Importance Of Salt.

Notwithstanding the assertion of a
certain school of hygienists, salt is alb
solutely necessary to the health of all
vegetable eating animals. Those living
exclusively on flesh get the saline mat
tiers contained therein, and consequent
Iy do not need salt. Scientific investi-
cations have proved that a portion of
the blood consists of common salt.
This is continually evolved through the
kidneys and pores of the skin. The
bile, and the eartilages of the body con
tain soda, one of the constituents OF
salt. If the supply is cut off digestion
cannot be properly carried on, and the
animal suffers. Farm animals should
always have a supply of this necessary
mineral, that they may take it at will
in which case they viii not eat more
than they naturally require.

the information of those who haven't
had a chance tew lay in insect wisdum
as freeley as I hav, that one single hor-
net. who feels well, will break up a
whole camp-meeting.

daily trains, 321 miles of road. 4 dis

upon satisfactory business, including
local traffic and the large carrying trade
