Cattle Know Their Salting Days
GEORGE ANDRUS, an extensive farmer of Goguac Prairie, Mich., and one who has had much success in stock-raising, recently stated as a most singular fact that his drove of cattle always knew on what day they were to be salted. It has been the custom to give them salt at the barn-yard every Sunday morning during the spring, and once in two weeks, or every other Sunday morning during the hot weather. This the cattle have well learned, and during the spring they will come up the lane regularly each Sunday morning, and stand there bellowing and making a great noise until they are salted, when they will return to their pasture lot, which is some distance away. This they do regularly every Sunday morning, and never make a mistake of coming in on any other day. The same fact is still more strange in summer, when they only come up once in two weeks.—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
