say, most of them would cheerfully assist in
ventilating any useful question OF Animal Eco
nomy, if invited.
Sometimes sheep which die of the rot, are
placed wrongfully to the account of worms in
the head The most common symptom of the
presence of such worms, is the raising and
Crooking of the head and neck 1; eyes glariDg,
aud twitching of the eye-lid and ear on the
same side running off suddenly in circnlar
direction, with occasional spaSms, and slight
frothing at the mouth.
AS Remedy, BLACKLoCK, the celebrated
sheep-culturist, advises the employment of to.
baccO. Take common clay pipe, and push
the stem well up into the nostril of the sheep,
having first half filled the bowl with common
smoking tobacco Light it, and then cover
the top of the bowl with thin cloth and blow
the smoke into the sleeps head. A violent
sneezing follows, in course of which, the worms
are often elected in large numbers. Scotch
snuff, administered in the same way, is said to
produce the same beneficial result
AS a PreUenilUe tarring the noses of sheep
at shearing time, or a little afterwards, about
the time the fly makes its appearance-is the
most rational of any thi have found in the
books. A plowed field, or few burrows run
ming through the sheep,pasture are eagerly
sought by the sheep in fly time. They then
rub their noses in the earth, and thus, it is
thought, expel the intruder from bis lodgment.
The approach of the fly is easily known by the
sudden budding of the flock, with their noses
inward and hidden
| remember that my father, who was an ex-
celent practical farmer, always tarred the nos
es of his sheep at, or soon after shearing time,
" to prevent taking cold, and also to keep off
The fy," as be said, but what fig be meant, L
had no idea at the time, nor indeed, up to the
day l turned to the books, from which draw
these hasty notes for your columns. He also
constantly kept Tar within reach of the sheep
at the bottom of small board trOughS scattering
salt over it, and thus forcing the animals to
axe up portion of it with the salt. | dare
say this was done with profit, as few finer and
healthier focks we're found, than those which
roamed bis hill sides shall tar all my sheep
this Spring, for it is plain an enemy is at
their gate" G. l.. w.

BY MRS. L. H. sIGoURNET.
Daily national Republican. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1862-1866, 1862-12-06
WEST VIRGINIA.

The bill for the admission OF West Virginia
as one Of the States of the Union comes up in
the lower House on Tuesday next. We take
an interest in the passage of the bill, which has
passed the Senate by strong vote, because 1t
viii give 10000 square miles of territory TO
freedom, and give half million of true, hon
est, live men, who are now martyrs 10 thec cause
Of the Union, freedom for which they have
been ererting themselves for the last thirty
years.
We fear that some members of Congress NAV
not have given the careful attention TO this mat
ter that It's importance deserves; but If they
will closely examine the constitution offered
for their acceptance, and the Senate bill, we
think they will not oppose measure at once
so clearly desirable, both for the Union and the
people who ask its passage. They are tied, as
II were, 10 carcass. They are alivei East
Virginia is dead, and they ask to be cut oil from
the carcass.
We hope Congress will not resist this cry for
freedom, for we are sure that If II is done the
last hope of freedom in West Virginia will be
lost.
