TJsK OP Salt on Land. To Mr. McMillan.—I followed farming some time ago. I am not domg so now. I used salt considerably—to the extent of about 500 pounds to the acre—on both spring and fall wheat. For two years I malted a portion, and left a portion unsalted. In both seasons the spring wheat that was unsalted was more shrivelled and shrunk than what was salted, and was a little later in ripening. I was satisfied after very httle experience that salt was beneficial as a fertilizer. 1 thought, so far as I could judge from appear- ances, that there was about double the quantity of wheat on the land which was salted than there was on the land which was not salted.
