Every farmer knows that cattle
and other livestock require GER
tain amount of salt, but a great
many seem to think that it doesn't
make much difference whether they
get salt once a day or once a month.
AS a matter of fact, it makes a
great deal of difference. If salt is
really needed by the animal, and it
certainly is, little of it is needed
every day. While it may not be as
necessary to feed an animal salt
daily as it is to supply it with wa
ter, yet the more nearly such regu-
larity is approached the better will
be the results obtained. Ifyou al
low your cattle to 90 without salt
for even week they become ex-
tremely hungry for it; then when
you give them a feed they eat too
much and an over supply of salt is
injurious to the system 1t causes
waste, and it interferes with the
working of the digestive organs and
fluids of the body. Putting salt in
the feed of live stock is a poor plan
unless the amount put in is very
small. Some people put it in Silase
and in hay While there is no OBJ
Lection to a little salt in feeds of
this kind, yet wlen too much is put
| in the cattle are forced to eat more
salt than it needs there is waste
of food nutrients that may become
quite important. The best way to
feed salt to live stock is to con-
stantly keep it before them; let
them eat as much or as little as
they will. They will know how to
regulate the amount fit is always
in reach. They will eat a little
every day Just what their system
requires. Missc uri Farmer& Breed

Poultry Show.

Several poultry fanciers are
working for a poultry show here
about Dec. 1916. The Farmers In
stitute will be in session here the
13 and ID and one of the speakers
will speak on poultry, therefore
this will be a good time to hold a
poultry show All who are inter-
ested in the poultry business any
way should cooperate in this work
1t is a business which brings much
money into the community and it
puts money into the hands of the
people every bus pess day in the
year. Hence a poultry show will
not only enable our fanciers to show
their fine birds but will incre ase in
terest in the poultry business and
thus help make it better and bring
more money into our community.
Be found cooperating with those
who are trying to get up the poul-
try show here Dec. 1916.

What She Found.

A young married woman of
Shelbina who was away from home
on a few days visit, discovered that
she had lost her watch, and thought
she had dropped it on the dining
room floor at home, so she wrote
the hired girl as follows;
Let me know if you found any,
thing on the dining room floor"
A few days later she received a
letter from the girl. saying:
Dear Madam: was to let you
know if i found anything on the
floor. This is what l found this
morning; thirteen empty beer bot
ties, 10 cigar butts, five cigarette
ends, ID blue and 81 red poker
chips, a rat, one pink satin slipper
and a merry widow hat under the
apple tree near the hammock"
The wife hired an auto and was
home in a few hours.

Points for Fire Prevention Day.

Points for Fire Prevention Day
Fire losses in the United States
and Canada in 1910 were 1884
406,5O0.
The losses and costs of fire pre-
vention in the United States each
year amount to more than the total
production of gold, silver, copper
and petroleum.
Our loss by fire is over $500
minute.
About one-third of all the fires
are caused by the careless use of
matches.
The United States use more
matches than all the rest of the
civilized world combined.
Fifteen hundred people are killed
and 5000 are injurad annually as a
result of fire.
The total cost of education in the
United States is $401, 397,777. The
losses. and cost of fire prevention
exceeds this by $50,000,000.
Nearly 10000 matches are
scratched every second of the day
in this country every one a posi-
BILE fire.
The most common sources of
fire are
Careless use of matches.
Gasoline.
Some of the other sources of
fire are:
Open crates.
Use of oil in starting fires =
Defective fues.
Filling lamps near a fire.
Careless burning of trash in dry
weather. Rising Sun LInd) Re-

Caldwell is right in style with

Iapsible cup and is in a good state
of preservation for many years. Mr.
Caldwell has used the cupon State
occasions" but now that people
must carry their individual drink
ing cups Mr. Caldwell carries this
one all the time. No, it is not for

1t sometimes look very much
like we have in this country one
law for the rich and another for the
poor John R. Walsh a Chicago
banker swindled hundreds of poor
people out of their savings and for
this was sent to the penitentiary
for only five years, think of it only
Sugars. then he was pardoned the
other day after serving only about
one-third of this time. Had he
have been poor man perhaps not
able to work and have stolen lit
tie something to keep his family
from starving he would have gotten
a longer penitentiary sentence and
then he would have to serve the en-
tire time.

In days agone our Republican
friends were wont to tell us abont
that full dinner pail for working
men and that only Republican high
tariff was needed in order that all
working men have full dinner
pail. How things have changed,
Now the working man is getting but
little if any higher wages than he
was but everything necessary to fill
the dinner pail has made a great
advance in price. And not this
alone but all articles used in the
home, the clothing etc. have ad.
vanced and the working man must
keep all going on the same ole
wages.

The business world is a public
way and the trusts have no moral
right to put a fence across it or in
any way to demand tribute. The
laws which our Republican friends
have made however, give the trusts
unnatural rights greatly to the in
jury of business and the rights of
the people.

Taft is not sincere in his talk OF
revising the tariff downward, That
is only talk for the purpose of get

which puts on high tariff in order
that the trusts and monopolies may
