VALUE OF SALT.
The Massachusetts Agricultural So ciety, after repeated experiments, has come to the decision that " salt has the property of hastening the maturing of grain crops, that wheat on salted land will ripen six to ten days earlier that on unsalted land, and that it .iaoreases the yield from 25 to 'SO per cent j that it stiffens the straw, and prevents rust and smut; that it checks the mages. of the chinch bug, and that 2 barrels per aore will injure no grain crop. The time to bow salt is in the spring. .
