SALTED HAY.
II Is Both Wholesome and Palatable TO
the Animals.

Why it is advisable to salt hay and
how much salt to use are, according to
a German authority, as follows:
Usually salt is only sprinlllcd on
hay when it has been wet with rain
or is of poor quality. Nevertheless 1t
may also be recommended for good
hay, even clover and meadow hay.
The salt will mainly help to keep tn.
lea YES of clover and sainfon hay from
falling off through its preventing it
from becoming too dry.
"Furthermore, the sailing will make
1t more wholesome and palatable to
the animals. For these reasons many
farmers also salt their best hay, espe-
cially because the keeping quality OF
the hay is increased. The hay sailed
with | per cent salt is eaten by cattle
and horses with pleasure, which IS eX-
planned by the fact that animals when
are fed a ration rich in potash Lave
natural craving for salt In order to
keep their blood provided with the
needed chloron and soda which Other
wise are lost by the assimilation OF
potash.
"And az all grass and hay alc rela-
lively rich in potash, it seems naturai
to add the salt. When the salt Is pro-
vided in shape of saltstone, they are
given chance to indulge to excess III
# therefore it is better &c give 1t 10
them by mixing it with the hay ac-
cording to their requirements, winch
furthermore IS a cheaper way.
"If | per cent salt is used the cattie
will get 80 grains salt for every zen
pounds of hay eaten, and that IS INC
nuontitv required by cattle of average
size. This may be Increased py Hall
when the feed is hard to digest.

Build For Permanency.

Land and property said a speaker at
a good roads convention, were valuable
in proportion to their accessibility to
market or pleasure, and whatever adds
to the accessibility enhances values.
The history Of the country, he stated,
bore witness to the most useless and
wasteful extravaganza in the use Of
money and labor on its highways, and
the lesson to be learned was to build
as did the ancients, for permanency
and with the utmost care and thought
for the future.

COUNTRY HIGHWAYS,
Some Points by Horatio S. Earle
on Their Improvement.
DRAGS AND COMMON SENSE.
Not All Roads Can Be Improved by
This Method, He Says-locate the
Trouble First-A Michigan Invention,
the Grant Rut-out, For Dragging.

In his biennial report Horatio S.
Earle. state highway commissioner of
Michigan, says regarding the improve
ment of earth roads:
No road, no matter of what material,
built in our climate can be good all the
year around unless the water is off
from the surface, out from the sub
grade and away through the bitches to
the natural water courses. 1t can only
be off when the road Is sufficiently
crowned so it can run off. This does
not mean that the slope from the cen
ter of the road to the side bitches
should be so steep as to make it i'm
possible for the rider in carriage 60
Ing north to see the driver of the team
going south over the central hump of
the road, but it does mean that the
road should have crown of about one
inch to the foot from the center to the
side bitches. This may seem to be too
much, but each year the center lowers
a little by wear and wash, and por-
ton of this substance so worn off
lodges at the sides, so that the steep
ness grows less each year. Then the
humps help to raise the sides to some
extent. A road must be kept clear of
ruts. 1t must be smooth. This can
best be accomplished by the frequent
use of the Grant rut-out.
1t isn't enough to get the water off
the road, and all the drags in Christen-
dom cannot make good road out of
road that is chock full Of water, even
though it be smooth on top so that the
