Salt Cows Often.

Dairy cows should be salted often
at least every second day. Salt
gives them appetite, aids digestion
and assimilation of foods and tends
to increase the milk flow. Cows that
are not salted regularly often take
more than is good for them when
supply is furnished, resulting in
bowel disorder and other physical de-
rangement.

companied them to the city. Many re-
ceptions have been planned for the Wis
itors and Thursday there will be a big
naval. demonstration in honor of the

LACK OF RECRUITS
Doctor Cochran, who is from Phila-
delphia, spoke in the afternoon on the
report Of the board of education, which
deplored in unmistakeable terms the
lack of recruits to the ministry. The
report was read by DR.. Edgar p. Hill
of Chicago, who stirred the assembly
to a high pitch by his word picture
of the ignorance among immigrants,
due, he said, to the fact that no Pro-
testant denomination and surely not
the Presbyterian, had taken the trou-
bic to stir up a sufficient number of
ministerial recruits to work among
these people.
The demand for more ministers was
then taken up by Doctor Cochran.
why can't we get the young men
to preach?" said he. I'll tell you. In
the first place there is but little Chris
tianity in the home. If there is any,
it is gone by the time the young man
is ready for an education.

Christian school? A Presbyterian
school? No. He goes to goddess
to his home town he puts religion at

where to place the blame. This young
man has been educated where there
is no Christianity.
The need in this board of educa-
ton is not more money but for men,.
These young men must be taken in
hand when they are ready for an edu-
cation. They must be started right.
Now we can not Christianize these
state universities. but we can put a
shepherd in charge of the flock and
in this way keep these boys in the
flock, although they are being edu-
