THE VALUE OF SALT.

The French government recently
made scientific investigation of the
value of salt for the use of domestic
animals. In the report of the commits
sion that carried on the experiments
on which it is based, the investigators
state that salt is necessary to the health
of domestic animals to replace Che So
line matter that is extracted from
their food by boiling, steaming or
other artificial causes. In the case OF
sheep it was observed to counteract
the i'll effects of wet pastures and acted
as a preventative of foot rot. 1t W, s
also noticed that it increased the flow
of saliva, thereby beneftting and hast
ening fattening. Further, that it is
an advantage to add salt in all fodder
mixtures The quantity recommended
by the commission for a daily ration
Is two ounces for milch COW or OK.
For a fattening stall fed OK two and
one half to four and one-half ounces;
a fattening pig, one to two ounces; a
lean sheep, one-half to three fourths
ounce; horse, donkey or mule, one
ounce. American Dairyman.

KEEPING SHEEP.

Every farmer who keeps truck o
his business understands that with al
lines of farming and stock keeping
there are ups and downs. A kind o.
stock that will pay a good profit this
year will pay little or nothing next
But taking a serious of years together
the farmer who adopts a certain line
of products and stocks and sticks to
them, taking care, of course, to give
them good management, will secure
the best results.
One advantage with sheep over other
stock is that they all eat a greater var
iety of plants than any other of our
domestic animals, and in this way will
often help to utilize much that would
otherwise go to waste.
In doing this they will also be of
help in keeping down weeds both in
the fields and pastures. They afford
three means of income-the wool IN
the spring, the early lambs and the
matured sheep for mutton. Good fat
sheep are always marketable, and
good wool will sell. With sheep as
with other stock, the value of the feed
and care is the same, whether it is
given TO a sheep that will only sheer
four pounds of poor wool, or to one
that will sheer eight pounds of good
wool, that when sent to market will
sell for one-third more per pound.
0ne of the most important items in
keeping sheep for profit is to keep
good sheep, and then to keep them
thrifty, and if this is done there are
but few farms but where a small flock
of sheep can be kept with profit.
Under present conditions there is
no class of stock that will pay any
thing like fair profit, unless they
are given good treatment In fact, it
requires good management to make
stock on the farm pay. Another adj
vantage with sheep is that they add to
the variety, and in this way lesson the
risk of failure, and they can be kept
upon land that horses or cattle cannot
thrive upon. A very good plan of
with sheep is to have

FLAVOR OF EGGS

The flavor of eggs depends very
much on the kind of food given TO the
poultry. When hens are fed LARGELY
or almost exclusively on milk. tbo
yolk is lighter in color, the white has
milky look and the whole egg il
watery and less firm in texture than
those laid by granted hens. The
taste OF the egg Is also affected. BEING
insipid and unsatisfactory when boiled
or poached and less fine for ordinary
cooking purposes even. There is no
use in saying that the idea of the anal.
ity OF eggs being influenced by the
food OF hens is mere within, since it
is a well-known fact that the eggs of
fowls kept in the neighberhood of tho
sea, and fed almost entirely on fish !

strong and oily as well as the more I
delicate sorts-have IAN ancient and

No herbaceous plant can excel the

bearing q great head of flowers. The
