j'.Tlic value and ingredients of stock [licks wore discussed at toe recent meeting ol sheep breeders at Massey College by Air 1C K. ]} [ Grimmett. Ibe method of supplying deficiencies of essential minerals" to"’live stock per medium of a salt lick is of such importance in New Zealand, where many serious deficiencies are known to exist, that it is little wonder Mr Grimmett’s address was closely followed b.v his audience. Mineralised salt licks are almost universally required throughout the Dominion, hut owing to the variation in soil composition, the ingredients necessary in one area may he entirely superfluous in another. Mr Griimnett made this abundantly clear and also stressed the fact that simplicity in composition was to be desired in preference to the use of complicated formulae, which might conceivably injure tire stock through an over supply of some element already present in abundance in the pasture. —H.13.T. in Auckland Herald.
