Erfeets of Salt; on Wheat. In an interestingser res of'experiinonts recently made on the farm of the Royal - -Agricultural .Society.' -of • Englara, the manurial value of salt wasunnlisteke: ably indicated. An acro of wheat area - sed with three hundred pounds 'of com- mon salt yielded thirty -Dino. bushels of grain, with a proportionate amount, of straw, while an adjoining .acre left un- man'ured, produced only twenty-nine. bushels per' acre. The entire 'cost. of crop is not stated, but thin ei eritxient showsthat 1 p' 1 at tie additional '.ten :bnsbe'ls resulting from the salt wore j,rocla.ped. at a cost of thirty -cents stroll Tn 'An- other ,plao :n-other,plaCo a piece of ground intended. for wheat' was plowed the: preceding fall, and again in Nay, 'when it was sowed with salt,. and after warcis.plowed before seeding. On the let and 2nd. of September wheat was sown at t11e;rate of two bushels 4'o the wore...The''crop, when harvested, yielded; -according' to. the estimate of the planer, •not•less than forty bushels of grain to the acre,. With a luxuriant growth . of straw,. ' From: these and many. similar'. oases • the. lnf /Tense. seems to be th'. t salt is a specific for the wheat crop,, iMptirting solidity to .the grain and 'firmness.to•Ihe straw. Much, howeyer,: depends on, the nature of the soil`; . on many soils salt does no perceptible good. Vatertiig`Dorsee. A work horse watered regularly tltree times at day cap safely bo allowed to drink es nmeh as he wishes, if the wa- ter bo good and of moderate' tempera- tore. If the horse seems very °,irsty and•disposed to drink very rasa • y and' in large quantity, it :is well to check him after drinking, a little; allowing him to slack his thirst by several sepa- rate draughts rather than by ono.' A horse heated should nob bo .allowed to drink at will.. When`_ it. can.. bo clone conveniently, the comfort of tho horses will bo increased by having water in tho field and giving them .drink once or twice during each 'ciay. in slot :w.eather. Several farmers who have tried it speak highly of the plan of stirring.a little oat or oor1i'mea1rin the water designed.' for work horses. , It is better to do this a few_lionrs before. the waterf s to he neer .. Thus, in morning, the- meal may bo stir- red in water given the horses' at noon,.

This so .enraged• Major Scroggins "that he went :home, and after consulting some frien bd , sent" a challenge to the: reverend gentleman, which was ; promptly declined by ' the said gentleman. The major then vowed to hisfriends that ho would get the bet- ter of the old man, even if hehad, to. throw poison iii his coffee,;: .Ere' armed hiliiself' ,with a navy revolver and adirk, so as to be fully.prelarelay d to his an- tagonist out on sight The •revernetl' doctor also armed himself to• tlieteetl, in case of an emergency, and went about llls•'sp ritual work as - usual. On the, • 14:th the tcvo''mon chanced :to meet on horseback in the road -near the doctor's house. Major Scroggins exclaimed ' I've got you now !' `Tie doctor re- plied, 'Keep cool !' The major replied, Ten'•ruinutes to say your prayers By this time they were a' few paces Impromptu 'apart` ; :and the duel was son tO take place. De. Hill said, °;Well,' Sir, I'm•ready,' at the same time drawing a Derringer: Major Scroggins said, ' And ,so um. I. May the Lord have mercy on lis bath!' With that he fired twice in rapid succession; neither shot taking effect.' Tho doctor , fired once,. frilling' his antagonist instantly, He then rode• back home and.told.the awful news...Friends carried the major's re - Mains or for burial, and the doctor gave himself up. , The deceasedwas quite a prominent far:net-and politician.' Dr. Hill is a Baptist minister of greatpo- piilar'ity'and usefulness in 'his section of the State, and has written several ortho=dox works, which have received . the commendation of his brethren.

How little passenger traffic there vas • between London and Edinburgh may be gathered from the fee; that, in 1708, there seas' only one stage' coach, which started enoo.a month from each of these cities, taking a fort night to perform the joiicney.
