In a recent work by Professor Burg
graeve, or6nYnt, the prominent theory
maintained is that salt Is the great reg
ulating agent of life. and on the use o.
which human longevity largely de-
ponds. Among the interesting facts
recited by Professor Il. is that about
the end Of the last century a terrible ep-
idemic, bearing some analogy to scurvy,
broke out In Saxony. making such
rapid progress among the poorer classes
that the Government ordered an in
quiry into its nature and course. The
result was the establishment Of a sing
ular fact, viz, that miners, although
reduced to the same misery as other
workmen, remained with their families
completely exempt from the maiady,
The diet of the miners differed from
the others only in mi point, viz, that
being employed by the State they we're
supplied with salt gratuitously. Salt
was then prescribed as q curative meas
use. and the epidemic disappeared.

POTATOES UNDER MULCH.-At the
Colorado state agricultural college,
where potatoes have been grown under
mulch for three seasons, it has been
decided that the best mulch is composed
Of either partially decayed materials or
of clean oat straw. 1t is reported that
the yield under mulch is ordinarily
greater than without, especially in un-
%congenial chimes. The shading of the
ground furnishes the proper conditions
of temperature and moisture at the
root, as well as assuring the necessary
mechanical condition of the soil 10
desirable in securing uniformity and
the greatest possible development Of
tuber. A mulch, TO be of any value
In a dry climate, should according to
the report in question, be quite a foot
thick, using large seed pieces, however,
to enable the tops to push through the
cover.
The opiuion is expressed that mulch
culture is only practicable on a small
scale and in localities, soils and seasons
unfayorable TO the potato under ordin-
airy culture.

FARM NOTES

SwARMtNG.-Why do bees swarmi
Principally because they become strong
in numbers and have a limited amount
Of room. Is swaTming OBJECTIONABLE
Yes, as 1t will surely curtail the honey
crop. Then why let them swarmi
Because we are careless enough to not
supply the necessary amount OF storage
room.
The above Is not a never falling
remedy to prevent swarming, but there
is so much of 1t summed up in just
these few words that 1t is the best rule
to work to that a be found, and the
idea Of this plan is that we not only
discourage swarming but pave the way
to large honey crops.
l do not pretend to say that the
largest crop OF honey is secured by
strictly keeping down swarming or In
crease, but in a majority of cases
natural swarming results in a decrease
In the honey crop. When colonies be-
come strong We believe we can get
better results from them by allowing
them to cast a swarm, and one warm
only, unless in extreme cases. Natural
swarms, that is first swarms, are ahead
Of any artificial divisions We can
make for storing honey.
