Qrr nov—I have a lot of refuse salt on hand. Would you advise putting it in my compost heap, and if so, in what proportion? Ax -iv/kb—S trictly speaking, salt is not a fertilizer, as an analysis shows it to contain little or no plant food. From ancient t.mfifi, however, down to the present day ;t has boon applied to land generally with beneficial results, so that experience, our best teacher, indorses its use. On lands that are near enough to the sen to receive the salt spray, which st orm: >fton carry to a consider able distance inland, or on such lands as contain chlorine and soda in any form, salt would have no appreciable effect,-but on soiis of an opposite char actM-an application of salt is frequently very beneficial. By some means its presen' br.aqs about a chemical change in the soil which renders available an additional amount of plant food for the growing crops. Not only this, but the great, affinity it has for water causes it to attract from the dews and the vapors of the atmosphere an amount of mois¬ ture, which, in a drouth, enables the crops to : is t to sonic extent, the effects of the dry weather. A liberal applica su of salt is said also to prevent rust i a cotton, though this is not well es tubli-hed. An additional benefit to bo derived from an application of salt is that it kilt-: the larvae of many noxious insects, such as cutworms, etc. I would advise you to usa it in your compost hea.n, in such proportion as that from 6 to 10 bushe* vail be applied to the aers. —Sum Agrauitura!
