Importance of Salt in Agriculture.
If we should ask why so enormous
a quantity of this inestimable gift of
salt is distributed throughout the earth :
why three-fourths of the surface of the
planet designed for the home of man
is covered with it; the answer would
be—in order to preserve the work of
Nature, to enable man the more read
ily to sustain himself, and to make him
wealthier and better. It has become
an indispensable condition for the ex
istence of man, and his civilization.—
In all organic beings we meet with two
processes—that of life and that of de
composition—the latter beginning its
full activity after the former has
achieved its end; at the moment when
organic beings are dissolved into those
constituents from which the plant was
formed and nourished.
If, however, we intend to check, or
at least delay decomposition, we must
employ acids, for we know that the
Creator formed of the sea-salt a mighty
barrier against the immeasurable mass
of water becoming putrid; we know
that our stocks of flesh, grease, &e., are
preserved by the application of salt;
that cabbage-water, acids in general
and kitchen-salt are the means em
ployed by the agriculturalist against
septic diseases in our domestic animals,
against diseases of the mouth and feet.
The separation of milk and deposit of
meatwillbe increased by the application
of salt, thus forming an essential means
for the promotion of cattle-raising.—
By the application of salt, the fruits,
especially wine, will become much bet
ter ; and even the ancients were in the
habit of throwing salt on their grounds,
their vineyards and fruit trees. Agri
cultural chemistry informs us that the
simplest combinations through which
nourishment is conveyed to plants con
sists in acids, alkalise and alkaline sub
stances. Animal chemistry shows that
free muriatio acid and kitchen-salt form
the principal constituents of the con
tents of the stomach.
Ina French prize paper, by Dr. De.
sarve, on the manifold advantages of
the use of salt in agriculture, the fol
lowing results have been laid down by
the celebrated French veterinary eur•
geon, Grog;niez :
Common salt serves as a preventive
of the fermentation and heating of hay
which has been heaped up in large
stacks during wet weather. Forty
quintals of hay require fifteen pounds
of salt, to be strewn among it in alter
nate layers.
The effect is much better shown in
straw, which if intended to be used as
fodder, by being moistened with salt
" ;,• " ','; Vicicirgatvaq2Pg
instead of hay, a method in use among
the ancients.
Leaves of trees, when put in ditches
with salt, may be prevented for a long
time from putrefactive fermentation,
and will even make good forage. In
telligent farmers of the Mont d'Orly
onals are in the habit of thus preserv
ing their vine leaves as fodder for goats.
Fodder, of inferior quality, for in
stance straw, or other kinds, soaked
and bleached by rain and sun, cured
too late, or become woody, may be
rendered more palatable and easy of
digestionby being salted. A pound of
salt in three quarts of water is required
for a quintal of bad hay.
The sharp taste which the milk of
cows usually assumes in consequence
of beets, turnips and white cabbage
being continually fed to them, can be
removed by salting those vegetables.
In Flanders, common salt is Strewn
on new and wet oats, to be fed to hor
ses, and thus prepared, will not be dan
gerous to the animals. The same ap
lication may also be made to hay new
ly harvested, to prevent injuries when
it may become necessary to feed such
hay, the moisture of which has not
been fully evaporated.
Though the bad qualities of dusty,
muddy, or mouldy fodder, after having
been washed and threshed, are not en
tirely removed, yet by giving a sprink
ling of salt-water, they will be dimin
ished to a considerable degree. This
fact will be of advantage to the farmer
whenever he may be in want of appro
priate fodder.
By means of salt, such water as oth
erwise could not be used for cattle for
drinking, will be rendered proper.
The great advantages derived from
common salt with regard to the health
of cattle, have been clearly shown by
many experiments made bythat learned
and celebrated agriculturist of Aisne°
M. Boussingault. Cattle, by being fed
with salt, receive a soft and glossy
skin, their digestion and appetite are
in good order, and they increase in
flesh and strength. Cows thus fed
yield much milk, while those treated
otherwise have dull skins, with rough
hairs, exhibit less appetite, produce a
smaller amount of flesh, and yield not
only inferior quantity, but also quality
of milk.
Manure from cattle fed with salted
fodder is also of a better quality.
Finally, manuringwith salt will ban
ish mosses and hurtful parasitical plants
from shadows.— U. S. Patent Office
Report.

Quantity of Milk for a Pound of
Bu
Much difference of opinion is enter
tained in relation to the quantity of
milk required to make a pound of
butter. It is true that there is a very
great difference in the quality of
milk from different cows. The feed,
also, has much influence upon the rich
ness of the milk. The milk of the Al
derney cow will give much more but
ter from a given quantity of milk, than
any other breed with which we are
familiar—but it is very desirable to
ascertain, as far as practicable, what
is the fair average of dairies, compo
sed of the dairy cows of this country,
and treated as our best dairy cows are
by good dairymen.
We requested a dairyman in this
State, Joshua S. Holbert, of Chemung,
to make the experiment, and furnish
us with the result. He has done so
and his statement will be found an
nexed. From this it will be seen that
the fair average of the dairy, taking
the season through, is fourteen quarts
of milk for a pound of butter. We have
made extensive inquiries since this
statement was furnished, and the gen
eral expression of dairymen, in our
own and adjoining States, corresponds
with that of Mr. Holbert.
It will be seen in the report which
we give of Mr. T. Horsfall, of England,
on the management of dairy cattle,
that the same average is found in
Mecklenburg, Prussia, Holland, and
Great Britain.
It is very important that our dairy
men should make careful trial of dif
ferent varieties of feed, testing the
qualities of each, and thus ascertian
what is most beneficial, in addition to
the ordinary pastures of the farm.—
Indian corn for soiling has been very
successfully used in this State, for dai
ry cattle--and'in the severe drought
of 1854, those of our dairymen who
had this resource, were enabled to
make their full complement of butter,
while others suffered a very great re
duction in their annual produce. The
Chinese Sugar Cane is recommended
as favorable for this purpose, and its
extensive culture during the approach
ing season, will doubtless test its value.
The Stowell Evergreen corn has prov
ed the most valuable variety for soil
ing that we have known in this State.
JOSHUA S. HOLBERT'S STATEMENT
B. P. Johnson, Esq.: In order to as
certain the quantity of milk necessary
to make a pound of butter, I have
measured several churnings of milk,
and then weighed the butter, and it
takes 15 quarts of milk to make one
pound of butter. I think, to take the
whole time of milking
_for the year, it
will take 14 quarts. My father, John
Holbert, thinks it will take between
13 and. 14. Last fall, while feeding

N. Y. State Ag. Society.
Live Cattle Weighed by Measure.
The only instrument necessary is a
measure with feet and inches marked
upon it. The girth is the circumfer
ence of the animal just behind the
shoulder blades. The superficial fact
is obtained by multiplying the girth
and length. The following table con
tains the rule to ascertain the weight
of the animal :
If less than one foot in girth, multi
ply superficial feet by eight.
If less than three and more, than
one, multiply superficial feet by
eleven.
If less than five and more than three
multiply superficial feet by sixteen.
If less than seven and more than
five, multiply superficial feet by twen
ty-three.
If less than nine and more than sev
en, multiply superficial feet by thirty
three.
If less than eleven and more than
nine, multiply superficial feet by forty
two.
Example : Suppose the girth of a
bullock to be six feet three inches;
length five feet six inches ; the superfi
cial area will then be thirty-four; and
in accordance with the preceding table
the weight will be seven hundred and
eighty-two pounds.
Example :—Suppose a pig to meas
ure in girth two feet, and length one
foot nine inches. There would then
be three and a half feet, which, multi
plied by eleven, gives thirty-eight and
a half pounds as the weight of the ani
mal when dressed. In this way the
weight of the four quarters can be
substantially ascertained during life.
Calves With sheep.
It is well known, perhaps, to most
of your agricultural readers, that late
calves, when they come to the barn in
the fall, will, if confined in yards with
older animals, frequently sicken and
become debilitated. Being weak and
small, they are usually shoved about,
and deprived of their due share of food,
and in consequence " fall away" rapid
ly. Now I never allow animals of
this description to associate or be con
fined with larger ones, but put them
with my sheep where there is no dan
ger of their doing or receiving harm.
Sick calves, I have observed, often
pick up and devour with avidity the
hay and straw from among the sheep
dung. It is medicinal, and I know of
no article that has a more immediate
and salutary effect in restoring diseas
ed calves to health than sheep dung.—
I have practiced this usage for many
years, and have never lost an animal,
though I have had many sick when
they came to the barn.—Cor. of the
Germantown Telegraph.
Dressing of Wounds.
The first dressing to recent wounds
after stopping the blood by means of
styptics, or tying the vessel should it
be necessary, is dry lint covered with
tow or linen cloth. .This dressing
should be suffered to remain for two
or three days. It should then be re
moved, and asterwards dressed accord
ingly, by promoiing suppuration, etc.,
once or twice a day. This is the mode
of treating a lacerated wound, or an
incised wound that has not united in
the first instance by the adhesive in
flammation, which, in the latter case,
should nlwaes be attempted, by bring
ing the edges closely in contact, by
means of adhesive plaster.
