Salt as a Fertilizer.

II has been proved by many practical
farmers and scientific experimenters in
this country that salt is often beneficial
to the growing wheat crop. This seems
rather strange when we remember that
in many cases we see it giving de-
cided check to the vegetable growth,
and yet thereby adding to the yield Of
grain. For some crops, such as the
wurzel, salt is direct requirement Of the
plant as food. Beans, cabbages and on
ions also appear to flourish with liberal
supplies. The analysis of the ash Of
mangel wurzel, according to Tanner,
shows considerable variation in the
quantity Of salt present. According TO
Way and Ogston the average Of four
analyses of the bulb showed a
variation of from 10 per cent
to 1851 per cent of salt in the
ash and an average of IS. IS per cent
The tops of the mangel wurzel, on the
same authority, contained 1896 per
cent OF salt in the ash. 1t is therefore
evident that this crop in particular re-
quires supply of salt as plant food. 1t
is present in the ash Of every cultivated
plant, and 1t must therefore be regard
ed as generally desirable as food for
these crops. Perhaps the most import
ant influence that salt has its power of
checking the superhuous growth of
rank vegetation. Taking this into con.
sideratiOn. we desire to offer sugges-
ton as to an experiment that might be
tried on small scale by farmers this
year. We all know that on rich land.
whether MANFRED corn land or sod new
ly turned, oats grow 80 rank that either
lodge or produce little grain to the
proportion of straw. Now might not
this rank growth Of straw be retarded
by judicious use Of salt as fertilizer,
and a greater yield of grain be obtain
ed as direct result OF its application
We confess that this suggestion is at
present based only on theory. but for
all that there is substantial reason for
supposing that its correctness will be
borne out in practice. We trust some
OF our readers will make the experi-
ment and report to us the results

THE SULTAN OF zANzlBAR.

Death OF an African Potenfate Who
Understood How TO Make His Soy
ereiGnty Pay.
The death of the sultan of Zanzibar
is a bad thing for British influence on
the east coast of Africa. says cable
dispatch to The Net0 York. San, and
may cause friction with Germany. which
has been very active in those regions Of
late. The sultan years ago had mis-
understanding with England about the
slave trade, and narrowly escaped
having his palace brought tumblihg
about him by shells from British mcn-
of-war anchored in his own harbOr.
Later he saw the error of his ways. aud
winking at human traffic. took no part
in it. His phys clan and commander
in-chief of his queer army were English
men, and he was fond of giving dinners
in what his chief was pleased to style
English fashion. lie would freely lend
horses and carriages to officers OF the
British men-of-war, and the humblest
midshipman was always sure of good
time when ashore at Zanzibar. The
sultan must have died rich. for he en-
ioyed an income of over $1,000. 900
year. aud used to let his idle war-ships
on hire as freight steamers, He also
made good thing out of the religious
fervor of his subjects, by converting from
Zanzibar TO Jeddah in his own steam
ers the pilgrims bound for holy Mecca.
The sultan was free-and-easy sort Of
Mussulman himself. but he didn't allow
the newfangled European doctrine Of
liberty OF conscleuce to apply to mem
bers of his own family. 0ne OF lis sis
ters managed to clope with German
employed in merchants Office
at $50 a week. She became a
Christian. and was left widow
almost destitute. Over and over
again the poor princess applied for help
to her royal brother. but he refused
either to see or to forgive her.
