How to Feed Salt.

1t is generally conceded that domestic
animals do better with salt than without
it; and the method Of giving 1t to them
which is generally recommended is to
place 1t where they can help themselves.
Many experiments go TO show that the
popular notion that salt promotes the
health Of animals is correct. 1t aids the
digestion, keeps the blood limped, and 10
relished, ~ most wholesome Ingredients
are. Only here and there . crank con-
tends that salt is not only not necessary
but Is an Injury. 1t is declared by them
to be poisonous compound With q
mineral for Its base, and hence is not
digested and assimilated but thrown OFF
unchanged AZ salt. Water has mineral
base and remains In the systeD, as water.
But 1t Is necessary as solvent, and We
can't live without 1t. Both salt and water
are found In the blood. the water in vary
Ing proportion, and the salt In but slight
ly changed prOportion-and this whether
salt Is eaten or not. So, 1t would appear
that. whenever salt 10 withheld the system
Is taxed for sufficient energy to elaborate
the salt from the ingredients taken ~
food 10 addition to the small supply Of
salt which nearly every food contains in
some proportion. So, We may say that
the only question Is % to the best method
of feeding salt. Judging from the
practice Of man, who has the freedom Of
choice, we are inclined TO the be lief that
sailing the food Is the best method, care
being taken TO not salt too much
or too little. A correspondent Of the
New York Tribune says: "For many
years practised putting suitable pinch
of salt In every mess OF horses or cows
feed. The healthiness and general thrift
Of animals fed In this way have been to
me surprising In every case. Cows of
almost any grade or condition become
beauties In form snd very good beeves-
all 10 soon. sometimes--by feeding no
more than seemed suitable, and of ordi-
nary kind Of well ground feed mixed,

Farm Notes.

Somehow, every celebrated butter herd
appears to have more or less Jersey blood
In 1t.
1t Is safer for the farmer to rely on o
few well-known and reliable varieties of
fruit than to waste time In experimenting
With new ones.
improvement comes BY substituting
the higher for the lower. This Is why In
breeding We must be constantly introduc-
ing better blood.
There Is good deal OF queryng If but

butter has been made without it. Why

when You kick COW, Just pause and
think that you are kicking dollars out Of

ent periods, SO Is to provide succession
Of crops. The earliest will grow .

Do not let any Of your grass get dead
ripe before cutting, IS 1t will increase the

Remember that the food Of young ami
mails should be about blood heat when
fed to them. This will not only prevent or
rather avoid bowel troubles, but better
promote the growth Of the animal, as the
food at this temperature will be more
easily dlgested and completely assimllat-
ei.
Now is the time to prepare for q good
crop Of raspberries and blackberries for
nsxt year. Next seasons fruit will be-
borne upon the canes that are now grow
Ing. Examine each bush and select the
canes that will be needed, not over three OF
four OF the strongest, and treat all Others

plant be devoted to making these large

The pecennial state Board.

Many inquiries are made as to the
powers and duties of the Decennial
State Board of Equalization, composed
of a membership similar to that Of the
Senate, which, recently organiz-
ed at Columbus and will resume its
session January 6, 1891.
These inquiries may be briefly an
swered by reference to section 2,8l8 of
the Revised Statutes.
1. 1t shall add to the aggregate value
of the real property In every county
which IL believes Is valued below its
real value in money such per cent. as
will raise IL to its true value in money.
2. If 1t believe that the real estate In
any county has too high a valuation
placed upon 1t, 1t shall deduct such q
per cent. as will reduce it to its true
value in money. r.,...
8. If It believe that the real property
in any city or cities, town or towns, In
county or In the county outside any
city or cities, town or towns, be too
high or too low in valuation, 1t may in
crease or diminish the valuation as oc-
casion may require In city, cities,
town or towns or country with
OuU dhCCtlhA thC N0iuC6 Al bhO6C
localities in the county believed to be
valued at their true value.
4. If it Is believed that the aggregate
value of all the real property In the
State as returned by the Auditors, be
too high or too low it may increase or
reduce it, but such increase or reduc-
ton shall not exceed l2a per cent. of
said aggregate.
The first and second requirements are
mandatory, the third and fourth dis
cretionary.
When the Board has finished its
work it shall send to each County Au-
ditor statement of the additions or re-
ductions, and he shall add to or deduct
from each lot or tract Of land the re-
quired per cent. on the valuation as 1t
stands after it shall have been equalized
by the County and City Boards.
While the duties of the Board are
few and simple the thoroughness Of its
work is of great Importance to each
county so far as taxation for State pur-
poses is concerned.
