Lime and Salt.

Prof johnson recommends for fer
tilizing purposes, to mix l bushel salt
and 2 bushels dry lime under cover
and allow the mixture to decompose
gradually, thus forming an intimate
chemical unison of the two materials.
For this purpose the mixture should
be at least 6 weeks before use, or,
still better, 2 or3 months, the heap
mentioned being turned over occa-
sionally. This salt and lime mixture,
when applied at the rate of 20 or 80
bushels per acre. forms an excellent
topdressing Tor many crops. It acts
powerfully on the vegetable matter
of soils SO bushels applied TO tuf-
nip field have produced as large a
crop as barnyard manure. II is also
very destructive to insects snd grnbs
in soil. 1t attracts moisture IRON the
air, and is useful against drought.
It's decomposins power is remarkable,
and if 5 or 4 bushels Of ii are mixed
with cord of swamp muck, the
latter would soon be reduced to pow
der.
Salt and plaster mixed are also
said to be 9. very good top-dressing on
some, while on others they do no
good. Plaster does we'll on some
soils and is worthless on others. The
same is also. true of both lime and
salt, as it is IF most other commercial
fertilizers. Let these facts be care
fully needed by farmers and gar
deners.

Wedding of the Giants.

[London Correspondence, June 18th,
New York. Times
What might be called a very tall
wedding came off to-day at St.
Georges Church, close to Trafalgar
Square. Captain Van Buren Bates,
who is said to have served in the
Confederate army, and who is eight
feet high, and weighs four hundred
pounds, and Miss Nora Swan, a Nova
Scotian lady, some inches taller than
the Captain and about the same
weight, were united in the holy bonds
of matrimony. The ceremony is thus
described by an English witness:
The hour fixed for the solemnity
was IL A. NJ; and the affair having
got wind, there was, long before the
momentous question was put by the
priest, a goodly number of those
spectators to whom any. kind Of we'd
ding is always. gratifying, and a mon
ster wedding a Joy forever. At l0i
exactly the bridegroom arrived and
walked composedly up to the5altar.
He did. not wear the uniform Of that

derstood TO hold CAPTAINS cclnnis-
sion, but ar ordinary dress, if We ex-
oept an exceedingly blue tie.
At 1880 loud whispers, succeeded
by a dead silence, announced the al'-
i3loacl Of the bride, who, pale of face
and clad in few acres of "white
samite, mystic, wonderful, and, with
her veil thrown back, moved as'ma-
Hiiestically asherpeculiar circumstances
or circumterences admit of, up the
nave, and stood in front Of. her aili-
anced husband, and looked down
upon him from her superior eminence
with the ghastly smile proper to the
occasion. She had been preceded by

farmers to employ the rowing herds
of Summer at manure-making. It
may be done thus:
Select a spot adjoining an outside
fence, and enclose it well on the three
remaining sides. Haul leaves from

a good manure in ten or twelve

A correspondent of the Rul'aI Ne'a
YORKER, furnishes that journal with
his and his friends ideas as to the
best breeds of Poultry, feeding, clean
illness and care of houses. He says !:
In a recent conversation with a
Jew friends, the question was asked,
"What breed of fowls are now tax
ing the preference ?" This broadsid-
ed question is often asked-broadsid-
ed, because we may as consistently
ask what breed of horses are the
best, without specifying whether we
want draft horses Or old trotters.
We, Yankee fashion, undertook to
reply to the inquiry by asking. eFor
what particular purpose? For lay
ing, sitting, for market, winter lay
ers, summer layers, or do you want a
fowl possessing all the good qualities,
without any bad ones 2
Yes, all combined" was the re-
ply; :,
Now no ono individual possesses all
of the graces. Each one is blessed
with more or less, but no one with
all of them. Variety characterizes
all Of Gods works. both animal ard
vegetable-all Of fireworks of nature
and mankind.
When Noah of old enteredsthe ark
hsstook with him of g eger5kind" =
and this impliesa greatyarietY: Then
why may we not copcluds that this
variety was expressly designed to
accommodate the various climates on
the face of the earth. That the kind"

E" expressed his opinion, based
on experience, that. poultry would
not thrive If confined in a limited

ing than all other causes combined.
Oyer-feeding produces barremess,
stupidityi apoplexy, causes fowls to
eat feathers and eggs, and induces
mischief generally, just as an idle,
.over-fed horse will take to cribbing,
and thus injuret himself moro than

Farmer "a" passed by with his

preston seemed to be that hens are
always lousy, and there is no need of
using any precauion. Tie trouble

the fowls are kept clean. +" An ounce

a TLEAsANT FERTILIZER FOR GAR
DEN PIANrs.-Many persons, par
sicularly ladies, dislike to use the
ordinary fertilizer from the barn or
poultry yard, on flowers and other
house plants. :" One who Knows, .
sends the following, which is good
not only to stimulate house plants,
but for outdoor plants of almost ev-
cry kind.
Dissolve one-half to threc-quarter
ounces of sulphate of ammonia .(ob-
tained cheaply at the druggists in
one gallon Of water. Apply ii only
once week, and then only to grow
ing plants. It may be used with
great benefit on beds Of strawberries,
on peas, on dwarf pears, grape-vines,
dahlias, and for all kinds ofpet-plapts
This mixture increases the size of the
foliage of plants, and gives dark,
shining green color. The flowers also
are improved in. proportion. And,
not least important, this fertilizer will
do no harm.
