can well
get them in-on the first mellow ground
But do moi sow if only the top is mellow
and the soil below wet. The oat is hardy,
and will stand the cold well.
Peas should also be sown early, and not

condition of the patient. The pulse will be
stronger and more regular, the eye will begin to
lose its dull expression the muscular and nervous
systems to recover their tension, and the spirits
to improve. Persevere, and complete revivif-
cation of the depressed animal and mental powers
is certain. In cases of dyspepsia and bilousness,
the same salutary results will be obtained. the
appetite will revive, the saliowness of the skin
disappear, and all the distressing symptoms which
accompany disorders of the stomach and liver
will rapidly subside. The sudden changes OF
spring often intensifes these complaints by check
ing the respiratory action, by which so much
morbid matter is evaporated through the pores OF
the body, and therefore the BITTERS are espe-
eialy useful to the dyspeptic and bilious at this
season. a3 g tsl{ $50.

PAIN KILLER. Thousands of persons, were
they called on to do so, would cheerfully testify
that they have used it for various ills, with the
most satisfactory success. 1t is within. our own
knowledge, that an immense amount of suffering
has been relieved by it, It's proprietors, Messrs.
Perry Davis q Son, save no pains or expense in
order to satisfy the public Being strictly honor
able men, they observe the utmost uniformity in
the manufacture of their celebrated Pain Killer.
The materials of which it is composed are care
fully selected-none but the best quality being
the Pain Killer has long since acquired is at all
times triumphantly sustained. In view of these
facts, we are by no means surprised to learn that
Messrs. Davis q Sons sales are constantly and
rapidly increasing. While we congratulate our
friends generally that valuable preparation as

LONDON, August 30.-The Times to-day,
in its Manchester cotton trade report, says
that it is admitted that the returns of the
cotton sales at Liverpool were falsifed every
day last week. The figures really amounted
to but little more than half of those given
to the public, and, as the result, there is
something like panic at Manchester, and
for the present all confidence is lost in the
truth of the returns from Liverpool. There
is no disposition to do business either on the
part of the sellers or buyers.

tons Of Africa, undertaken ct her own ex-
pense. When Spoke and Grant were exs
ploring the Nile, Miss Time, accompanied
by her mother and her aunt, Baroness Won
Capellen, with large number of servants,
attempted to penetrate with their own
steamer from Chartoum up the White Mo
in order to reach the two explorers, but ON
account Of sickness and the difficulty Of
ascending the rapids were compelled to re-
turn after reaching Gondokoro. Afterwards,
when Won Heugiin and DR.. Steudner
determined to explore the country be-
tween the Nile and the Lake Tchad,
the ladies resolved to accompany them.
On this excursion DR.. Steudner died,
and after him the mother Of Fraulein
Time, her aunt, and two waiting maids, fell
victims to the African climate, and the
fraulein was left to finish the journey
alone with DR.. Heuglin. The dangers which
Fraulien Time experienced on this journey
did not deter her from continuing. She
started from Tripoli on the 18th of January
of the present year, and arrived OF Muir
zuk, in Fezzan, after journey of about
two months duration. She travelled lei
surely, her caravan consisting of more than
fifty persons and seventy camels. All her
followers, with one exception, were either
Arabs or negroes, and she herself dressed
like an Arab lady. She was looked upon
by the Arabs with the greatest respect, and
they called her " Bent-er Rey," that is,
"Queen's Daughter" Her long sojourn
and travels in the Orient produced total
adherence of European habits, and she be-
came embittered against everything Euro
pean. Before starting upon her last jour
ney she determined to go even further in
getting rid Of everything not African about
her, and 80 left her own and her servants
watches at Tripoli, and used the old-fash-
toned Arabian sand-clock or hour-glass.
She was eccentric in her adherence of civ
ilization. -Bultimore San.

change Bank, who declined receiving it IN
the absence of Mr.. Hart, who had been
taken Ill in the mean time and had gone
home. The injunction was asked to i'm
pound the $4,000 which lies at the Chat
