Salt as a Fertilizer.

The following letter from s. J..
Murphy, of Detroit, widely known in
connection with his large numbering
interests, was received in reply to one
asking for his experience in using salt.
1t was published in the Michigan Farm
er. He says:
''In the spring of 1878, / broke up a
field on my Gold Creek Farm, near
Vassar. CTuscola County. Michigan, }
of "a acres; the soil was light sand of
the poorest kind, having been heavily
timbered with pine, it had laid for
eight years and was considered utterly
barren. / seeded with oats and clover
seed, and top-dressed the field as the
oats were coming through with 81 bush
ell of refuse salt TO the acre. The re-
suit was simply astonishing. had
as fine a growth of straw as ever saw
and on threst ing the crop had twelve
hundred bushels of oats, weighing 40
pounds to the bushel. Notwithstand-
ing the growth of oats, the clover took
well, and / have as fms field of clover
az you will see any where; the sorrel
is almost gone.
Since than i have used another car
load and find the same beneficial re-
suits wherever have used it. | shall
continue to use salt as long as keen
the farm, considering it the cheapest
fertilizer there is in the market.
1 may say that was led to the ex
pertinent by reading an article in the
EdfnbuTg Scotsman, that a farmer in
that country had written after using
salt as manure. think that nv ex-
pertinent was more profitable than his
on the same kind of soil. Not being a
scientific farmer, cannot explain the
cause of the action of the salt on the
soil and the crops to increase the pro-
duction, yet this much do know
scientifically, that its use put money
in my pocket, and converts barren in
to fertile SOIL"

In blowing under green crops it
should be done while the crop is yet
green and full of sap, generally before
it has attained full growth. At this
time the plant is full of sap and water,
and very rapidly decays and enriches
the soil, while if it is not plowed under
until the plant becomes matured it
will have a tendency to cure and turn
into straw, and it will consequently
take it long while to sufficiently de-
cay to become fertilizer and be in
condition to be taken up by the soil.
Besides this much of the fertilizing
qualities of the crop has evaporated
and passed off through the air and is
os''soO~fe0sse.y ~ssO-s>>ss.--s~0s.s0ns-
Der this, as allowing these green crops
to become too old and ripe to be most
beneficial, is a common mistake

The lowest salary paid to postmas-
ter is that received by the postmaster at
Nechabo, Miss, who in 1888 drew IL
cents from the government, having
sold during the year three postal wrap
pers, two Scent stamps, and three post
al cards. The postmaster's salary so
so far this year amounts to SO cents and
free copy of the Post Office Bulletin.
He still holds the office, but the con-
gressmen from the district says he is an
offensive partisan, and in the interest
of economy and reform he must be
turned out and the place given to
one who is in thorough sympathy with
the reform policy of the adlninistra-
ton.

A correspondent Of the Country
Gentleman" finds efficacy In the liberal
use of salt as a fertilizer, and thus epito-
mixes his results:
My experience in the use of salt leads
me to the following conclusions:
II keeps the land cool and moist.
II neutralizes drouth.
1t exterminates all soil vermin.
1t prevents potato rot.
1t glazes and stiffens straws, prevent.
ing crinkling and rust.
1t keeps the ground in such con
lition that the berry of all kinds OF
rain fills plumply, however long-con-
inued the hot and dry weather may

Experience with Millst.

A correspondent of the &ockma'l
and Farmer, writes that paper as fol.
lows: Seeing inquiries in the Stock
man in regard to millet, will give my
experience. Last year l sowed about
four acres of the golden millet, and
had as much feed from 1t as from any
twelve acres of my meadow. 1t yield
ed seed at the rate of from thirty to
thirty-fve bushels per acre. consid-
er it good feed for horses and cattle,
and especially for milch cows. II
should be sowed on light, mellow soil
as it will not do well on heavy, clay
land. i would advise every farmer
who has soil suitable to SOW few
acres for feed"

The sun shines to-day on united
and happy country. How different
from that of twenty years ago. No war
or serious dissension. Neither slavery
nor discomfort. One nation and one
people with one united interest. Yet
we have the remembrance of war, a
terrific bloody war, which desolated the
land, destroyed homes, brought mourn
Ing and tears to every heart. To-day
we remember those who fell and place
beautiful flowers on the graves of pat
riots. They planted good seed and
watered it with their blood, and thro'
them the entire united country is enjoy
ing happy golden harvest. Bless
their memory. Bay city Tribune.

1t has been reported that some
D~sn~,s-~t- i.ss~-f-It Si;-,y~.-t~-a i,~,Y.~-..,~
the new Democratic secretary of war
refused to allow n Grand Army post to
borrow n United States cannon from
Fort Mackinac with which to fire sa-
lutes on Decoration day over the
graves Of Union soldiers. Republican
secretaries of war have cordially re-
sponded TO similar applications; but
the Democratic secretary says that it
is using public property for private
purpose, and he intends to reform"
this sort of thing. Democrats ought
not to feel Disguised too soon. AL
though the Democratic secretary of
war thinks that public meetings to hon
or the memories of dead Union soldiers
are private purposes, he may yet make
himself solid by lending cannon to fire
salutes over the graves of confederate
soldiers. Wait and give him a chance.
Perhaps Jeff. Davis may die, and the
flag be ordered to be displayed at half
mast, draped in mourning. The flag is
public property, and so using it might
be thought by some to be private
purposes" but this has already been
done for one dead rebel; and why
not for others4 -Det. Post.

equally easy to prohibit the introduc-

debase labor, it ought to be equally
easy to prohibit the assisted immigra-

Beans as a Farm Crop.

II should think" said the Doctor,
that the farmers on the new, cheap
land OF the Northwest would go into
the raising of beans on a large scale. -
when l was in Minnesota and Da-
kota last fall" said j, ''the same
idea struck me. The soil and the eli
mate are favorable. But possibly
there would be difficulty in procur-
ing the necessary labor to pull the
beans. IF they should grow the crop
on large scale" said the Doctor,
they WOULD very soon have a ma
chine to pull the beans, or, thrash
them where they stand. We ought to
raise beans enough to supply the
world. AS matters now are, beans
are grown on a comparatively circum-
scribed area, and any trivial case may
greatly enhance prices, and thus effect
ually stop the foreign demand. Some
years, beans are down to dollar q
bushel, and then up to three dollars
per bushel. OF course, such extrem:
fluctuations seriously interfere with
foreign trade. But let the Northwest
take hold of the matter, and we should
have large area to draw from, and
steadier prices and a large trade would
be the result. Beans are the most
nutritious of all vegetables. They
will keep from year to year. They do
ot-r~~l--s-i--ai--u- i..s~,-- sas,..s,--s ,,.S-
wheat, and moreover can be easily
any distances. Let us have
more beans-espccially for export. y
