SALT FOR STOCK.
A Supply Accessible to Every Animal
Should BE Provided at All Times.

"A supply ACCESSIBLE 10 Every Amman
Should Be Provided at All Times.
Salt is not only the SAVIOR of the
earth, but of the flesh, and of every
known organism. 1t is a constant
constituent of the blood, keeping it
limpid and healthful, and Is more uni
versally distributed over the globe and
throughout all organized nature than
any other compound known to the
chemist, save water. 1t is also one of
the most stable of the compounds.
The waters of the earth are charged
with it, and traces Of it float in the air
we breathe.
By inference, then, we may conclude
that salt is an essential constituent of
all things-especially of all organized
things. Both observation and expert
ment show this to be the fact. All the
animal instincts concur in this conclu-
sion. Wild animals 60 long distances
and take great risks to get it. In
countries where it is not readily &C
cessible, men are willing to pay great
prices for it. The relish for it is not
an acquired one, like that for whisky
or tobacco, but a natural instinct or
craving, in response to a demand of
the human organism.
Animals deprived of salt do not thrive
as well nor wear as sleek coats as those
that have a regular and full supply. If
it is placed where they have access to
it at will, no animal will eat too much.
But if fed irregularly, and allowed to
60 without salt for long periods there
is great danger of animals eating
enough to do them injury. In such
cases, great care should be taken in
feeding it, that an overdose be- not
taken. But the better way is to avoid
such danger by keeping a constant
supply of salt within reach of the stock.
Rock salt in, large Jumps for the ami
mails to lick, is the best form in which
to give it. But it should be placed
where it will be sheltered from the rain
or snow. Sheds for the shelter Of
stock are proper places in which to
provide it.
As farmers turn their cattle to grass,
we call their attention to the subject Of
sailing stock, and to its importance.
Do not depend on throwing them a
handful once q week or 80, through the
summer. In such a case, If O give
enough for the herd, the stronger ones
will get too much and the weaker ones
too little. The better way is to provide
a supply of salt accessible to all, at all
times This is the safe and wise plan,
saving care and trouble, and securing
the bests results TO the stock. National

AS a general rule, farmers pay too

Of course these matters ought to be
first in their minds, but unfortunately
they are too frequently the last. Clean

disease. 1t is not only necessary to
wash and battle frequently, but it is
necessary to eat clean food and to

And then-I found him, There he lay,

The chessmen scattered near and far.

This son and heir was seized-possessed.
Yet all in vain, for sleep had caught
The hand that reached, the feet thai
