| | |   50 pound salt block. This 50 pound block of salt cost $4.99.  That's right, 10 cents a pound retail for something once so valuable that the very word salary derives from it.  In solid block form salt like this is meant for licking by cattle.  It's called a salt lick and you get them at farm supply stores.
