SALT AS \ FERTILIZER.

A correspondent writing to the
Country Gentleman, gives his ex-
perience in the use of salt as a fer
tilizer. He states, that where salt
is literally supplied, say two bar
rels per acre to all the land plowed.
and to make that application every
spring, the following results will be
obtained:
1t will keep the land cool and
moist.
II neutralizes drouth.
1t exterminates all soil varmin.
1t prevents potato rot.
1t keeps the ground in such con-
dition that the berry of all kinds of

RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL

A Parisian's Newfoundland dog
was far less malicious than many d
man would have been in similar cir

dog was going mad, hired two boys,
to take him to the river Seine, tie ,l
heavy stone to his neck and throw
him IN to drown. In throwing th1
dog in, one of boys fell into the rivel
and twice sank, when the dog, hay
ing got rid of the stone, rescued the(
boy and carried him safely to the
shore. Don't tell rs en- intelligent
dog like that didn't know what they

THE JACKSON ROAD AND THE
NORTHEASTERN.

The distance from Brookhaven to
Meridian is lis miles. 1t is report
ed that the Chicago, st, Louis and
New Orleans road will build a
branch road from R.ookhayen to
Meridian. The distance from New
Orleans to New York, via that
route, would be 1893 miles. The
distance from New Orleans to Me-
ridlan via the Northeastern Rail-
road, on a direct line crossing the
lake, would be 1876 miles, and to
New York 1885 miles. 1t is claim
ed that the road would have to de-
iiect from a straight line at least
twenty-five miles, or if the trains
cross the lake, several hours time
would be lost by slow running
Hence the actual distance saved will
be about thirty-three miles, by the

SUPERINTENDENT OF THE
NEW CANAL.

Gov. Wilt has appointed Mr..
Thomas Hasam. of New Orleans, as
Superintendent Of the New Canal
and Shell Road. Referring to this
appointment, the New Orleans
Democrat says:
Mr.. Hasam is descendant of the
old Knickerbocker stock, and has
resided in New Orleans since 1926.
He is a shipwright by trade, and is
Justly proud of his high reputation
as a mechanic. His knowledge of
vessels is considerable, as he has
built several steamers, was part
owner in three Try docks, convert
the steamer Ha5ana into a Confed-
crate cruiser fthe Sumpter) and
was engaged in building several
vessels for the Confederate States
when tie Federal feet captured
the city. On the capture of New
Orleans Mr.. Hasam lost his entire
5Drtune, which was invested in ship
yards, cocks, etc. He has since
the war been engaged in the lum-
Der business, and is as active and
vigorous at the age Of sixty three as
most men at forty. The appoint
nent will give general satisfaction,
and could not have been bestowed
npon a more upright OF deserving

says:

more immense when We consider
that it is the first session unde: the

OF course, all who were SO disposed
were expected to get drunk and
things generally-if for
naught else, just to try the Jobism
and sweet amiability of the "bran

benign effect of producing that

The habeas corpus case in the matter
OF j. Sitges, j. d. Alexander and
Al. Perez, committed to the Parish
Prison in New Orleans on Tuesday
by Judge Miltenberger, for selling
lottery tickets in violation of act
No. "A of 1879, came before Judge
Rightor, of the Sixth District Court.
last Wednesday. Col. T. G. Zacha
RE appeared on behalf Of the pris-
.oners. Judge Rightor rendered a
decision making the writ of habeas
corpus peremptory, and ordering
the release of the prisoners. The
court held that there was no such
act as act No. A of 1879 in exist
!ence at present; that it had been
repealed by article 167 of tie con-
stitution, which made lotteries a
general business in which anybody
might engage who conformed to the
provisions OF the constitutional arti-
Gle. The prisoners were according
ly set at liberty.

very important one, and our far

Walton.
Wisdom and economy demand
that our farmers should, in connec,
ton with their other crops, raise at
least enough oats for their own use,
and if their failure to do so is the
result of ignorance or carelessness,
they must expect to suifer loss.
Besides the proper selection OF
seed and soil, they must depart
from the too common practice of
planting one kind of crop on the
same land year after year. Rota-
ton is one Of the great secrets of
success i'll farming.
Another question, which as a gen.
eral thing is not thoroughly under
Stood Is the proper application of
fertilizers. This requires u COM
plete knowledge of the nature of
the soil, as yell as the wants of the
crop. Many successful farmers
have acquired this information by
eyperlence-a very dear school.
All who are doubtful as to the
needs of their soil, might pursue
the following course with advan-
taSe, which IS recommended by the
Country Visitor. Our advice, to
farmers and planters. is to have
samples of the soil taken from diff
ferent portions of their land, noting
carefully the locality from which
each IS taken, and submit them to
a competent chemist for analyza-
ton. 1t will thus.be ascertained of
what chemical ingredient rlere is a
deficiency, and n suitable fertilizer,
one sure in its effect, may then be
applied. The soil is, in one respect,
like the human body; when disease
attacks it, appropriate medicine
must be administered.
We advise those in need of in
formation, and who would like to
witness q practical illustration OF |
the agricultural possibilities ofour
parish, under the influence of in
.elllgent management, to accept the
invitation extended by Mr.. Burns,
md go apd 'see for themselves.

SHEEP HusBANDRY..
THE BEST SHEEP.

/
The best sheep for farmer to keep
are those that yield the heaviest
feeces and the greatest amount OF
meat. The scrub sheep will yield
from three to six pounds of wool
per head, while Melinos will range
from ten to twenty pounds, and
thoroughbred Cotswolds more. Why
is it that all farmers do not raise
the sheep which will give these
heavy feeces?
Then rs to meat, the fine sheep
produce an enormous amount of
flesh, and do not eat more than
scrub. But besides these facts, the
fine sheep 60 nok only yield larger
fleeces per head, but the wool is of
superior quality. The same is true
of the flesh of the fine sheep, in
comparison with the scrubs.
SouthdoWns. for insance, are the
finest mutton in the world, always
commanding an extra price-a flesh
which princes desire-while the
fleece is medium. The Shropshire
downs stand next to Cotswolds in
ileeees. The profit of these breeds
is very great in tines o. ordinary
prosperity, and under all cream
stances it is best for the farmer to
breed them because they pay better
the grand result which is the SUI
preme object of the f,;rmer-the
highest possible remuneration for
his capital and labor.
And all this concerning sheep is
true on fine breeds of eatae. horses,
hogs and POULTRY. In the face of !
these indisputable facts the mass of
people should net handle scrub !;
stock, and entertain an ignorant |
to fine breeds. There is
one supreme reason for this. The !;
mass of people do not read papers |
devoted to live stock interests, and |
are wholly ignorant OF the zast pro-
gress that Is making in the more in !
telligent rank Of farmers. There
are sections where the improved
breeds of stock are almost unknown.
1t is only a small number of men
who are alive to it, and Keep them
selves thoroughly posted in regard to
,he progress of agricultural science
md the breeding of the best animal,
while the masses remain in the old
'uts, following after the customs of
hundred years ago. If farmers

THE DAT CROP.
CHUBBY Hill PLAsrArrqS, |
May II, 1880. !
!. ST. TAMMANY FARMER:

o"o ciop Vi stue parish IS an .entlf
/ failure, caused by :'rust."
The oat crop of the parish, in m,
part at least, where proper car
in planting has been exercised, anc
a good selection Of seed procured
IS as fine rs it has been Tor years.
Mr.. Allison's oats are as high a,
Il mans shoulder, and will yielc
thirty Or thirty-ire bushels pei
acre.
Mr.. Munech's and mine are no
quite as good, owing to tie land OF
which we have them planted being
not rs good rs Mr.. Allison's. But
we will make at least twenty-five
bushels to the acre.
The only instances where the oats
have failed is where the land was
not suitable, or the seed have been
saved from oats that were inclined
to rust last year.
Oats, like any other crop, require
change of seed. Too much plant
ing of the same seed, on the same
land, will cause n failure of any
crop.
My neighbors feel agarieved AZ
the statement that "the crop lie a
failure" and have asked me to write
you this letter, and say that if any
of your readers do not believe our
statement, il they will pay us a
visit, we will not only show them
fine oats, but other fine things in
the crop line.
Your obedient servant,
AIILToN BURNS.
1t affords rs pleasure to record
the facts contained in the above
communication, not only because
they very clearly show that the oat
crop III our parish is "not an entire
failure. as we were informed by IL
gentleman last week, but also on
account OF the valuable suggestions
to be found therein.
The writer of the letter, and also
his neighbors, Messrs. MTunsch and
are too well known in our
parish, as intelligent and successful
planters, to admit of any doubt as
10 the truthfqlness of their asser-
lions, and Mr.. Burns, in HIS COM
nunication, gives q slight insight |
nto the secret of their success,
which is mainly due to a proper
selection of seed, and the exercise
II good Judgment in choosing land
hat is suitable for the purpose.
In order to become successful

10 doubt that many farmers, who

ause of their "bad lnck" to the

An ImprOmptu Boar Hunt.

Chas. Porter, of Charlestown, in this
county. communicates to the Lamberton
Commercial a thrilling account of his
narrow escape from terrible death on
Tuesday of last week. Mr.. Porter had a
very large boar. nearly four years old.
which got out of the pen, and when Mr..
P. attempted to drive him back he turned
upon his pursuer, whcreupon the latter
fled toward the house, but the boar over
took him and struck him on the hip so
that he fell on his back upon the ground.
The hog then made a rush for him, mouth
wide open, his whole nose ana moutn
covered with foam, Mr.. Porter says: IL
never saw so frightful an object in my
life. don't think had doubt in my
mind but what he would kill me. know
the thought came into my mind: Will he
eat me up after he kills me? He went
over me some say without hitting me with
his tusks or stepping on me. When he
made the next onset, kicked at him with
both feet and screamed at the same time.
He jumped back, my wife says, about six
feet. As luck would have it, there was q
little ash tree close by. sprang us high
as could and caught the tree with both
hands, drew up my feet as quick and as
high as could, just escaping a stroke
from the ,oar as did so. He then ran
down to the barn. A man from Window
happened to be coming along with team,
and he made rush for him. He struck
him with whip and then whipped up
the horses at the same time and escaped
without injury. Mr.. Porter and his sons
then went to the barn with weapons, and
one of the latter felled the boar with the
first shot. Mr.. p. received several cuts
on his hand from the tusks of the hog. a
lame side and hip, and sprained ankle.
He says he never wants to face another
mad boar. One of the tusks measured
81 inches in length.
