HOW TO I'SK SALT.
One of the Very Ha*st Things I'seal on
the Farm When Properly Applied.
It should not be used on cold, heavy
or moist soils, and if any one does, he
will be disappointed in the result, as
its tendency is to keep the ground cool
and moist. It will do such soil more
harm than good. It should not be cast
upon very young and tender plants of
any kind, as it will be very sure to kill
them.
Judgment should be employed in
using so strong and active an agent,
but I think, indeed I know, that some
men do not use any. I had a triend
who heard me in a lecture recommend
salt on onion beds, when I strictly
urged that it should he -dragged or
worked in before tbe seed was sown;
but forgetting what I said, or thinking
it would make no difference, he did not
salt until the onions were about two
inches higb, and it killed them all;
which he laid to me, and meant to give
me a fearful scolding, but sowing an
other root crop that turned out splen
didly, he gave up the scolding. Had
he waited until the tops]\verc as big as
a large pipe-stem, he might have cov
ered the ground an inch deep, and Ms
onions would have done finely.
Onions should be sown on the same
ground year after year, as they con
tinue to improve. There are yards a
hundred years old, and their yield
would astonish the common grower.
The tops when cut off should be scat-

tered over the ground (do [not leave
them in lumps), as they make the best
food for the growing onions; then sow
salt, and then putjon a coat of manure.
1 do not think salt is much of a fer
tilizer in itself, though plants take it
up, as you can tell by tasting and by
the stiffening and glazing of straw of
a plant grown in salted ground. I
think it acts upon and assimilates the
gross matter iu the soil so as to make
it available food.
I learned the use of salt from the late
(Jeneral Wad worth, who told tne he
sowed from seventy-five to one hundred
barrels on his home farm every iall, at
the rate of two to the acre. I followed
his rule, but sowed iu the spring, as I
plowed then, and every spring, put
two barrels to the acre on all my plow
ed ground ns long as I kept it up
usually four years—and dragged it in.
Having a hillside pasture which
could not be easily plowed I ibougbt
I would try salt, which I did on, one
half of it, casting on also what little
wood-ashes I had, and the result was
surprising, it killed all the*weeds but
the thistles, and caused a rapid and
great growth of grass, and I doubt if
one of my horses, cattle or sbeep went
on the unsulted part to feed during the
whole season. The next season I
sowed the other part in the same way,
and so on for two or three years, until
thoroughly redeemed. Wheat, grass,
onions, potatoes and most root crops
will stand a ton and a half to the acre,
though it is not necessary to use this
quantity, as they will thrive well with
jess.
In conclusion let me say my long
experience iu its use has fastened the
conviction in my mind, whatever the
rest of the world may say, that used it
under proper conditions, in a proper
way, and for certain purposes and
ends, there is nothing equal to it, and
that it is one of the very best things
used on the farm.— C. E. Ifewex, in
Country Gentleman.
The INi-.itinn Taken I>uriiig Sleep.
A very larg number ol adults form
the habit of sleeping in one particular
position, such NS lying upon their
right or left side. A smaller number
sleep upon the back. Some persons
sleep with the head greatly extended;
more often it is flexed considerably up
on the trunk Many must have the head
greatly elevated; others can only sleep
with the head very low. Some ob
servation made by Dr. OI Nosovitcb
( Wratseh) upon 235 soldiers showed
that 375 per cent slept upon the right
side, 23 per cent on the left, aud 6 5
per cent on the back
It has yet to be determined wether
any particular harm can come from
sleeping in a certain position which the
indivual unconsciously assumes. A
popular belief exists to the effect that
the liver, being a heavy organ, tends
to press the abdominal viscera when
a person lies on the left side. At any
rate more persons, sleep on the right
side than on the left, as an experience
and Nosovittch's statistics show. The
author in question believes, also that
the posture in sleep influences the ex
tension of a bronchitis. He found, for
example, that in 235 cases referred to,
all of whom had this disorder, in 97 it
was left-sided, in 72 right-sided, and
iu GO on both sides. He thinks that
the preponderance of the bronchitis on
the left side was due to the tact that
there was a greater expansion of this
side during sleep, and, consequently,
a greater ingress of cold air or of the
morbific particles causing the disease.
Some writers have thought that the
position in sleeping has an influence
upon the fieccs through the colon, the
position on the right side being espec
ially unfavorable to emptying the co
lon. Kepose on the left side, on the
other hand, favors the gravitation of
faeces from the traverse ipto the de
scending colon, aud is therefore to be
preferred by those suffering from hab
itual constipation(J. S. Jewell).
A recent writer has argued strongly
for that view that the head should be
lower than the feet during sleep, and
be claims that more perfect health and
greater longevity will result from such
approximatetopsy-turviness. The con
trary position; with the bead and
trunk considerably raised, sometimes
relieves cramps in the legs. It is well
known that some chronic nervous af
fectious, more particularly nocturnol
epilepsy and some forms of insomnia,
are sometimes benefited by sleeping in
a partially eroct posture.
It appears, that the posture during
sleep is a matter deserving some atten
tion from physicians, and that some
actual therapeutic result may be ob
tained by looking after its details.—
