" I have great pleasure ia being able to give a most satisfactory report ol tue .eSect of Mr. Curweri'a experiments, as to the use of salt for all Ri lids of caitie. He has just received a report t'ruiu his feeder, dated February 3, IS 18, which is as follows : fhe following is a correct statement of youc experiments, i it giving salt to the' cattle under iny care, bcgi;iing. November 10, 1817 Prom that time tilt now, your cattle, have had salt as br?lovr; foity cows and breeding heifers have had each four ounces per dayj forty three young and fat cattle, each three ounces ; eighteen wonting oxen,, 'eacft( lour ounces j twenty one heifers and oxen of one year old; each two oun ces twenty young calves, one ounce each ; and each horse employed at the farm, colliery, &c. nas nau iour ounces per iay. tour hundred and forty-four sheep have had fourstone.oi two ounces each per week, given at twice and on slates, l ne advantage t salt lor sheep appears to be great, as we have had none died since we commenced giving salt In other years we l ist some of our youiij ewes and. wethers, in wliat we call the sickness. Our cow, &c. have their salt given in steamed chatf, twice a day, which makes thenat it up, as well as other inferior food. The horses have their salt ffivan amongst . their steamed potatoes, twice a day : wnich makes thejen clean out their cribs, and is a great benefit to their health and condition. Uur cattle have been in the highest health ever since we eouiuien.ced the use of salt. I have now kept your cattle lor ten yeuia and thev were nsn-er so long without some sickness j they lvcie. loiuieijf suujcui to ooairuciions, luiiatnnia -.... V, 11 nous, o.o. i nave uui uau occasion to use any medicine since Uie zvthvol November last ; and I can now show 125 head of cattle, without the exception ol any -one animal that is outof order. 1 believe there is nothing that will promote the health of cattle and their good condition more tuau salt, when rightly administered." ' it will appear by this report that the njanti ty ol salt which Mr. Curwen ha?, given to his cattle, with the most complete suecesf. is more tliau double what lovd So nerville used.

Seveial of them have applied to Mr. Curwen for some of his salt for their own cattle ; but the severity, of the conditions, aud the amount of the penalties, have prevented him from . being able to accom modate them. The neighboring farmers have uuited in a petition to the house of commons, which was presented yesterday : statins that they are prevented from availing themselves of tne permission to use salt (or cattle fart anted hv the late act of parliament) by the heaviness of L.'J..l.
