A drummer who was getting his baggage checked at the local A. S0 N. depot Tuesday morning had his foot caught under one of the big trunks which fell from the scales. The acci- dent, in a way, was an excusable one, as there was almost a carload of bag gage to be loaded and the baggage room was crowded with trunks; and besides there were a number of peo- pie in the baggage room scrambling to have their effects checked. It is not known whether any bones were broken but the gentleman who was injured seemed to be in great pain when the train pulled out.

SALTING SHEEP.
One Man Who Has Found It Bette r
Not to Provide Salt Box.

Keep salt before the sheep con-
stantly, seems to be the general idea
among farmers For years | followed
the plan of sailing sheep regularly
or kept salt before them constantly
l often doubted the policy, but habit
was strong, and l continued the prac-
tice up to a 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
er quantities. it is poisonous when ia
ken too freely.
There used to be under my sheep
barn a 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.
1t 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. | 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. I do not advocate,
feeding no salt at all, but give much.
less than is used by many.

A naturalist attached to one of

competition.

In the east the beauty and the pros
perity of country are gagged by the
abundance of it's water supply, for run
ming water means both fertility and
shade, and if a land is to flow with
milk and honey-to have. that is to
say, f1ocks and herds and wealth OF
flowers giving promise Of plenteous
fruit-there must be living springs to
clothe the earth with verdure and
leafy shelter for all living things as
defense against the powerful sun
which insures the ripening of the har-
vest The sound of running water,
with it's promise of fertility and cool
shadows, cannot, therefore, but be
soothing to the oriental, and so We
find that in the past all who could af-
ford such luxury, from emperor to
peasant, planted trees in gardens, in
camping-ground and in homestead,
and trained the passing streams to
rise and fall in miniature fountains or
to speak in ripping channels, while
eventide urged them to seek, maybe,
the breezes on lake and river, or to
worship by their banks. For in the
east water is. life and plenty and it's
absence misery and want; so that
there it seems unreasonable to deem
river sacred or to prevent pollution

is the haunt of powerful spirits
