AGRICULTURAL.
Salt as a Fertilizer.
An inquirer of the .'New York Tribune
wants to know how much salt can be used
pel acre with benefit, anJ whether fish salt
in as good or better than common salt ; to
which Prof. S.'T. Johnson gives the scien
tific answer as follows:
A to the quantity that ma be applied
per acre, that depends upon the crop and
the climate. On asparagus, several hundred
bushels may be used without harm. On
ngar beets and tobacco, large applications
will often promote growth, sometimes won
derfully; but the beets will not yield their
MUgar, aud the tobacco will not make good
smoke. On grain crops, five to fifteen
busbela per acre, and in England, larger
quantities have been used. More can be
safely employed iu moist climates or sea
sous than in dry. Ten bushels is perhaps
the happy medium adapted for an experi
mental trial. So much for the quantity
that "can be used per acre."
Now, something more as to how much
may be used "with benefit." Salt acts upon
the crop, for the most part, in an indirect
manner. Il does not contribute greatly to
the growth of plants by its own elements,
sodium and chlorine, neither of which are
needed by agricultural plants in much
quantity. It is therefore frequently of no
perceptible advantage. Sometimes, how
ever, a moderate dressing produces remark
able effects. In the soil, salt, like most
saline fertilizers is capable of working
chemical changes that may be useful to a
crop. It dissolves or displaces one or more
elements of nutrition from combinations
which the plant cannot overcome, and ren
ders tbem available. This fact has been
demonstrated by numerous chemical inves
tigations. Heiden, Pet ers, Jones and Frank
have each made comparative trials on vari
ous soils as to the kind and amount of mat
ter dissolved from them by a given quanti
ty of weak salt solution, compared with
that dissolved by pure water.
The results differ according to the soil
experimented upon, but the general fact is
that salt considerably increases the solvent
power of water for lime, magnesia, potash,
oxide of iron, and humus, especially for the
two first named. It is plain, then, that cer
tain soils may give better crops for a dress
ing of salt, because the salt by its indirect
action is equivalent to ah addition of lime,
magnesia or potash. If, however, these are
sufficiently supplied by the soil itself the
addition of salt is a detriment, because it
makes these elements soluble, only to be
washed out by the rain. When we have a
deep and heavy (clayey or loamy) soil,
which contains at a depth below the reach
of tillage stores of plant food which are too
slow in becoming ol avail to crops, we enn
use salt to make them more speedily servi
ceable ; we can iu fact manure the subsoil
indirectly by its application to the surface.
The fact that the ocean is so salt ; that in
other words three-fourths of the mutters
dissolved in it are chloride of sodium, shows
that soils leave little retentive or absorptive
powers for the elements, sodium and chlo
rine. Direct experiment confirms the fact
that of all the saline compound found in
the soil-water, common salt is one which is
in general least fixed or absorbed by Alter
ation through earth. liy virtue of this
solubility it is adapted to penetrate parts of
the boil wheie no tillage can upturn, and
where no manure can be put, and by its
chemical action there, to feed the long
rooted plants, like clover, beets, tfcc, which
otherwise might be insufficiently nourished.
These remarks upon its mode of action
are mnde to explain the fact of practice
that salt more often gives no result than a
good one, also to show under what circum
Ktanocs it .nay be advisable to try it, and
to make evident that our knowledge of the
conditions that govern its working is so in
complete that experiment alone can be de
pended upon to determine whether it will
operate advantageously in any given case.
'Fbdi salt" is neither better nor worse than
ordinary salt.
Lard as an Unaruent.
Ibis well known that rubbing the body
with. hog's tat has the effect of reduced the
temperature of the skin in scarlet fever. A
gentleman of our acquaintance has used the
fat portion of smoked ham with beneficial
results, and writes to the editor to dissemi
nate the fact for others' benefit. A cele
brated German physician recommends to
incorporate one or two grammes of carbolic
acid into one hundred gramm s of lard, and
with this to rub the whole body, excepting
the head, two or three times a day, accord
ing to the intensity of inflammation charac
terizing the case in hand. The effect of this
kind of treatment is to produce a pleasant
feeling of coolness, to keep the ckin sol'ter,
ftnd after each application the temperature
of the skill falls somew hat. The carbolic
acid operates to destroy the germs ami
Spores of the disease.

affected tooth.

Curry Comb. Card and Brash.:
There: i a world 'of - comfort and- down
right luxury in a good scratch, both for hu
man people and for domestic animals. : Posts
and bars for rubbing and scratching should
be put up in pastures and barnyards, and
kept'moderatcly rough so as to take hold of
the skin.
But our principal object in this present
writing is o insist on a more free use of the
currj-comb and brush, upon-, horses and
cattle, at all seasons. These stable imple
ments are not used as often and regularly
as they should be by the generality of far
mers. A good dressing down of the horse
each morning with the curry-comb and
brush is fully equal in health-giving power
and elasticity of movement, to quarts of
oats. It is a grateful attention, repaid
many fold by the animal which is the stated
recipient of it.
But while bestowing this care upon the
horse, as most persons do, knowing itsiene
ficial effects, they very generally seem to
forget that oxen and cows are equally bene
fitted by a daily application of the card.
There is no room for doubt on this subject,
with those who have been accustomed to
bestow this attention to the dairy ami work
ing stock. A free use of the card gives re
pose to the animals, enables them to enjoy
and digest their food in quiet, instead of
raking their bodies against posts, trees and
fences, as opportunity offers, for allaying
the irritation, produced by an accumulation
of dust, hay-seed and other irritants common
to the stable and barn-yard. Even young
colts, calves and yearlings are greatly bene
fitted by the use of the card; while its daily
use is a step in the breaking or training
process by which the services of the animals
are made more readily available when pro
perly matured for labor.
It seems absurd to scrub a fattening
porker, but those who have practised it con
cur in its utility. One reason why hogs
like to immerse themselves iu pools of stag
nant water is found iu the fact that their
bodies become incrusted with dirt, causing
an itching which the pool they ssek allays.
This irritation renders them restless, and
retards the process of fattening very mate
rially. This can be prevented by an appli
cation of soap suds, aided by a splint broom
commonly used fur eleaning stables and
cross walks. A liberal application of suds,
ami a good scrubbing daily, will allay irri
tation, and give that repose to the animals
which is essential to a steady and rapid ac
cumulation of flesh aud fatty matter. The
labor of preparing and applying the wash,
at least once a day during the milder por
tions of the season, will be amply remuner
ated in the increased weight of the animals
when the Slaughtering season arrives.

SEND GREETING:
Too well and favorably known in North and

and too long established (since 18.17) the Proprietors
deem it unnecessary in again coming before the
public and soliciting their patronage to go into a
long flourish as to their immense stock and com
mensurate WILL and ability to sell Goods LOW.
We therefore content ourselves by simply an
nouncing that our business having increased $200,-
000 in one j'ear, and Charlotte having additional
Railroad facilities warrants us in still more increas
ing our stock.
We shall have in store by the 10th of September
a stock of three hundred thousand dollars, (300,000,)
consisting of full lines of every class of goods that
go to make a complete assortment for a Store, which
we offer to the trade at competing prices with any
Jobbing House from New York to New Orleans.
All we ask, come, and we will make good the above
assertion.
Merchants in Xorth Carolina have the additional
advantage, that by buying in the State, they have no
purchase Tax to pay.
We also have a retail department, where we keep
everything from common to the very best. Also,

CATHARTIC PILLS,
For all the purposes of a Family Physic,
Curing Costiveness, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Indiges
tion, Dysentery, Foul Stomach and Breath, Erysipe
las, Headache, Piles, Rheumatism, Eruptions aud
Skin Diseases, Billiousness, Liver CompIaint,Dropsy,
Tetter, Tumors and Salt Rheum, Worms, Gout,
Xeuralgia, as a Dinner Pill and Purifying the Blood,
are the most congenial purgative yet perfected.
Their effects abundantly show how much they excel
all other Pills. They are safe and pleasant to take,
but powerful to cure. They purge out the foul
humors of the blood; they stimulate the sluggish
or disordered organ into action ; and they impart
health and tone to the whole being. They cure not
only the every day complaints of every body, but
formidable and dangerous diseases. Most skilful
physicians, most eminent clergymen, and our best
citizens, send certificates of cures performed and of
freat benefits they have derived from these Pills,
'hey are the safest and best physic for children, be
cause mild as well as effectual. Being sugar coated
they are easy to take ; and being purely vegetable,
they are entirely harmless.
