-aIt ON Wheat.
1Tr. ". c. Fish. OF Onondago county
y. Y, gives the Country GsltlsmaH the
following report Of his experiments in
sowing salt on spring wheat. Ii Is evi-
dent that his success comes mainly from
the power OF the salt TO attract and re-
tain the moisture ot the atmosphere. He
says /" For over twenty-five years
farming on soil too hot and dry for
spring wheat TO ill wen Tin the usual
manner Of culEvation), It proved very
uncertain crop. Becoming nearly DIS
c0uraged in trying risa it, l b5gan
four wears ago sowing salt. The first
year three busht Is were scattered on the
ground just as the wheat was fairly up
and the ground was dry. Twenty-Five
bushels per acre was the first year 5
yield The second year four bushels OF
salt were sown, and tveuty-nine bushels
ot plump wheat we're raised 10 the acre
The third experiment was four bushels
of salt. and thirty Of wheat TO the acre.
For the past summer IN Onondaga
county the thermometer has marked
eighty degrees and upward for thirty
eight DAYS, fifteen Of which were over
ninety degrees, and it was a scorching
time Tor spring grain. For the first
trial | drilled. on six acres OF corn stub
bic ground, one and three-fourths bush
els Of wheat. and sowed six bushels Of
salt broadcast 10 the acre A strip was
left without any salt, which was very
light On this ground the dew dried of
quicker and the wheat headed out two
days later, with the straw darker COL
ored and badly crinkled down. The
yield this year was twenty-six bushels
per acre.
For woundS.
4 correspondent sends the following:
\ few weeks since as 1 was driving in an
open wagon, my horse took fright and
the bit broke, so / was entirely nj the
mercy Of circumstances. / was thrown
from the wagon, my face severely cut
and scratched aud nv body sadly
bruised. 1 insisted on walking home 50
rs TO keep my blood in vigorous circula-
ton, and not allow NY fall and bruises
to stiffen me. On my arrival at home /
had the glue pot put on the stove, and
after washing my wounds carefully COW
cred them with old linen on which the
glue had been spread All pnin ceased
from the moment Of the application, and
IN an hour from the time Of the accident
/ was ct my work again. The wounds
healed without any scar, and were not
disturbed in any way. As fast as TREY
got well and the linen peeled up 7 cut it
off with scissors. For many years / have
tried the virtue Of glue in slight abra-
sions, but this test Of its value as heal
ing application I thought worth giving
to your readers.
Farm Notes.
Leached ashes seem to be particularly
favorable to OATS They are beneficial
to most any crop, however, and these
effects are permanent in their nature.
