From July 18bh to August Ist the same cows received four pounds of salt each. The milk given during the two periods was as follows r For period with salt, 564 lbs.; for period without salt, 454 lb.; gain from use of salt 110 lb. The man who keeps salt and water where his herd can have access to them at will undoubtedly profits by it.
