In Thorough Harmony.

Many of the cannrds concerning the
eoidness existing between Gov. HUI,
of New York, and President Claws
LAM, are being dissipated. 80 far from
there being lack of sympathy between
them, it is beginning toappear that they
are in thorough harmony. In fact, II
seems that Gov. HIT has the warmest
admiration for the President, and his
methods, if we are to judge 10y his own
words.

Fcrtilixing value of salt.

Salt consists of chlorine and sodium
in proportions, viz, one atom of each
combined as chloride of sodium. Both
these substances are contained in all
plants to lesser or greater extent !;
hence salt is valuable food for plants
as far as it supplies these two indis-
pensable elements of plant substance.
But salt has also chemical effect upon
both organic and mineral matter, pro-
ducipg rapid decomposition in both.
Therefore, it has useful effect upon
the soil when used as q fertilizer, in ad-
dition to its contribution as plant food,
for it liberates soluble mineral matter, as
silica, potash and perhaps phosphoric
acid. from the soil. and helps in the de-
cav of manure. The effect is remark
able upon wheat grown upon rich soil,
and which is apt to lodge, through the
weakness Of the straw, by want of suffi-
cient mineral matter; such wheat is
stiffsned and strengthened by release of
silica, potash and lime from the soil,
and the grain is made bright and full.
with clean, clear bran. A similar eff.
feet is produced on grass and clover.
Salt is also especially useful to cabbage
and all root crops; 600 pounds per acre
is used. New York Weekly Times.
