least 20 900 White Willow cuttings growing
on his farm, and he bears the following
witness of the very good qualities of this
wood: Having grown it now for 10 years,
and knowing that il will make timber with
great rapidity, and, in time, constitute a
good fence, | am free to commend it to gen.
eral cultivation for fuel, for windbreaks
and for fences" He adds that cuttings
may be secured during every March by a
little effort as a gratuity all over Otoe
county. ''Stuck into the banks of creeks,
into rough gulches, and anywhere, in fact,
upon waste lands, they will return a won
dcrfully satisfactory compensation in a very
few years But Mr.. Morton does not con-
tent himself with this ''soon ripe, soon rot
ten" timber alone. On the contrary he
says; ''On Arbor Day we set out between
200 and 800 Elm and Ash trees, and between
100 and 200 Soft Maples-say in all at least
four hundred and fifty trees. Next-in

Action OF SALT ON PERUVIAN GUAEo.-
DR.. Voelcker, in a late article in the Royal
Aqricuztmal Soclefy's Journal, has the fol-
lowing:
GA distinct proof is here given that com
mon salt has the power of Hberating ammo
MIA from soils that have been highly
manured, from often dung, Peruvian qua
no, and other ammolacal manures, which,
in sandy soils especially, exist in feeble
combinations, that readily undergo decom-
position when brought into contact with a
solution of salt. In the case before us, a
portion of chloride of sodium acted upon
these feeble ammoniacal combinations, pro-
ducng ON the one hand soda, which became
fixed in the soil, and on the other chloride
of ammonia, which passed into solution.
''This analytical result throws light on
the function of salt in agriculture. 1t is
well known that salt is most benefcially ap-
piled to light land after good dressing with
farm-yard manure, alone or in conjunction
with Peruvian guano, and that its applica-
ton under these circumstances is particu-
larly useful to wheat crops in general.
Practical experiments on large scale have
shown, indeed, that by salt alone large
increase of grain was produced by land in
good heart-that is, had been previously
well manured. In this case, the application
of salt evidently has ae effect Of liberating
ammonia, and render mg it available for the
immediate use of our crops, which we know
by experience are much benefited by it.
On land out of condition salt must not be
expected to produce such favorable effect,
and as this manure. no doubt, is sometimes
put upon land exhausted by previous crop
ping, in which, therefore, it does not find
ammoniacal compounds upon which it can
act. one reason becomes evident why salt is
ineffcacious manure in some cases,
while in others its beneficial effects are un-
mistakable.
Peruvian guano and salt is favorite
dressing with many farmers, and justly so.
1t has been supposed by agricultural writer's
that the benefits resulting from this mixture
are due to the property of salt to fix ammo
MIA. | have shown, however, elsewhere,
that good Peruvian guano does not contain
any appreciable quantity of free ammonia.
and, moreover, that salt does not fix ammo
MIA. While theory has erred in ascribing
to salt a power that it does not possess, the
practice of mixing guano with salt is one
which can be confidently recommended SO
far from fixing ammonia. salt tends to liber-
ate and disseminate through the soil the
ammonia contained in the Peruvian guano
applied to the land, which thus becomes
fixed by the soil.''

1t Rains but Once in Five Years.

The tract of country known as the State
Range Valley is probably one of the most
curious that Lower California can boast of.
1t is there the immense deposits of borax
were discovered something like year ago,
and at the time the whole lower or central
part of that basin was covered with white
deposit, breaking away in some places in
large soda reefs, in others resembling the
waves OF the ocean, and in still others
stretching out Tor miles in one unbroken
level, from which the sun reflected its rays
with a glare almost unendurable But one
of the most singular features in connection
with this section was the absence of rain or
moisture the days were ever sunny and
hot, the nights without dew, and generally
warm. For more than five years it is said,
by those who claim to know, there has been
no rain there, until some three months since
the spell was broken. Suddenly, and with
scarce any warning, rain commenced to fall,
end increasingly, unaccOmpanied by wind,
but thorough drenching rain. For two OF
three days it remained pleasant, when sud-
denly water-spOut was seen vending its
way through the valley. 1t came in zig
gag course across the upper end of the lake,
striking the range of hills on the east side,
and coursing rapidly along them The cam
ons and gorges were soon filled with water,
which poured from them in fearful volume
and spread itself out upon the bottom. In
short time 1t was over, and denizens of the
place now lock for another dry season of
Eve years.

One Of the terrDrS for the Nile traveller j.
bees At one time the adverse wind mad,
it necessary that DR.. Schweinfurth's boa
should be towed by the crew. As the rope
was being drawn along through the grass on
the banks, it happened that it disturbed a
swarm OF bees. In 4 moment, ike Il great
cloud, they burst upon the men who were
dragging. Every one of them threw them
selves headlJug into the water, and hurried
IN rsooin the boat Tie swarm followed
them. and in few seconds filled every nook
and Granny of the deck.
DIR. Schweinfurth was sitting quietly in
his rude cabin, arranging his botanical
specimens, when he heard scampering round
the deck, which he at first took to be the
usual frolicing of his people; but as the
noise increased, he called out for an expla-
nation Of the disturbance For an answer
he received only the terrific cry of, Bees
beesi''
Sprinring up, he endeavored TO light his
pipe, hoping to protect himself with smoke,
but il was too late the bees were already
upon him. Thousands surrounded him,
and he was merciies-ly stang all over his
face and hands He endeavored to protect
his face with his handkerchief, but all to no
purpose the more violently he flung his
hands about the more violent became the
impetuosity of the irritated insects. At
length, almost maddcned, he threw himself
into the river, but the stings still rained
down upon his head. lie tried to gain the
mainland, hoping TO find shelter in the
woods. but some of his faithful servants,
knowing that course to be certain death,
forced him back into the boat. Ii r. he
wrapped himself up, in a sheet, which, after
he had crushed the bees inside, afforded him
some protection. lie crouched down in this
way for full three hours, while the buzzing
continued uninterruptedly, and solitary
stings penetrated through the linen cover
ing Every one on the boat pursued the
same course, and gradually the buzzing sub
sided.
At length some courageous fellows crept
stealthily TO the banks ami set fire TO the
reeds. The smoke which rose blinded and
stupefied the bees So that tile boat was sue
cessfully driven beyond their reach. Free
from further apprehension, the sufferers
proceeded to examine their injuries. Some
of the stings were extracted with pincers,
but those which remained produced ulcers,
and even fever, which kept the whole boats
company in an uncomfor table state for sew
eral days.
