FARM ANIMALS
CRAVE FOR SALT
II Placed Within Easy Reach
They VIII Consume Just
What They Need
and no More.

All farm animals have an instinc-
tive craving for salt. But If 1t is SO
placed as to be always within their
REACH, they will consume just as much
as they need. and no MOI n is only
when it has been kept from them for
a long period that there is danger OF
their eating too much. 1t is therefore
an excellent practice to keep It in a
box or boxes where they can have
access to 1t whenever they desire.
When they are sailed, as is the prac-
tice with many farmers, only once a
week, while some may get enough,
others may suffer from a deficient
supply. Salt promotes an active cir
culation of the blood, which never be
comes thick and sluggish so long az
the supply is plentiful; 1t assists di-
gestion, and is often a preventive of
disease. II is so cheap that no stock
raiser can really afford to deny IN his
animals all they want of 1t.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Don't fail to try the new marmalade
which is cheap, pretty and very, very
good. The proportions are one and
half pounds of carrots, two lemons
and a pound and a half Of sugar.
Scrape the carrots and put them
through the meat chopper, add
enough water TO moisten and put into
q double boiler to cook. Wash the
lemons, cut fine. excluding the seeds
and the white portion; put them on to
cook In a double boiler When they
are we'll cooked, combine the two and
add the sugar. Boil until thick, watch
ing carefully to avoid burning. Put in
glasses or Jars, as desired.
One may vary this recipe by using
two oranges and one lemon, which
will be similar to orange marmalade.
When you can't think Of anything
for luncheon or supper, try sardines
on toast. Put the sardines into fry
ing pan and heat through. Place on
hot buttered toast. Serve with raw
onion chopped fine. The onion may
be put in lettuce leaves and arranged
around the plate.
Quick Egg Soup.-This is a whole
some and appetizing soup for children,

draws the blackened piece to leap three times
through the flames of the bonfire, although ac
cordng to tradition the man who in ancient times
was unfortunate enough to draw the blackened

rihce to the flames in the hope that the god Baal
might be induced to grant prosperous and pro-
ductive year. To this same origin is traced the
modern Irish custom of making the cattle pass
between fires, lighted at short distances, or OF
having fathers jump or run through the flames
with their children in their arms.
The ancient Romans, unlike the Druds, made
May Day festival of flowers instead OF an &C.
casion for sacrifices, and consequently It is rea-
sonable to suppose that most of presentday
ideas as to the May holiday in this country may
be traced back to the Romans. Indeed, the
images of Flora that graced the Roman festivals
had their prototypes in the Maydolls which were

II does not pay to graft trees which

this proves too much for the tree and

May-poe, erected with much ceremony, of
