Giving Salt to Animals.


For cattle and horses, rock salt
placed in boxes or troughs in winter
and scattered about the pastures on
the grass in summer Is preferable to
any other way. Rains have little
effect upon 1t and this will be found
both convenient and economical. For
sheep, however, this plan does not
work so we'll. The rock salt is so
slow to dissovle that they are not able
to get sufficient amount of 1t to
satisfy their wants, hence It Is neces-
sary to use the loose salt for them.
During the winter box can be
fastened up at a convenient height
so that they can have access to 1t at
all times of the day. In summer.
If they have not a shed to run under,
the box can be fastened to post
with a roof over it to protect it from
rain. If it is desired to use loose
salt for cattle, the same arrangement
can be used for the sheep. The roof
over the box should be high enough
to be entirely out of the way of the
animals. Where loose salt Is used,
1t is necessary to be careful to keep
a supply in the box all the time, as
the animals are liable to eat too much
II they 60 without for several days.

smokehouse, put an elbow on the
stove and ran a pipe in through the
side of the smokehouse. Then I
started little fire in the stove, and
as the smoke poured from the fun
mel it occurred to me to turn the
smoke down, SO l put on an elbow
with mouth pointing down, and as
that worked all right I put length
Of pipe on that and watched to see
what the smoke would do. In a
moment it poured from the pipe
right down near the ground. The
end of the pipe is four or five inches
from the grourM and nearly on a
level with the bottom Of the stove.
1t works finely. The cooled smoke
rising from the ground conveys no
heat to the meat, though quite a
little fire is kept in the stove. The
fire needs but little attention. as the
stove Is kept about closed all the
time. 1t is very satisfactory.-Kan-

WHAT WAS 1T
The Woman Feared?

What a comfort to find 1t is not
1.-The awful thing" feared, but only
chronic Indigestion, which proper
food can relieve.
A woman in Ohio says:
II was troubled for years with in
digestion and chronic constipation.
At times l would have such a gnaw-
ing in my stomach that I actually
feared l had al dislike to write or
even think of what I feared.
Seeing an account OF Grape
Nuts, 1 decided to try 1t. After a
short time l was satisfied the trouble
was not the awful thing l feared, but
was still bad enough. However, 1
was relieved of bad case of dyspep-
STA by changing from improper food
to Grape-Nuts.
Since that time my bowels have
been as regular as clock. had also
noticed before l began to eat Grape
Nuts that was becoming forgetful OF
where put little things about the
house, which was very annoying
But since the digestive organs have
become strong from eating Grape
Nuts, my memory Is good and my
mind as clear as when was young,
and I am thankful" Name given by

HcIDing Advertisers.

One of the best advertising agen-
cies in this country has a reception.
room known as the sweat box. .
Here the manufactures of an automo-
bile, or piano-player is invited be-
fore his advertising campaign opens
and a long consultation is held for
the purpose of getting at the facts
about his product AMI his business.
The manufacturer is willing to talk
and to tell all he knows. The World
Today says that formerly stenogra-
pher sat in the room and took down
everything the manufacturer said.
But the habit of dictatiOn hindered
him. He spoke formally and his
thoughts took useless channels. Now
the stenographer is hidden in COM
partment. The manufacturer talks
for record without knowing it. He
chats easily and has his commercial
portrait taken as though he were in
the studio of photographer who
hides the camera. He discusses COM
petition, manufacturing secrets, his
products, shortcomings, as we'll as
its beauties When he leaves the
sweat box his advertising agent
has and will keep in confidence data
upon which to build merchandising
plans, while the copy writer's have
their information.

Saving Labor and Food.

1t is a loss to keep an animal four
years II it can be gotten into market
when three years old, for the years
time saved means labor and food, as
we'll as interest on capital invested.
With the use of such beef-producing
breeds as the Shorthorns, Herefords,
Angus and Galloways, an average of
1000 pounds per animal has been OBJ
tanned in four years, while three-year
olds have reached 1900 pounds and
two-year-olds 1900 pounds, the daily
increase being over two pounds for
the yearlings up to two years old,
and from one and one-half pounds
to one and three-fourths pounds for
older animals. The live weights only

CONTAGION A QUESTION OF
PREVENTION.

Sinks, drains, eating and cooking
utensils, sick room linen and clothing
frequently carry the dreaded disease
germ unnoticed by the household.
Thorough and hygienic cleansing is
the best safeguard against infection,
and such a safeguard is found in
the universal household necessity

This simple preventive carries in it.

ter the fabric or act upon the article
to be cleansed in a hygienic manner,
eliminating every unwholesome prop
erty, rendering 1t contagion-proof.
while at the same time Borax is Of
itself as harmless as salt.
Unlike most disinfectants which de-
pend upon their strength of odor or
harmful-to-the-syst qualities, to ar
rest or prevent contagion, Borax Is
Natures remedy, being easy to OBJ
tain and easy to apply, simple solu-
ton in hot water being all the appli-
cation necessary and requiring no
prescription, it can be obtained from
any grocer or druggist in convenient,
economical household packages.
In addition to it's disinfecting quail
ties, Borax is especially household
necessity, and can be used for soften
ing water, cleansing and whitening
clothes, clearing the skin, whitening
hands, makes an excellent dandruff
remover and can be used on the finest
laces or most delicate fabrics without
injury, while as an adjunct to the
bath it removes all odor of perspira-
ton and leaves the skin soft and vel
