Salt as Manure,

Various experiments have been made
by NJ. Pelligot and others, in Europe,
to test the value of salt MS a manure,
The following summing up seems to
have been arrived at
Salt should never be applied other
than in a pulvercus state, and never
employed ON impervious, cold and hui
mid soils. The best manner to use it is
to, combine it with other manures, a
dose of 200 weight to the acre being
sufficient. When selected to destroy
insects, it should he applied before sun
rise. In the case of cereals, salt
strengthens the stems and causes the
ears to fill better, and favors the disso-
luton and assimilation Of the phos-
pilates and sDlicates. 1t acts vigorously
on the potatoes and can be detected in
their ashes to the extent of one-half of
one per cent.
Asparagus is a veritable glutton in
the presence of salt. A dose of 300
weight per acre acts without fail on
beet, injuring its value for sugar pur-
poses, but enhancing it for the feeding
of cattle. Cola has as marked n predi.
lection for salt as asparagus, and in
Holland, where the culture of peas is
so extensive, salt is something like a ne
cesslty. Mixed with hay in the proper
ton of a quarter of n pound to 100
weight, the fodder is rendered more APP
petizlng but the best way to feed it to
animals is to allow them to enjoy it in
the form of rock salt. 1t is calculated
that a horse appropriates daily one-tenth
an ounce of salt, an OK one-half that
quantity, and a sheep and pig one-half
that required by an OK.

Forest Tree Planting.

In April, 1868, / planted about two
acres OF cottonwood seedlings OF one
years growth they were about eight
cen inches high. The trees were
planted four feet apart each way, which
/ think is about the right distance, as
by close planting We get more growth
in the trunks and less in the lower
branches. / marked the ground one
way and planted across the marks with
a spade, which ! think is the best way.
In this way | got the rows straight
enough to cultivate well both ways,
which is important. My trees were
cultivated two seasons since that, they
have had no more care. They are
now twenty to thirty feet high, and
growing finely. .
In 1869 ! planted some cottonwood
cuttings in the same way, but neglected
to cultivate them the result il they
are not half as large as those n year
older. / have planted trees and cut
tings of different kinds by setting them
in a deep furrow and turning another
furrow against them this does very
well on a hedge-row or for a narrow
belt.
In planting black-walnut, my method
is to bury the nuts in a dry place in
the fall, and plant them about corn
planting time the next spring, four feet
apart each way. Cover two or three
inches deep. Timber planted in this

Value Of Brood Mares.

A paragraph in the March number of
this journal mentioned the fact that +.
Dillon ~ Co., Of Normal, Illinois, had
sold four colts, the produce Of one
brood mare, for $4,000 and We now al.
Iude to it for the purpose of stating
that this is not, by any means, an cX-
ceptional case. On the contrary, it has
been demonstrated over and over again
that it is scarcely possible for the gen
eraI farmer to keep any kind of stock
ON his farm that will prove so uniform
Iy profitable as a good brood mare. In
stances are numerous where a single
brood mare, well and fashionably bred,
ana coupled for a series OF years with
popular sircs, has, by her produce,
made II handsome fortune for her own
er and in almost every neighbOrhood
can be found mares whose produce are
uniformly Of more than an average
value. The prudent, wide.awake farm
er will be ON the lookout for such
mares, and whenever he can purchase
them at reasonable prices he will not
fail to do so. Such an investment can
not fail to be better than money at com
pound interest, if the mares be coupled
with the right sort of stations. Good
horses always find a ready sale at high
prices-the scrubs only are a drug in
the market-and Il colt can be raised as
cheaplv as Il steer. To make horse
breeding profitable, you must start
right. Horses are not sold at so much

Success Based IDon Merit.

1t ia a subject Of general remark, among

the same length OF time, IA DR.. Plerce's Gold

upon Its having been more largely advertised
than any other medicine, az such il not the
case. The correct explanation, we think, il
found in the fact that this medicine produces
the most wonderful and perfect cures of yery
bad cases Of bronchial, throat and lung dis
cases, ia undoubtedly the most perfect and eff
hclent remedy for all kinds of coughs that has
ever been introduced to the public, and at the
sam time Possesses the greatest of blood pu-
rlfylng and siren 'thening properties that
medical science has been able to produce, thus
rendering 1t u sovereign remedy not only in
the cure OF consumption, bronchitis, hoarse-
ness and coughs, but also for all diseases OF
the liver and blood, as sCrofulous diseases,
b%Iotches, rough skin, pimples, black specks
ana dlscoIoratlons. II has, therefore, a wide
range OF application and usefulness, and it
not only gives the most perfect satisfaction to
all who rse it, but far exceeds the expectations
OF the most sanguine, thus e%llciting the loud
est praise, aud making permanent living adj
vertlslng mediums of all who use it. For
these reasons it is that there is not perhaps Il
druggiEt III all the vast domain of this CONT
