Is SALT NECESSARY FOR CATTLE &?

The first thing to he said in favor of
common salt is that it is natures YER
mifuge and very destructive to all, or
nearly all, intestinal parasites. All
herb and grain eating animals are
preyed upon by such parasites, espec-
tally when enfeebled by hard work, ex-
posure to cold storms, or want of
nourishing food; in feet, anything
that enfeebles invites the attacks of
internal parasites, for, while they are
always present in some form, the
healthy and vigorous animal is able to
resist their attacks. 1t is true that
horses, cattle, sheep, and other do
mesticated animals may live and thrive,
apparently, without receiving salt In
its crude form, but this does not prove
that they have been benefited in any
way by being deprived of saline rations.
What animals may endure and live no
doubt is of greater interest to some
men than the opposite conditions, and
they are usually prone to make exper-
iments in she way of exposure to cold
storms, and short ratIons when shell
ter and full rations would greatly con-
duce to the health and happiness of
their stock. Salt gives sapidity and
relish to hay, grasses, and other kinds
of raw food. 1t acts universally as n
stimulus to digestion, renders coarse
food more nourishing, and mixed food
less injurious, and often recalls the
appetite more speedily than any other
tonic. Wild horses, cattle, and sheep
as well as all other herbivorous ami
mails, seek salt -licks and saline marshes
and ponds where they can satisfy their
natural desires for salt. When animals
are kept in confinement or removed to
localities where they cannot get to
salt springs, they should be given an
equivalent in the form of common dry
salt. New York Sun.

CLEAN THE WAGONS FREQUENTLY.

ANY vehicle that is allowed to remain
spattered with mud for weeks and
months is wrongly treated. The luster
of the varnish rapidly deadens, the oil
is absorbed from the paint. and when
the dirt is removed by washing, the
vehicle presents a grimy appearance.
Driving wagon covered with mud
when the roads are in good condition
presents to the observer that you
either are shiftless or extremely busy.
However if you are busy with your
work, and of course attending to it,
for the money or profit to be gained
thereby, you would find it q paying in
vestment to spend an hours time in
removing the mud, also properly oil
ing the axles of both heavy and light
vehicles. In washing wagon it is
best to apply water to the muddy sur
face several moments b . ore the sponge
is used. If force pump or hose can
be used most of the dirt can be thus
removed, and will not scratch the sur
face, as the sand on n sponge or rag
will do American Agrieulturist.

"Lo,e one Another
The French novelist and dramatist.
Alexander Dumas, has written a let
ter TO a Paris newspaper In which he
expresses his opinions with regard 10
the speculative tendency and the
future sympathy of humanity. He
says: ''The power, whatever 1t may
be, that created the world. which !
can not believe created itself, having
up TO now retained, while using us as
instruments, the privilege OF know
ing why IL made us and what IL does
with us, this power appearing more
and more determined TO keep its SCI
cret, believe, IL may be allowed 10
speak freely, that humanity Is begin
ming TO cease It's efforts TO penetrate
this eternal mystery. IL has tried
religions, which have proved nothing,
since they are all different; 1t has
consulted philosophers, who were
equally unsuccessful, since they were
contradictory. Humanity is now go
ing to endeavor TO overcome the
difficulty alone by the simple use OF
It's instinct and common sense. and
as IL has been placed on earth with
out knowing why or how, 1t is about

The eminent academician foresees,
In the not very remote future. an era
when, the useless search after the
eternally hidden having ceased, peo-
pie will agree to live at peace with
one another M. Dumas, who de-
tects this tendency even in facts
which appear to be most directly op.
posed TO IL, concludes:
"Thcse armaments of all nations,
these continual menaces, this re-
sumption OF race oppression, are evil
signs, but not signs OF bad augury.
They arc the last convulsions Of what

HOMEMADE FERTILIZER.

A fertile soil is one that contains, ia
a soluble and available form, all the
needed elements of plant food. Of
these, potash, phosphoric and sui
phuric acids, silica, nitrogen and car
bon are the soonest exhausted by cul-
tivation. and therefore the most neces-
ssry to be supplied by artificial means.
II the farmer will take good care to
return adequate supplies of these in
his soils, nature will, in almost every
case, furnish an abundance of the
others The art of maintaining soil
fertile, lies in returning to il annually
enough at least of humus, potash and
phosphoric acid to make up for the
loss of these elements occssioned by
cultivation and cropping. The farmer
can do this much for his soils by sew
eral economic methods. Humus, or
decsying and decayed organic matter,
is most readily and chesply supplied
by growing upon the soil and turning
under such green crops as clover aud
field peas. Every farmer knows the
value Of these. But IL is not every
