SALT AS MANURE.

q have some idea of using salt on my
farm as manure can you tell me Of any
one who has used it to advantage to any
extent %
Yes, I have, and my father and broth
er have used it for some years. In fact,
ever since we could buy it at a low price
at the wells. | have used it on all kinds
of grain, wheat oats, barley and peas
On these crops | sow about five bushels
of salt to an acre, sometimes only three.
AS guide to you, may observe, that
I SOW with both hands, and grasp as
much as the hand will hold, and as the
salt is moist the hand will thus hold
about twice the quantity it will of grain;
salt will not fly as far from the hand as
wheat.
AS to benefit derived, I have found
the grain average six bushels an acre of
wheat and barley, the first crop, and
more from peas and oats; and almost as
much benefit the next, especially if clo-
yer followed I have carefully noted
this fact, and more especially where
young clover followed barley; there was
then marked improvement The diff
ference was carefully shown by inter-
walls left unsalted.
Our mode of applying salt is to sow
it on the land just before we sow the
grain one narrowing being sufficient
covering for grain, and salt also.
If sown on the surface, salt will re-
main long time unchanged, especially
in dry weather; and applied thus, it
does not produce as good results. [ have
seen the land look quite whitened after
sowing salt on the surface; the rain and
dews not being sufficient entirely to dis
solve it, and its immediate contact with
foliage, am sure, is bad at any time
I am therefore of opinion it is far more
advisable to bury the salt somewhere be-
low the surface.
| have not found this objection to ap
ply so strongly to grass lands, unless
the meadow fescue abounded, and tot
much salt was used. No doubt thi
moisture carries the salt directly down
wards amongst the roots, and dry wealth
; or does not affect it in the same way
, but still it must be very carefully ap

DIGGING AND CARE OF POTA
TOES.

TOES.
We make the following extract on this |
subject from the Potato Book as both |
timely and practical:
'.From planting to cooking and in all
processes between and inclusive, pota-
toes are unquestionably the most abused
things ever cultivated for human use;
and in the long catalogue of errors Pc
culiar to this excellent esculent, one of
the most outrageous is neglecting to har-
vest them as soon as they are ripe. No
other crop was ever maltreated in this
way. When any other crop is fully ma
tured, the farmer secures it at once lest
it wastes and decays. But potatoes, be-
ing out of sight, are out of mind until
convenient season. When the farmer
can find nothing else to do he digs them,
and then perhaps complains of them for
being of bad character. Amy other crop
would be as bad, or worse, if treated in
similar manner. Potatoes are not un-
frequently left in the ground several
weeks after being ripe, as though they
were dead stones and undamageable, in
stead of living, perishable organisms,
subject to all the conditions, transforma-
tons and diseases that pertain to all
vital structures. 1t is seldom that po-
tatoes are not more or less damaged by
neglect to harvest at the proper time, or
by improper management in harvesting,
however we'll they may have been raised
and matured. When the tops of potato
plants wither the tubers are ripe, and,
like other crops, will be injured if not
; at once gathered and taken care of. If
allowed to be once soaked in the ground
by severe or prolonged rain after RI
pening, they lose irreparably some de-
gree of their sweet flavor and some por-
ton of their nutrient properties nor are
, they so sound and vital for seed pota-
toes; and every rain augments the dam.

and less wholesome. What farmer car

HOME EDUCATION. Wesley's home
education under the tutelage of his pa
rents themselves was peculiar, and well
calculated to initiate him early in habits
of honor and perseverance in accom-
plishing any object he might undertake
"Why, my DEAR" said his father to his
mother, or she to him q forget which,
while patiently teaching one of their
children a simple lesson, which it was
slow to learn, ''why my dear, do you tell
that dull boy the same thing twenty
times over 2" Because" replied the
other, nineteen times won't do. If
tell him but nineteen times, all my labor
is lost, but the twentieth secures the OBJ
jectl" All classical antiquity has moi
bequeathed US maxim of more practi.
cal wisdom. In such school Wesley's
mind was prepared to achieve the great
est things by being taught the smallest

IMITATIoN.-We are creatures of i'm
itation, and the vices of our neighbors
are initiated more readily than their vir-
tues. A Prince limps by necessity, and
all the Court are soon found limping in
imitation; Princess bends in sickness,
and the world of women bend in SYM
pathy; Bishop has sing-song in his
voice, and all the preachers in his state
catch the tune. The copy is worse than
the original fault in each case: The limp
is palmer, the bend is lower, the song is
more of whine. AS christians we limp
in duty through example; we bend to
temptations because others do, and we
sing or sigh by sympathy.
1--WE do not speak our words or think
our own thoughts l repeat it: we i'm
itate vices more readily than virtues.
Peters denial has been copied more than
his fearless declaration of truth, amid
ieers and ridicule. We have merited
the look of regret and reproof that made
Peter weep, and the rebuke, "What is
that to thee, follow thou me" more than
the title, firm as rock, which Christ
gave Simon in his new name.
We initiate John oftener forsaking
Christ and fleeing, than in his following
Christ to the trial and the cross; we
follow each other into sin more readily
than into duty we initiate each other
into sin more rapidly than into duty !;
we initiate each other in denying Christ
by silence more than speaking for Jesus;
we are lead into pleasure more readily
than into prayer. We need more like
Joshua, who are willing to stand alone
in the path of duty; we need more who
like him, can say, 81 wholly followed
the Lord my Cod Not, I followed
Him as well as my neighbor not, I fol
lowed Him as we'll as the average Of
Christians not, I followed Him as wei
as my minister; but Il wholly followed
the Lord my God" We need to stant
for ourselves and speak for ourselves, OF

In all these cases of top dressing |
noticed the land to be somewhat whit
ened by the salt for some time after ap-
plying it, Notwithstanding some rain had
fallen at intervals.
In the case of the sailed walk, there
was however a most marked effect, pro-
duced the following summer, on some
clover accidentally sown on it.
This walk had been formed by removing
all the surface soil to depth of about
six inches, for the purpose of exposing
pure red sand, which formed the subsoil,
and was very poor-almost in fact bar
rem. Near this was small patch of
clover, saved for the plough, but not be-
ing required, had been allowed to 60 to
seed. During the following winter,
succeeding the salting) the clover heads
broken of by the wind, had been driven
into the depression formed by the walk.
and the snow and rain had buried them
in the soil during spring thaws.
From this seeding, the following sum-
mer there was most remarkably thick
crop of clover, quite mat in fact and
this crop continued equally abundant
during two or three years that succeeded.
| attribute this rank growth, on such
poor soil, entirely to the salt.
Numbers of visitors saw the expert
ment The quality of the soil being so
poor, left no doubt ON any ones mind
that the growth was entirely due to the
salt. I have used salt in my garden
many years to free the walks from weeds !;
and on our asparagus bed in particular,

kills all the fescue meadow grasses,
many of the large coarse grasses, that

much infested with weeds, and as they
could not be hoed out, l was advised to
sow salt thickly over it in the fall. But
certainly the end was not answered. for
next spring had a most extraordinary
growth of clover and timothy, the seeds
of which were in the manure applied

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Concord On. H. Herald Greeley says II
Greeley be nominated at Baltimore he will carry
the Granite State.
The Chicago Post Grant, thinks the endorsement
OF Greeley by the democrats will drive Off twenty
or thirty per cent OF the democratic vote.
Senator Morgan Is preparing to enter the CAM
paign-for Grant, OF course.
An exchange having asserted that Greeley,
though a Unitarian, believes IN the doctrine of
election, the Boston Post says the Philosopher Is
not Unitarian, but a Universalist and believes in
universal amnesty"
The Chattanooga Herald says 'Dan Voorhees,
died with his democratic feathers on" They were
evidently not white ones
"1hey have mortified the nesh they have put on
sack cloth and ashes, walked on broken bottles
they have bowed their heads in a mudpuddle and
CRIED Let vote for Horace Greeley" This is
what the Chicago Post says OF the democracy. 1t
may all be true, but we doubt the broken bottle
part of the exclamation-they might have been
empty, however, with only the corks drawn.
Henry Fish is the prohibition candidate for Cover
nor OF Michigan.
Sam A. Wilson is commended by the Cherokee
(Texas) Advertiser emincntly worthy OF the dem
ocratc and Greeley nomination for Congress. That
would be a sort OF sea-s-a-w nomination.
All the republican papers In Texas support
Grant. Most Of the democratic papers prefer
Greeley.
The Mobile Register cries out 10 the democrats,
Don't be deceived" and adds Sour Greeley
friends greatly exultant when the telegraph
announces that a democratic convention here and
another there go soldly for the Cincinnati platform
and for Greeley. But II would be much more TO the

Six men were at once put to the pumps, but the
leak increased. All hands were then set TO work,
their efforts were OF no avail They managed TO keep
the vessel a1oat, and headed north by east but on
the morning Of the 5th there were sixteen feet Of
water In the hold, and rapidly rising. The men
were exhausted after their hard and steady pump

The captain, seeing no earthly hope OF saving
the brig, manned one Of the small boats
with five men and his wife, and made it fast to the
stern Of the vessel. Himself and four other men
remained on board and hosted signals OF distress
These signals were seen by captain Olsen, of the
Arstides, who bore down and rescued the captain
and crew OF the sinking vessel and brought them,
as reported, to this port. Captain Andersen ex-
presses very sincere thanks to Captain Olsen and
his men for their great Kindness.
