USE OF MINERALS.
There is certainly sufficient justification from scientific experiment and practical experience for the discreet use of mineral supplements on the farm: In some cases immediate benefits may be - derived, and in others It may take many months in the lifetime of the individual animal to demonstrate observable effects. But of even greated importance yet is the probability that by correcting existing mineral deficiencies, or even by supplying, rather more of certain factors than- would appear theoretically to be necessary, the feeding may be so improved as to bring about a corresponding improvementin the general nutritional condition. The stock feeder cannot be better occupied than in the study of modifications of his feeding methods, with a view to bring about improvements in growth, in increased vitality and longevity, and in freedom from disease.
