Use Rock Salt.

We are surprised when passing
through the country to find so few farm
ers who use rock salt for their stock.
Whenever we find a man who uses it,
he always speaks Of it in the highest
terms. The writer can say from expert
ence that there is no other way of salt
ing stock nearly so satisfactory in every
way as by the use of the rock.
1t is settled fact that stock salted
once a week take too much when given
to them, which has the effect of wasting
much nutrition i'll the animal which the
system requires, and before the next
salting day comes around i'll effects are
caused i'll the system by the lack of
salt. This being the case, the farmer
who depends upon weekly sailing, be
he ever so regular, cannot fail to lose
milk from his cows and flesh from his
steers and o,her fattening stock. Some
resort to the plan of puttinga little salt
into the food every day or two. Now,
this is all chance work and cannot give
the best results, as the animal itself is
the only proper judge Of how much to
take ard will never take too much or
too little when given free access to it.
Now, when stables have been fitted up
with boxes in the stalls, the supply can
be kept constantly before them by using
either barrel or rock salt, the former
having to be supplied every few days,
while four Or five pound lump will
last for weeks. Another advantage in
using rock salt is nat it can be thrown
into an ordinary manger and not inter
fere with the food. The animal can lick
at it as desired, and no evil results or
waste III food Or salt can follow. Then,
again, for field sailing i'll the summer
lump can be thrown on the ground
exposed to the sun and rain, without
loss or other objection, while when bar
rel salt is used the box will be half the
time empty, and irregular salting re-
vllts. -Farmers' Advocate.

EASTER eREAD AND CHEESE.
Origin of n Custom sim Maintained In
Quiet English Village.

An old ceremony which links the pres
cnt with an epoch as nearly distant as
the Norman conquest has been duly OBJ
served in the quiet village of Biddcnden,
in Kent, near Ashford, England. Easter
was celebrated by the distributing by
the vicar and church wardens of cakes
of gingerbread among visitors to the
place, while the residents were RECALLED
with hunks of bread and cheese. For
nearly 900 years these doles or gifts
have been dispensed, although now all
idea of charity has practically disap-
pearcd, and the distribution is used
more for an occasion OF conyiviality
and ale drinking than for the pious
commemoration of the two maids of
IIddenden who founded the feast.
These ladies were Eliza and Mary
Chulkhurst, who lived at the beginning
of the twelfth century and were joined
together like the Siamese twins. One
died day after the other, and they
left bit of land, of which the rental
is about 5000 n year, to perpctuate a
fund for the distribution of bread and
stamped with likeness of the two
maids, with their names and the dates
of their birth and dcmise. Many peo-
pie go TO Biddenden for the express
purpose Of getting cake and prcserv.

CEe Price Of Fame.


F7ENF was a German farmer, but did
I no farm work. He was so prosper
Gus that he was able to sit out under
The shade Of the apple trees which grew
close to the porch Of his house and talk
TO Griest, his neighbor, who was re-
tired brewer, about Bismarck. This
was over - years ago, and Bismarck
was most important parsonage to an
Illinois farmer who was German and
who did not have to work very hard for
his living.
Ienfs house was n quarter Of mile
lack from the road, which was the last
named street of the ncighboring city.
1t was city Of some $4,000 souls, which
made it small enough and compact
enough for Zenf to be on neighborly
terms with the post Office and the ma
tional bank. The house was quaint,
old, low-cciled, roomy edifice, half hid
den beneath the climbing grapevincs,
and entirely concealed from view of
passers-by on the street because of the
intervening shrubbcry. Anoble orchard
of great apple trees lay alongside the
farm, and sometimes Xcnf and Griest
would go over under the apple trees and
talk about Bismarck, for change Of To-
cation rather than a change of subject.
Xcnf loved the farm and the orchard,
and of his family he made much, for the
two girls were very pretty and very
sweet, and Anton, the boy, was growing
up to be a credit to him. He thought
he would die in the house under the
Erapevines, and Mrs. Zenf thought so,
too.
One day n man came TO the city and
talked very much. He opened an Office,
too, and hired other men from abroad TO
come and help him talk. Then they got
ont lot Of maps, and Zenf was amazed
when he learned that Griest had bought
the center Of lIobbins' pond.
