Cattle, as well as horses, have been on
served to thrive better ln salt marshes than
IN fresh ster meadows, or upland pastures;
Andit has been conjecturtd, that the herbs
produced by the lands near the sea, are more
healthy tor herbaceous animals, than such
as grow on higher lands. But It is said, that
the saline particles with which the earth, as
we'll as its produce near the SEA, Il strongly
impregnate ,occ casons this ben .,,jal change
in the condition of cattle: as the salts purge
away the foul humours which the beasts
have contracted, either by idleness, OF by
being over heated in labour. AS cattle are
naturally fond of salt, and if lett at their lib
erty will take no more of it than what is con-
ducive to their health, it is recommended To
lay common sea- salt in the fields, for them
to lick as often as they please.
