(jlreat Bait Lake In Utah contalne enough salt to allow fifty tons to each man, woman and child in the United States. A man once complained to me about his ba<^ feelings, pain in his "luBides," whereupon I asked him what he ate. He was a very "keerful" eater, much raw fruit, bananas, oranges, pkteivt cereal, milk, bread, banned and stewed fruit. I told this man that I knew of a capsule which might help htm?In fact had some at home that I would give him to try. He wos.fo take one at each ..meal and two followed by a glass of water before hfe went to bed. He said be felt better the very next day, in fact he noticed he felt brighter tlie first night before he had even got to sleep. I didn't have the capsules ready-?I fixed them up for him, nothing but common salt, the same that I was. giving to the mules and sheep. Never in my life had I myself taken a capsule of salt. Fourteen miles from this farm I once bought a flock of sheep that everybody had dodged. Men who had gone to buy the ewes advised me to "leave them alone." A farmer of whom i made inquiry as to where I might find/these sheep told jne that somethink ailed them and they were "doing no good." The flock was owned by a' yroman who lived several miles away.- I drove to that back pasture four different times * to look at these sheep (it was November)?the asking price had busted on account of the bad rep and I bought the ewes. Theye wasn't a thing the matter with prose ewes, except their salt had been neglected. ' ? ... A neighbor near me who feeds lambs had been losing too many early in the winter. Everything was scrutinized?he is a first-class lamb feeder?were the lambs getting a bit too much silage or maybe a flock of mold despite his vigilance? The vet called and suggested he shift from block i salt to loose salt?and the lambs., "went right ahead and' straightened up." The flock was large* the barn1 was large and new to them, a jungle of feedracks; from western range to highpower feedlot called for a higher powered digestion, and evidently the lambs' were not getting sufficient Bait from the block to: keep their inside works going exactly right. Hired men used to be the commeft thing in the farm horse stable. They often were the kind who forgot to salt the horses?oolio was a common cause ofafarm and Heath among the horses on farms when I was a boy. Many J? farm Hand has boon fired the next day after, a good horse died of the colic. It is now recognized that horses Stand hot weather better when'adequately salted. I was once asked to gO and see two high priced rams that a doctor had bought three hundred miles awdy and sent to his-farm in-the country, work-, ed by a hired man. One ram was not able to/stand, but when the hired man" stepped up to the animal this ram began greedily Unking his shoes! The shoes had beeh greased with fryings from salt pork and What ailed these two registered rams was they were dying for salt! /? On our farm we have applied a lot of salt to kill Canada thistles?sad when the land "comes back" it seems g^ts-fr more green and ..lcij matters of soil fertility and action of commercial fertilizers our agronomists arp not nearly as cocksure as they Used to be.?Hiram Dobbin, In Pennsylvania Farmer. t% *51]^ Columbia.
