Salting Livestock
Livestock are more likely to be
salted when on pasture than when
kept up during the winter, even
though it is more convenient to
provide the salt during the win
ter. The habit of salting the
cattle once a week, or once every
two weeks, when on pasture, is
well established and quite gener
ally followed. In winter, and
for that matter at all times, the
best wav to provide salt is to
place ordinary granulated or bar
relled salt under shelter, where
the livestock may run to it and
eat as they want it. Some mix
ashes and charcoal with it, while
others mix ground phosphate
rock. If salt is mixed with the
feed it should be remembered
that one-half to three-fourths of
an ounce daily is sufficient for
an animal weighing 700 to 1,000
pounds.—The Progressive Far

The cotton acreage for 1916
will be determined this fall. If
we feed ourselves, our soils and
our livestock, there will not be
too much cotton planted. The
cotton acreage will depend much
on the crimson clover, oats and
wheat sown this fall. We can
grow all the cotton needed for
1916 on the acreage planted to
that crop in 1915. If more cot
ton is needed better preparation
of the land, better seed and bet
ter cultivation will produce all
the increase required. --The Pro
gressive Farmer.
