Value of Salt for Sheep.
The value of snlt for sheep Is shown
by nn experlment ln Franco where three
lots of anlmals were fed on hay, straw
potatoes and beans for 124 days. Ono
lot had no salt, ono had half nn ounce
of salt each every day, and tho other
hnd three-fourths of nn ounce. Those
thnt had half nn ounce galned four nnd
a half pounds ench more than those which
had no salt and one and a quarter pounds
more than those which hnd more than
half an ounce. So It seems that too
much salt can be glven aa well ns too
little. The salted .sheep cltpped one
and three-quarter8 pound more of wool
nnd a better fleece than those that had no
salt, showing better results In the wool
that is, larger pront thnn In the flesh.

Scott's Emulsion is not a
ood medicine for fat folks.
We have never tried giving it
to a real fat person. We don't
dare. You see Scott's Emul
sion builds new flesh. Fat
people don't want it. Strong
people don't need it.
But if you are thin Scott's
Emulsion is the medicine for
you. It docsn't tire you out.
There is no strain. The work
is all natural and easy. You
just take the medicine and
that's all there is to it.
The next thing you know
you feel better you eat better
and you weigh more. It is
a quiet worker.

Blll of Partlculars Wanted on County
Bulldlngs Qucstlon.
Tho qucstlon of tho removal of tho
shlrc of Windham county from New
fnne to Brattleboro wlll doubtless bo
tho leadlng ono ln tho towns Interested
durlng the next few months. In order
that tho subject may bo consldercd In
telllgently why not havo tho blll which
Is to be prcsentcd to tho leglslaturo
drawn up as soon as practlcablo and
publlshcd In tho county nowspapcrs?
It Is certainly duo to the voters of tho
county before glvlng an expresslon of
oplnlon nt tho Septcmber electlon, as
proposcd, to know moro deflnltely as
to what wlll bo requlred of Brattleboro
under tho provlslons of tho proposed
blll. Is It meroly that Brattleboro
shall furnlsh a slto for a court house
wlth slmply four brlck walls thereon,
leavlng It for tho county to mako tho
large requlred outlay for vaults and
furnlshlngs, or Is the bulldlng to be
turned over when fully equlpped wlth
no expense to the county? How large
a sitm wlll the blll provldc to bc ralsed
by the county for the slto and the erec
tlon of a modcrn Jall bulldlng? What
rate of taxntlon wlll tho blll call for?
Tho Brattleboro proposltlon Is doubt
less mnde In good falth, but It Is too
general. lt would seem tho better way
to have tho speciflcatlons on paper
before closlng a contract.
