Salt and Lime.

The following is recommended as an
excellent combination for fertilizing pur
poses: Mix one bushel of salt with two
bushels of dry lime, under cover, and
allow the mixture to decompose grad
ually, thus forming an intimate chemical
union of the two materials. For this
purpose the mixture should lie at least six
weeks before use, or, still better, two or
three months, the heap being turned
over occasionally. This salt and lime
mixture, when applied at the rate of
twenty to thirty bushels per acre, forms
an excellent top dressing for crops. 1t
acts powerfully on the vegetable matter
of soils Fifty bushels applied to a
turnip-field have produced as large a
crop as twenty loads of barnyard ma
nure. 1t is also very destructive to in
sects and grubsin the soil. Like salt, it
attracts moisture from the air, and has
been found useful against drouth- Its
decomposing power is remarkable, and
if three or four bushels of it are mixed
with cord of swamp muck the latter
will soon be reduced to powder. Coarse
manure is in similar manner decom-
posed and made fine. Sour, wet muck
thus treated and composted with barn
ward manure constitutes a fertilizer al
most as valuable as the unmixed manure
of the barnyard. -PrGt-ie Farmer

Following a STREAK of Wind.


A tributor of Ruby Hill was asked
how his pitch" looked, when he made
the following curious remark i am
following a streak of wind. Strange as
this may appear (the remark, not the
wind), yet it is true. 1t appears that in
sinking upon his piece of ground he
came upon a crack in the rock about
three inches in width, from which issues
considerable air. Where it comes from
and what the miner may strike in fol-
lowing this strange lead must for the
time remain a mystery" The miner
was right in following his "streak of
wind. He doubtless understands that
this streak of air breathed out of the
depths is liable to lead him to a cave,
and he also knows that cave is liable 10
contain an amount of ore that would
make his fortune. Among the old lead
mines of Galena, Illinois, a ''streak OF
wind, or "breathing crevice," was al
ways considered first class indication.
When a miner found that he was pretty
sure of finding a cave filed with lead
ore. The lead mines of Galena are In a

same as the formation about Eureka.

Cooked Feed for Hogs.


We have steadily contended that any
farmer could make his corn go twice a
far in feeding hogs by cooking it before
feeding. as to deal it out in the ear in the
old peil-mell way OF feeding raw in the
ear. sometimes throwing it in the mud
and sometimes feeding on dirty floor.
Up to the present time we only have ex-
periments made on a very limited scale
in this matter. but these have all thus
far fully justified the opinion we have
repeatedly expressed, that boiled corn
can be made TO 90 twice rs far in feeding
hogs as dry whole corn viii 90, and the
feeding power of given amount of corn
can be doubled with vast deal less
labor than would be required to raise
double or two crops of corn. Like any
other business, it viii, of course. require
proper fixtures for grinding and boiling
the corn for feeding hogs on full scale
in this way. As to the experiments that
have been made in this matter one of our
exchanges says:
"a long series of experiments made
by u farmer who found pork-making the
most profitable part of farming, and
who submitted everything to weigh
ing and measuring, proved that the
value of corn was doubled by grinding
and scalding. Ninety pounds of hot
water were poured on sixteen pounds of
meal, in acovered tub, where it stood from
twelve to eighteen hours, according to the
weather. He found meal mixed with
boiling water decidedly better than when
mixed with cold water 1t never re-
quired more than i've pounds of meal to
make a pound of pork. His long-con-
tinued experiments, conducted with
careful weighing, gave the value of corn
in the ear az siXty-two cents, dry meal
eightv-seven cents, and cooked meal
SLIP. Anotherexperiment found that
it required little less than four pounds
of cooked meal to make a pound OF
pork. and about seven pounds in the ear.
Still another experimenter found that
pork made from whole corn cost twenty
two cents a pound, while that from
cooked meal was only four and half
cents a pound. Several years ago Sam
uel H CLAY, of Kentucky, found by
series of experiments, that one bushel OF
dry, unground corn made five pounds
ten ounces of live pork; while one bushel
of whole corn, boiled, made fourteen
pounds seven ounces.
Experiments like these ought certainly
to set farmers 10 thinking seriously about
getting up the fixtures necessary for
grinding aud feeding all the corn they
may have to feed to their hogs, when ten
acres of corn can by this kind of process
be made to go as far in feeding as a crop
of twenty acres will so when fed in lhe
old way Care, of course, should t9

self with hogs OF the best breeds that AZ

and such as are known to possess the

Veterinary surgery is looked upon
with much more favor than was the case
thirty or forty years ago. There are
now many more veterinary surgeons who
have passed a regular medical college

prescribe for sick horses or cattle is not
considered beneath the dignity OF regu-
lar NJ. d. As animals have not usually
been drugged or dosed with stimulants
they respond more readily to simple
remedies than IS the case with most

frmed that opinion.
The Breeder's journal says that the

them as calves, shows them in the calf

Our Foreign and Domestic Trade.

The total export trade of the United
States has never yet reached one tbous-
and millions of dollars. In 1881 it was
only some seven hundred and fifty mil
lions of dollars, but in the two previous
years our total exports were over eight
hundred millions per annum. Vast as
these figures appear to be they seem
small when compared with the returns
of our domestic commerce. The bust
ness of our railroads. lakes, rivers and
canals foots up some thirty-five thousand
millions of dollars annually; that is to
say, for every dollar engaged in the for
eign tradesof the country there are from
thirty-five to forty employedin our inter-
state commerce. This coming year we
will probably kip abroad nearly three
hundred millions of breadstuffs. and
about the same amount of cotton; but we
shall send abroad less beef md pork than
we have done for the last two wears It
is estimated that we shall have crop of
five hundred and seventy million bushels
of wheat, of which something more than
half will be consumed in the country;
but our corn crop, while it will exceed
that of last year, will not be equal to the
crops of 1879 and 1880. DemoreSfs

we do that is TO fasten block to post

ends of the rope together to make an
endless rope of it. If you fasten to it
anything you want to send below the
weight of the load takes it down. | had
tied the last plank TO the rope and was
going down. | wore a handkerchief tied
loosely about my throat. The wind blew

handkerchief and then my beard passing
