Salt as a Fertilizer.

The value of salt as a. fertilizer for
certain crops must be limited by the
nature of the soil. and lack of atten-
ton to this fact has been the means
OF bringing considerable discredit up.
on the mineralas a fertilizer. A lib.
eral supply ofsalt will kill any vegeta-
ton, but like many other destructive
minerals, a small quantity rightly APP
piled stimulates and improves vegeta-
bic growth. On soils that are lacking
in salt 800 pounds to the acre is a
most liberal supply, and $50 pounds
to the acre has been proved quite de.
structive to all plant growth. Some
soils naturally contain more or less OF
salt, and 300 pounds to the acre OF
such soil might be the means OF caus-
ing untold injury to the plants.
Salt has not yet taken any per-
manent place among manural agents,
for it's application on some soils pro
duces great results, while on others it
seems to have no good action at all.
The true value OF salt must be under
stood before it can be intelIigently
used. Salt does not enter into the
plant life or growth, and plants may
be grown successfully upon soils where
this mineral is entirely absent. But
the true benefit of the salt comes from
the fact that,it acts directly upon the
vegetable matter in the soil, and
makes it available for the growing
plants to absorb. Many soils can
thus be greatly benefited by salt ap-
plications, especially where heavy
barn-yar manure has been applied
annually, or thick quantities OF vege-
tation plowed under for fertilizers.
On such soils continual applications OF
manure, superphosphate and nitrate
ofsoda stimulate the plants, but they
do not prepare the plant food in the
soil for ready use. The salt, however,
acts In a different way, and on soils
OF this nature it's results have been so
marked that it has been unhesitating-
~ praised as the best fertilizer that
could be used. The mistake was not
realized until successive uses OF the
salt developed all of the plant food in
the soil, and It's effect then steadily
decreased.
The application of the salt may be
made in the winter or spring, but if
made in the springit is probably more
beneficial. When spread over the land
In winter, the plant food may be made
available before needed by the crops,
and winter rains would wash it away.
When applied early in the spring the
seeds take. advantage OF the chemical
change and thrive rapidly. ~-

A DUEL WITH ROB ROY.

How MacNeil. OF Barra, Made Him
Prove His superior Swordsman-
ship.
The far famed Rob Roy MacGregor
was confessedly the best swordsman
OF his day, says the Scottish Ameri-
can. His celebrity for welding the
claymore excited MacNeil, of Barra,
to visit him for the express purpose
OF trying his prowess.' Barra was a
gentleman possessing the qualities
that endear q chief to his clan, with
the accomplishments which confer &C.
ceptability in polished circles. On
arriving at Rob Roy's house the
MacNeil chiefta1n found he was at
Buchanan attending a, market, and
thither he repaired: He met several
gentlemen on horseback on their wav
home and accosting the nearest begged
TO know if Rob Roy was still at The
fair.
Who inquiries for Rob Roy?' in
CURED a voice more remote.
.-MacNeil, OF Barra," said the chief.
Rob Roy approached, announcing
himself, and, after exchanging salutes,
Barra said:
Il have heard Rob Roy extolled
as the best swOrdsman OF our times.
and have come q long Journey to
prove whether, he or l deserve that
commendation."
''Chieftain OF Barra," said Rob Roy,
IL never sought a quarrel with any
man; and if it please you to think
yourself the better swordsman l have
no objection to your opinion"
'This is the language Of fear," said
Barra.
"Who dares to speak OF fear to Rob
Roy MacGregor?" said MacGregor,
"Rlsmount, sir, and try if Pm afraid
The chivalrous encounter immediate,
" commenced, and Rob Roy found
Barra nearly his match; but aftel
much dexterous play, he wounded the
chleftaln in the sword arm, so that he
was several months confined at Buch,

An uptown dentist displays a. peck

aching jaws, in a glass case in front of
his establishment. A curious individ-
ual a few days ago asked the doctor

We used to sell them to articulators
OF skeletons, and we got ONE dollar a

more than a quart sometimes to get
even one tooth to suit, because sEel-
eton with a. full set of teeth was worth
at least SIS more than One mot hav-
ing all it's teeth. But that trade is
about lost to this country because
they can set up a skeleton so much
cheaper in France. There ought to be
a heavy tariff duty on skeletons.

Grooming a Horse.

The number of farmers who take
pride in keeping their horses in good
condition by proper grooming is com
paraitively small. 1t is too much 'sboth
err and takes too much time But
there are some things in this world it
is worth while to bother about and
take time to do, and do we'll, and keep
ing the horse well groomed is one OF
them. For it not only greatly i'm
proves their looks-which is a point
worth considering but also promotes
health and longevity. The first thing
to be done on going into a stable in
the morning after giving the horse a
little hays to remove all the drop
pings and litter. The latter should be
carried of where none Of the ammon-
iacal fumes canreach the horses, whose
eyesight man be seriously impaired
thereby, as we'll as their general health
be affected. The grooming should be
done when the horse is taken to water,
and before the grain ration is given.

grooming, begin at the animals mead
and go over the entire body with
comb and brush. Rubbing off the
dirt a little here and there Is not
grooming in any proper sense of the
term. To be sure. it is something to
get the dirt off; but the health and
comfort OF the horse demand that the
whole body should be brushed and

How a Curious Chicago Ordinance Will
BE Evaded.
One OF the things which will be visible to
people who go to Chicago during the Worlds
Fair will be a line of columbian coaches"
whereof the conductors will be in every
case neatly uniformed young women, They
will wear snu g-fitting braided jackets and
bell punches swung around their necks, and
caps something like the yachting headgear
of 1891. And they will be at work long be-
fore 1S93 too.
Mr.. James L. Dyer is the designer Of the
Columbian coaches. He is no more than or
dinarlly gallant, perhaps. but very practi-
cal. Chicago has curious provision that
no vehicle can be run on the bouleyards
without lady aboard. The object of this
ordnance is to keep the boulevards for
