SALT FOR FIELD CROPS.

On this subject, Prof. VIM. McMur-
trie, of the University of Illinois,
writes the Prairie Farmer in this wise: :
The cause of the beneficial action of
salt upon the soil and vegetation is
doubtful yet there is no question of the
result. We have seen field of wheat
thoroughly yellow in the spring,
change almost at once to a beautiful
green by the application of one or two
bushels of salt per acre. 1t is proba-
BILE that it acts upon the iron COM
pounds of the soil and brings them in
to condition for absorption by vegeta-
tion. Itis almost impossible to state
how much it is safe to apply, but we
should consider that since the above
named quantity proved sufficient to
give beneficial result, it would be USE
less to apply larger quantity. On
the other hand, since definite expert
ments have shown that there is no alb
solute necessity for it in the nutrition
of plants, we should advise, as a
measure of economy, its application
in limited quantity, and only when
the land appears to be infested with
noxious insects, or the vegetation
shows evidence of some special debil-
ity, such as that above described.

One of the principal reasons why
Canadian dairymen turned their at
tention to making cheese, was their
failure to make butter that could be
exported at profit, says the Provis-
ioner. Putting all their cream into
cheese Is, therefore, the principal rea-
son why Canadian cheese. through its
superiority, is rapidly ousting, in for
eign markets, its rival made i'm the
United States.

Montevideo Leader:-Don't imag-
Inc that it is spring and that the cattle
can "rustle" without feed the balance
of the season. The next two months
settles the question of whether your
stock is cdming ont "spring poor" or
otherwise.
Morris tribune., 1886-02-17

Great care should be taken in bed
bing in winter time and in eleaaing
the stables, saps correspondent of
the American Dairyman. Unless ex-
ira pains are taken foul smelling sta
bles will be the result; consequently
the milk will be more or less affected.
! am well satisfied that filthy stables
and filthy habits of milking are the
chief causes of SO much poor butter
being made in winter and spring. /

The Steam Railway Nuisance.
10 the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:

railroad Why Is It that TWO great railway COM
pan1e9 VINO purchase their road bed for thousands
OF miles across the country must receive public
bounty as impecuniouS beggarS the moment they
cross the boundary OF the capital of the nation?
why should any property be giren By the govern
menr 70 corporations whose sole purpose is TO
make money? Why should any streets or avenues
N washington be permanently used for any other
purposes than those for which they were reserved
when the city was laid out? These questions
suggest an easy and speedy solution OF the vexed
question. Let beth companies be required TO
vacate all avenues streets and public reservations
70 purchase their right OF way into the city and
such ground as they may heed for 0epoyS, etc.
and 10 cross all avenues and streets either above
or Deiow their grade. And IL the railway COM

They did not wear high bonnets TO obstruct the

them, though fourteen Of them are alleged 70 have

Sued by His Sons.
Il. p. wKDDRLL CHARGED WITH FRAUD no THE AMOUNT
OF $4,000.

OF $CUO,OOO.
A telegram from Cleveland, Ohio December IL.
says: A suit involving 100000 and possessed OF
some peculiar features was brought In the common
pleas court here to-day. In 1854 H. p Weddell, q
wealthy banker and owner OF the Weddell house
failed for 100000. His sons Lawrence and
Frank, now sue their father and J. n. Webster,
the assignee OF the bankrupt estate, for $Ss3 $50
each, and ask to have that amount included In the
liabilities OF the estate Their story briefly told Is
this: In 1881 H. p. Weddeil, who became imam
cially involved, had certain pieces OF real estate
decided 70 his sons Later he pulled out
or the difficulty and was again reckoned as mill
tDna1re. When the boys became OF age, in 1881,
their father persuaded them to deed the property
hack to him, on the plea OF making a more equal
one part OF the real estate having in
creased In value more than the other. He prom
1Sed to turn over 10 each an amount equal TO half
the value OF the whole property SO transferred.
Before Mr. Weddell fulfilled his promise disaster
again overlook him, and ai his property went into
the hands OF an assignee. The two sons, there
fore, bring suit for $23 10 each, representing
the amount they charge as fraudulently obtained
from them by their father. Assignee Webster
says that ii unmOleSted the estate will pay every
creditor dollar for dollar and leave $500 600 be-
sides. He Indignantly denounces this suit as a
scheme on the part OF the sons to rob their father
In his old age. Weddell some time ago married a
second time, and this marriage being distasteful
to his children caused family rupture.
