SALTING SHEEP.
One Man Who Has Found 1t Better
Not to Provide Salt Box.

Keep salt before the sheep con-
stantly, seems to be the general idea
among farmers. For years l followed
the plan of sailing sheep regularly
or kept salt before them constantly.
l often doubted the policy, but habit
was strong, and continued the prac-
tice up to few years ago, when l
practically discontinued sailing save
during the winter when on dry feed,
and then rather sparingly, explains a
writer in Farm and Home. The re-
suits have been very satisfactory.
When sheep have access to salt
they go to it many times day, thus
creating an abnormal thirst. If water
is not at hand they suffer more from
thirst than for want of salt were it
withheld. From this great thirst
they will drink from any stag
nant pool much more water
than they need, taking into
their stomachs great numbers of dis
ease-breeding germs. While salt may
stop indigestion when taken in prop
err quantities, it is poisonous when ia
ken too freely.
There used to be under my sheep
barn box with lid so arranged that
stock would lift it and get salt and
then the lid would drop down again,
keeping out all dirt and trash. This
lids dropping down could be heard
frequently day and night, showing
how often the box was visited. A hard
beaten path led from the salt box to
the watering place, about eight rods
away.
It occurred to me that there was
no use of all this; the sheep were
both eating too much salt and drink
ing too much water. I noticed also
that they had bowel trouble. Since
removing the cause of this great
thirst my flock do not take more than
one-half the water, are quite free
from bowel troubles, and are as con-
tented as before. l do not advocate
feeding no salt at all, but give much
less than is used by many.
The enterprise. [volume] (Harlem, Mont.) 1899-1926, 1908-12-02

1t. In 1890 there were 1862 hospitals while in
1903 there were $685. and many of the older ones
had been enlarged In other words, the country
is taking care of the insane and taking them out
OF their homes, and incidentally the idea grew
that because the institutions were increasing in
number and size the number Of cases was like
wise growing abnormally
1t Is not generally supposed that there is a
brighter side to insanity The 100000 people of
this country who have relatives in asylums prob
ably do not see this bright side and few of the
other millions realize it. But nevertheless it is
fact that the darkest days of the affection are
over
Nearly every patient in an institution is normal
in all but or two subjects. The dangerous
insane are, of course, another matter; to them
it is always night, and will be until some genius
discovers a method of treating the brain
more satisfactorily than is known at the present
day. But these others are normal human beings,
with normal wants and ideas on all subjects but
two.
In the old days this normal part of their nature
never had it's outlet; their lives were never given
the leeway necessary for even moments happi
ness. But to-day it would not be an exaggeration
to say that the insane in Institutions are reason
ably happy lot
In many institutions entertainments are given
regularly by the inmates. The man who has the
idea that he is King Edward is allowed to sit
in his royal box in all his majesty, and his other
faculties unimpaired he enjoys the show to
it's utmost. The woman who believes she has in
heried a million from her uncle sits in the front
row, happy in the belief that in a few days she
will leave the institution and buy silk dress for
every woman she leaves behind.
The INDUCING principle in the treatment of the
insane to-day is simply to humor them whenever

WALK OF THE HORSE.
Great Difference in the Gait Of, Even
of Same Breed.

There is much difference in differ.
ent individual horses of the same and
every breed in the matter of walking,
some having quicker steps and a
longer stride, which means the cover
ing of greater distance in less time. I
have found that there are slow,
medium and fast walkers in every
breed, says writer in Farmers Re-
view. AS in running, pacing and
trotting the walk can be made faster
by proper handling in nearly all cases,
but some animals improve more than
others. It would be impossible to
make a good fast walker out of
horse whose step was very short. l
have noticed no difference in speed at
the walk in the light breeds of horses
and others that were fast walkers.
The action in walk, as in trot or other
gaits, is largely inherited. l have
owned many horses that came from
third and fourth generation, almost
all Of them having the same kind of
action, both in walk, trot and the sad
die gaits. I am, however, unable to
say all were good at fat-foot walk,
but many of them were, and it is my
opinion that while | think the good
walk is largely inherited, it can be
much improved by good rider or
driver. | do not think the feed given
horse can affect his walk. OF course
horse in good condition feels we'll
and will travel faster than one not
well fed but this is as far as feed
would enter into the question.

The pens of many pigs are not dry
and with wet pens come dirty pens
So long as the pen Of the hog is dry
he will be clean, for he is by nature a
clean animal. The hog quarters
should be so well drained that they
will never be even damp, and they
should be cleaned out often. It is
a mistake to use the hog yard as 2
place in which manure can be made
