An experiment made in England some time ago seemed to prove that sixteen bushels of salt to an acre. was sufficient to kill all existing vegeta- tion and to prevent further growthun- til cultivation and the action of rain had disseminated the superabundant salt throughout the soil. But now we have a • aentleman in the Michigan Farmer relating an. experienee vealeh will upset all previous theories ns to the. amount of salt that land will tand. carload (ten tons) of salt arrived just as' he was leaving home in the fall of 1875. He gave hasty orders to his hired man to scatter the salt on each of his fields, which would have been at the rate of one ton to ten acres; but the man mis- understood, and actually put the whole ten tons of salt on an -unfortunate ten acres of rye- that is one ton to the acre. The farmer, on returning and be- holding what had been done, made up his mind that the field was ruined for five years at least. It was telo big a joke to laugh at, and he was at the same time curious about the result. He noticed that the.rye did not grow very much dering the fall, and it made very little show in the spring, but he harrowed it and rolled. it; and let the crop grow if it would. This field has been. tile -drained, all the drains leading into one main outlet. In the spring fol- lowing the application of salt water that came from the drains was impreg- nated with salt that it could be tasted in the water very distinctly. The 'rye was late, and so late that the; timothy in many places .got the start of 'it. But the rye grew aaid yielded a good fair crop, the straw being yery strong. See- ing that the timothy was growing. in the wring, he sowed the field with clover seed to the usual amount and also let it take its chance. •The timothy was so large among the rye that it. made the crop difficult to cure, and the mixture of rye straw and tnnothy was almost as valuable for feed as if the whole had been timothy grass. The rye was fol- lowed by a line second growth of timo- thy and clover. This year the result has been one of the finest . and largest cuttings of timothy and Glover hay that has ever been taken off any field on this farm. Another'. point was the entire absence of insect life on the soil. Neither grub, wire -worm, earth -worm or maggot could be found in the field, and even the grasshoppers and other insects seemed to have left it. Of course it does not follow that such an amount of salt would not be prejudicial elsewhere. The field in question was of a very loose, sandy and, porous na- ture, and thoroughly drained, and, as the story shows, parted with the excess of salt freely. But it is possible that there are some valuable lessofis to be learned from the occurrence. Winter Feedi-ng of Cows. . During Summer, when the herbage is fresh and abundant, cows make -their ownrailk. All that ,is n.eede& then is to see that their grass is abundant and their water is sure. In the 'Winter sea- son, it is the owner's , skill, more than anything else, that makes the milk. To keep a, cow in full flow through the winter is a matter of difficulty to the most skilful dairyman. But It can be done if the means are at hand. and the methods are followed. The first requi- site is a warm stable, in which there is abundant ventilation, and where per- fect cleanliness can be observed, for comfort is as necessary to full milking as feed or water; The skin ot the _cow should also be kept clean, and well carded or brushed, for the healthful action of the skin is necessary for health and healthful secretions. .Then the feed should be nutritious, easily digestible, and abundant. Hay is the principal winter fodder for cows, and early cut clover mixed with "meadow grass," chiefly what is know o as June grass, or Kentucky blue grass, with some red, top, is the best for preduct of milk. Timothy and orchard grasses, if cut young and. from fields thickly sown and well mauured, will make good hay for 'Mich cows. Well -cured corn fodder is but little inferior to the best hay ; and the writer has found that sweet -corn fodder, sown in drills three feet = apart, and with stalks six inches apart, grown to maturity, and carefully o-ured, will make more milk than an equal. weight of fair clover and timothy hay. .The concentrated food supplied is of more importance than the coarse fodder, and it is here that mistakes are often made.. Corn -meal alone is toO rich in carbonaa minis matters to rproduce milk; food' that is richer in albumen than is nec- essary. Corn, oats and rye bran in (mina' weights, ground. together, furnish a perfect food that is rich in phosphates albumen, and fat -forming substances, and thus produce a good. flow of milk rich in cream. Buckwheat bran stim- ulates the secretion of milk greatly, bit this food, being deficient in fat and starch, produces a poor quality of !thin milk. Wheat middlings and bran alone have a tendency to reduce the yield, of milk, at least that is the re- sult of a continuous trial of this food for a whole month. Brewers' = grains are a nutritious food that helps greatly to increase the flow of milk, and, if corn meal i. added the quality of the milk is also improved.. The = oil cakes are rich in beth albumen and oil, but few dairymen care to use these, because of the peculiar flavor which they im- part - to the milk; Potatoes, when chopped and mixed with meat, add to the yield of milk, and the quality pro- duced. by them is,good, as might be ex- pected from the largo proportion of starch they contain. Turnips should be avoided as food for milking' cows, as the cautious use of them required in- terferes greatly with the routine of the feeding, and makes much trouble. Punapkins-are tt rich food and impart a good color to the cream; but the seed should be removed before they are fed to the cows, because of their diuretib effects. Apples are justly condemned by dairymen, excepting in very -small quantities of the sweet varieties, and even then it is a question if it would not be better to cart them to the ma- nure heap or to the cider mill rather than give them to tho Cows. The best chosen foods should be fed in moderate quantities, and at four sep- arate feeds. If a large quantity of food is crowded into the stomach, the diges- tive organs are too severely taxed, and the ease and comfort of the cow is in- teriered with. ;If he mist perfect di- gestion goes on ;in a moderately well- filled stomach, and although the cow's pancli is capacious, yet one bushel of THE = klUlkON EXPOSITOR. JANUARY 10, ism loose dry fodder, or half a bushel. of moist feed or roots, at once is sufflioje.nt. It is well to feed four times a PAW. The practice of a Well-condrAfea milk dairy is to feed at 6 (Meek 'in the morning one bushel c*,a, ellt fodder, wet- ted and mi"d '4th three quarts of feed of corn, oats and bran. At 8 o'clock Ole, cows are turned oat to water Pa' a have a picking at the straw ra•C'Lai or some loose corn fodder. At 11 'o'clock they are brought into the stable for aa hour, and are each served with half a bushel of chopped potatoes, beets or mangels, with two quarts . of feed Mixed with them. At twelve o'clock they are turned. out to water again— there being running water in the yard— and pick at the straw or fodder racks until 4.30 o'clock, when they are brought in to be milked, and after that are fed with a similar mess to that of the morning. The last thing in the evening is to give them a few pounds of loose hay. and to bed them comfortably with straw and shut them up in a stable through which ao cold draught can penetrate, but which is nevertheless broad, high, spacious and well aired. I!, is difficult to say how this method can be , mended, and if regularity be observed in feeding, and a good kind of cows are kept, the maxi- mum yield of milk, both in quantity and quality may be expected. • A Chapter on Frying. Every well-appointed kitchen should have the means of frying in two differ- ent ways: First, the common way, .where a little fat is put into the frying - pan, the article to be cooked is put in, and when done on one side is turned to the other. The quantity of fat used is only sufficient to prevent burning. Some things, which will stand rough hand - lino may be cooked in this way to a palatable condition; but breaded cut- lets and the more delicate kinds.of fish are mostly failures. For these last, and for oysters, fritters, Bengal soufftees and the like, a deep frying -pan should be used, allowing the things to be plunged. into the boiling fat. Its di- mensions Should be sufficient to cook a good-sized fish. This deep pan by no means dispenses with the shallow one for frying small things like eggsaltid. neys, steaks, etc. Its depth may be from six to eight inches, as no more fat need be put in than will well cover the article to be fried, and which may be laid. on a wire -bottomed strainer for plunging in the fat and taking out' In a common shallow frying pan small tender articlealike smelts are apt to be broken and become sodden with grease, but by plunging them in boiling fat their outside is set and forms a crust, their puhstancibecomes firm, and when l taken out they are crisp and dry. This is the way the French make such re- lishing dishes out of the coarse kinds of fish. It is necessary to have the fat hot enough, because, when boiling, it does not penetrate the solid articles of food that are lunged into it, but shuts itselfrout. at one by forming a crust, or brown case, aii over their suface. • The heating of the natural juices inside does the rest. By this means anythiug. is more quickly ciooked than by the old waf, for all sides .8,re done at once. If left too long n the fat, they will be dried up and soiled. Test the heat of the fat before putting anything to le cooked, by th owing in a crumb of bread. If it speedily turns of , a golden brown, you may begin frying at once, remembering t logs cook in this man- ner very qui° y, and must be constant- ly watched. I experienced cooks will be frightened at the quantity of fat this mode of frying requires, but it may be made to serve everattimes if strained off into a cJeai jar and covered as soon as the frying s done. Of course fat that has once fried fish should be re- served for fish only. Good frying fat can be taken from the top of soups or broths when cold. Also, the drippings from beef and pork can be used. Ren- dered beef supt or sweet pork lard. makes excellent frying fat, but fat from mutton or lamb should never be used. —Exchange. Essay on Housekeeping. Housekeeping is an art, says a con- tributor to the Edinburgh Weekly Re- view, which sho4ld be carefully studied by every yeerng woman, as she will doubtless, at some time or other, be un- der thanecessity of keeping- a house. A good housekeeper must possess the fol- lowing essential qualities : First„ be- cause most important, she must be thoroughly cleanly both in her habits and person, as carelessness in this way has caused many a sad accident. For example, when she puts away her cop- per or brass saucepans dirty, they- very soon become covered with a, green crust called verdigris, of BO poisonous a na- ture as often to cause death. A wo- man ought, therefore, to be most care- ful about the cleaning of such cooking utensils. She ought, also, to be par- ticular about the way in which she prepares food, as it is certainly very disagreeable to find dirty particles or perhaps a long hair in any dish that ap- pears on the dinner table. • Second, she should. be Orderly, not putting a thing oire day here and another day there,but attending to the good old maxim, "A place for everything, and. everything in its place," as this Nall save her a great am4uut of trouble. Third, punctuality, an important point in & housewife. She ought to have a set time for everything, rising at an early hour every morning, and getting through her various duties in the forenoon. She ought to be punctual with food, not having dinner at one o'clock to -day, and at two to- morrow, its this creates much discom- fort in a household: When a man has to wait a little on breakfast he is sure to go late to work, and consequently gots a word from his master, ancl.this; if con- tinued, may in a short time deprive him of a good situation, which, but for his wife, he might still have. enjoyed. A thoughtful housewife_will, therefore, remember " that one hour in the morn- ing is worth two through the day." Fourth — economy. Nothing shows—a housekeeper in a worse light than want of thrift. She ought to use up every scrap. It is quite a common custom in some houses where bread is left to throw it away as useless. Now, a thrifty woman would crumble the bread into -a alish, pour boiling milk over it, whisk an egg and put it in (if desired), add a little seasoning, and then put it into an oven if there is.such a useful thing in the house) . until slightly brown, and there she will = have such a nice bread pudding, with very little trouble. It has often been. said that the French are the best coO4s, be- cause they can make a diet out of al - moat a ything ; but other people might be quit as good if only they would be More c reful. We ought to be economi- cal bot in food and in dress. A wo- man th t has any sense of • what thrift is, will ot set too dainty food before her chi dren—of course, it will all de- pend i what station they are; but, if they ar poor, they ought to get cheap, but non idling food—soup, made if pos- sible with butcher meat and plenty of vegetab es—forming one of the best dinners for a. large family; but as there is no eed for giving in detail what they ca ght to eat, we shall pass on to &amid— n important consideration in a family. = As fashion is constantly changi g, it is utterly impossible for commo folks to be dressed fashionably; but thi does not matter. If they are dressed neatly, and above all, comfort- ably, it 's quite enough; IV they can be dressed becomingly, so much the bet- ter; bu 'they should be careful to dress accordi i g to their station in life. Last- ly, she tight to be of a gentle and kind disposit on; and among her other char- acterist cs she should be honest and truthfu ; and there is no doubt if she hasithi combination of good qualities she will be one of.those 'virtuous wo- -Inen" 'ho is not only precious to her family, but a blessing to all around her. • Fiftee Ora S turday, the 26th ult., says the Perthalfre Advertiser, Coupar Angus had a v sit from Mr. Henry Irving, the :great tr gedian, who had just completed a short engagement at Dundee.

Eatab e birds' nests are found for the most pa t in the islands of Java, Boa. neo, Su • atra and the Celebees.

What sort of a thing, t is the eatable bird's nest that the wealthy Chinese are so fond of? It is tha portion of the fabric which serves a a sort of bracket, on which the real nes (made of grass, seaweed' fibres, small le ves, &ea) is built. It is trans- parent, omewhat like isinglass. It was formerly supposed that this gelatine - like sub ance was prepared by the bird. from sea veed and other marine plants; this, ho ever, is a mistake. Dr. Bern- stein ha found that the glands under the tong e of the bird are of a great size. 0 opening the bill they are seen as two I: rge swellings, one on either side, an these chiefly supply the ma- terial = fo • making the. brackets. The bird sec tes in them a soft gum -like substaaic , which can be drawn out of the mou h in long threads, and in the air it so.n dries and is found to be the same, ev n when viewed. through the microsc spe, as the bracket material.
