There is no question but what the use of plain white salt saves feed in sub- stantial quantities, promotes health, lessens losses and shortens the feeding period. Hamilton, Asst.

Did Your Clover Kill Out This Spring? Know the Reason. Many flelds are in good shape with practically no loss; a few flelds are showing considerable injury and will give an indifferent crop of hay, The principal factors causing clover kill ing are: Weakness due to lack of lime in the soil. Pigs Are Mosily Water! * The brood sow that is weil watered during the wintertime, and during the summertime too, has sn advantage over her neighbor that is compelled to eat snow and lick ice out of frozen troughs. Our experiments have de- monstrated that it is not essential to heat the sow's water but that it is advisable to supply frec, open water a couple of times daily or else have a 'water supply that is continuous and which of course does not freeze up.
