SALT FOR ANIMALS
Salt is necessary for the physical
well being of the stock on the farm and
they will not thrive well without it. |
the wild animals, especially the deer |
family, proved this by hunting and tre- |
gquenting where the watar was |
of a saline nature. Salt plays an im-}
portant part in assimilating and ai- |
gesting the food that the animal eal 3 |
and also bas a good effect in stimulat- |
ing the appetite. 't seems to impart
more energy to the animal and a horse |
or cow which is regularly given salt]

when in good flow, sometimes produce
two pounds or more of butter per day
She should produce at least one pound
of bulfer per day. This is not an ex
traordinary performance for an indi
vidual, but it can be claimed as a good
“ecord when all the animals in the herd |
come up to such requirements. The
fact that not one herd in a hundred |
can be found that produces so largely |
does not destroy the possibility of se
curing such cows, as it is 2 matter of |
breeding and judicious selection. Why |
should two cows be kept to do this |
work when one will answer? Two |
cows require more attention, a greater
amount of food, and occupy more
room. Before a cow can give an ounce |
of milk or butter a portion of her food
must be used to repair the waste an
wear on her body. The warmth of the
system must be kept up, and all the |
na‘ural conditions be complied with |
before she can produce great yields

Don’t start nervously if a child
makes a noise or breaks a dish. keep
your worry for broken bones.
Don’t sigh too often over servants’

Don't get wildly excited If Bridget

ball table; the welfare of neither your
family nor the nation is involved
Don’t exhaust all your reserve force
over petty cares. Each time that a

temper, she loges
