Effect Of Salt on Wheat.

In an interesting series Of experiments
recently made on the farm Of the Royal
Agricultural Society of England, the man
urial value of salt was unmstakably indica.
ted An acre of wheat dressed with three
hundred pounds Of common salt yielded
thirty nine bushels Of grain, with a proper
tionate amount of straw, while an adjoining
acre left unmanured, produced only twenty
nine bushels per acre, with the straw i'm
perfectly developed showing an increase of
ten bushels per acre. The entire cost of
the crop IL not stated, but this experiment
shows that the additional ten bushels result
ting from the salt we're produced at cost
of thirty cents each.
In another case piece Of ground inten.
ded for wheat was plowed the preceding fall
and again in May, when it was sowed with
salt, and .afterward plowed twice before
seeding On the 1st and % Of September,
wheat was sowed at the rate of two bushels
tn the acre. The crop when harvested yield
ed according to the estimate of the owner,
Mr.. John Parke, not lrs than forty bush
els of grain to the acre, with luxuriant
growth of straw. From these and many
similar cases the il ference seems to be that
salt is specific for the wheat crop, impart-
ing solidity to the grain and firmness to the
straw

Planting Strawberries in September.

A reader of Scribner living in New Jersey
writes to know if strawberries planted in
the early part of September, will bear crop
of fruit next year. TO this inquiry l would
say, Yes, under the following conditions ;
lst, the soil must be rich, deep and MEL ow;
I'd, the plant must be of this years growth,
with healthy roots, and plenty of them, and
must be transplanted in moist or damp
weather, and if the weather continues dry,
must be watered freely few times, always
in the evening when the sun has gone down;
9rd, the strawberry bed must be mulched
before cold weather sets in, with yard ma
nure, to be left on until Spring. With such
treatment, bed of strawberries may be set
out in September that will yield, mt quite
AS much fruit as if put out in the Spring,
but enough for family use; and the berries
will be, on the average, of larger size than
those of the Spring plauting.-P T. Qai"n,

Corn MEAL FOR SToCK.-We are not
prepared to adopt Mr.. Linus W. Miller's
exclusive meal diet for dairy cows but there
can be no doubt that in The regions W here
the drought has cut off the crops of feed
corn. meal will be found a valuable auxilia-
ry in carrying stock through. Hay is sell
ling in many places at twenty dollars ton
from the field, which indicates thirty or
more as the winter and spring price. NJ can
while corn is quoted Mt fifty to filty-fve
cents in the city, and as delivered in bulk
at the sea-ports for about sixty cents bush
ell. This is but little over twenty dollars a
ton, and is much more profitable for feeding
than hay 1t is very largely used when
hay is under twenty dollars a ton, and the
use should be increased as the price of hay
rises. The reports. of the corn crop in the
prairie states are highly favorable, aud
prices are likely to rule low. Straw, corn
fodder, swalc hay, may all be used to ad.
vantage in preparing cut feed with Indian
meal.

Coon Cows.-The largest recorded yield
of single COW that is well authenticate d is
that Of an animal kept at the Jail at Lewes,
England. In eight consecutive years she
gave 9,720 gallons, an average of more than
! ,2lo gallons year. She was MIXED in
one year 1928 days and gave ,239 gallons,
which made $40 pounds of butter at the
rate of pound OF butter from 20 pounds of
milk. An Ayrshire COW recently yielded
300 pounds of butter after calving-between
March 10, 1868, and Jan. 10th, lS69-be-
sides supplying family with milk and
cream. 1t must be apparent that the pro-
portion of butter will vary, not only with
the breed but with the season of the year.
The milk of the Ayrshire COW ia generally
richer in butter than that OF the Short
Horn but not so rich as that of the Jersey
or the Brittany The best returns Of but
ter are generally got late in the Summer or
early in tho Fall, IN September or October.

A Coon FEED FOR HoRsEs.-A iayorite

coming into use, composed Of two quarts Of
oats, one of barn, aud half pint Of aaxseed.
The oats are first placed in the stsble'buck-
ct, over which is placed tie lnsecd; add
boiling water, then the bran, covering the
mixture with an old rug, aud allowing it to
thus rest fof fve'houts then stir the mass

the yapor, and the linseed binds the oats
and bran together. A greater quantity OF
fiaxseed would make the preparation too

sufficient; it is. easily digestible, and is
specially adapted to young animals, adding
to their volume rather than to their height

Thomas L. Bond, the celebrated alliga-

laying in the latter part of May; they
hatch the latter part Of July and August.
They eat fish, young pigs, dogs-in fact
any animal that comes within reach of
them-negroes and grass, when they can
find nothing else; they commence to eat
as soon as they come out, and eat until
they go into their holes in the fall. The
female lays from eighteen to ninety
eggs, according to the size of the female.
The male lies about the nest, and if he
succeeds in driving the female of, devours
the young rs soon as Matched. The nest
is made in low, swamp ground the mate
rial used is dry grass or dried cane, and
raised about three and half or four feet
high. When it is Of the required height
she gets on top and with her claws makes
hole and deposits her eggs, then covers
over with more of the same material, then
q covering of mud to make it as near water
proof as possible. The first four wears

per year; after that very slow, not more
than from one to two. DR.. Dick says, in
