Salt Is Good"

Centuries before the Sermon on
the Mount WAS delivered, and even
until now, the vaiue Of salt has
been recognized by all intelligent
beings. Wild birds and animals
travelled long distances in search OF
il, and often tarried long in tho
places where it abouhds. Health
is impaired unless salt is contained
in the food Of which We partake.
Ii ia at once the cheapest and most
wholesome substance that can DO
employed for the preservation of
meat and 6sh. Most antisepiics are
injurious to health, but salt is con.
ducive TO it. 1t is more desired as a
condiment than ah other substances
whatsoever; the appetite for salt is
universal. 1t 10 desired by the oc
cupant of the cradle aud the easy.
chair. Its value IA n fertilizer has
been acknowledged from The carl.
lest heroic times. Since these facts
are generally acknowledged. it aP.
pears strange that 30 many farmers
are exceedingly parslmoniOus in re.
gard to the use of salt. Every
year we hear of persons attempting
TO keep herd Of cattle or flock
of sheep during the entire season
without allowing them any salt.
Many deal out salt to stock rs
grudgingly as if it was as costly as
sugar. A large proportion of farm.
ers allow their milch cows, and 9th.
er auimals kept near the house, to
partake OF salt but once "A week. IL
they have stock in "a different pas
ture, the sailing time occurs only
once or twice month. When the
animals receive it they eat more
than is beneficial tor them. There
is no good reason why stock of all
kinds should not be allowed TO grnt.
fy their appetite for salt at any
time they choose. The animals
know better than their owners do
when they require it. Slight in
genuity is needed to place salt in
situation where it will be protected
from the rain and suow, aud where
stock can have access to it at all
times. With rare exceptions ami.
mails will eat little salt every day
il they have the opportunity to do
50. The cost Of salt, at the ordina-
ry degree Of purity, for all the stock
a farmer keeps is trifling, and it
should he furnished without stint
to animals Of all kinds aud at all
seasons of the year.-C Chicago Times.
