Salt for Wheat Fields.

Salt is used as a fertilizer, and usually
with beneficial effect on crops. 1t is
known, however, that a too liberal ap-
pication of it will destroy vegetation. 1t
is applied sometimes on the growing
crop in spring, but usually on the field
and worked into the soil previous to
seeding. A much larger quantity may
be used when worked into the soil than
when applied directly to the crop; 800 or
400 pounds per acre may be sown broad
cast on the crop, though one barrel of
28O pounds is about the usual quantity
used, and three or four times that guam
tity may be worked into the soil with
safety. Used in this way it is beneficial
in destroying insects and worms in the
soil, as well as to promote growth and
early maturity of the crop. 1t is not
claimed that salt is a direct fertilizer, for
sodium is not found to be an element of
plant food to any great extent in the
cereal crops, but a mechanical effect is
somehow produced which is beneficial to
vegetation to limited extent. Last sea-
son one of my neighbors used over four
tons of salt on thirty acres of wheat land,
worked into the soil before seeding, for
which he thinks the crop was much i'm
proved; the yield was over thirty bushels
per acre of superior quality Of wheat.
The straw of grain when treated with
salt is usually brighter and cleaner of
rust or fungi than elsewhere, which
would seem to show q more healthy con-
dition of the plant.-E. p Root

Horses which, escaping now and then
from the paddocks of colonists on the
edge of the settled districts Of Australia,
have made themselves q home in the
freedom and abundant pastures of the
interior, have multiplied to such an ex-
tent that, Notwithstanding the numbers
captured or shot every year, it is esti-
mated that there are something like
100, 900 of them in the two most popu-
lous colonies-Victoria and New South
Wales-or roaming the plains immedi-
ately contiguous to their borders. To
Europeans the proposal to have days
horse-shooting sounds inexpressibly
barbarous; but the Australian farmers
near the interior regard the troops of
wild horses which may often be seen
trespassing on their inclosed lands as
vermin. They do not possess any of the
qualities which often make the wild
horses of the South American plains
valuable, and, beside destroying veget-
alton which might be made to support
more valuable life, they not infrequeHtly
tempt the settlers horses to join them
and adopt vagabond life. Worse than
this, they are suspected of communicate
ing disease to settled districts. To meet
the difficulty of dealing with the increas-
ing hordes of wild horses the Chief In
spector of Stock in New South Wales
proposes that they should be classed as
noxious animals, under the Pastures and
Stock Protection act.-1He Colonies and

Care Of the Teeth.

DR.. George w. Brush, in the annals
of anatomy and Surgery, gives some ex.
cellent hints with regard to the proven
ton of disease to the teeth. Heremarks:
Observations, extending over the last
twelve years have taught me that many
cases of facial neuralgia may be traced
to the mouth and teeth, neglect of these
or unskilled operations upon them being
the primary cause. The family ply
stefan is supposed to be interested in all
matters which pertain to the welfare and
functions of the different organs of the
body, and will be called upon to advise
in this as well as in other cases, and
should not underrate the importance of
giving careful and explicit directions in
order to obtain for his patients the high
est of all considerations in medicine or
surgery-that of prevention of disease.
In the mouth this may be done: First, by
cleanliness; second, by preventing over
source of decay and consequent trouble
and expense of filling or plugging. It
is better to sacrifice one or two sound
teeth at the right time, to relieve this
condition of things, than that they should
remain and jeopardize the whole set.
Third, early attention to any cavities
which may require filling, instead of
waiting until the cavities have assumed
such proportions as to render the opera
ton extremely painful and the result
somewhat doubtful. Frequentexamina-
tions should be made-at least once in
six months especially from the sixth
year, the time of the eruption of the first
permanent molars, until adult life, and
any imperfections remedied as far as
possible. 1t is too often the custom to
wait until some note of warning is
sounded, in the shape of a sleepless night,
before consultation is had upon the sub
ject, and then what might have been
simple thing has become formidable
one; and, if the patient is a child, a
dread is established which it is not easy
to overcome, and thus other teeth are
neglected and lost. 1t is safe to say
that over one-half of the troubles and
suffering which children endure, even
with their deciduous teeth, might be
avoided by promptly filling with some
form of plastic material. 1t is COM
mon impression that once the nerve of
a tooth is dead, that tooth cannot trouble
any more; that this is an error has been
before stated in effect. 1t is then that
alveolar assesses begin.

A Profitable Hunting Venture.

j. F. Rogers, a farmer near this city,
engaged four years ago for period Of
six weeks in the novel pursuit of hunt
ing opossum and other small varmints
then plentiful in this vicinity. This pur-
of sport and profit, and, Notwithstanding
he was constantly laughed at by his
friends, he boldly declared his intention
to make the proceeds of that six weeks
opossum hunt net him $1,000 in less
than ten years. Now for the result.
The meat and pelts of that hunt were
carefully sold, and when brought to-
gether aggregated $50. This amount
was invested in twelve calves, winch, al
the end Of two years, were sold and rein.
vested in one hundred calves, which now.
at the end of four years from the first in.
vestment, are held at $40 each, making
q net value of $4,0O0.-Rlot POM

Trimming Trees.

There are frequently pleasant days in
January that the weather is not too cold
for the fruit grower to work in his
orchard comfortably. As this is usually
a season of leisure, when such days come
they should be improved by looking over
the orchard, and cutting off such limbs
as may be thought necessary for the i'm
provement of the orchard. Limbs cut
off at this season of the year, when the
sap is comparatively at rest, leave a
wound that can be more easily protected
from the action of the weather, than if
cut few months hence, when the sap is
in motion.
To trim tree just right, requires good
judgment, a good eye and some expert
ence, as well as good tools. The saw
should not b. only sharp but perfectly
straight, and set wide enough to run
easy; the knife and the ak should also
be sharp. To trim trees with poor tools
is not only very disagreeable work, but
it is impossible to do the work well.
Some make mistake in trimming
trees by trimming too much in the mid.
die, cutting out not only large limbs but
also all of the fruit-bearing spurs, leaving
but small amount of bearing wood at the
end of each limb. While it is desirable
to cut out all limbs that cross the other
limbs and to keep the inside of the tree
so that the fruit can be easily gathered,
there is point beyond which it is not
judicious to 60, as some of the best fruit
frequently grows in the center of the
tree; this is especially true of some vari-
cites of apples.
There are some pear trees that grow
too high, and need to have their tops cut
off to make them grow more stocky.
The peach tree not only needs to be cut
off at the top but to be headed in on all
sides.
In trimming small trees one thing
should never be lost sight of; that is,
that the trunks should never be exposed
to the hot sun; if the top does not spread
enough to shape it, few inches of the
lateral branches should be left to furnish
leaves for shade. Where large limbs are
cut off the wound should be covered with
gum shellac dissolved in alcohol, or white
lead mixed with a very little oil.--Mas-
sachusetts Ploughnaan.
