Salt as q Fertilizer.
TO THE EDITOR OF TIE NEWS.

o'THE EDITOR OF TIE NEWS.
Some time ago, when in England, I was
passing through Lancashire, and uoticing all the
fields to be white, as if covered with hoar
frost, Inquired what it was, and-was informed
that il was'oommon salt, which the farmers
used as their most important fertilizer. In
travelling IN the interior of Pennsylvania I
perceived thessame thing, and was there also
informed that the article produesd the most
beneficial results.
desire to suggest the use OF this article to
our farmers in the interior, where marsh mud
is not obtainahle, and the fields suffer from
drought Salt has q remarkable effect in re-
alone is very valuable, as in great measure
it prevents the parehing OF the ground by
the intense heat Of the summer sur.
The best quantity to be put upon land in the
interior is about one sack per acre, and. in
fact, from close observation consider o com
bination of fertilizers will produce fifty per
cent. more per acre than any one kind used
alone. The best sorts and prop ,rtions for.or
binary land consider to be about, guano ore
hundred and 6fty pounds, poudrette two huB-
dred and fifty pounds, land plaster one hundred
pounds, and salt two hundred and twenty
pounds; in all. seven hundred and twenty
pounds of fertilizers per acre. costing about
4a3. This, with good cultivation and an ordi-
nary season, should give six hundred pounds
OF cotton; in fact, there is no reason why any
land cannot be made to produce two bales per
acre hope socn to see the article Of salt
duIy.appreciated by our farmers, anG take its
place. among our regular fertilizers.

AN EXPENSIVE BREAKF sT.-There seems to
be diversity Of opinion about one OF Cleo
patra's breakfasts. It was the most costly
breakfast that has ever beenseryed to single
human being. I will, therefore, tell what
know about it. After having partaken OF Gle
opatra's necklace Mark Antsny determined to
devise the costiest breakfast ever given.
After several days OF gastronomieal medita-
tious, not having found whit ho was looking
for, he summoned his cook t, bis presence and
told him that, if he could get up dainty
breakfast for lady, which Should be composed
of as few and as small dsher as possible. and,
at the same time, be most costly, hc would re-
ward him accordingly.
Several weeks afterward the cook entered
Mark Antony's study, and told him that he
was ready to serve the daintr breakfast asked
Of him, and that it was composed OF one oliVo
only. at tho appointed hDu the cook entered
the dining room, followed byone hundred men
carrying The olive lin it's Artificial epveiope),
un their shoulders. Thoy deposited it on
table made for the occasion, rnd fifty carvcrs
were set to work on it. AftG several hours or
