SALT FOR ALL KINDS OF STocK:--Now
when stock Of all kinds subsist entirely on
grass, and particularly when they are con,
fined to red clover, they should have all
the salt they will consume, and have ac-
cess to it at all times. They will consume
no more of it than they really .need, and no
more than will be beneficial to them, If
they could have it at any time when they
would like little.
When animals that chew the end, such
As sheep, oxen, and cows, feed on red clov-
or they do not masticate it as horses 90,
before it enters their stomachs and for
this reason they are very liable to die in
short time. But when they can have free
access to salt at all times, they will consume
enough Of it to countcract the injurious
effects which often follow when animals
subsist wholly on that kind of grass. Salt
appears to rectify the acidity Of their ston'-
scns and to prevent the formation OF gas
during the partial decomposition Of the
clover, while it is being prepared t. be
ruminated, in the form Of cuds, after the
animals have consumed enough to fill the
first stomach. For t.is reason let every
animal have all the salt it wants.

when to Feed Working Animals.

1t is, we think, generally admitted, that
work animals do not need as much soild
food when lying idle, as when steadily at
work. But we think that there is grew
GUS mistake frequently made, in giving
work animals that have lain idle, good
Aearty feed just before going to work. For
instance, to give horse an extra mess OF
oats in the morning, and as soon as ne Is
done, harness him up and goto work.
Now, we think this is little or no benefit
for the horse has got to carry about him
a large mass of undigested food, which has
not had time to pass into condition to De
Of any benefit to him. except to fill his
stomach. A little reflection will enable
any one to see that this is not right. An
animal which has been idle, should be fed
an extra quantity before going to work.
And this applies especially to oxen, from
the fact that they merely crush their food
little to swallow it. An extra feed does
tn. m almost no good at all, if worked i'm
mediately after it. They depend upon
raising their food and chewing it over again,
and If they are worked, they do not get
chance to do as a consequence the greater
part passes off without doing them any
good, as most farmers know. II we feed
oxen certain quantity Of grain per day
we prefer to give three-quarters OF It
to them at night. They can then get
chance to thoroughly masticate It, and al
most none is lost. This mode OF feeding,
we think, is preferable to any other, except
grinding their food; and that will not pay
Il corn IS 20 cents per bushel, and you
have to haul it ten miles to mill. If mil
is convenient, or If person has a horse
mill, it is undoubtedly tho best-but it is
an undeniable fact, that out western corn is
almost always fed in the car. If fed a!
night, an OK gets the coed Of it-but If fed
at noon, or in the morning, we think i
does not do them near so much good.
This may seem to be . trifing matter
but If trihes are well attended to, important
matters are not likely to 60 wrong.
