The y. T.. Farmer thus answers a cor
respondent who asks for information re-
Speeting the benefit of salt in wheat cul-
ture:
The results OF experiments that have
been made in the Use of salt for manuri-
al purposes have been 50 diverse that We
suppose there Is no settled opinion as TO
It's value Its use for this purpose seems
to have been known in Bible times, and
reports OF experiments with it are found
i'll our oldest agricultural works, and vet
it is but little employed by our best prac-
teal farmers. 1t Is also recommended
for lis destructive effects on thistles and
other weeds. As Il stimulent it must be
cla>Scd with special manureS, and Its
beneficial effect depends on special cir
cumstanccs, which are not well under
stood Perhaps this is one OF the agri-
cultural riddles which our farmers col
le@es are to solve. \ correspondent OF
the Germantown Telegraph divided an
acre OF clover land into strips of thirty
feet wide. To the first strip he applied
plaster broadcast, at the rate of two
bushels, at Il cost of 81 per acre,-to the
second strip, ground salt, at the rate of
two bushels, or 500 per acre to the
third strip, a mixture OF salt and plaster,
one buShel each, costing Sl.75 per acre :;
and 50 OH throughout the field. The
growth on each third strip with salt
and plaster mixture was decidedly the
best throughout the season the second,
with salt alone, was next and the first,
with plaster alone, was the poorest.
These straps were sown at different
times, extending over two and halt
weeks, 10 ascertain the best season for
application. Plaster did best when sown
when the clover was two or three inches
high, and when the leaves were wet with
dew the salt did best when sOwn just
before warm rain. The beneiicl Il ct-
tccts of the salt and lime mixture, he ac
counts for by assuming that it contains
sulphuric acil. lime, chloride, and soda.
Jour ingred ents, most needed by clo-
yer. But our correspondents inquiry
relates to the effect of salt on 4 wheat
crop. In his American Wheat Cultur-
ist, Mr.. Todd SAYS, his own experience
is not in favor of the application of salt
TO growing wheat, or to the soil where
wheat Is TO be grown. Still he has rea-
son TO believe that ON some soils dress
Ing OF salt has been and may be again OF
great value TO the growing crop. He
advises each farmer TO make experiments
on his own fields, and if the straw or
gram is better ON the salted strips than
elsewhere, then he may conclude that
salt is beneficial to his land. Mr.. Mechi
mentions field in England on which
the wheat would lodge unless salt was
used. One farmer there salted hls ma
nure Mr.. John Johnston, the model
New York farmer, has received great
benefit from the salt on his wheat fields.
His land is rich, heavy soil on the Dor
ders of one of the inland lakes of tn al
State, and may have been once covered
by water. Some years ago he made the

Bedding Horses on Sa,cdust.

\ late issue OF the London Field con-
tains the result of an experiment, the
feasibility of which has been discussed
somewhat. The writer says :-'Hav-
ing used sawdust as bedding for horses
for 4 length of time, the results of my ex-
perience may not be unacceptable to some
of your enquring readers. | litter my
horses on it to the depth Of 5 or 6 inches
raking off the damp and soiled surface
every morning, and spreading evenly
little fresh, removing the whole only
times year. Its advantages appear to
be may, OF which | will state a few
which give it, in my estimation, its su-
periority over straw 1t is much cleaner
and more easily arranged, and of course
much cheaper at first cost, making in the
end excellent manure. 1t is peculiarly
beneficial to the feet, atfording u COOL
porous sutfing, substitute for the soil or
earth we always find in the hoofs of
horse at grass, and present the nearest
resemblance to the horses natural foot
