Salt for Sheep.

The advantages of giving salt to
sheep are well known and universally
acknowledged, says the English Agri-
cultural Gazette. Though not cure,
it is one of the best preventives of
''rot.'' 1t is n paiatable and wholesome
addition to a sheep sdet which is much
relishcd; and, for the reason above, it
may be recommended. Like every
thing else, however, salt may he abused
as well as used. and we are inclined to
think that. even in the case of sheep,
salt is not always beneficial. The ex-
perience of many, and. we may add. of
ourselves, proves that salt adj libituw
is dangerous addendum to the
food of breeding ewes. Some
years ago. being impressed by the
many reports of beneficial effects of
salt we ordered salt boxes to be made,
and placed a goodly piece of rock salt
in each. After few days. during
which time the salt licks'' were con-
stantly visited by the ewes. the shepherd
began TO find fault with '.this here salt"
We listened to what he had TO say, and
then departed with a feeling of COM
miseration for his ignorance. coupled
with complacency at our own wider
knowledge.
As days passed on. however, our
ewes became feverish. thirsty and sub
jcct to diarrhGa. The salt was ordered
ont OF the fold, and the boxes have never
been used again to this day. Perhaps
we err on the other side now. but rs
long as the ewes do well and the lambs
thrive we feel disposed to let well alone.
On the other hand we have most of us
heard of the wonderful effect of salt
marshes rs apreventiye of rot. 1t is
known that saltlick in field frequent
ed by dry sheepis almost sure antidote

 This charming comedy, with Sol Smith Russell in the character of s'Tom Dilloway," has become famous through it's successful run in New York To those who did not see it last evening at the New Haven Opera House it may be said that they missed great the atrical treat. The play is most pleasing and interesting one. It is cleverly written, being full of wit and situations of the most lauehable bat not overdrawn nature. It also affords an opportunity for MT. Russell to in troduce some of his inimitable presentations
 
 teresting plot. Every sketch of his was greeted with delight by the audience, which was vociferous in applause and laughter. He certainly has no superior in his presentations of odd characters. The other members of the company are in every way worthy of praise for the capital manner in which they rendered their respective parts.
