SALT FOR LAMBS.
A Demand of Nature that Must be Met by
the F1ockmaster.

A Demand of Nature that Must be Met by
the F1ockmaster.
The wide and destructive prevalence
of parasitism in the United States of
late years makes more necessary than
ever the constant use of salt for sheep,
especially lambs. Many good flock
masters seem to think, if they go out
and salt the flock once a week-often,
we regret to say, on Sunday-that
their duty has been fulfilled. Would
a breakfast of properly-salted food
once a week satisfy them? Do they
forego the customary pinch of salt ON
even a single dish for a single meal
during the week? No-every mouth
full of food must be seasoned. 1t is
demand of nature and it should be met.
Of course, we can not satisfy this
craving with the dumb animals as COM
pletely as we can for ourselves, but the
nearest approach should be made to it.
Sheep grazing on the sea coast, where
the vegetation is impregnated with
salt, where the salt is sometimes seen
to glisten on the grass and weeds-de-
posted there by evaporation from salt
laden spray-are almost entirely ex-
empt from parasitism. Every mouth
full of their feed has salt in it. The
parasites are constantly repeled: they
get no foothold. But if the sheep re-
ceive salt only once week, or even,
two or three times, between the salt
ings the stomachs will be filled several
times with feed in which there is no
trace of this most useful insecticide
There may be salt senough taken into
the blood for the animals health from
the weekly or semi-weekly sailing, but
the great point is that between times
the door is left open for the invasion of
the deadly parasites.
Every observant fockmaster has
noticed that, even in winter, the sheep
| that have constant access to box of
salt will take lick of it several times
day. In winter there are no
parasites lurking in their feed, but in
summer there are likely to be thou
sands of them. How much more neces-
sary, then, that they should be enabled
to resort to the needed condiment and
ineecticide in the season of the para
sites than in the winter. Lambs up to
the age of fifteen months or two years
are much mere susceptible 70 the at

A COMMON MISTAKE.
Farmers who Acquire More Land Than
They Can Care For.

Farmers who Acquire More Land Than
They Can Care For.
For farmer who owns good home
to suppose that when he has made and
saved some money, what he most needs
is more land to pay taxes on.
This mistake is exaggerated when,
in obedience to this conviction, he buys
more than he can pay for and must go
in debt for a considerable part of it.
In a majority of such cases the poor
wife ought to be granted divorce with
the custody of the children, for this
debt means toll and trouble, vexation
and privation for her, and for the un-
funate children 1abor-labor early and
late-with but little recreation, little
schooling, no privileges except the lib
erty to labor under compulsion until
young humanity rebels and another
victim or two "talIes in the town."
The wife thought perhaps she would
get some new furniture or furnishing
for her house, a carpet for her sitting
room, neat dress and bonnet for her
self and nice suit of clothes for each
of the boys and suita BILE dresses for the
girls. With what pride a fond mother
would contemplate her entire family
in presentable attire at the country
church How it would recompense
her for her days and nights OF weary
toll to see home comforts gathering
around, and her children happy and
hopeful. But that is not the way it
works. The farmer wants more land
so he can not be fenced up, and is full
of promises for the good time coming
when he has this more land paid for.
But before that time arrives the mann
mon of avarice thus encouraged takes
| full possession, and still more land is
necessary for peace of mind, and the
fate of the family is sealed.
The wife denied even hope for the
future wears out and is laid aside. The
boys having grown up shake the dirt
| that has cost them SO much from their
feet and emigrate. Then the farmer
| having grown prematurely old and
fatuous can hug his title deeds to his
withered heart and peter out a life he
has neither means, mind nor ability to
| enjoy. If he had been content with a
sufficient farm and had improved and
adorned it, made his home place
which all the family should delight to
| inhabit; if he had surrounded it with
plenty and surrounded it with beauty,
| there might have been presented the
pleasing spectacle of happy family
united around common hearthstone,
each after having spent good life,
cheerfully answering the summons to
life that is better, having some treas
ure at least where moths nor rust cor
rupt nor thieves break through and
steal.-Farm and Ranch.

tacks of internal parasites than the
older sheep, because of the softness
and juiciness of their tissue.
In our later practice with sheep, we
had rooted salt-trough in every field
during the summer. The trough was
made v shaped, from twelve to four
teen feet long, of boards six inches
wide. The supports on which it stood
were two pieces of plank one and
half or two inches thick, with notch
sawed in each of the porper slope to re-
ceive the trough. The supports pro-
jected few inches beyond the trough
on each side, and two uprights were
nailed to them, bearing a top W
shaped board as d support for the roof.
This roof was simply trough
turned bottom-side up, but wider than
the lower one to make projecting caves
and shed the rain. Let the upper
trough or roof be about nine inches
above the lower one; this will afford
room for the animals to insert their
heads. Place the trough lengthways
of the most frequent course OF storms,
to prevent the rain from being blown
into 1t as much as possible.
Now as to the use of copperas. Some
of the best shepherds oppose the con-
slant use of this, as tending to blacken
and rot the animals teeth, and to
create an artificial appetite for a
stimu1ant. Granting the worst that
can be fairly argued against the drug,
we consider it of such overriding i'm
portance, to prevent parasites from
getting Judgement in the vitals of
lambs, that we did not hesitate to use
| it in low lands.
It is like the whisky; the curry and
the pepper which the Anglo-saxon race
| find useful in hot countries-a neces.
sary evil. Let it be finely powdered
and mixed in the salt, one part to ten,
or even stronger than that in wet sea-
sons.-The Sheep Breeder.

HERE AND THERE.

Turn the hogs into the orchard to
eat the fallen fruit and the worms they
contain. This is double-edged econo-
my.
Hogs in the great markets are not
bringing as high prices as a few
months back, but every farmer should
raise hogs all the same.
The lister, sub-soil pillow and land
roller, next to actual irrigation, can
do more when properly used to prevent
loss from drought than all other things
combined. Their use should be more
general.
Farmers who carefully stack their
grain and then let the world go on
turning round once in every twenty
four hours, as usual, will not have to
take so cents bushel for wheat or 20
cents per bushel for oats.
The National Stockman and Farmer
says some Yankee has invented self
cleaning hen-house. This will fill
long-felt want. A hen-house with a
self-cleaning attachment would GER
tainly sell in these parts.
There is only certain amount OF
5::tter fat in given amount of cream,
and the man who offers compound to
increase the butter fat is fraud.
The extension of rice culture bids
fair to add another excellent article to
our list of feed stuffs. Experiments
already made in Louisiana show that
1ow-grade rice is not only good but a
| cheap food.
-Colman's Rural World says it is
cheaper to raise five hogs that will
weigh 200 pounds each than to grow
two of 500 pounds each. And the pork
from the smaller hog is greatly 70 be
/. preferred jp almost any market,
