don't forget the salt
Because a mid-west dairyman didn't
happen to have any salt on hand
when ho was grinding feed one day,
he left it out. Within a few days
milk production of his 12 Holsteins
dropped about five pounds per head,
or about 60 pounds less milk each
day.
When he began hand feeding salt on
top of the grain, the cows came
back to normal production in only
two days.

DRINK IT PURE
From Alaska Lepartment of Health
Far too few persons ever give much
thought to the purity of their water
supplies. Many believe that if the
water is clear and sparkling it is
safe to use. "This is the purest and
best-tasting water in Alaska", and
"My family has been using this 'water
for twenty years, and it has never
made us sick", are familiar phrases
to the sanitarian.
Do you remember when you and the two
boys had that bad "stomach upset''
last summer? You blamed it on the
meat, but are you sure?
Surface water and water from unpro
tected wells, or wells too clcs. o

methods mav be used.
METHOD I
Boil the ’water. Allow it to cool.If
the water has a flat taste, pour it
back and forth between two containers
for two or three times.
: METHOD II
A. Add one drop of a solution such
as clorox, purcx,'.hite Sa.il, B.K.
Rainbow (containing 3.5% available
Chlorine) to each quart of wqter. If
it is desired to treat larger amount
of water, add one teaspoon of the
solution to 50 gallons of water.
B. Or, add four drops of Zonite (l$
available chlorine) per quart of
Water. The strength of the solution
to be.used (per cent of available
chlorine) will be found on the label
of the bottle. After adding the
chlorine solution, the water should
be mixed thoroughly, then allowed to
stand for 15 to 30 minutes.
METHOD III
Mix three tablespoons of chloride of
lime(usually obtainable from a drug
or grocery store) with a little water,
making a th.in paste; then add enough
water to make up a pint of solution.
Add nine drops of this solution to
each quart of water to be treated.Mix
thoroughly and allow to stand for 15
to 30 minutes. The presence of a
slight chlorine taste when Methods
II and III are used is evidence that
the water is safe to drink.
No matter from where you obtain yorr
water supply, you can make it saf i by
home treatment.
