Salt on Grain Fields.

In France salt il extensively used on
fields sown to grain. 1t Is known that 1t
kills numerous insects. and 1t is believed
that il improves the quality Of straw and
grain Salt is very cheap in this country.
though it is rarely employed as fertilizer.
A wheat raiser in Minnesota gives his ex-
perience in the use of it in the Country
Gentleman as follows
have sowed salt for several years with
good results. Last year | sowed thirty
tons on six hundred acres of wheat. which
is an average of one hundred pounds to
the acre. The land on which this was
sown was deep, sandy loan. a. the wheat
was spring wheat. sown the first week of
April. / sowed the salt about the first of
June, when the wheat was six to eight
inches high. Among the marked results
was a strong and vigorous growth OF the
plant, causing the wheat to head a week
earlier. The straw stands up straight and
stiff. and does not crinkle down, thereby
enabling US TO cut the last one hundred
acres as clean as the first. The wheat
gives a plump, heavy berry. and yields
from three to five bushels more per acre
than if sowed without salt. and is uni
formly of better grade. last year test
ing sixty-three pounds to the bushel.
When first began to sow salt. left
strips across the field to test the difference.
These strips were very notcea pie all sum-
mer, as the wheat did not grow nearly as
tall and mick as where the salt was sowed
and even alter the wheat was cut could
see difference in the stubble. the strips
being crinkled and of not so bright a
color. The fields. when sowed to clover.
yielded tremendous crops, which show
the benefit OF salt on grass lands. | have
never tried it on oats, but would not raise
a crop of wheat without salt. | purchased
nv salt in Milwaukee and Chicago. 1t is
shipped in bulk, and usually costs from
81 to 50 per ton. delivered.
The mode of sowing salt is very simple.
A box that will hold three bushels is
placed across the hind end of wagon.
The person who sows it is seated with his
back to the driver, and sows it with both
hands over the back end of the wagon, as
it passes over the field, covering a strip
80 feet wide.

Lima Beans in Corn Hills.

For the benefit of many readers or

follows To delay this process the writer
advises the avoidance OF food containing
this calcerous matter. among which bread
is prominent. Moderation in eating is
enjoined; and among the articles recon.
mended are fruit, fish. poultry flesh of
young mutton and beef, because, as before
stated. of their being less heterogeneous.
All well and spring water contains con-
siderable of the earthly salts. and should
therefore be avoided, and cistern water
used in its stead because water is the
most universal solvent known. There
fore, if taken into the system clear of for
eign matter it is to that extent the better
prepared TO dissolve and take up those
earthly salts and convey them out of the
system. The addition of fifteen or twenty
drops of dilute phosphorlc acid to the glass
of water, and drank three times day.
will add to the solublity of these earthly
salts.

OLD AGE.
How Mans Lease of Life may be
heightened.

The possibility of prolonging life has
commanded the serious attention of emf
nent scientists, and the discovery of
some compound or elixir capable of pre-
venting or suspending physical decay, has
been, more than once, confidently pre-
dcted. The practical thing to consider
is, however, the prolongation of life by
proper care of the health. one of the
best means of maintaining which is the
occasiona. use of Ayers Pills. s. C..
