The saying going to Canossa" refers

by the Emperor Henry Nv to Italy In
the year 1077. Henry had objected to

communicated by that pontiff. The
emperor at first laughed at the SEN
tence, but took a more serious view
when he foxnd himself deserted even
by his personal attendants and resolved
on journey to Italy to make his peace
with the pope. The latter was then at
the Castle Of Canossa, fortress Of the
Countess Mathilda and situated In the
mountains of Modena. Thither the en-
peror hastened, but the pope refused
to see him save under the most degrad.
Ing conditions.
The desperate situation Of Henry
compelled him to submit, and for three
days and nights, barefooted and bare
headed, clad only in hair shirt the
raiment of penitent, he waited at the
gate. At the end Of this fearful pen
ance, which was undergone in the
month of January, he was admitted to
the papal presence. was absolved and
received his dominion as gift from
the pope. The expression has ever
since been current as indicative OF
abject submission on any terms I'm

the poorest $24.07. Herd No. 2,
best COW $66.0S, and poorest S47.25,

best and poorest so nearly equal as this.
Herd 3 with five cows, best producing

SALT FOR DOMESTIC ANIMALS.

The domestic animals that are denied
salt will certainly become diseased and
stunted, especially so during the season
of the year when they have no green
feed. am of the opinion that the neg
lect of regular rations of salt for the
hogs will sooner or later beget condi-
ton that invites germs of swine plague
and of cholera.
Rock salt conveniently placed for
hogs and sheep is better than pulverized
salt for the purpose. Lumps of ten or
fifteen pounds each placed in the man.
ger answer as well for horses as pulver-
lied salt. Where it is constantly before
them there is no danger of their eating
too much.
Cattle seem to require more than
other stock, and should have it in the
powdered state, as they spend too much
time licking from the lump. Plenty of
salt and all the water stock need dilute
the food and hasten assimilation, max
ing the stock to thrive and increasing
milk secretion. In mixing salt in slops
of food care should be taken not to give
an overdose, as too much thus given is
very injurious. Give the domestic ami
mails plenty of salt for health's sake
