The Importance of salt in animal
economy is often overlook ed, and no
where is it of more Importance than
with the dairy cow. She SHOULD have
access to salt daily at least, and if it
can be within her reach at all times SD
much the better. Some dairymen make
a practice of salting the food for their
stock, but it is best to have salt within
reach of the animals, thus allowing
them to use only what they desire.
Experiments have proved that when
dairy cows are deprived OF salt for even
one to three weeks there is decrease
of from Is to 20 per cent. in the yield of
milk The milk from unsalted cows
also so,,rs much quicker than when
they have unrestricted access to salt

WHAT souRs THE MILK.
It IL the Ozone and Not the Electrlclt
Produced by Thunder storms.

It IL the Ozone and Not the Electricity
Produced by Thunder storms.
Many reasons are assigned why milk
and cream sour SO easily during the
electrical disturbances accompanying
thunder storms. Theories regarding
this phenomenon are quite as varied as
they are numerous. An electrician ex-
plains the results of some of the recent
experiments in this country and abroad,
made for the purpose of solving con-
clusively this heretofore unsettled ques-
ton. An Italian chemist. Prof. Tolo-
mel, found that the passage of an cleo
trio current directly through the milk
not only did not hasten, but actually de-
layed acidulation. Milk so treated did
not become sour until the sixth to the
ninth day, whereas milk not subjected
to the electric current became decidedly
acid Oh the third day. When, however,
the polls of Il Holtz electric generating
machine were held in close proximity
above the surface of the milk the latter
soon became sour. This effect the FRO
fessor attributed to the ozone generated
by the electrical discharge.
As the souring of milk is attributed 10
the growth of a ferment or bacteriuns
which converts the milk sugar into lac
tic acid, it is possible that the presence
Of ozone in the air everything the milk
hastens the multiplication and growth
of the bacterium. The production Of
ozone on small scale by the machine
and on a great scale 10y lightning is
identical. In the latter cass the ozone
is diffused through the air, and its pres
ence may be detected by the strong acid
odor which SO often prevails immedi-
ately after sharp electrical storm has
PASSED. Therefore, if milk should be
submerged in water during storm, and
the access of the air prevented no result
of the kind would occur. for the expert
ments proved that it is not the cleo
tricity itself. but the ozone produced by
it's discharge in the air, which hastens
