mcnis not fully made, and OF undertaking To
instruct Others before we hall understand what
we write about ourselves; had concluded TO

To the remedy we have been irving for
grubs, or worms, in the heads OF sheen. The
Use OF tobacco mater is no discovery of
ours, aud all we hope 10 do in addition to
what has been before said and written. Avill
he to give some facts in reference to the de-
slrucuvc insect in question, its habits. aud
the best time aud mode OF administering the
remedy. The fy is not very correctly de
scubcd in the CuttivatOr. Ii is OF lipht dmb
color, when seen towering about flOcks, and
deposits a crdsiing mdggot at the nose of the
sheep. We have often taken hundreds of
them, alive and active, from a single Nv.
sometimes after the ny was dead; and in
catching the lics in our hands, we first dis
cover that they were literally filed with the
moving worms, ready TO pass directly into the
head, the moment they weIe lodged at the
nose. One OF my sous had them twice de
posted at his WI nose. while at work a.
mong the sheep, last fall. The act at depos-
ting Is done almost as quick a. lightning.
