The, of Salt. It is singular
that such a body of evidence
should be brought together on
tlm tu:u -itn'mw nf tln nnnlipn-
of Law tobe held for Edgecombe county, jampton Courier states, that a
at the Court-house in 'I arborougli, on theicow, in that lOWIl. owned bv
r
tion of a moderate quantity ofdrought which has prevailed in
salt to every description of.some portions of the Western
growing crop, from grass tojStates, is still complained of in
limber trees, and to almost ev-'the Lexington (Ky.) Reporter of
cry domestic animal, from the; the 22d instant. Tn a number
horse to the honey-bee, and yctiof the counties about Lexington
that salt should be so little in the crops of corn would fall
use. We have not a doubt short from one third to ono
ourselves that it may be of real half, and it was believed that the
use to live stock; because wclusual supplies of live stock sent
have
seen it very generally
on the continent. Mr.
21VC11
Johnson says, "I have given
my own gig horse an ounce of
salt every night in his corn, for
the last five years; and though
he has, during that period, wor
ked very hard, he has continu
ed in the best health, never hav
ing had a dose of physic in his
life." To be able to dispense
with physic, either in the econ
omy of men or cattle, is a grand
object; and we certainly think
the occasional, or perhaps the
constant use of salt in the food
of domestic animals, and espe
cially in that of the horse, as
being in a more highly artifi
cial state than the others, a de
sirable object. N. E. Farmer.
Tar for Sheep. A gentle
man who keeps a large flock or
sheep assures us, that during
the season of grazing he gives
his sheep tar, at the rate of a
gill a day for every twenty
sheep. He puts the tar in
troughs, sprinkles a little fine
salt over it, and the sheep con
sume it eagerly. This pre
serves them from worms in the
head, promotes their general
growth, and is supposed to be a
specific against rot. .

A good Cow. -The North-
Dr. Barrett, has given milk, and
made butter after the following
schedule: she has been milked
for the last fortnight, every eight
hours, and each milking has
yielded a pajifid niesuring teti
quarts, the weight of the milk,
averaging daily 491 pounds.
Her milk has yielded, daily,
2 lbs. 5oz. of butter, making 32
lbs. G oz. in 14 days; from one
milking alone, 1 pound and six
ounces were made, which will
give four pounds and two ounces
of butter in one day from one
cow! The butter . was of a supe
rior quality, and sold for a
shilling per pound, while ihe
usual price in th village has
been but ten cents.
