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.
