WITH SALT.

 AEssRs. EpIroRs: On reading Mr. k. L.. Pell's letter in the Cultivator for March, (paee 97,4 take up my pen to show that some of his opinions are wrong, and some of his prac- uces are actually cfHtl. First, he says, "when preparing meadows or upland, usually seed ou wheat, sowing in the full half bushe of Timothy seed 10 the acre, which is lined at the rate of lhrec hundred bushels, and the following spring, alifr a moderate lall oi SHOW, SOW one bnsllel of clover seed,n Sc. Now. If Nir. ?. means one bushcl of clover seed to the acre, (and the letter reads so.4 this is a- together wrong; as half bushe of Timothy seed, and pounds of clover seed, would be sufficient for any land l ever saw iii tIs country. After telling the time he cuts his grass, he says, s.the grass thus eut is drawn immediately into the barn, and one bpsbeI of fine salt spread ny hand over each alternate layer composing a fon.n Now maintain that the quantity Of salt he puts on actually PHHtsheS tic poor animals that have to eat the hay, in cruel manner. Yet eat it they must, if they have nothing elsc, or staf8e- Some II years aeo, l read in some paper this mode of curing hay, and tried the ex. pertinent by commencing to feed 6l2 sheer with hay so cured. Ii look me all of al hour and a half, each day, to pump water fo them, and then, after drinking till they wer, like to burst, they would, in cold days, stan, and shiver for hours; and | believe, if l ha' not changed their feed 10 something else hal of the time, that so much salt would hay killed a number of them.

 make no doubt that Mir. PelI is hones in his intentions. altogetherunacquain cd with the gentleman but think he mus be one of those farmers that tell men to d. So and SO, but who neither helps dc 1t, no secs that it is done, else he would see th impropriety of sowing bushcl of clover see, 10 the acre, and salnng his hay 10 uamefei fully.

 will give you my mode of curing nay When the crop Is heavy, spread it as sool as cut, if the weather is good, and let Il Ii until ii is pretty well wilted, then cock il and let il cure II eocIls, only turning tben oyer to let them have all hour or two of sun shine before loading them. If the cropshouI' be light, 1 let il wilt in sWath When draw ! ing in, put about quart of salt to a wagon i load, which IS sufficient salt for the sheel while eating the hay
