Do Cattle REQUIRE Salip

1t has been questioned by
many. agricultural writer's
whether stock actually require
salt, either alone or in connec-
tion with other food; whether it
is really one of the necessaries
of life or simply a luxury, to be
used or let alone as convenience
may require. Prof. Johnson, a
Scotch writer, referring to the
subject, says: We know why
the animal Graves salt, and why
it ultimately falls into disease il
salt is for q time withheld
Upwards of half the saline mat
ter Of the blood (57 per cent?
consists of common salt; and as
this is partly discharged every
day through the skin and the
kidneys, the necessity of con-
tinued supplies of it to the body
becomes sufficiently obvious
The bile also contains soda as a
special and indispensable con-
stituent, and so do all the cartil-
ages of the body. Therefore,
if the supply of salt be stinted,
neither will the bile be able
properly to assist the digestion,
nor the cartilagcs be built up
again as they naturally waste.
And when we consider it to be
a fact that without salt man
would miserably perish; as,
among horrible punishments,
gentailing certain death, that of
feeding culprits on saltless food
is said to have prevailed in bar.
barous times, we may become
partially convinced atleast of
the necessity Of feeding salt to
our stock-that it is one of the
necessaries as we'll as one of the
luxuries of life for man and
beast; and it should be profuse-
lyprovided at short intervals,
in proper places, if it cannot be
kept by them continually, so
that each and every animal may
satisfy the demands of his ma
ture. Then it shall not be said
of us that while our pudding is
always we'll seasoned and salted
our stock are allowed to suffer
for want of the same ingredient,
which is as truly necessary for
their food as for ours.-[I. w.

what we thought a week or two
since. Now we have changed
our'opinion. During the heavy
firing ON our right a short time
since, these worn-out equine
warriors pricked up their ears,
Strengthened their sore and stiff
limbs. tossed their names, form
ed in squadrons, and with a
loud snort charged on q num-
Der of inoffensive mules. Two
mules were instantlykilled, and
the others fled in the widest
disorder. The horses again
formed to the music Of Gill
more's artillery, and charged
on a high rail fence, which they
at once broke down. They did
not desist from their warlike
demonstrations until the artil-
lery firing ceased.
