GIVE cows SALT REGULARLY Y
Best Plan ls 10 Have Box Handy
Where Animals Can Help Them
selves Whenever They Wish.

Don't forget to salt the cows. In
experiments it has been found that a
COW should have three-fourths of an
ounce of salt a day live weight, with
an additional sixtenths OF an ounce
for each twenty pounds of milk pro
.duced, to keep her in the best of con,
dition.
Animals deprived OF salt become
emaciated and of low vitality, finally
suffering a complete breakdown. Salt
should be provided regularly.
The best plan is to have a box con,
tanning salt where the animals can get
to Il whenever they so desire. Either
fine salt or rock salt can be used. al
though We prefer the latter.
