Sailing Land.

Probably the heaviest wholesale sailing of
land is that mentioned in the 1Nlchigun Fdr-
maer, where Mr.. Smith, near Detroit. re-
ceived carload of refuse salt from the salt
works, intending to spread it as an expert
ment upon 100 acres of land, but by mistake
of the hired man, the whole ten tons were ap-
piled to ten acres, or a ton to the acre. Now
for the result: The land was sandy loan,
two feet deep, everything a stiff clay subsoi,
and was thoroughly drained with tiles. The
field on which the salt was spread had re-
Gently been seeded with winter rye and
timothy seed The water from the drains
was so salt during the next few months as to
be unfit for drinking, but in spite of the ap-
plcation, and contrary to the expectations OF
Mr.. Smith and his hired man, both rye and
timothy survived and made full crops, al
though the rye was retarded somewhat in its
growth. Clover seed was sowed and har-
rowcd in, in the spring following, and dur
ing that season and the next very heavy
crops of grass were taken Of-Over three
tons per acre-three and one-half by esti-
mate. The field was also remarkably free
from all descriptions of finsects-neither grub.
wire worm, earth worm or maggot could be
found, and even grasshoppers seemed to have
all been destroyed or repulsed, for none were
to be seen. That serious result did not fol-
low is probably due to the understanding of
the land, which allowed the saturated water
to pass quickly away. We may we'll believe
that the application was death to insect life in
the soil.

Don't Drink.

The short run of players, rifemen, billiard
champions, and men of sporting life gener-
ally, is remarkable feature OF New York
life. Drink is at the bottom of this. Men
who indulge in the cup can't control their
nerves, and men who can't do this 60 to the
wall. The bad shooting of some men, of
whom so much was expected, resulted from
their cup indulgence One of the best marks
men in the city said yesterday that Gin rifle
shooting the variance of a hairs breadth
made the difference at the muzzle of one foot
in 100 yards; and man must have absolute
command Of his nerves. A man who would
win must not steam Dan Mace, when he
was in bis prime on the road, drank only
lemonade. heard him say "A single glass
of whisky affects my nerves. Men who
drink on the road would not trust their valu-
able teams to me if was not, in driving
season, a teetotaleI." When the billiard con.
gress was in session the champion said:
"We can't drink and do anything. We have
to abstain totally from stimulating beverages
while we play; we have season of prepa-
ration. We have to be clear and cool, or we
fail. The reason that so many eminent play
ers pass out of sight is, they will drink.
Then the nerves grow unsteady and the eyes
fail, and all is up with the player; the drink
ing goes deeper and the playing worse"
