How to kill Lice ON Cattle.

Nh. EDlroR When asked the
question what the medicine was, to
be put into the quill for killing Lice
on cattle, did not think that
should hlt any of you, bat os did,
| will say as the man SAID when he
talked To the Governor not know ing
with whom he was talking. When
he found who he was, well, said he,
# had known that you were the
Governor should not have talked
so. However, don't now see how
| can take it back.
For the benefit of your readers I
will give my way Of killing lice on
cattle. | have pracuced It for sew
eral years, and never have known
1t to fail when the operation Is
thoroughly performed take com
mon soft soap aud sour buItermlk,
mix il half aud half, stir them
thoroughly together, wash the cattle
on all parts where the lice are likely
to be. DO the work thoroughly,
and you will get rid Of them In
three or -four days the ni's will
hatch out, then wash your cattle
agalu, and you viii get rid of the
whole of them. hope that some OF
your readers will try tins mode, and
let me know the result through the
