SALT FOR SHEEp.--The first thing the shepherd in Spain does when his tocks return from the South, the summer downs, pastures, is to give them as much salt as they will eat. Every owner allows to each thousand sheep ?. 900 lbs of salt, which con sunfc in about five months. They eat none in Winter as it is thought to produce abortion when given to ewes forward with young. This has been the custom, and it is thought 10 be true req son why the Kings of Spain could never raise the price of salt to the height it has maintained in France for it would tempt the shepherds to stint the sheep which it is believed would weaken their constitu- tions, and deteriorate their wool.
