hideous looking and apparently savage

1t chaws up ravenously everything with

BoTs IN HoRsEs-A CERTAIN REM
EDY.-IR the past Is or 20 years have
cured great many horsss. in fact, for
sometime have kept about IS in my stable
at once, and during the time | have never
lost one with bots in him. l have pur-
sued the following course whenever Gus
pected shSir existence:
Fill an ordinary junk bottle half full OF
molasses then Gil with sweet milk
shake we'll aud drench follow the above
in about an ho-r with q bottle Of strong
sage tea, made of our ordinary garden
sage next day give the horse bait OF
rough rice and the dead bots will come
out with the rico. My theory is that the
Ailk and nolasses being sweeter than
blood, the bots turn loose to eat it. The
sage tea will kill then, and it is the only
thing l evev heard of that will do it, with
out injury to the horse. The rice will
cut out tho dead bcas better than salts
10 fact, if you will give horses feed OF
rough rice ev7ry two weeks, do not
think there is the least danger from bass
at least, such is my experience.
As q proof Of what ! have written, get
two sage lsavea, dip them in hot water,
lay one down, put lively bot on it, then
cover him with the other and he will Gle
instantly. Sage tea l have also found
very beneficial in collie, and is perfectly
harmless, If it does no good.--Cor. Caro-.
