om the air is well-known to all. Mr. E. L. 



, of Orwell, Ohio, communicates to the Ohio 



Ci'Hirator a new use he has made of this piopettv 



of salt, by applying it t<> the hoof, of horses: — "A 



horse that is driven upon a hard road is liable to get 



iffened. I have seen valuable horses driven upon 



r own plank roads a few days get quite lame. I 



isoned to myself nf the cause, inn! produced a 



iiieilv which proved effectual. I have .since tried 



on foundered or hoof-bound horses, and with 



od results. I made a solution of salt nnd water, 



and applied it three times a day, by washing the 



legs nnd pouring upon the bottom of the feet, and 



bidding them up a few minutes to let it strike in, 



I sow the wonderful effects in a few days. I ac- 



nt for it iu this way —Sail will extract moist- 



from the atmosphere, which keeps tbe feet 



ist all the while; it uels nearly like melted 



yet pliable; like a chunk of wood saturated with 



horse's foot. Here let me add, that the practice of 

 rasping a cracked hoof to toughen it is all folly. — 

 Apply brine, and you will effect a cure."

 because no man there would keep ono eiugle acre
