Salt on the Farm.
About twenty years ago the Royal Agri
cultural Society of England offered a prize
of £ 100 for the best essay on the use of salt
in agriculture, and the essay which took the
prize recommended the following quantities
per acre in pounds:

Salt makes the best showing in crops in
dry season, says a writer in the Farm and
Fireside. During seasons of drought its
usefulness is set forth as follows: Salt
makes the best showing in dry seasons.
’lhe results are then very plainly seen. No
o n e can doubt the good effects of salt while
looking at a salted croj while growing in
dry weather. I had a Held in pasture. The
soil was rather light and thin, and the dry
weather of last year burnt it so badiy that
it did not recover, so I concluded to put it
in corn, followed by wheat, and seed it down
again. I had no manure to cover it, so I
mixed 300 pounds of superphosphate with
400 pounds of salt and applied the mixture
at the rate of 250 pounds par acre, at
a a cost of $1 87 per acre. All
through July and August without rain it
stood green and hearty, while my own and
my neighbor’s corn that had not been
salted, burnt up and amounted to nothiug
or almost nothing. My salted corn yielded
75 bushels of good, sound corn, while the
unsaJted went about 25 bushels of miserable
poor corn to the acre.
As an insecticide salt found an admirer
whose experience is interesting: In the
spring of 1885 I plowed and planted 30 acres
to corn. Twenty acres of the lot were
clover broken and planted to corn in 1884.
The rest of the field—lo acres —was moved
in 1884 and plowed in the spring of 1885
with the remainder. We were two days
planting the field, and 1 saw no worms
while planting the 20 acres, but found the
10 acres alive with half-grown out worms.
The men planting it declared that I would
not get a hill of corn on that part of the
field. The next day after the corn was
planted I had 250 pounds of salt per acre
sowed broadcast on the 10 acres, and, with
my neighbors, who were very much inter
ested in the experiment, awaited results.
The corn came up and grew right along; no
worms bothered it; not a single hill on the
salted part was cut by worms, while that
part of the field where I expected no trou
ble was fully half cut down and it had to
be replanted, some parts of it the second
time. I harvested more corn from the 10
acres that had been salted than from the
rest of the field and the fodder was a great
deal better. I sowed the field to wheat and
seeded it down, and had more wheat to the
acre and of better quality on the salted
than on the unsalted part. I had a good
catch of clover and timothy on the ten
acres, while I lost the seeding entirely on
the twenty acres, owing to the very dry
weather in June and July, 1886, and I was
forced to plow it up and put it in wheat
again. The balance of the field yielded
something over two tons of hay per acre.
Onion tops,salt and cowyard|manure make
good onions. Onions have made good crops
planted on the same ground 100 years in
succession. They are an exception in re
gard to rotation of crops.
Salt water should not be sprinkled on
tender plants of any kind. [The writer has
used a handful of salt to ten quarts of
water with good effect on cabbage plants
after they are transplanted, and on much
older plants he has used much more salt to
the gallon. It drove off worms effectually
and did not injure the plants.]
Salt s lould not be used on cold clay landss.
It has a tendency to hold moisture and make
lands cooler.
Salt in moderate doses is beneficial to
nearly all plant life, and notably to turnips,
rape and cabbages; but it is to its qualities
as a destroyer of insect pests and a preventer
of disease that much attention should be
given.
Prof. L, B. Arnold, our best American
authority on dairy matters, if not the best
in the world, says: “Salt ought atall times
to enter into the food of the dairy cow, and
it should be kept where she can partake of
it ad libitum. Both the quantity and the
quality of the milk are considerably affected
by withholding salt till the cows get hungry
for it. Cows, in the season of lactation, re
quire more salt than at other times, and
those that give the most milk require the
most of it. In somo experiments in June it
was found that by letting the cows go with
out salt for five days they fell off in their
milk 2 per cent, in quantity and 7 per cent,
in quality, making a loss of 9 per cent, on the
cheese, which was at once restored by sup
plying salt again.”
The quantity of salt required varies with
the food and other conditions. The com
mission of the French government recom
inendo 1 2 ounces a day for a working ox or
a milch cow. Dr. Fhipson, an English
authority, says a milch cow requires 4
ounces of salt a day.
Look After Your Cattle.
As cold weather approaches, snys the
Nevv Orleans Picayune, the cattlo of the
gulf stati s will begin to retreat to the cane
brakes, the creek timber bottoms, the
swamps, and to hump up on the sunny side
of old fences and old barns and wind brakes,
and they will soon have to depend on dry
grass, gray moss and browso to keep from
freezing and to avoid starvation between
v ember and March.
llMiasissippi alone has over 600,000 head of
oxen, milch cows and other cattle, besides
nhout 250,000 horses and mulos and over
eOU.OOO shoep, yot in 1879 she made, ac
cording to the census of 1880, but 9,319 tons
of hay. The corn, foddor and shucks on all
farms of the state would not supply
fougb forage for the mules and horses. And
a " of these, including the sheep, are hay
eating animals. The crop of hay in 1879
Would give 31 pounds to every horned ani-
f lla * i n the state, leaving out the sheep,
>0! sos and mules altogether. This would
" ft hout one day’s feed for each animal’s
subsistence from November until March.
the result of this state of things is that
"! ' ,ltiS itsippi and the other gulf states tens
0 thousands, and sometimes hundreds of
1 ‘on-ends of cattle die in one winter from
j'Maisure to tne weather and starvation.
sufferings of these neglected animals
"'’have of tan alluded to. Those unac
quainted with the winter quarters and
winter food of such animals in these
states, the only food they have to sustain
life until the grass rises in March and
April, can have no conception of the intense
and long continued agonies that these
wretched creatures suffer. The old cows
and weak animals that die early in the win
ter are the most fortunate, for they avoid
frost and rain and sleet, and busks, stubble,
Spanish moss and browse that keep stronger
animals from dying, and prolong their ter
rible sufferings.
In the opon prairies of Texas, without
shelter summer or winter, there were at
least 3,000,000 out of the 4,000,000 head
owned by the stock owners of the state that
had no cane brakes or river bottomi or
wind brakes of any kind to shelter them
during the “northers” and “blizzirds.”
They lie down in the tiiickest grass they can
find, and their backs have to take the pelt
ing storm and blizzard, rain and sleet, day
and night, their only food the dead grass of
the prairies.
And Texas, in 1879, made less than 50,000
tons of hay for 4,000,000 cattle, 805,000
horses, 133,000 head of mules, and 2,411,000
sheep; over 7,000,000 head of hay eating
animals, about 14 pounds a head for each
animal, for the whole winter.
Mississippi needs a hundred times more
hay than she now makes. A ton of hay for
every cowand ox, and for every five sheep,
would put a stop to most all of this yearly
suffering and death among the cattle. It
would do more—fed out in bad weather as
needed, in barns and comfortable sheds, it
would give the farmers immeuse quantities
of manure that is now nearly lost to the
farms and the state. It would secure an
abundance of fat beef and fat mutton, and
milk and butter, and the milk would help
feed the families of the farmers the year
round, and feed the poultry and pigs,
which can be but poorly done without hay
and manure in abundance. Next to a full
corn house, is barns crowded with good hay,
aud stacks besides.
Cattle in cold latitudes, in New England
and Canada, live through cold winters on
hay alone, and come out in the spring in
good order. Less than half the hay per head
needed in these cold climates would carry
cattle through in the gulf states in full
strength and fine health.
Extensive Farming.
Many farmers do not understand how to
reduce their fields and increase their harv
ests, says a writer in the Southern Cultiva
tor. Ido not intend to go into a long and
labored scientific exposition of the means
and methods required to accomplish this,
but propose to give some plain, practical
advice to govern the farmer who may de
termine to adopt, as a rule of action, smaller
fields and larger harvests.
1. Begin by laying off one-half of the
land you have usually cultivated and se
cure it from stock by a good fence. When
this is done realize that your great objectis to
make that half of your farm produce more
the first year than the whole did the last
year. Now go earnestly and industriously
to work to make this result certain.
2. Gather together in one common mass
everything which may help to form a valu
ble compost. To prevent waste place your
material for the compost heap in a ditch
dug for the purpose, and into it dump all
the scrapings from your wood yard, stable,
cow and sheep lots, and, in fact, every other
available substance. Keep this up until
your ditch is nearly filled, when you should
prepare a similar receptacle for the future
accumulations. The compost mass should
be kept sufficiently moist to promote fer
mentation; cover it so as to protect it
from the sun, and also secure it from the
rains.
3. If you raise cotton to any extent, see to
it that all the seed, except those required for
the next year’s planting, are returned to
the soil by which they were produced. Avoid
the folly of selling to the oil mills unless
you are sufficiently near to substitute the
cotten seed meal or cake for the whole seed,
and in such quantities as will give you the
advantage in the exchange.
4. Turn over all of the land in the
fall which you intend to cultivate the fol
lowing year, being careful to cover all the
vegetable accumulations that are on the
surface.
sth. Apply your compost and other fer
tilizers (if the compost heaps are not suf
ficient) early iu the year so that when the
time for planting comes you may put in
your seed with the assurance that your land
is possessed of more than double the pro
ducing power of the last year, and you will
be likely to realize a greater harvest from
half the laud, half the labor and half the
expense involved in the production of last
year’s crop.
6. Coutinno to increase the fertility of
your land, from year to year, for five years,
and at the end of this period you can esti
mate your farm at SIOO per acre, iustead of
$5 or $lO, which was its intrinsic and com
mercial value when you adopted as a rule of
action “Smaller fields and larger harvosts.”
You may also congratulate yourself that
you have increased your harvests at muca
less labor and expense, having had abun
daut opportunity to improve your buildings
and pay greater attention to your domestic
animals, fowls, etc.
Plowing.
Maj. Paul F. Hammond of South Caro
lina has written a lengthy article on plow
ing, and the following is an extract from it:
“It is exceedingly difficult to lay down any
gonoral rule of practice in agriculture
which is not subject to so many exceptions
that the rule, except in the hands of the
skilled planter, who does not need it, be
comes valueless if not dangerous. Perhaps
tho nearest we can approximate a rulo on
the policy of deop breaking and turning is
this: Where manure is used largely, the land
should be plowed very deep; where it is used
moderately plowing of moderate depth is
the best, and whore little or no manure is
used then, on our common thin soils, the
plow should bo run shallow. But then it must
not bo forgotten that wet lauds snallow
manures without returning any value
therefor to tho same degreo that they do the
value of the labor expended on deep plow
ing; it must not be forgotton that in turning
up to the surface two or three inches of
harsh clay you run the risk of ruiuing your
seed bod, and whon it is known that to cover
an acre with manure to the depth of one
inyh requires about 3-100 bushels, it will be
seen what immense quantities are required
to restore that seed bed to a proper condi
tion; it must bo known also that the fact is
now considered established that small grain
sowed in the fall of the year, aud possibly
all winter-grown crops, are subjected to in
jury, and in cold winters to destruction, no
matter how well manured, by deep break
ing. Land should not be brokon more than
three inches for autumn-sown wheat, say
tho northwestern farmers, because its roots
are shallow and yet they need to reach solid
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, DECEMBER 1(1, 1888.
darkness; but perhaps it is better reason
ing to say that the open soil lets iu the cold,
while by deeper breaking the capillary at
traction is increased, and with the moisture
and evaporation which follow a much lower
degree of cold is superinduced, aud the
grain is winter killed. But rich, deep, well
drained soils can hardly be plowed too deep,
except for winter graiu, whether manured
or not.
"Having decided then that wet lands and
lands with a stubborn subsoil of clay and
those intended to grow winter crops, espe
cially crown rooted small grain, and all thiu
soils where no manure or but little is used,
should not be plowed and turned deep, the
question follows naturally what soils should
be plowed deep. Let me say, and repeat
time and again, that with our broad areas,
with our lack of experience in careful
studiesof thecostof work, with the as yet
undemonstrated values in our climate and
on our soils of what may bo considered the
best methods elsewhere, and with the pres
ent low prices of our great staples, the pru
dent man will move forward slowly, count
ing carefully the cost of .every step, weighig
carefully not only expense by
which results are obtained, but studying as
well as ne can the far more abstruse aud at
least equally important questions of their re
lations to labor, to transportation, to manu
factures and the statqs qf qjqr products iu
the markets of the .cheapen pro
duction and enhance values are the true ob
jects to pursue. But to increase production
and the costs while values are falling leads
to humiliation, subjugation, poverty, slav
ery, and is folly too egregious for any but a
visionary southern ootton planter.”
Insanity oh tiny Far m.
There has been iff,372 persons admitted to
the insane asylums of lowa up to July 1.
1887, and of these 2,305 were farmers. In
the asylum at Independence 209 farmers,
158 farmer's’ wives or daughters, and only 7
professional men and 7 wives of the same
were admitted. What sort of humdrum
farmers can those be who so miss the buoy
ant spirits and robust health which is nat
ural to farm life? Their brains might well
be exercised even more healthfully than
those of professional men. What has ren
dered them stagnant and deranged ?
The dull quietness and stupefying isola
tion in which some grumpy farmers live
has doubtless much to do with this. Many
an unlucky boy of excellent disposition and
latent ability, but slow, as many of the
greatest men have been in childhood, is
rendered stupid and hopeless by being told
continually that ho is a fool, and so made
the butt of constant ridicule and pounding.
The brightest mind will go down under such
treatment, and women are perhaps oftener
guilty of this murderous curelty than men
are.
Educating- Horses.
Taking a tilt at this now common subject
the editor of the Indiana Farmer remarks
that when a green colt is first put into har
ness he naturally makes a great many awk
ward moves and get himself into “shapes”
that will not add to his value if they become
chronic: Much of this awkwardness wears
away in time as the young horse gets into
the line of his work, but it often happens
through want of care on the part of his
driver that certain coltish tricks that came
from awkwardness in the first place cling to
him all through life. It is easier to teach a
young horse what you want him to do than
to break up bad habits which he may have
contracted, so it is very important to com
mence right with him.
Farm and Stock Notea.
As hens require a deal of water, drinking
only a small quantity at a time, it should
be supplied abundantly and kept clean ami
fresh.
Many are under the impression that fat
beus lay the most eggs. This is an error.
They should be kept in a good condition and
no more. If too fat they become lazy and
unprolific.
A good barn means protection to your
stock, protection to your feed and a preven
tion of waste, protection to the farmer iii
caring for his stock; economy in time, econ
omy in labor, comfort, convenience and
every tiling desirable.
Every farmer’s kitchen should be warm,
and the doors should fit close and be pro
vided with a storm door at outside door. It
should also be well underpinned, so that
the floor will ba warm and the good house
wife or hired girl may not suffer with cold
feet.
There is no dodging the fact that the
American arbor vitie is the best all round
tree for an evergreen hedge. Its hardiness,
densely obtained by shearing, and its rapid
growth alone recommends it for the general
purpose hedgo above all coniferous competi
tors.
Louisiana, Georgia aud Texas annually
plant a greater area in sugar cane'than
Florida, yet in tho matter of production of
sugar Florida ranks third, ad of molasses
second. Florida’s annual output of sugar
is 1,273 hogsheads, and of molasses, 1,029,-
868 gallons.
It is an admirable practice to plant groves
of trees in pasture grounds to provide
shade for stock, but such groves must be
protected by fences until the foliage is above
the reach of cattle and the trunks ot the
trees are largo enough rot to be liable to
injury by tho cattle rubbing against them.
Horses can, of course, stand more expo
sure in cold weather than men, but the same
kind of exposure that produces colds, rheu
matism, etc., iu men, will be liable to alloc:,
borsos in tli osame way. It is, therefore, ap
paieut that warm stables, good blankots
and protection from severe weather are
necessary.
Vinos are of some service. Tho potato
vino contains a large amount of potash, a .and
should be added to the manure heap. Tho
vino of tho sweet potato and poa is loadily
eaten by stock, as also the tops of many
roots that ure grown. If all such material
was carefully saved and fed it would pro
duce many thousands of pounds of moat.
