Salt for Fattening Cattle.

There has always been and no
doubt always will be great deal
of discussion regarding the use
of salt for various kinds of stock.
There are ardent advocates of the
use of large quantities of salt for
stock-putting it in the feed so
that they must eat it. The more
conservative seem to be in favor
of keeping salt where stock may
have it at will. Others would use
no salt at all, claiming it to be the
cause of blackleg, dry murrian
and various other troubles.
Salt is undoubtedly very i'm
portant factor in the feeding of
all kinds of animals, but we find
that saIcertain amount of care
must be exercised in using it.
The cattle that are bought and
brought to the college are always
very greedy for salt. If allowed
to satisfy their desire, they will
consume so much that it greatly
deranges the processes of diges-
ton. After the large quantity of
salt is taken, the cattle will drink
a large amount of water, which
with the salt has a very cathartic
effect; they go off feed; and it
may take a week or more for
them to get righted and in nor
NAL condition. After the cattle
become accustomed to the salt it
can be kept before them all the
time with no bad results, but it
can easily be seen how one could
form the opinion from an occas-
ional sailing of the stock that the
salt is a detriment,
We find it necessary to take
the precaution of allowing cattle
only / ounce of salt per day to
the 1000 pounds of live weight,
and be careful that an individual
does not get more than its share.
This precaution is necessary only
until the animals have become ac-
customed to the salt. After this
the salt is kept before them all
the time.
Our salt boxes are placed at a
convenient place under the sheds
and replenished as often as nee
essary to keep salt in the box.
The salt is weighed out in q
pound sacks, and only this
amount put in at a time, so the
salt is fresh. A larger amount
would not be desirable for lots of
10 to 20 head. Common barrel
salt is used, and is considered
preferable to rock salt. The
animal must use too much energy
and time, and often get their
tongues sore, to satisfy them
selves at rock Salt.-KanSaS State

Biennial Election Bill Said to be Uncon-
Stitutiona1.

Because the legislature attach
ed a rider to the biennial election
law, it is liable to be declared I'M
constitutional. In it's original
shape it applied only to county
officers and provided simply that
there should be no election until
1902. This would result in the
county officers holding oyer an
additional year.
By the time it had reached
Governor SANKEY'S hands, how
ever, it had been patched up so
as to apply also to district judges.
The new section declared there
should be no election for district
judge until 1902 but the governor
should appoint men to fill out the
vacant term from January 1902
to January 1908 and that election
should take place in 1902 to select
men for the four year terms be-
ginning January 1908.
Some weeks ago Judge William
Thompson of Waubaunsee coun-
ty, declared unconstitutional the
law providing for the appoint
ment by the county commission
erso of the county superintendent
to fill out the vacant term from
January to May caused by the
changing of the time for county
superintendent to take office.
He held that the legislature could
not create a vacancy although it
might extend or shorten the
term of Office.
Attorney Gen. GODDARD thinks
the law is faulty. In speaking of
it he said:
81 don't care to express any
opinion concerning it. I went
over the bill before it was intro
duced in the legislature. 1t was
alright then and perfectly con-
stitutional. When it left my
hands there was nothing said in
it concerning district Judges

The modern practice Of the forestry

Ing OF the lateral growth Of tree trunks
by closely surrounding them with email
or trees. These are the advantages
claimed. The general theory of he
system is that thick planting at the
outset, and dense culture throughout,
are the first essentials IN the produce
ton Of good timber; that thick planting
leads to the early formation OF the over
head canopy, promotes growth IN height,
and protects the soil, preserving IT'S
fertility, and keeping 1t more uniform In
temperature and moisture than where
more exposed; that density, or growth,
causes early struggle for existence, IN
which the trees while young lose their
lower branches. becoming free from
knots and more cylindrical in stems;
and that the Yield Of timber to the acre
IS greater than any other system. The

Forestry In ~Indiana.

The division OF forestry OF the de-
partment OF agriculture has during the
last summer examined the sites OF a
number of plantations in Indiana. in
response to the applications for tree
planting plans which have been re-
ceiyed from that state. Although fesir-
ifths of Indiana was originally well
timbered, as much OF the state Ia now
practically treeless, with the exception
OF narrow strips along the rivers. In
some places the available timber has
all been cut of, even down to the
streams. Farmers have therefore had
to undertake tree planting in order to
keep themselves supplied with fence
posts and wood for various uses on
the farm. The conditions in these now
treeless portions OF Indiana are. how
ever, very favorable to the establish
ment of plantations, especially in the
regions where the originally marshy
lowlands have been drained of. Be-
sides this, the recent law which prac-
tically exempts tree plantations from
taxation will decidedly reduce their
cost. The planting plans, which will
be based on the surveys made this
summer, will consist Of recommenda-
tons, regarding desirable species,
preparation Of the soil, and methods
OF establishing and managing the plan
tation with reference to the needs OF
each case. The work has been under
the charge of the assistant superin'
tendent of tree planting for the diyi'
sion. The planting plans will prob.
ably be completed befose next spring
