1t Is also recommended IN the Agr(chHnrai

Others however, advise TO spread the swalh mme-

as possible, and be careful toealry to the barn Or
stack before the leaves are dry enough to crumble.
We anprchcnd that the mole in this case NAV be

the mower, turning it over when halt dry, without
spreading.
S7HJOr Cattle and Stesp. Although 1t has been
thought by some agricuuriss that cattle or sheep
if allowed much salt as they will consume are
apt to take to excess 1t is doab,ed by none that
