Salt OnPOtatOes.

Mr.. Charles j. Edic, of Marcy, Oneida
county, N. Y, informs us that during
the season of 1881 he tried salt on soil
inwhich he planted potatoes. He broad
casted about 200 pounds Of salt to the
acre and narrowed it in, The potatoes
were then planted, and others were
planted alongside in the same field
without salt. The effect was most strjk-
ing. Just as far as the salt extended the
potatoes were smooth. sound, and of
good size. The next rows adjoining,
where the salt did not reach, the pota-
toes were small, wormy and rough. We
may add to the above that we have tried
salt on potatoes without any such effect
as that attributed to its use above.-Rur-

Casselange-Utopia i'm Equatorial
Africa.

It is new discovery, made by Ger
man explorers in equatorial Africa.
Stanley approached, but did not reacf,
it. 1t was supposed to be populated by
tribes of vicious and murderous dwarfs,
whom even the neigtlboring powerful
African kings dreaded. 1t is a vast ter
ritory, and. from the now published
description of it, appears to be a veri-
table Utopia. Two Germans, Pogge, and
Wissmann, have brought it to light from
the heart of the Dark Continent. 1t is
ruled over by al intelligent sovereign,
King katshitsh, and the people, instead
of being piguies, are a tall, we'll built,
handsome race, who excel IN artistic
manufacture Of workmanship of various
kinds, in wood, clay, copper and iron,
in weaving cloth out Of the lnabele plant,
and in basket-making. The country is
we'll tiubered and watered and teens
with natural produce. No foreign in
fiuence has yet touched them, and they
live in Arcadian tranquility and pros
perity. DIR. Pogge saws that the inhabi-
tants of one village, and sometimes oi
several, live as members of one family,
in perfect friendship and peace.
They are excellent farmers, too.
Everywhere the explorers found broad
fields of fine mandioca. millet, maize
beans and earth nuts. Tobacco and
hemp are also raised, but whence came
the tobacco which they smoke invet-
erately? The climate, though warm, is
salubrious. The adjacent kingdoms that
have been open to European exploration
have: dealers in female slaves, ivory,
ostrich feathers, etc, but not Casselange.

of the delectable Utopia, but have moi

He says the crops in that part of Neb-

he has threshed has yielded from 20 to

that Earl Ketchum is training horses

Corn from native seed, will be good

Cisterns and wells in many placesare

their stock, and some sheep get only.

Pastures, SO far as feed is concerned,
are used up. Early cut meadows as
yet supply the necessary amount of
feed required. Some farmers arefeed-
ing hay to stock and many corn fod-
der.
The few fields of corn that estaped
the freeze are progressing to maturity
with the warm days we have had of
late; the drawback, cold nights.
Some farmers have cut their corn,
where frozen; others partially Sd, and
some have not cut any as yet.
With continuance of the drouth

duced butter supply will result
Sugar cane, so far as observed, will
not ripen so as to make syrup being
frozen worse than corn. Buckwheat

the supply ofsthe latter is also cut Off
No doubt more favored localities will

Quite a portion of the frozen corn
will be fed out as fodder, so some farm

hogs to fat, and whose corn is frozen
are badly off, unless, as in some in
stances is the case, they have acrop OF

he has left is to be found in three horses, their
harness and the clothing he and his family
