find lmperiect and shallow plowmg,in

others suffer from late seeding," others
are hurriedly and wastingly harvested

in the soil as in theo cultivation .and

Of the law.' A peasant having tried
0 defraud the authorities, by carrying
off. a bag of ..salt, was. discovered, and
pursued. In his anxiety to es'cane tho
puni&hment which would be inSicted if
the bag was discovered, he threw it
Into hta manure" tank.. After' all rise
of .exposure had' disappeared.:, he
thought that his liquid manure caustic
greatly injured by the salt; and accord
ingly diluted the mixturo largely .whli
water. : To his gtcat surprise he found
hat 'the grass was , better and ' more
readily eaten by stock on that part of
his " meadow where tho liquid manure
wa3 applied containing the $alt thari
those portions, which were irrigated hjr
the ordinary liquid manure. Salt is
very' beneficial in soils liable to" suffer
from drought, as on dry hillsides. ' It
should be first mixed with earth. '.Its
effects are most apparent on peas, and
leguminous plants of every, kind, 'or
roots,- potatoes, -carrots," etc... It has

when drained.
