Can Be Used In A Hundred Ways On The Farm Of all materials purchased for farm use, salt, properly applied, is (the most consistent *Honey maker sd mope saver., It is truer te- nomy to uy a- bag too mueci than one pound too little. The things that interest a practical farmer are such topics as lard, livestocky field crops, barns fertilizers, butter and cheese, meat and eggs. For all of these, salt has some definite, prac- tical, money saving or money mak- ing use. In feeding of livestock, it has been shown by Dominion Gov- ernment tests that the cost of salt, properly fed, is returned to the farmer 3 to 14 times over. Because salt is so universally ne- cessary, it often used a vehicle to carry other food necessities which nature fails to supply. This is the reason for such products as iodized. stock salt and iodized table salt. There are large areas in Ontario and the Western Provinces where natural foods contain almost no iodine. Iodized stock salt, in block form or loose, should be given the farm stock. This simple step saves thousands of young pigs, calves, lambs and foals, for the farmers of Canada every year. Take no chances; if yoif suspect iodine de- ficiency, use "Windsor" Iodized Salt regularly. It means stronger, healthier, more productive livestock, in any case. CHOOSING FARM SALT Coarse salt is salt or large grain size; fine salt is salt of relatively small grain: that is all that the words "coarse" and "fine" imply. As applied to salt neither word has any reference to quality, purity, or price. "Coarse" does not mean "crude and cheap," nor does "fine" mean "refined and dear." Coarse salt is made by the "open pan" evaporation of brine which uses heat less efficiently than the. "closed pan" method employed to make fine salt and it is therefore more expensive to produce than fine salt. Fine salt is purer and drier than coarse salt; it contains more actual salt per 100 pounds. Because it is in .smaller grains it is more adaptable to mixing with feeds, for spreading on hay, etc. Fine salt is actually cheaper. Coarse salt should be purchased only for such special uses as curing ,hides and for freezing mixtures. For those purposes specify coarse salt. IFor other farm needs specify fine salt.. • SALT FACTS::`, A mixture of ice and salt, three parts ice to one part salt will give a temperature well below freezing, in which many dainty desserts may be readily frozen. Remember this on hot summer days. Use coarse salt for this purpose. A top dresing of salt binds dirt roads and paths, making the mhard and smooth. It dampens and lays the dust, yet prevents excessive mudding in wet weather. Keeps dirt from be- ing tracked into the home. The cause of heat cramps and heat ' exhaustion is loss of salt through ex- cesive perspiration. Salt in drink- ing water makes up the loss and pre- vents such conditions. At haying and harvest time give your work horses extra salt. They will work better. Salt is a controlling factor in an animal's use of mineral substances, such as ,calcium, phosphorous, iodine and iron. No mineral supplement is complete without salt. Proper feeding of salt increases the value of mineral mixtures.

FOURTEEN ERRORS OF LIF To expect to set up pm' own stand - and of right and'•wrong and' expect everybody to conform. To try to measure the enjoyment of others by our own. • To expect uniformity of opinton in this world. To look for judgment and experi- ence in youth. To endeavor to mould all disposi- tions alike, Not to yield to unimportant trifles. To look for perfection in our own actions. To worry ourselves and - others about what cannot be remedied. Not to alleviate if we can all that needs alleviation. Not to make allowances for the weaknesses of others. To consider anything impossible that we cannot ourselves perform. To believe only what our finite minds can grasp. To live as if the moment, the time, the day were so important that it would live forever. To estimate peo!'e by some out- side quality, for it is that within which makes the man. Owner's Son: Dad, all of our board- ers got mad this afternoon and ,left.

WINNIPEG—New supplies of serum were being rushed to Manitoba to combat an outbreak of disease which is killing horses in central and south- west sections of the province. Provincial and Dominion authorit- ies co-operated to fight the strange. ailment. The nature of the disease, which has taken a toll of at least 75 horses, was not definitely known, but it was believed to be encephalomyelitis, which attacks the brain and spinal columns of horses. The bite of a new type of mosquito was thought to trans- mit the minute virus. Viscera of the dead animals has been sent to Ottawa for laboratory diagnosis.. In the meantime, local quarantine measures in the infected areas are being enforced. At a meeting, at which preventive measures were discussed, Hon. D. G. 11'IcKenzie, Manitoba minister of agri- culture, promised the co-operation of his department with the Dominion health of animals branch. Whatever measures may be ordered by federal authorities will be backed by the pro - Vince. Serum for combating the outbreak has been exhausted, and orders have been rushed for fresh supplies. The serum is difficult to obtain and is ex- pensive, the three applications re- commended by veterinaries costing 325 per horse. The outbreak first appeared in southwestern Manitoba, rapidly spread north and northeastward. Provincial authorities have no accur- ate estimate of deaths, or the number of horses attacked, One report told of 126 deaths in one area. Reports of new outbreaks were received from Hartney, Elgin, Boissevain and Pear- son. XP CT 3 MILLION - IN A YEAR FROM A"SN" TAX Two Months' R e v e n u Amounts to $504,574 fC Treasury of the Gpverno ment. Toronto.—Based on returns fo' the first two months' operation o the new Act, the Provincial Trea* ury will be enriched more than $84. 000,000 through the amusemen tax in 12 months at the expense o theatre owners, sport organization* and patrons, according to statistic compiled by the Allied Sports and Amusement Association, Talriug Heavy Toll This will be more than four times greater than the Amusements Tax revenue of $745,056 for the fiscal, year of 1934 and 200 percent. greater than the tax total of $1,016,- 793 collected' in 1932 when -the Gov- ernment granted exemption on ad- missions of 25 cents and under. "Amusements tax returns for the last two months plainly indicate how the people of moderate means and children are being badly hit by the new impost," declared W. M. Gladish, secretary of the associa- tion which is waging a campaign against the entertainment levy. "The chief changes in the new Amusements Tax Act were the wiping out of -the exemption on low-priced admissions and a tax in- crease of 150 percent. on the 30 - cent ticket, which was the lowest admision previously assessed. The tax revenue for July was five, times greater than that for the same month one year ago. Therefore it is the ordinary man and his family who are shouldering the burden. The figures only emphasize the need for amusements tax modifications without delay." "The one big blunder is in calling the English simple when they are subtle."—G. K. Chesterton.
