SALT FOR CATTLE.
II you give it in the right way, YOU
ed not be afraid of your cattle taking
much salt. They will never do this

~ Will overeat. Salt is an essential
ment of the blood, and is as neces-
y to stock as to human beings. Many
thelr common foods are lacking in it,
consequently it must be artificially
'Plled. We cannot tell exactly how
en- they need, and so the plan Of feet
tnem stated amounts at stated times
wrong. Put it where thev can get it
mselves, and they will take just as
On as they need and no more.
