Under the Auspices of the 'federation of the Lancashire Farmers' Association, Eng. land, a lecture was given in the Technical School, Blackburn, by Mr. W. Chrimas, of Winsford, Cheshire, upon "The Use of Snit in Agriculture," which we give, as fol- lows The lecturer said the subject of salt was ono of the most importaub that could be brought before an agricultural or soientilc audience. It was astonishing that a sub- stance which might be called a life preserver of mac and beast should be un- derstood or valued so little. Cato in 150 B. C. recommended salt for preserving hay and washing scabby sheep. Virgil mentioned it as beneficial to cattle. In 1748 Dr. Browning wrote : "It fertilizes tho soil ; it arises in vegetables and from them is conveyed to animals ; 11 is the ani. venal condiment of nature, beneficial to all creatures endowed with life," When it was discovered that a large quantity of salt was present in the blood of man and other anjmalo (there being more than 50 per oont of salt in the ash of blood), its importance to life was at once perceived All animals were fond of sale. In the United Status of America the herbs of wild oattlo would travel hundreds of miles in search of salt marshes, or "salt Bake." In our own country cattle were found to prefer snit marshes, Cattle kept without salt suffered greatly, and lumps of rock salt should be kept within their reach at all times. Healthy action of the organs could not exist without salt being introduced into the system. The proportion of salt in the blood was fixed, and if sufficient was not given in the food, the required quantity was drawn off from the tissues, abnormal waste took place, and sooner or later an animal would go wrong. Salt was must valuable and reliable as a preventive of diseases and epidemic's. In support of this statement he read a pamphlet by the Beare- ,tary of the Aspatria Farmers' Club. Al. though salt was much dearer on the Con. 1 d Client than with us, it was far more largely used there than in England. Many yeah ago the French Government appointed a commission to investigate the question r of salt. The report presented said that salt should be given to re. place the saline parts washed cue by boiling and steaming ; that salt counteracted the effects of wet pastures upon sheep and prevented rot ; that it in- creased saliva, assisted digestion and has- tened fattening. One of the principal reasons why salt was good for tattooing cattle wos that it made them eat and drink better. To young oxen many fanners give one to two ounces of salt per day, and to old oxen 'two to three ounces per day,but for fatteningoattlefive to six ouneesporday was not too much. Fee a young horse an ounce a day wao about enough, and two minces for an old Horse. Old animals required more salt than young,ones, as waste was more rapid with them. Horses when over - fatigued sometime= lost their appetite ; a handful of salt well mixed with oats would restoie the appetite, 'Salt improved the coats of horses. The Romana gave their flocks of sheep a regular allowance of salt, and it was almost a law with them that this gnanthty should be observed, Experimoute proved that salt was more valuable to sheep than to other animals, as it improved the quantity and quality of . their'wool,prevented rot and other diseases. It; was advisable to scatter ground rook sale over the pastures; it sweetened the herbage, and the animals liked to taote the salt. Al- though the value of salt as a manure was generally admitted, its use was compara- tively limited, chiefly because its chomical action on the soil was not clearly uuder- stood, and the great solvent power of cholorfde in setting other substances free had been overlooked, The use of salt as a Manure began very early in the East, and was practised by the Hebrews and Chinese many centuries before the Christian ora. Lord Bacon in the 17th century reoommend- ed the mea of salt and water for land ; and Sir IXugh Platt acid that manure laid en barren ground would fail to enrich the same but for the salt present in it. Be - tore fixing the quantity of salt to be applied, they should oarefully consider the conditions of the soil, what manures had been proviouely used, and what crepe had been raised. Sandy soils required more salt than rich, heavy, loamy soil., Salt consisted of two-thirdo chloride and one-third sodium. The solvent powers of sodium chloride were twenty times greater than those of rain water in slotting free and breaking up the particles of the soil. An experiment had been made to tort the rel- ative solvent powers of rain water and of a solution of 10 per cent, of east, and it was ( found that while the rain water dissolved a total of 1,395 pounds of minerals, the tall solution diseolved 2,975 pounds, In cereals there woe a large preponderance of plloeg pho'lo acid, amounting to nearly 50 per emit, in wheat and oats, end nearly 90 per tent, in barley. In all roots there was a largo preponderance of potash, in potatoes reaching nearly 50 per dent, It hay and clover themost important teusbituonts wore potash, lime and silica, The straw of oeroais contained nearly half as much potash as the grain, and a very large quantity of silloa, That explained why rode and grasses should follow cereals, am they did not bake out the same elements. It was not dillieult to decide what kind of manure they should use for any crop. (''arm yard manure was by far the best and most powerful, as it gave back to the soil inost of the substances that had been taken frons it. If they sprinkled tot regularly on the manure heap they bheeeby fixed the ammonia, width was the most valuable ahemioal for the land, but very volatile, and liable to be lost unless moans were taken to preserve it, Besidos that, salt destroyed millions of noxious vermin in manure, All manures ehettid bo mixed with salt, as it solved and set free many of the mineral and organic substances which would otherwise lie dormant and useless in the soil. Nitrate of soda required about two cwt. of Balt to one cwt, of nitrate before using, guano about half a cwt, of Balt to each cwt, of guano, euperphoephates about two to three cwt. of salt per aero, or equal goon. titles of enporphosphates and salt, There was an impression that white salt being so soluble, it was quickly washed off the land into the drains. That idea was very erroneous, only the surplus salt being washed off the land. The salt absorbed moisture from the atmosphere, and hold it in the soil. It destroyed all kinds of worms, slugs and vermin, oopeoially the turnip fly and the worm that did such damage on the oats, Salt increased the solvent power of rain water, it made hard and stubborn soils easier to work, and de- stroyed all kinds of canker in soils. It made sour grass sweet and palatable; and in cereals it abreegthened and sweetened the straw; manures mixed with it were much more effective; for root, crops, or light and dry land, it could not be too strongly recom- mended for its solvent and absorbent prop- erties. Salt did nob enter plants as a watery solution, but formed new chemical oombina- tione in the soil. it was proved that the presence of soda in the soil or manure was necessary to get wheat and barley in bloom and seed ; and oats, though they would get into ears and bloom without salt, would not bear seed. Silica was moat lint portant for strengthening the straw of cereals, and thus preventing them from being laid by weather, and as salt was the only substance which had the chemical power of separating silica, they would coo the importance of Balt for nourishing the seems of cereals. --^ Farm Notes. Be surd and put all tools carefully uuder shelter before they ars rusted or otherwise damaged. In building corn cribs, rise the floors from the ground high enough to prevent rats harboring under them. Provide enough bedding for your animals so they will be comfortable 1n cold weather. Leaves, straw, ate., are good. Continue tile draining until you are done or the weather stops further work. Under. drains, well pat in, always pay. Treat the farm hand humanely but im. press upon him that his work must be dune regularly, honestly and thoroughly, Attend the Literary Society if there is one in your neighborhood; take port, and thus benefit others as well as yourself. Have a box in the back part of the corn wagon and into it throw the best formed ears. Dry these and put in a secure place for seed next seaeou, Try stacking some of your corn fodder this year and see ho ,v much more valuable ie is thou when left in the field to be dam- aged by the weather. Olean up about the barn and yards removing all manure and rubbish defore it freezes. It can not then be handled an d will be a nuisance all Winter. If the straw has been stacked where stook can run about it ',fence now before the ground freezes. Use boards, rails, slats, or such like, but never wire, as some of the animals are sure to be injured upon it before the Winter is over. Elven This Shall Pass Away.

'171e Gauls Unable to Keep Up with the Kurd Headed (Muscovites. Paris correspondence tells of the extraor• dinary increase of drunkenness in Paris caused by the Russians, or rather by the duties the French took upon themselves as entertainers. There was a great deal of talk before the Russians arrived as to the rules and regulations of the administration of hospitality, and this is the receipt that was adopted for rendering Russian guests happy. If you invite a Russian to dinner make a point of offering him before he takes his Beat at the table certain hors d'reuvres, and above all do not forget to a000mpany these with a dram of spirits. The stronger the latter the higher the Russian guest will esteem his entertainer, who must pour the cognac out himself, not into a liquor glass, but into a Bordeaux glass, and it is indis- pensable that he should drama the entire bunker to the health of his guest before the latter has time to put the glass to ,tie lips. Rath time you make a speech at dinner, or at any other repast, be careful to have your glass filled to the brim before you begin speaking, and the moment you have con- cluded your remarks drain your glass to the very last drop at a gulp, since if the slight- est heeltap remains, it means in the eyes of the Rumens that your remarks have been insincere." This was followed to the letter. The Russians stood up to their duties amazing- ly, but the French fell fast, and a letter written just as the Russians had departed says : It is almost impossible to meet a Frenchman at thepresent moment who does not complain of suffering from what he de- licately terms'une all'reuse migraine,' which he accompanist with expressive gestures and plaintive exolamatione of 'ma pave tete, ma pauvro tote' (my poor head, my poor head)."

Mr, Robert hfachray, of Montreal, who went recently to investigate the silver dis- briot of West Kootenay, B.C., has returned to that city. In an interview Mr. Maehray said : "The.

It Is Pleasant to the Taste as the Sweetest Nectar.., It is Safe and harmless as the Purest Milk. This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced into this country by the proprietors and manufacturers of the Great South American Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative agent has long been known by a few of the most )earned physicians, who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of the general public. This medicine has completely solv,3 the problem of the cure of indi- gestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of failing health from whatever cause. It performs this by the great nervine tonic qualities which it possesses, and by its great curative powers upon the digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strength- ener of the life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a broken-down constitution, It is also of more real permanent value in the treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs than any consumption r"tnecly ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nery- „usness of females of all ages, Ladies who are approaching the critical period known as change in life, should not fail to use this great Nervine Tonic, almost constantly, for the space of two or three years. It will carry them safei•y over the danger. This great strengthener and cura- tive is of inestimable value to the aged and infirm, because its great energizing pmpertiesbwill give then a new hold on life. It will add ten or fifteen years to the lives of many of those who will use a half dozen bottles of the remedy each year.

Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges- tion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con- tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair • the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied: This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous de- rangement. calw0000017LLn, I00., Aug. 20, 'S0, To theea (freed Swrda A n,nricoa any to ,u Co.: Dean fared f .
