Why We Salt the Cattle.

Salt! Every live farmer knows his
cattle do better when liberal supply
of this article is kept before them but
who can tell why ? The RRrat Cam
dian thus explains.
AS SOON as food enters the stomach
the natural tendency is at once for
fermentation to begin, and there arises
u contest between this tendency and
the digestive powers. And If these
powers are vigorous and the process of
fermentation is checked or intercepted,
no bad results will follow, the food
will he digested, and salt will not be
needed, though at any time salt assists
in the process of digestion. Salt keeps
fruit from decaying until it can be d.
gested, and assimluted, and 'prolongs
the time to allow the digestive organs
to complete their work. Iffood istsksn
in excess, as often happens when stock
is in pasture, salt given frequently will
he of much advantage. Furthur," salt
is prevnetive OF worms. When fermen
tation sets in, the conditions are
favorable to the existence Of worms in
the intestinal canal, and may possibly
be engendered by the process.

Mr.. w. J. Craig, Acting General
Freight and Passenger Agent of the
Port Royal g. Western Carolina Rail.
way Company has issued a circular in
which he says:
"The Augusta National Exposition,
to be held in the City of Augusta, Oc,
tober 10th to November 18th, 1888, of.
fsrs the following Liberal Premiums
for County Exhibits:
For the best County Exhibit of the
products of Agriculture, Horticulture
and Forestry, and the products OF
Domestic Skill and Industry, $1,000.
For the second best, ditto, ditto,
$500.
This Exposition, with the exception
of the Worlds Fair at New Orleans in
1885, will prove the most extensive
ever held in the South, and thousands
of visitors from the North and West
will be attracted hither seeking homes
and investments in this section.
1t, therefore, affords the most favor
able means of displaying to the world
the resources and industries of your
County.
Desiring to assist in advertising the
natural advantages of the section trav-
ersed by these lines, the general
management have decided to trans
port free, to and from Augusta, the
Exhibits of the several Counties trav-
ersed by the Port Royal and Augusta,
and Port Royal and Western Carolina
Railways, when entered for the Pre-
miums named above.
1t will be my pleasure to give any
further information that may be de-
sired"
This is liberal offer, and the peo-
pie of our State should use every effort
to make a good showing of our re-
sources. Abbevills County should
try for the above premiums by all
means, and in this way would become
well advertised.

Wages and Living Forty Years Age.

Wages and Living Forty Years Age
The Springfield Republican publish
er portion of the address of James
Bartlett, an old citizen of Detroit, at
the semi-centennial of Michigan.
Mr.. Bartlett is an intelligent work
ingman and no rhapsodist. He had
long been machinist in Massachu-
setts when young, and spoke of things
within his own knowlege. His own
recollection went back forty-five years,
for he first began in 1912, in a machine
shop employing about fifty nell on
cotton machinery for Lowell. He
said:
"The wages of a machinist in this
shop were 81 to ST 25 day one nabob
of partern maker received the sum
of $1.5O. They went to work at 5
o'clock in the morning and worked
until 7.3O at night, with an hour for
breakfast and three-quartersfor dinner.
1t was several years before we obtained
eleven hours day. 1t has now been
ten hours day for twenty-five years
or more, and we grumble at that,
though We may get more than twice
the wages we did forty years ago and
we are hoping to get the same or higher
pay for working eight hours. I know
the condition of the machinist is bet
ter than when I first joined the guild.
He has better pay, better houses, bet
ter education, better living and hope
he will keep on improving for the next
fifty years. Large machine shops
were started before 1886. One in Lowell
employed over 1000 men on cotton
machinery. Now the country is dot
ted with them. For my part; I don't
want any more of the good old times.
The present time is the best we have
ever had though I hope not the best
we shall ever see. In fifty years we
have reduced our hours of labor from
fourteen to eight hours day, our
wages are doubled, and the necessa-
ries of life are much cheaper IA barrel
of salt, which cost $3.50 years ago, has
been sold in Michigan for IS cens.)
The great curse of drunkenness is
very much diminished. We live in
better houses, better warmed and
lighted, and we are better clothed |;
high school education is in the reach of
every child; books are free to all; the
poorest laborer who meets with an &C
cident in our streets will receive surgi-
cal aid that no king could purchase
fifty years ago. Our great railroads
distribute the fruits of labor so that
fa1nines are impossible. Beef killed
OH the prairie is sent all over the coun-
try, and supplies the markets of Eu-
rope. Fish from the salt seas and from
our great lakes are eaten fresh all over
the continent, and tropical fruits are
peddled round all our Streets"

Now.
BY SUSAN. COOLIDGE.

When our dead are taken
From our sight,
All their faults and follies
Vanish quite.
All the little discords,
All the fret,
All the moods and puzzles,
We forget
Nothing but their sweetness
We recall,-
How they served us, pleased US,
That Is ALL
Only tender memories
Come 10 mind,
Loves dear recognitions
Sure and kind;
Fair as are the angels
Unto men
Shine those vanished faces
To US then.
When our dead have left US
What avails?
Can they hear our voices?-
Thick the wells
Drawn twixt sense and spirit.
Who can know
II orr love may follow
Where they GO?
All our bitter yearning
Is in vain,
Though to pierce the darkness
We are fain.
Love has but It's minute,
Its brief day,
Nor for any grleving
VIII delay.
Ere the cruel spoiler
Disallow,
II you love your loved ones,
Love them now

ploded this morning, and there were
supposed to be from twelve to twenty
men in the building at the time. FIVE
bodies were taken out, and the re-
mainder were buried in the ruins. Up
to 10. 80 this morning seven dead bodies
had been taken from the ruins. Most
of the bodies taken out were only
slightly bruised, and it is supposed
death was caused by sutocation. The
men who were painting on the root,
were blown fifty feet in the air, but
escaped serious injury. 1t is supposed
that as many as thirty were more OF
less injured. The building is an entire
wreck. The explosion was caused BY
leaking gas becoming ignited by /
lantern which one of the men feoiishil
carried into the building.
The report that seven bodies had beer
taken from the ruins is incorrect Fou
persons lost their lives. and six person
were injured, three of whom will die
