Excerpt from An Essay on the Use of Salt for Agricultural Purposes: With Instructions for Its Employment as a Manure, and in the Feeding of Cattle, Sheep, &C
A washing Of the sheep and oxen (with salt) takes away the scab. It is also given to them to be licked.
The illustrious Lord Bacon, who died A. D. 1626, in his Na tural History, declares, that the best manure next to marl, is sea sand, which no doubt Obtaineth a special virtue by the salt water.
Sir Hugh Platt, who published his Jewel House of Art and Nature, In 1653, states, that it is salt which makes all seeds to flourish and grow; and that no dung which is laid on barren ground, would any way enrich the same, if it were not for the salt in it.
A gentleman sowed a bushel of salt upon a small patch of barren ground, at Clapham; which to my day, says Sir Hugh, remains more fresh and green, and full of swarth, than all the rest of the field about it.
The use Of salt in this country, for agricultural purposes, was prior to the time of Lord Bacon; as in his Natural History, he expressly mentions the benefits derived from watering beet radish and other herbs, with a solution Of salt in water.
