Why ik Animals Need Salt?
Prof. JaruesE. Johnston, of Scotland,
says : Upwards of half the saline mat
ter of blood ( 7 er rent.) consists of
common salt, and this is partly dis
charged every day through the skin
and kidneys: the necessity of contin
ued supplies of it to the healthy body
becomes sutlk-iently obvious. The bile
also contains soda (one of the ingredi
ents of salt) as a special arid indispen
sable constitUcntand so do all the car
tilages of the body. Stint the supply
of salt, thereafter, and neither will the
bile le able properly to assist digestion
nor the cartilage to bo built up again
as fast as they nattiraly waste. It is bet
ter to place salt where stock can have
free access to it, than to give oceaou
ally in large quantities. They will
help themselves to what they need, if
allowed to do so at pleasure; otherwise
when they become "alt-'uni-zrv"
they may ta!;e more than is whole-'
