SALT IS ESSENTIAL
FOR DAIRY CATTLE
Important Item Often Overlooked
in Cows Ration-Put in
Convenient Place.
(By E. v. ELLINGTON, Idaho Expert
-g... s- .. ment Station.)

(By E. v. ELLINGTON, Idaho Expert
~. ment Station.)
An important item that is often over.
looked in the management of the dairy
herd is the necessity of providing salt
In the ration of the COW. All animals
that consume large quantities Of veg.
etable food require salt. Babcock OF
the Wisconsin experiment station
found in his experimental work that
the cattle when deprived Of salt be.
came emaciated and were of low vi
tally and finally suffered complete
breakdown. He recommended that
they should be fed three-fourths of an
ounce per day with an additional six
tenths of an ounce for each 20 pounds
of milk produced.
While salt may be provided in the
daily ration by mixing 1t with the
grain, an equally satisfactory method
in practice is to keep 1t in a conven
lent place. where the animals may
have ready access to it when they sc
desire. It may be used in the form
of rock salt or placed in boxes in the
feed lot. However, 1t should be borne
in mind that salt is very essential tt
the economical handling and health o.
dairy cattle.

Pays to Advertise.

Churches in New York realize the
great advantages Of advertising, and
besides using the columns Of the daily
papers in their soul-saving work and
electric signs and crosses on their edi-
fees they send out solicitors, men and
women, to help swell their congrega-
lions and enlarge their Sunday schools.
But the most daring church "ad" 10
that Of Rev. DR.. Fred Winslow Adams.

Episcopal church. He decided to de-
liver series of sermons ON Love
Stories From the Bible" for which he
had an artist draw a fetching poster
Of two lovers when the moon drops
low. Thousands of copies in blues.
browns and orange tints were distrib-
uted, and in addition the pictures were
printed in the newspapers as paid
matter" Since the minister began to
exploit the Love Stories" his congre-
cations have more than doubled.
Which again demonstrates that 1t pays
to advertise.

Hive Of Industry.
In Glasgow prosperity Is Astounding.
This is accounted for by the enormous
demand In the shipyards and In the
great engineering shops. From Green
ock to the Broomielaw every shipyard
on the Clyde is choked with work. The
banks Of the river are hive Of indus
try in shipbuilding and ship repairing
In the great steel works the same
story Is told. The guns that are being
forged. the munitions that are being
made. are beyond reckoning In guam
tity and Glasgow has money far in ex-
cess Of the days before the war. At
a football match played in Glasgow on
the third Saturday Of October between
the Celtics and the Rangers about TO-
900 spectators were present. The total
OF the gate money was not published.
but ] know that the sum taken was
between $500 and $4,000
OF course Glasgow is different from
other cities, for there q very great
part of the male population has been
ton, to stay at home for the purposes
of national industry. Indeed when the
nation began the organization of its
industry for war purposes great num-
bers Of mechanics were brought back
unwillingly from field service to take
their places in the workshops.
Edinburgh Hard Hit.
In Edinburgh, where the law courts,
the university and the rich insurance
and investment companies give so
much employment to highly educated
men. the collapse Of Investments, the
almost deserted courts and the drop in
the number Of students, who prefer
the battle field to the professors lee
lures, have all had an adverse effect
Life, however. goes on almost as usual.
The theaters and other places Of
amusement are crowded. the restaur-
ants and the tea rooms are always gay
and the streets are filled with military
men. Prince street ia thronged by
the same fashionable crowd.
