Industrial Notes. 
Improvements Lave been made in nearly every 
branch of manufacture during the past few years, 
but in none, perhaps, to a greater extent than in that 
of salt. The invention of Thomas Higgin, of Chesh¬ 
ire, England, some four years ago, marked a new 
era in this industry, and it is considered that this 
process will work as great a revolution in the salt 
trade as the discovery of the Bessemer process has 
in that of steel. As an illustration of how quick 
Americans are to appreciate an improved article, 
the annual imports of the new process salt have 
iqpreased in four years from 6,000 to 90,000 sacks.

Crusher and Leveler, and at the same time to the

Steel Coulters, 
the peculiar shape and arrangement of which gives im¬ 
mense cutting power. The entire absence of 
Spikes or Spring Teeth avoids pulling up and scatter¬
