of loafers, thieves and pernicious little
politicians, they would not sit indo,

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Salt for stock.

Ali the herbivorous domestic animals
are fond of salt; this fact, observed from
remote antiquity, was acknowledged bY
the Greek and Roman farmers, and
Virgil, who, in his Georges, did moth
ing more than to put into immortal
verse the precepts OF the agricuiturists
of Greece, recommended that adult
sheep should each have ten grammes of
salt, Tor 80 grains, or 150-437ths OF an
ounce avolrdupois) III addition to their
regular ration of food. In Europe in
our days, IN countries where salt is Civ
en- to sheep, the average daily allowance
to adult animals is ten grammes per
day. The salt IS generally mixed with
bran, broken grains, or chopped roots,
and served to them IN a Manager Salt
to this amount favors the growth of
sheep, hastens the process of fattening,
and senslbly improves the quality and
quantity of their wool
The just daily ration of salt for adult
horned cattle, observation and expert
ence has shown to be 40 grammes Cor
1,S00 grains, OF about four ounces). For
horses of average weight and size, sew
enty grammes Tor 1,050 grains, or "a 10
ounces), is the daily ration. Salt in
creases the quantity of butter in cows
milk; it accelerates the fattening OF cat
tie destined for the butcher by increas-
ing at the same time their appetite and
the strength of their digestive organs.
Salt added to fodder of the second
quality corrects its faults; it will be
eaten even by high-fed animals, which
would refuse it, were it not lightly salt
ed. Its utility is so clearly recognized
in Switzerland and Germany, that the
fact has taken the form of prOverb
"A pound of salt makes ten pounds of
flesh" This IS not vigorously true :;
salt neither contributes to the main
tenance nor the fattening of cattle and
other herbiyorous domestic animals. 1t
does not act III the manner of food. 1t
serves solely to make animals profit
completely by the nourishing principles
contained in their rations. Taken
III this sense, the German pro
verb Is not an exaggeration. In
the establishments where the daily IA
tons of the animals kept are submitted
To the preparation above indicated, to
render them more digestible and profit
able, they sprinkle a little weak brine
upon the chopped hay and straw and
roots, and lightly salt the mashes and
rye bread served to very heavy horned
cattle and to draught horses. When
economical considerations do not per
nit agriculturists to give to each kind
of domestic animal named above more
than half the ration spoken of, the
useful effect of salt on their health IS
made still more sensible.-H 4. Ysa-

Rotation OfCr0ps.

In order to sustain the fertility OF the
soil, and at the same time to provide
nutritious food for live stock, rotation
of crops is necessary. In new countries,
where land is plenty and the soil rich,
crops of some kinds may be grown for
several years without much decrease in
the agreeable product, but, by degrees,
the repetition Of the same crop begins to
tell on the land. If wheat is grown re
peatedly after wheat, the essential in
gradients for buildingup the plants, and
forming the grain, become exhausted,
weeds and destructive insects increase,
and the necessity of following or grow
ing green crops becomes apparent. In
the improved systems of husbandry,
naked following, or allowing the ground
to remain idle for a year, has been
abandoned and drilled green crops sub
stituted
In looking over the scorched pastures
during a season like the present, it re-
Heves the eye to see field ofrutabagas,
mangolds or beets, like an oasis III the
desert, promising SuStenance to the suf-
fering animals, but such fields are few
and far between. and stock VIII continue
TO suffer for want of nutritious food in the
fail, winter and spring, until the growing
Of green crops become general. 1t has
been asked, How can the grower of / 900
acres of wheat practice rotation? The
answer is that he must do so or exhaust
the soil. 1t is better to adopt mixed
system of husbandry, to grow less wheat,
which scourgeS the soil, and to substi-
tute for it broad-Ieaved plants such rs
clover, turnips, mangolds and beets,
which abstract from the atmosphere a
considerable portion of Neutrality-suspicious..
If wheat crops are grown repeatedly,
without restoring anything that has
been carried away, the agreeable yield
gradually dimmishes, and finally the
soil becomes exhausted. The use of
manureS are to restore the SUil to its fer
tlllty, by returning compensation for
the ingredients that have been carried
away by the crops.
Winter wheat, occupying the ground
from September to July or August, is
favorable TO the growth of weeds, which
become very numerous if the soil has
not been thoroughly cleansed by the
culture of the previous crop. Root
crops afford an excellent opportunity
Tor extirpating weeds, deepening soil.
and enriching it by manure. Wheat
and other cereals require considerable
amount of phosphoric acid, silica and
ammonia. Leguminous crops take up
large proportions Of lime; root crops alb
sorb lime and potash. Thecropsshould
be suited TO the nature Of the soil and
varied With each other, so that while the
greatest amount Of produce is raised off
the ground. still the soil shall not be
exhausted but kept clean, and in good
heart and capable of yielding large
crops of cereals, legumes, roots or
grasses, III systematic rotation.
