Old straw stacks, eaten a fourth or a third of the way under, are not iufre quent sights in barnyards at thU sea son of the year. Later on when the rtock is taking refuge from a storm under the ledges of these traps, a stror.g wind will topple them over, and sometimes enough stock will be kt.led or crippled to kn ck the profi's out of farming for a whole year. Aside from the danger of injury to stock, there are goo 1 reasons whv these untdgh'ly bie. ts should be torn down. The straw which composes thr-m will not be tit for feed next winter. The best thing that can be done with it is to turn it into manure as s mn as possi ble. This can best and most tff act ually be done by tearing them down and pc.ittertng ihe straw thickly over the ground. In relation to the value ot salt in the dury the correspondent ot an ex change says: A Wisconsin d.tirymt: lately told me he milked seventeeu cows the past scson, and early in the summer ran out of salt, and having re -d in an agricul'ural paper that cow.- d' just as well without salt he nog let ted to g t another barrel. The drouth came, the inilk-fl iw dropped to about 2-0 poundsof milk a dav, whicl gave no profit, nor did it increase af- t'r the na-tures were frcehened bv rains. He bought a caiload of mill stun and begm feeding, but still re ceived only 220 pounds of mlk a d.ty. and sevtr.il of the cows would hold up their milk once or twice a week. Then he begun to salt regularly every day and the mcrcai-e was steady until on the same feed they were producing 3S0 pounds of milk a day, and in ctead of beingkept at a loss, yielded a fmr profit.
