Animals and Salt.

Among certain people there Is
strong idea that nothing is worse for
dogs than salt, but as matter Of fact,
when administered in small quantities.
it materially assists the process of di-
gestion. There is 10 doubt. however.
that TO give dogs or any other animals
broth or pot liquor in which salt pork
or bacon has been boiled would be al
most equivalent 10 giving them a small
dose OF poison. The use OF salt among
nOrses, cattle and sheep is advocated
by the highest veterinary authorities.
Pigs, on the contrary. are extremely
susceptible to the poisonous influence
of the agent, and experiments have
been made which had, after small
doses regularly administered. fatal re-
suits. Habitually, as n matter of course,
all animals consume certain portion
OF salt. as it exists in certain proper
tions in most articles Of food.-London
