SALT FORK ON THE KOOF
Out of 10 farmers visited In t"ro
days 8 definitely relieved that
salt fed to hoys would poison or
kill then. It nl :ht be assumed
the percentage runs as hi ,h over
the entire valley.
Salt will hill hoys, cows, horses,
chickens, hum ns, snails aid quack
yrass; but net always. The chanc®
in favor of not killin livestock
and humans are so reat that for
generations salt has been fed to
all the above mentioned animals.
If you deprived a ply (or horse,
cow or man) of sc.lt for a lony
period of time then feed all he
can eat at 'one time he will ] ike
ly become sick -and maybe die. A
man may know when to stop but a
pi .j is a pi a; so is a cow some
time s.
If you are c '.vise ho.; farmer you
will have been feeding s .It to your
ho :s, havin ’ it before them at all
times.
If you have not been salt wise and
wish to become so, follow the out
line below:
1. Don’t f e& all the salt a pi ;
can "eat at the f irst sitting.
2. Start ;rr.:!uol3 y feeding perhaps
a teaspoon full per T>ij per day
(’in the feed preferably) the first
2 or 3 days.
3. Then increase the allowance
to 2 teaspoons put separately in a
box or trou 'h so he can refuse
part if not desired.
4. When the time is reached where
he has sufficient and some loft,
put a quantity in the box so he
can have what he desires when it
is wanted.
5. Water is a team mate to salt.
Give all tl e ’r".t^r wanted. Water
and salt are cheap feed. Animal’s
do not jot the full benefit from
expensive feeds unless salt and
water in abundance are furnished.
6. Don11 feed the salt in water
as brine. A pi : will usually
u- .uu xu uuu muuii duj-o onip
and become side or die. This is
probably one reason so man" people
believe salt rill poison ho;s.
7. If salt is used in a mixed
ration do not use more than % pound
to 100 pounds jrain. Hops re
ouire loss salt than other live
stock.
|B. Bloc]; salt nrovidcs a 1 ot of pood
exercise and some sore ton ues.
Coarse "ice cream" salt or ,'ldcs
better source of salt and is usual
ly cheaper than blocks.
9. Salt should bo placed where
rain will not wash it away.
