Sall4- 7 .1 Fertilizer
We take pleasure in transferring m the col
-1111109 of the Farmers' Limary, from the Amer
ican Quarterly Journal ot!culture, tile htl
lowing valuable article, on the use of Salt as a
manure:
At a conference meeting. hell at Marcellus,
Onondago county, to November last, Mr.
Brown, President'of the County Agricultural
Society. said •• he had u-ed sdt 114 a mature
with great benefit Ile sows it broallea•t upon
wheat and grass. at the rate of three to five
bushels to the acre. On grass, he would sow
it in the fall—fur wheat. he would sow a just
before the wheat ;is sown. Ile found that
three bushels of suit to the acre• CM his wheat
field, occasioned an inc-ease of seventeen
bushels of wheat to the acre over that which
had no salt. The soil was a strung loam with
a stiff subsoil." •
•' Cuthbert W. Johnson, a distinguished Ag
ricultural writer, strongly recommends salt as
a manure,. at the rate of from ten to twenty
bushels to the acre, to be sown from two to
three weeks before the seed is put into the
ground. lie ens the benefits are as follows:
Ist. When used in smart quantities it pro
motes a putrefaction. 2d. By destroying
grubs and weeds. 3u. As a constituent or di
rect food. 4th. As a sumuleat to the absorb
ent vessels. sth. By preventing injury from
sudden transitions of temperature. 6th. By
keeping the soil mni.t.•'
It would seem from all the frets I have been
able to collect, that salt cortaipts ve.!etable sub
stances When mixed in small quantities, but
preserves them when it predominates in a
mass; that in dry seasons its effects are more
apparent, and whether. it attracts moisture
from the atmosphere, or whether it acts as a
stimulant or condiment, is of little consequence
so long as its etTects are certain.
On account of time small quantity of salt, in
weight, required for manuring lands, it is no
inconsiderable recommendation, because, on
that account, it may with ease he conveyed
to the most rough steep. and mountainous part
to which the more bulky and heavy manures
most in use, could not he citified, but with in
finite labor, and at an expense far exceeding
all the advantages to he effected from it.
For a top dressing. a composition of salt
and lime, 4 bushels of the former and 12 of the
latter to the acre, has been highly recommend
ed for grass . : lands infected with moss, and pro
moting a more vigorous growth of grass. Its
beneficial effects on asparautis beds are well
known to gardners, giving a deeper color and
more vigorous growth to the plants.
Salt itself, is considered by some rather too
harsh in its nature, but mixed with ashes, say
six of dry ashes to ten of salt, well mixed to
gether, which is sufficient for an acre, and
spread upon the furrow and harrowed in. BY
being thus mixed, one p incorporates
and mollifies the other, and if conveyed into
the earth by a' soapy. sitaioth method, . will
prove the real enriches the earth wants, to send
tomb vegetation.
SAVING SEED.-It has often occurred to me
that sufficient care has not been exercised in
saving seed of vegetables from the tinest part
of the crop. If we breed live stock, of what
ever kind, we invariably select the parents
from the best of our flock or stud. do with
regard to flowers—no one would sow seed
from inferior, but would select from the best
specimens; and it is by following up this sys
tem, (even without more crossing than is per
formed by nature, and the bees.) Thinking
the same effects would accrue from a more
careful selection of culinary seeds, and that a
much greater degree of productiveness might
be attained, about three years ago I began an
experiment with longpod beans; I carefully
selected the finest and fullest pods for seed,
taking none with fewer than five beans in each.
Next year I'had a good sprinkling of pods with
six in each ; these were saved fur seed. The
following year there were six-seeded pods and
some with seven. Following up the same
plan, I find this season many more six and
seven pods. than of a less number. and sonic
with eight! There are still a few plants which
produce five-seeded pods have seldom a six
seeded pod upon them, but all fives; on the
contrary, a six-seed plant generally has all the
pods bearing six beans or more. Ii the same
thing were adopted with our corn-crop, hy se
lecting a few of the largest and best filled cars,
to save as seed, I have little doubt, more pro
ductive varieties might be procured. In my
younger days, I once gathered an ear of barley
which had twenty-two grains on each
,ride:
surely the produce from seed of thia di_foirip
tion would . yield a far better crop than• such
as is generally sown.—Genesee Farmer.
A gentleman asked a waz the other by the
reason why in many of theta!l gentlemen were

Draining.
We are fast approaching a season whOt
this brand' of husbandry can be put iteto sue- ,
eess , ol operation. Your attention will be
drattni to the removal of 'surface water, bleed
ing springs, and draining mirsh-swainps and
boggy lands. Now it is difficult at times to
get into the latter places. excepting in the dri
est seasons. which we are to expect shortly.
Do not intuit a little work, for if it is pOssible
to drain a swamp containing a goodly portion
of peat or muck, be assured that these substan
ces—ncon being corrected hr exposure to the
atmosphere or the amino of the frost, or More
quickly to that of alkaline matter, as pot
ash. soda or runumnia—become rich. med and
storable fertilizers; They change the stubborn
earth into a mellow soil, and thus pay for the
labor of getting them. In localities where
t.eat aid ions.k are situated. it is ofetentime'
difficult to form a drain sufficiently deep to
carry oil' the water, ((wing to the rise of sur
rounding lard. In such cases-. recourse may

boring, or otherwise by rnakinfr a well, and
then conducting drains into it, (the well to be

clay strata is to be studied before the work is
entered upon. lest too much expense be Mew-

PREPARMi SEED WHEAT.—At a meeting of
the American Agricoltural Association in New
York, It. L. Pell, Esq., of Pelham, Ulster
county, detailed an experiment in the cultlea
non of Wheat. which appears entirely new.
lie said that on the 9th of October. last year.
he cleaned the tops from a potato field. kburnt
them, and returned the ashes wilh a view of
sowing wheat. The seed was prepared thusr
Soaked lour hours in brine that would hear
egg. then scalded with boiling hot salt water
mixed with penlash—passed through a set ye
—distributed thinly over the barn floor. and a'i
dry Composition sifted on it, composed of the ,
following substances; oyster shell lime. char
coal dust, oleaflnous rhareual. ashes, Jersey
blue sand. brown sugar, salt, Peruvian guano.
silicate 01 potash, nitrate of soda and sulphate
of ammonia ; the sun was permitted to shine
upon it for ahont, halt an boor. when the parti
cles became. as it were, chrystaltzed upon the
grain; in this state it was sown at the rate of
two and a half bushels to the acre. directly on
the potato ground from which the lops. had
been removen. and p'oughed under to the depth
of five inches with a Scotch plough, harrowed
once, a bushel of timothy !seed sown to the acre,
and harrowed twice. At the expiration of fif
teefi days the wheat was so far above ground
as to he pronounced by a neighbor far in ad
vance of his, which had been sown in the usu
al way on the first of September, thirty nine
days earlier,.
The flour made from this wheat, which
weighed nearly 65 lbs., received the first pre
mium. a silver medal, at the last fair of the
American Institute. The superiority of the
flour was owing io the enormous amount of
gluten it contained. Mr. P. read Dr. I). P.
Gardners analysis of the flour, which showed_
that it contained 18 per cent of gluten after be
ing (hied by an air pump over sulphuric arid—
his manures were applied for the purpose of
procuring gluten. It Lucy be as well to say
that a composition made by Mr. P., contain•
inir 90 different chemical substances, was
spread broadcast over the whole field before
the wheat came up. at an expense not exceed
ing 83. The yield per acre was somewhere
about 80 bushels.
CATTLE', IN PAsTrßEs.—Steers and Oxen
may be pastured together ; so also may heifers,
cows and yearlings, and large weaned calves.
Horses are better by themselves. Bulls, if not
vicious, may run with oxen. It should ever
he an object with the grazer so to arrange and
lay out his pasture grounds, as to adieu of a
change of !twit at retct as often as once a fort
night, through the season. Sheep should nev
er be allowed to enter lands intended for neat
stock, but be provided with a pasture by them
selves:—they font the grass, and by ennsb3nt
trampling, greatly diminish the amount of
feed.
A Nem:inc.—James I. of England, went out
of his way to hear a noted preacher. The
clergyman seeing the king enter, left his text
to declaim against swearing, for which the
king was notorious. When done. James
thanked him for his sermon; hot asked him
what connection swearing had with this text.
He answered, Since your majesty came
out of your way through curiosity to meet me.
I could not in complaisance, do leasthan go
out of mine to meet coo."
A NECDOTE.-A foolish person went to the
parson of the parish, and maktng up a very
long fare, told hitti he had seen a ghost as
lie way passinm by a grave-yard moving
moving alonr against the side of the wall.
In what shape di , l it appear r
•• In the shape of an ass.
Go home and hold your tongue about it,"
said the pastor : •• you are a very timid man
and have been frightened at your own shadow."
A MEAN MAY.—There is one mean rich
man whom the daegnerreans have tried three
tones to get a likeness of, but failed, because
/lc teas ton ,limy to kart his shadow;

BY SAMUEL MAUNDER,
Author of the "Treasury of Knowledge,"
cal Treasury," &c. including.
THE . HISTORY OF AMERICA,
EDITED hr JOHN INMAN, Erg
The republication of this valuable work has been
undertaken partly on account of the high favor with
which it has been received in England, but chiefly In
consideration of its intrinsic value, arising .from the
felicitous adoption of the plan to a want that has been
long 'and .generally felt and from the judgment and
fidelity manifested in its execution. The idea of giv
ing in a single work, of no very formidable dimensions,
a sufficient outline of the world's whole history,•and
similar outlines of the history of every nation, is so
obvious, judicious and appropriate as to require no
eulogium. Every person who cares at all for the
acquisition of useful knowledge must desire to posers
such a general knowledge of past events, not only in his
own country hut in all countries, as shall enable him
to understand the perpetually recurring allusions that are
found in almost any course of general reading; because
for want of such understanding there is always a serious
diminution both of pleasure and profit. even in the
perusal of such works as are designed chiefly for arouse
, ment. For instance, iaost of Sir Walter Scott's novels
are founded upon history, and abound with reference to
historal events and personages, a want of some acquain
tance with which detracts seriously from the interest and
delight they are so well qualified to awaken; and so of
most other works belonging to the better class of what
is ealled light literature, 13st the difficulty has been to
obtain this general knowledge without going through
many books, requiring a greater expenditure of time and
money than most persons are able or willing tb AMA ;
and tootiviate such difficulty has been the purpos of Mr.
ld a rider .
tits plan has the merit of completene..a. and is un
doubtedly the hest thse could have been desired. 11.
gives first a general ' , ketch or ancient anal modern his
tory—a rapid and comprehensive bird's-eye view, aa it
were of the re- and pr,,grc,s of nations, the moat im
portant incidents of their career, and their relations to
each other; arid after this he takes up the [tattoos
separately, furnishing a concise digest of all that is im
portant or desirable to know concrrning each, and thus
affording a sort of key to the criangea and csaants th at
were more briefly in•lre deal, rasher by their results than
tired Merril nts, in the gr neral sheteh or engine. Thus
the salient points of history ate brotialit hat:an; a man
ageable compass ; and an exeellent foundation is laid for
more thorough mid extensiar reading io n•;..:enue to
any portion of the world or al.y epeeh of h !rich a com
plete knowledge may he desired.
In the• execution of this plan the author has been very
successful. ilts'notices of bi,tbnral events•iunugh brief.
arc lurid and satisfaetory; and he traces the conneetion
of e:h•el anal CaL,e nub -angular artl:IIVII and general.s
with most commendable freedom from wirtialit or has:
then supply:rig :lyer:a , :;and idea of the pitit,,.;,pi a , of
hi-tory as well as of the facts which historill rerords.—
In a word, the work will be found invaluable to the 2e
njral reader, and a very useful help to the strident.
