HOW Is SALT BENEFICIAL AS A
MANUREl

Since soda, If essential in plant q o with
is only required in small amounts,
and chlorine, though essential for
most plants, is still required in only
small amounts. and common salt is
found i'm minute quantity in most
soda, chemists have asked why salt
should be of any benefit as n manure,
and from theoretical grounds have
been disposed TO deny that salt has
any value as n manure. Yet practi-
cal farmers, not having the fear of
science before their eyes, have pointed
to the increased crops, and asked +,
chow is thatl"
There can DO no conflict between
practice and science, because science
is the classified explanation of prac-
tice have said enough to show
that it is not enough TO cause the re-
lection of substance as manure to
say that it il not essential" to plant
growth.
Let us see what explanation can be
made of the use of salt in agriculture
beyond the small amount required for
the ash element.
Prof. May showed that solution of
salt would render soluble the ammo
MIA which had entered into insoluble
condition in the soil.
Prof Atwater in the com. report for
| 1873, says: Something has been said
about the use of ordinary salt as "A fer
tilizer. Ono important Office of the

quently usefNl in the plant, the nateri-
ais already 10 ked up, as it were, in
the soil. Supposing you have been
putting on. barn yard manure and 9th
er fertilizers. Some of the nutritive
materials, as for instance potash and
phosphoric acid, may perhaps have
been taken up by the soil, and remain
there i'm difficult soluble condition.
| Furthermore there are in the soil some
of these ingredients that were in the
original rock of which the soil is made
up, and are still so TO say, locked up,
o.. in 9th words, still remain in
an insoluble form therein. One eff
feet on salt. as is the case oetentimes
with gypsHm and lime, is to set loose
that potash as posphoric acid. You
must expect. therefore, IN putting on
salt, that it, CHIEF use will b., not as Il
lirrct nuY:rinent 70 the plant, but
ratAer as a means of setting other ma
terials loose; and salt Is very useful on
this account. because II iS not READILY

soil, hut often teaches through into
the layers; and il wili'hav the effect
of setting these materials free all the

SALT on WHEAT.

A Canada paper says: "In an inter
esting series of experiments recently
made on the farNi of the Royal Agri-
cultural Society of England, the ma
nure value of salt was Enthusiastically
indicated. An acre of wheat dressed
with 300 pounds of common salt,
yielded 80 bushels of grain, with its
proportionate amount of straw, while
an,adjoining acre left unmanured, pro
duced only 30 bushels rer acre, with
the straw imperfectly developed. The
entire cost OF the crop is not stated.
but this experiment shows an addition
al ten bushels resulting from the salt
were produced at the cost of 30 cents
each In another case a piece OF
ground intended for wheat was plow-
ed the preceding fall and again in
| May, when il was sowed with salt and
afterwards plowed before seeding. On
the fst and 2d of September wheat
was sown mt the rate of two bushels to
the acre. The crop, when harvested
yielded according TO the estimate oi
the owner, Mr. John Park, not less
than 40 bushels TO the acre, with O
luxurious growth OF straw. From
these and many similar cases, the in
ferencs seems to be that salt Is a spe
cific for the wheat crop, impartinI
solidity to the grain and firmness T.
the straw But il must be concluded
that equally good results will alway
follow the application of salt"

A NEW AND NEAT TRICK-A stylish
looking young man, with a light spring
overcoat carried jauntily on his arm, a sill
ver-headed cane and blonde moustache,
was shown to seat beside lady in fash
ionable church. Upon rising during the
service, the young lady heard dime drop
on the floor.
Apparently it came from the folds of her
dress, and, as the young mans head was
averted, she was obliged to pick it up her.
self She took out her purse, placed the
money in it, and returned it toa pocket in
the skirt Of her dress. A few minutes later
the young man with apology in his move
ments, left the church. When the collection
plate came, the young lady discovered that
her pocket hook was gone. In it was $50
bill, some loose change and several horse
car tickets.
''Thats new trick" said a detective,
"that the pickpockets have resorted to for
the purpose of finding out where woman
keeps her pocket book, and the ten-cent
dod ge will catch good many"
