From the .Ne,u England Farmer.
REMEDY FOR TICKS IN SHEEP.
MIR. FEssRNDEN-I observed an article
in the N. E Farmer, No. l Of the pres
,ent volume) recommending the dccoctlon
of tobacco for tho destruction OF ticks
upon sheep, but instead Of this applica-
lion, I Should prefer the smoke OF the to-
bacco. This can be used at any season
when sheep are discovered to be infested
with these troublesome vermin. The
operation is easily performed by means
Of a simple apparatus, found, probably,
in the kitchen OF every farmer, viz a
small skillet and hand bellows. A few
live Goals are first put into the skillet, and
then a few leaves Of tobacco, which soon
ignite. The clapper side of the bt llows
is then placed on the skillet, and in this
position it is held by one Of its handles,
together with the handle Of the skillet in
one hand of the operator. The other
hand being at liberty to fly the handle OF
the bellows. While one individual holds
the sheep, opens tho wool in different
.nlaces and close it around the noses OF
the bellows, the smoke drawn into the
bellows by the force given it quickly
finds its way to every part Of the surface
of the animal, and Immediately and ef'
fectually destroys every tick coming in
contact with it. l have practiced this
method in preference to any that have
seen published. not only on account Of
the facility Of the preparation and opera
tion. but of the comfort Of the animals
Ifvou should deem this article sufficient
ly explicit, or worthy Of place in the
columns Of your valuable paper it is at
your service. Yours, &c.
