According to the Wyalusing Rock
ct a Lime Hill farmer is successful
in preventing grubs in his cattle by
sprinkling salt upon their backs. He
sagely cautions farmers against let
ting the cattle run loose with horses
or colts " for fear that these animals
will injure the cows in their efforts
to secure the salt" If it were de-
sirable to let cattle and horses run
together under such circumstances,
| the danger suggested could easily
be obviated by keeping plenty of salt
in box or trough where the horses
could get it as they desire. Salt
should always be kept within reach
of domestic animals; it is necessary
to their health. 1t is far better to
have it constantly accessible than to
dose it out in undue quantity at long
intervals.

Two hundred times has Captain
Claus Russ, of the Hamburg-Ameri-

crossed the Atlantic Ocean, and in

his fifty-siX years at sea have not
been in vain. Captain Russ went to
sea when three years old. His faith
er was in the China trade at that
time. His actual service began in
1871, and in 1890 he entered the
service of the Hamburg American
line. After considerable calculation
Captain Russ has figured that if he
could have put those two hundred
gone around the world about twenty
five times.
