Six pounds of brine produce one pound of salt. Besides salt the constituents of the brine are: a minute quantity of chloride of potassium, a pretty large amount of the chlorides of calcium and magnesium. It also contains bromides and iodides of the same bases, the former in insignificant quantity, and the latter scarcely detectable. From all sulphates it is entirely free, and it contains, at most, a mere trace of carbonates. John B. “Laidley. Corn on Stalk. Jas. EL. Downer.
