A Fine Fertilizer.

A Prairie Farmer tells of a combina-
ton for fertilizing purposes of lime and
salt. The instruction is to 'fmix one
bushel of salt with two bushels of dry
lime, under cover, and allow the mix
ture to decompose gradually, thus form
ing an intimate chemical union of the
two materials. For this purpose the
mixture should lie at least six weeks be-
lore use, or, still better, two or three
months, tue heap being turned over oc-
casionally. This salt and lime mixture,
when applied at the rate of twenty to
thirty bushels per acre, forms an excel
lent tOp-dressing for crops. 1t acts
powerfully on the vegetable matter OF
soils. Fifty bushels applied to a turnip
field have produced as large q crop as
twenty loads of barn-yard manure. 1t is
also very destructive to insects and grubs
in the soil. Like salt, it attracts mois-
ture from the air, and has been found
useful against drought. Its decomposlng
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
iii similar manner decomposed and
made fine. Sour, wet muck thus treated
and composted with barn-yard manure
constitutes fertilizer almost as valuable
rs the unmxed manure of the barn
yard"

Transcript SAYS: "And be it remem-
bered that this took nothing from the

There is in the following item that

"Capt. Robert f. Stafford and Capt. Jos.
Davis have immense bodies of land liz
closed for pastures, and neither of them
has ever had fence cut or any trouble
with the smaller cattle-owners. They
never fence on any land but their own.
They do not even fence in all that be-
longs to them. When they are inclos-
ing pasture grounds they always leave
a little land ana water OH the outside
