ton rs TO the benefits of salt as Il
fertilizer and the best methods or
using it upon land. He said that al
though il was an excellent practice TO
put salt regularly and freely on the
manure heap, this is not sufficient for
dry and light soils, so that about two
hundred-weight OF salt should be APP
piled with each art-load OF manure;
but it is generally agreed that the
best time TO apply salt is Just before
the land is broken up, when il gets
plowed in and thoroughly i%ncorpOr-
ated with the soil and subSoil.
For all produce salt has been
found TO be more or less beneficial, ac-
cording To The condition OF the soil.

with great advantage, but upon
stiff. heavy, wet land it should be
used moderately and only when the

The ~chrome-steel, OF which the
safes and vaults Of banks are now
largely built, is easily drilled by nrst
heating the steel. a basket OF wire
netting is made to "A space OF
about six or eight inches square, and
this is wired 70 the side of the safe or
door. 1t is filed with charcoal, which
IS ignited aud a fierce heat generated
by a pair OF bellows. In four or five
minutes the basket is removed and
the heate ! spot allowed 10 cool. 1t
may then be drilled or cut like Ordi-
nary boiler iron. The author Of the
article states that he has seen a hole
sufficiently large to admit a mans
arm cut clear through a chroIne-steel
bank safe four inches thick in two
hours 50 that a mans arm was passed
through and the locking bolts discOn-
nected with "A wrench. In a little
less than two hours a similar hole
was cut through the back OF the safe
into the money vault. and its CON
tents taken out through this hole.
The large vault door b hind which
the safe is placed is rarely blown with
glycerinc. 1t is generally opened by
drilling a two or three inch hole be-
tween the handle and the comb,na-
tiOn lock. This cuts of the locking
bolt, and the door opens when the
handle is turned. Sales with round

False ErOnpIny.

The attempt TO keep thirty or more
hens in a poultry house that is adapta-
bic 10 only twenty, results in fewer
eggs from the thirty hens than If a
smaller number occupied the space.
Cases are numerous where a few
hens Iayed well, while large ilOcks
gave no returns. The hens must be
comfortable or they will not thrive,
and during the warm season there is
no surer method OF ceasing egg pro.
duCtiOn than to have too many hens
together. There is no c OnOmy in
%crowding them, for what is gained in
one direction is lost in another.
