Sals Poisoning

Samples of salt arc occasionally
sent to the agricultural college for
analysis with the statement that ami
mails, usually cattle or sheep, were
poisoned after eating it in consider
able quantities. In no ease has any
foreign substance that would account
for the poisoning been found.
Since salt is necessary TO life, and
is in universal use it is diifcuit to-
realize that in large amounts it is
poisonous. Many cases CT poisoning
in chickens have been reported and
occasionally il larger animals. In
one instance salt was 10y mistake used
instead of sugar in making cake.
The cake was given TO the chick ems
and killed all of them. Chickens are
very suscep tible TO salt poisoning
and, while the amount it takes to
kill a horse or COW is considerable
this sometimes occurs when these
animals are especially salt hungry.
When animals have not had access
to salt for long time it is safer to
give it to them sparingly at first

not be exceeded. The thirteenth

Evidently the middleman was little

OF compensation when scarcity was

Whatever passed in council is held

five statesmen departed separately,
iour in their motor cars, and the
workingmen' spokesman afoot.
Afterwards, the King gave an au-

ciined to undertake the formation Of
new ministry, and then to Mr..
ILloyd-George. who accepted :he re-
sponsibility, as everyone anticipated
he would If the opportunity came to
him.
The official announcement tonight
that Mr.. Lloyd-George had under
taken the task. with the cooperation
o. Mr.. Bonar Law, was a notification
that the new government would be
coalition. Any party government
would be impossible because neither
the Unionists nor the Liberals have a
majority in the House of Commons;
either one must attach the Irish Ma.
tionalists or the Laborites to itself
to command majority. The Ma
tionalists have refuse to participate
in the government until home rule
becomes established. The Laborites
are sworn enemies to Mr.. Lloyd
George because they resent his ac-
cusations that the workingmen have
put their personal interests above the
National interests at times during the
war.
