During a discussion on jackals in
the Cape house OF assembly a few
days ago Mr. Rubldge gave figures
based on intelligent and recorded OBJ
servation OF the deprodations caused
by jackals.
In one year the losses caused TO
his stock amounted to 10 per cent.
Estimating on the number Of the
fiocks in 1895, he worked gradually
up 10 a yearly loss Of s7.500.0o0 III

USING SALT WITH FOOD.
Common Habit of Mankind Said to
Re without Good Reason,

Common Habit of Mankind said to
he without Good Reason,
This is no new question, but appar-
emily it is not settled yet. In an ex-
hnustive discussion of it in the Revue
Scientifique NJ. Rene Laufer concludes
that while 1t is absolutely necessary
to the animal organism. enough Of it
for our needs Is contained naturally in
our ordinary articles of food, so that
the addition Of it as Il condiment is
superfluous. Tales Of disease caused
by lack of salt he dismisses as un.
trustworthy. Says Mr.. Laufer:
1.-THE desire for salt is certainly uni
versal. 1t seems 10 have been used
everywhere at all times and in all civ
iIizations. The same salt seasons to-
day the miserable portion of the Su-
danese negro and the choice dishes of
European tables. The need of salt is
not limited to man. Many animals
seek 1t with avidity. SO general a pre-
objection. so imperious Il desire, should
not be regarded as a simple incident.
that is certain. But Dc they CORE
spond TO an unavoidable necessity?
rs it not curious that the chloride of
sodium should be the only salt that we
take from nature TO add to those con
tanned in our food itself? Other min
eral substances play much more i'm
portant part in the constitution Of the
tissues-thc salts of lime and the phos-
phate of Soda for instance. When we
use these by themselves it is as medi-
cines.
1.-THE taste for salt Is not innate or
instructive. 1t is acquired The moth
er's milk contains very little salt Cows
milk has at least four times rs much
but even with this amount the adult
who should live on milk alone-s say
three quarts day-would take more
chlorides than he needs"
NJ. Laufer discrcdlts all tales Of i'll
ness from the discontinuance of salt.
The French soldiers who We're said to
have suffered from the lack of salt in
the siege of Metz did So he says, simply
because they required ii to hide the
taste of the spoiled meat that they
were forced TO eat. The story of the
Russian serfs, who ere reported to
have fallen i'll when deprived of salt
by their lords, bears on its face, M.
Laufer thinks, marks of its falsity.
Among the chief morbid symptoms
said TO follow from the lack of salt is
edema or swelling, but the writer
shows that nowadays Diet without
salt Is prescribed for this trouble and
has been effective in curing it. In the
same way he disposes 10 his satisfac-
ton of all the different ills said to
arise when one is deprived of salt.
Finally, he calculates the amount of
salt necessary to carry ON the proc
esses of organic animal life and the
amount lost by exertion and comes 10
the following conclusion:
"Our food, provided 1t constitutes n
proper regimen In the physiologic |
sense of the word, contains within it. /
self. and with no necessity Of adding /
to 1t from outside, sufficient salt for |
our needs. Literary Digest.

Golf Balls and Cables.

The use of gutta percha for subma-
rine cables and golf balls makes con
slant drains on the supply of this ma
terial, and substitutes are being cou-
stantly sought after In constructing a
cable the gutta percha is employed to
insulate the conducting wire from the
exterior metal sheath, and, though late
ly rubber has been employed for this
purpose on some shorter lines, yet for
long ocean lines the gutta percha is cen
sidered essential. Recently the German
telegraph department has made thor
ough test of some cables into whose
construction an artificial gutta percha
enters. This material is the invention
of Adolf Gentzsch of Vienna and Is a
mixture of india rubber and n palm
wax whose melting point is the same as
that of the rubber. The electrical prop
critics Of the compound are equal 10
those of gutta pcrcha, and the specifica-
lions of the contract with the German
government were more than satisfied in
actual tests. The cost of the artificial
gutta percha cables is about - per cent
less than the ordinary cable -Harpcr's

Grants of Land to Settlers.
The returns of the Interior Depart
ment show that the movement OF
American farmers northward to Can
ada is each month affecting larger
areas of the United States. Time was,
says the Winnipeg Free Press, when
the Dakotas, Minnesota and Iowa fur
nished the Dominion with the main
bulk of its American contingent. Last
year, however, forty-four states and
districts were represented in the of
fetal statement as to the former resi-
dence of Americans who had home
steaded in Canada. The Dakotas still
head the list, with 1905 entries, Min
nesota being a close second with 1887,
but with the exception of Alabama
and Mississippi and Delaware every
state in the Union supplied settlers
who, in order to secure farms in the
fertile prairie country of Canada, be-
came citizens of and took the oath OF
allegiance to, the Dominion. Last
year no less than 1854 Americans
entered for homestead lands in Can
ada.
From the Gulf to the Boundary,
and from ocean to ocean, the trek to
the Dominion goes on. Not only the
0heatgrowers of the central Missis-
slppi valley, but the ranchers of Texas
and New Mexico, and the cultivators
of the comparatively virgin soil of
Oklahoma, are pouring towards the
productive vacant lands of the Cana
dian Northwest. 1t is no tentative,
half-hearted departure for an alien
country that is manifested in this
exodus; 1t has become almost a rush
to secure possession of land which it
is feared by those imperfectly &C
quainted with the vast area of Can
ada's vacant lands, may all be acuuir-
ed before they arrive. There is no
element of speculation or experiment
in the migration. The settlers have
lull information respecting the soil,
wealth, the farming methods, the
laws, taxation and system of govern
ment of the country to which they
are moving, and they realize that the
opportunities offered in Canada are in
every respect better and greater than
those they have enjoyed in the land
they are leaving.
Canada can well afford to welcome
cordially every american farmer COM
ing to the Dominion There is no
question but that these immigrants
make the most desirable settlers OBJ.
tainable for the development of the
prairie portion Oh the Dominion. Full
information can be had from any au-
thorized Canadian government agent
whose address will be found else.
