All farm animals have an Instlnc tive craving for salt. But if it is so placed as to be always within their reach, they will consume Just as much as they need, and no more. It is only when It Ims been kept from them for a long period that there is danger of their eating too much. It is therefor* an excellent practice to keep It in n box or boxes where they can have access to It whenever they desire. When they are salted, as Is the prac tice with many farmers, only once n week, while some may get enough, others may suffer from a deficient supply. Salt promotes an active cir culation of the blood, which never be comes thick and sluggish bo long as the supply Is plentiful; It assists di gestion, and Is often a preventive of disease. It to so cheap that no stock- raiser can really afford to deny to hie animals all they want of it. Root Crop* for Cow*. Roots can form to advantage a part of many rations, particularly where si- läge Is not available. They contain too much water to form the entire ra tion. Potatoes contain the largest amount of digestible matter, but are not readily eaten unlens cooked. Man golds are the heaviest ylelders, but con tain so large a percentage of water that they are rather expensive to han dle. Sugar beet* contain much les* water, but are more difficult to grow and do not produce bo heavy a yield. Artichoke* often make a profitable hog feed, where the hogs are permitted to do the harvesting.
