Effect OfSalt Oh Wheat,

In an interesting series of experiments
recently made on the farm of the ROYAL
Agricultural Society of England, the
manurial value of salt was Enthusiastically
indicated. An acre of wheat dressed with
three hundred pounds of common salt
yielded thirty-ni bushels of grain, with
proportionate amount of straw, while
an adjoining acre, left unmanured, pro-
duccd only twenty mine bushels per acre,
with the straw imperfectly developed,
showing an increase of ten bushels per
acre. The entire cost of the crop is not
stated, but this experiment shows that
the additional ten bushels resulting from
the salt were produced at cost of thirty
cents each.
In another case piece Of ground in
tended for wheat was plowed the prece-
ding fall, and again in May, when in was
sowed with salt, and afterward plowed
twice before seeding. On the 1st and I'd
Of September, wheat was sowed at the
rate of two bushels to the acre. The crop
when harvested yielded according to the
estimate of the owner, Mr.. John Parke,
not less than forty bushels of grain to
the acre, with a luxuriant growth of
straw. From these and many similar
cases the inference seems to be that salt
is specific for the wheat crop, impart.
ing solidity to the grain and firmncss to
the straw.

How TO MAKE VIENNA BREAD.-As
many of our readers were so delighted at
the Centennial by the excellent bread bak-
ed in the Vienna Bakery, they may also
be interested in knowing how TINT supe-
rior bread is baked. Tho following is the
recipe: Sift in tin pan four pounds OF
flour, bank it up against the sides, pour
in one quart of milk and water, and mix
into it flour enough to form a thin batter;
then quickly and lightly add one pint Of
milk, in which is dissolved one ounce Of
salt and one and three. quarter ounces of
Gaff and Fleischmann's compressed yeast
leave the remainder of the flour against
the sides of the pan; cover the pan with
a cloth and set it in place free from draft
for three-q quarters of an hour then mix in
the rest of the flour until the dough will
leave the bottom and sides of the pan, and
let it stand two and a half hours. Finally
divide the mass into one pound pieces, to
be cut in turn into twelve parts each.--
This gives square pieces about three and
half inches thick, each corner of which
| is taken up and folded over to the centre,
and then the cakes are turned over on u
dough- board to rise for half an hour, when
they are put into hot oven that bakes
| them in ten minutes.

than any other particular class of people
We are willing to pay tax when equally
distributed but it is unjust to tax one class
so much heavier than the others. Besides
this objection, there is also another one.
Even if it were just and right for one class
of persons to pay this debt, it would not
be just that part of them should pay it
all, while the rest were exempt from any.
The result will soon be seen and felt
throughout the county. Teachers who
have educated themselves for the purpose
OF teaching, cannot afford to teach for so
small a sum. In the short space of two or
three years, at the present salary, q good
teacher will scarcely be found in the county,;
for good teachers can always command
good salaries, and they will go where they
can get them. But there is class of teach
ers who have not much to do or do not
care to do much, who will obliged them
selves to go through the motions of teach
ing. The community in which they teach
soon wants change of teachers; they soon
become dissatisfied with that kind of Ia
Dor.
1t has been one of the greatest drawbacks
in Hartford county that the salary was not
large enough to justify the proper prepa-
ration. AS soon as teachers get up to
good standard, they are compelled to go
where they can get fair salary. There are
many lady teachers in our schools at pres
ent; more than gentlemen. This is one
reason why the schools are still kept open.
They can afford to teach for smaller sala-
ry than men, because they have fewer fields
in which to labor. There is no reason why
they should not be paid as we'll as the male
teachers. They accept what is offered
simply because it is employment, and they
have no other. Let the principle be equal
wages for equal labor, regardless of sex"
What we wish to do is to encourage the
lady teachers to demand their rights as
we'll as the gentlemen. The public are de-
handing that the teachers profession be
placed en- better foundation. If we want
skilled labor, we must pay for it. We can
not employ an expert in any profession
without paying the highest prices. Ifthere
is any profession in which we need the ex-
pert, it is the teachers chair If there is
which is worth doing well, it is
teaching; for the teacher not only imparts
knowledge to the child, but IN a great
measure moulds its character and lays the
foundation on which the future structure of
the man or woman is to be reared. Will the
people suffer the best teachers to leave and
go abroad for want of proper support
And can they think ofhaving their children
by class of teachers who use the
teachers chair as stepping stone These
questions are of vital importance. Let us
consider them well.

A New Source of Fuel in WOOdless Re.
giOnS.


The invention of Hay Twisters within
the last few months and the dissemina-
tion of information concerning the yalue
OF nay as an article of fuel has put most
cheerful aspect on life on the prairie
both in summer and winter. No one doubts
but hay will make q cheap and pleasant
hre Tor summer use, and none who have
ever used it in winter doubt its utility
and comfort for winter use. Hundreds of
families have used it the whole year around
ana Sill continue to use it, speaking very
highly OF it as common every day article
of fuel. 1t may be that some of our citi.
zens, In this favored land where wood ia
plenty and coal within convenient distance
are unaware of the great use made of hay
Tor fuel. The salt works at Lincoln, Ne
Dfaska, use hay for fuel altogether for
the manufacture of salt, and prefer it to
elther wood or coal, saying it is both
better and cheaper. A steam mill al
Worthlngton, Mimi, is also using hay
for fuel in running the mill, and thousands
OF private families will use it during tho
coming winter as their only fuel The
orders received Tor m chimes from all
sections by James s. Foster, of this place
for his "Champion Hay Twister." attests
the great interest manifested in the subject
OF hay fuel by the residents of the thiply
wooded sections of the Northwest. Or
ders for machines we understand have been
received from Minnesota, iowa, Nebraska,
and Kansas as well as Dakota, and yester-
day one came from the far-off land Of Man
itoba. The success of the first machine
offered to the public has instignated 9th
ers to make machines differing slightly
from the original machine. The Champion
Hay Twister is sold at the low sum of s.

Younger in the iugular vein, and with the

aim and shot Lull through the lung, and

And laid it by with care;

In napkin fine and fair;

''For one like me to wear"
SO never at morn or evening

In the perfumed dusk alone,
Its wonderful broidery hidden
Till many day had gone.
There were guests who came to my portal
There were friends who sat with me,
And clad in the soberest raiment

Though its splendors none might see.
There were poor who stood at my portal,

And the raiment for daily wear

And fold on fold held it up

Alas the glory had persisted
While there in its place it lay.

Charcoal for Sick Animals,

Nearly all sick animals become SO by
improper feeding in the first place.
Nine cases out of ten the digestion is
wrong Charcoal is the most efficient
and rapid corrective. 1t will cure
majority of cases, Improperly administered.
An example of its uses. The hired man
came in with the intelligence that one Of
the finest cows was very sick, and kiud
neighbor proposed the usual drugs and
poisons The owner being i'll and unable
to examine the COW, concluded that thu
trouble came from overeating, and ordered
teaspoonful ofpulverized charcoal to be
given in water. 1t was mixed, placed in
junk bottle, the head turned upward, and
the water turned downward. In five min.
utes improvement was visible, and in "a
few hours the animal was in the pasture
quietly gazing. Another instance of equal
success occurred with young heifer which
had become badly bloated by eating green
apples after hard wind. The bloat was
SO severe that the sides were MS hard as II
barrel. The old remedy saleratus, was
tried for correcting the acidity. But the
attempt to put it down always caused
coughing, and it did little good. Half a
teacupful of fresh powdered charcoal was
given. In six hours ali appearances Of
the bloat had gone, and the heifer was
well,

Teachers Salaries,

Mr.. EDITOR: noticed in your paper
of November 10th on article concerning
the the late reduction of teachers salaries.
1t is evident to every intelligent person
that the teachers salaries were small enough
before. They should be paid as well as
any other class of laborcrs. Almost any
day laborer can get larger salary per
month than the majority of the teachers
are receiving This fact alone is sufficient
to draw from the teachers profession all
the most energetic teachers, and cause them
to turn their attention to more lucrative
employment. The county is in debt, it is
true; but did the teachers bring it into
that condition They did not, neither
have they any more right to pay the debt

weather of the fall, winter and spring,
dough compounded as follows, fed one
day and then intermitted for two days, to
produce excellent results: "To three gal
Ions of boiling water add one-half an
ounce of common salt, teaspoonful of
cayenne pepper and four ounces of lard

while yet boiling hot, stir in q meal made
Of oats and corn ground together in equal

Before feeding, taste to see that you have
an overdose neither of salt nor pepper, and
to prevent the hens being imposed upon
with a mixture not fit to be eaten, nor so
hot with pepper that you could not swal-
low it.
