Salt for Worms.
Eds Rural Home :rln your paper of
April 25th, De Witt C. Sfjalts writes some
ihini? about killing worms in corn, ami m

have cut irom an old paper an ameie win-;

put in your paper. A. C. IIobbie.
Irondequoit, April 26th.
Eleven years ago I had a fieM of eibt
acres that'liarl been pastured three seasons, j
previous to which it had been sown to
wheat, until its fertility seemed to have been
nearly exhausted. Desiring to plant corn on
the lot, I commenced early in the Spring to
xiraw and put in small heaps common barn
manure; twenty-two loads to the acre was
distributed in that manner and left until
.about the 9th of May, when it was spread
evenly as possible and plowed under about
seven iuches deep; a harrow was then ap
plied and a good seed-bed made; marked it
three and a half feet each way and planted
pn the 19th of May. One-half ton of plaster
w8 put on the corn as soon as it was fairly
,u.p. When the plants were getting the third
jeaf the cut-worm commenced its ravages,
and soon after the wire-worms began their
attacks in the hill, and the prospect of a
crop was anything but flattering ; but har
dest finally came, and an average crop,
ghty-one hushels f corn in the ear, was
gathered, mostly sound what the worms
left doing well.
I was not satisfied with the product oi
,lhat field, and determined to try it over
jagain the following Spring, and experiment
oji the worms if any should live over Win
ter. Accordingly, as soon in. May as the
ground was in proper condition to work, it
jvas plowed the same depth as before, and
then was revealed to my vision wire-worms
without number, that had, a- is presumed,
lived and increased in the meantime. The
attention of some of my older neighboring
farmer? was called to examine the stale of
' the field with a view to obtain advice, and
they all with one accord advised me to
Snmrner-fallow ; but in looking over some
,old files of "GoodselPs Genesee Farmer," I
.saw a short editorial article advising the
,iwe of salt to exterminate wire-worms, and
;aho to prevent the ravages of cut-worms.
Accordingly I set to work and compounded
fhftlt a. ton of plaster, ten bushels of leached
ashes anil three bushels of fine salt, and
measured off three acres that seemed to be
the M'orst infested. After planting the
Nwhole, on the 2Gth of May, on the three
.acres, with my own hand, that there should
be no mistake made in t lie distribution,!
scattered on each hill what could be fairly
grasped in my gloved hand. The com
pound was dry as could be, and it was put
,on as soon as possible after the corn was
planted and before it was even sprouted.
About the eighth day the shoots began to
make their appearance above the ground
.over the entire lot. Soon the rows could
be -plainly seen, the portion that
,had been salted showing a livelier green
.than the other. At. the time oj the
first hoeing it was full three inches higher,
very even and no missing hills, and not a
..solitary worm was seen. 1 never saw corn
.grow faster, and never had so great a yield
in.all iny fanning as on that three acres
.when measured ; as it was put. into the crib
t was found to have produced 163 bushels
to the acre of sound com in the ear. The
season was dry, but in all of the dryest
days the ground around was moist, and
tthere was hardly any time but what
,lew could be found on the corn leaves at
,tnid-day.
The remaining five acres was badly cut
jjip by worms, and only produced ninety-six
bushels to the acre, and not very sound at
th.at; it was treated with plaster only. 1
have often, since that year, top-dressed my
corn in like manner, and always with
jnarked results. Salt and ashes, or salt and
pilaster is a good top-dressing, but ail the
three combined, in my experience, cannot
be beat, whether your land is troubled with
worms or not. The soil where the above
experiment was made was a chestnut loam,
jncltning to clay.

WITTKOWSKY & RINTELS'
Circular for May, 1874.
As eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is
continued vigilance, honest, fair and unpriirht deal
ing necessary to success in business. Having from
the outset (18 years ago) appreciated these facts
and acted upon them, we find ourselves to-day re
warded for the countless anxieties, vexations, and
the loss of rest by seeing our long cherished hope
realized, of making Charlotte a Wholesale Mart,
and oars an exc lusive Wholesale House.
In order to be more explicit, we have the pleas
ure of informing the mercantile world that we have
leased the superb Store adjoining our present Store,
(heretofore occupied by Messrs Brem, Brown & Co.
as their Dry Goods Store,) which we will occupy
by the first of September next for theRet.'.il Trade
only and will use our present elegant and com
modious Store for an EXCLUSIVE WHOLE
SALE HOUSE, thus giving to the trade a strictly
Wholesale Establishment, where they can make
their selections from a Stock purchased for that
Trade only, thus avoiding coming in contact With a
retail stock and retail buyers. The advantages of
such a House are too obvious to need further com
ment. The particulars of the lines of Goods to be kept
in each House, we will give in a future notice.
To give the general reader a better conception of
the colossal dimensions of our two Houses, wc
will state that we will have upwards of thirty
thousand feet of superficial floor room ; or if a lane
ten feet wide were formed of our Stores, it would
reach considerably over half a mile.
At the same time we inform our numerous
friends that our Mr Rintcls is now again North
buying our second Stock this season, and owing to
the decline in goods, will again place us in a posi
tion to successfully compete with all other houses.
Respectfully,
WITTKOWSKY & RINTELS.

Ton 8 of Seed to One Ton of the Pacific.
Cheaper than Acid Phosphate.
Read Capt. Neal's letter:
Steele Creek, N. C, Dec. 18, 1873.
Messrs. Burrourjlis & Springs: Gentlemen In re
ply to your inquirv as to my success in composting
Cotton Seed with Pacific Guano, I would state that
I used last Spring one ton of Pacific Guano with
two tons of Cotton Seed, which gave entire satisfac
tion. In preparing the seed for composting, I first
saturated them in a hogshead of water and then
rolled them in the guano, just as we roll tlie seed in
ashes before planting. I made this compost about
three weeks before using it, and found that the germ
in tlie seed had been effectual killed. I then used
three hundred pounds of the compost to the acre,
in the drill, and the result pleased me as well or
better than any fertilizer I have used, considering
the price. Very respectful lv,
ALEX. G. NEAL.

AYER'S SARS APARILLA,
For Purifying the Blood.
This compound of the vegetable alteratives, Sar
saparilla, Dock, Stillingia and Mandrake with the
Iodides of Potassium and Iron makes a most
efi'ectual cure of a series of complaints which are
very prevalent and afflicting. It purities the blood,
purges out the lurking humors in the system that
undermine health and settle into troublesome dis
orders. Eruptions of the skin are the appearance
on the surface of humors that should be expelled
from tlie blood. Internal derangements are the
determination of these same humors to some inter
nal organ or organs, whose action they derange,
and whose substance they disease and detroy.
AYER'S 8ARSAPARILLA
Expels these humors from the blood. When
tiny are gone, the disorders they produce
disappear, such as Ulcerations of the Liver, Stom
ach, Kidneys, Lungs, Eruptions and Eruptive
Diseases of the Skin, St. Anthony's Fire, Rose or
Erysipelas Piinphs, Pustules, Blotches, Boils,
Tumors, Tetter and Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ring
