Chlorldu of Bodiuin.
"In common salt a fertilizer ?" It
inot; that ii, directly. The value
i ol this substance, which is a chemic
al compound of chlorine and sodiuuit
1 is in its action upon other substances
; that are elements of plant food much
! needed by the growing crop. Am
mollis, we know, is a much desired
, compound of nitrogen, and an appli
cation of salt to the soil tends to
■; liberate this from its compounds. On
| account of this indirect actiou of salt
' it has frequently proved bcnt-Qcial,
especially on light soils. We may
1 compare its action to that of alcohol
1 and its compounds in the human suh
ji-ct. Il aids tiie system in using up
its accumulated strength—is a stimu
hint, so to speak. Many of the good
effects ol salt are due to the so-calkd
impurities to the substance. Thus
the unrefined salt or the refuse salt
from a factory may contain potash
and other valuable elements of plant
, foot!. Such refuse salt is, therefore,
of more value as a fertilizer than the
refined product. If you think of try
ing salt get the refuae, as ii is cheaper,
i and use only a few hundred pounds
' 11" an acre. Try a small area at first.
Brightening Runty Ploughs.
A w:iter in the Home Journal ad.
vises the following treatment for s
rusty plough : "Tour about eight
I minces of sulphuric acid, as purchas
ed at the apothecary's, Into a quart
of warter; do this slowly and very
carefully, for it will burn hands,
clothing or almost anything else;
also use an eathcrn or crockery ves
sel, rather than a tin or iron one.
Apply this to the rusty surface aev.
••ml limes, making each application
as >on as the former one is dry.
The i wa-h with clear water and re
|>eat tin process. Live some of tuc
worst spot* a rub with a bit of ifris
til brick ; wash again with water ami
wi|H: dry. I'ul u little kerosene
aroun i llie bulls, ami lake the plough
to pieces, scouring each piece to get j
oil the remaining rust spots if nec
essary. This sounds like a formid
able pr- ce*, but the whole operation I
will not take an hour. Oil all expoaed
surfaces with kerosene when you set
tiic p uugii away, aud when you d
your spring ploughing, a few turns I
will finish off the balance of the rust.
Mani rino Gh.\h Laniis.—Farm-1
era who have b. cn hauling manure on
grass lands during the winter should !
make a note of the following good
advice from the Breeders' Ha telle : j
The bay rake will lie found a most
useful implement where meadows or j
pastures are top dressed, especially '
if some considerable portion of the
manure is a little long or lompy.
Spread as evenly as possible from the
w agon, and then put on the rake and
go orer the ground thoroughly in at
least two directions. It is surprising
t> what a degree it will break up and
| thoroughly distribute the manure.
\\ e rer ember to have once gone over
j a meadow in this way, where some of
| tho manure was long, and the rake
, puller! it and rolled it over among the
stubbie until it fairly seemed to wear
it out, and there did not ap|>ear to lie
a place as Urge as a man's hand any.
where in the field which did not have
some portion of manure upon it. The
rake covers the ground very quickly,
for when the rake is so employed the
horse should be kept at a rapid gait, !
and the expense is merely nominal,
and we believe it will always pay to 1
use it after top dressing. Of course,
i ir it gathers up anything in the way
of long stuff, which can be collected
■ in winrows. that should be gathered
up with the wagon and hauled back
to the compost heap, to prevecnt its
fouling the next crop of bay. And
this last consideration should always
be kept in view in lopdressing
j meadows, for there is considerable
danger of it, unic*a these manures;
i should Ire well decomposed or are
11<UI sbotl mU line.
Cling to tho lifght.
There is nothing more certain than
that right will triumph ut last, and
triumph eternally; and it is equally
| certain that wrong is destined to utUr
und everlasting overthrow.
Whoever ties his boat to a sinkir g
rltip will go down ; and whoever link*
himself with wrong is sure, eventually,
to encounter overthrow. There may
Ire temporary prosperity, there will he
final defeat; there may he present
success, but there will be eternal ruin.
Hence they consult their wisdom and
their safety, who cling to the right at
, whatever cost; not through stubborn
ness of will, hut through steadfast
j ness of faith, und honesty of consci
ence.
How brief the sccue of triul will
seem when the struggle is over; bow
light the afllictions, when the eternal
I weight of glory shall dawn ujon the
church of God; how unworthy of uo
tice will ull seem all the sufferings of
j the present time when compared with
the crowns, the joys, ihe raptures,
: which shall reward the ransomed of
i he Ird.
Ixtt the servants of God take coui
age ; tin ir conflicts are brief, and they
war against a defeated foe. The < ap
tain of th- ir salvation ha- gone be
; fore, and on every battle-field he ha*
overcome and scattered all their cue
tnics. The day of his victory is at
hood, j hen shall right be trium
phant, and those who have clung to
the right shall triumph with it for
ever.
