Ticks Oh Sheep.

We have inquiry how to get rid of
ticks on sheep and lambs. Also, what is
the best sheep dip? When is the best
time to applyit? Our practice is to give
one part of sulphur to ten parts of salt
twice week, which tends to health, and
thicks are few. After shearing the ticks
leave the sheep and take to the lambs
In a week on ten days after shearing, the
lambs should be dipped. A strong de-
coction of tobacco is effective and cheap,
if the stems from tobacco houses can be
had; any cheap tobacco will do. A mix
ture of whale oil soap and arsenic is
alike good We have no recipe for mix
ing, but go by our Judgment, as did
Widow Bedott in making bread. We
believe, however, the best sheep dip con-
tains carbolic acid. 1t is the best in
secticide known, and is cheap. We
shall add it to tobacco and whale Gil soap
mixture this season. If one can buy the
carbolic sheep dip advertised, it is, per.
haps, most convenient and effective.
The lambs should be dipped twice,
about two or three weeks intervening,
once this month and again the first part
of June. st. Louis Post-Dispatch.

/ agatioa. White daisies, iron-weed md
other pests which spread from both root
and seed ought to be dug out of the
/ ground previous to the maturity of their
/ blossoms in order to destroy the seed
crop for that year as well as the germ
/ which produces the stem and blossom
! the next. This is accomplished with
I greatest ease directly after rain when the
I ground is soft When enemies of this
character have multiplied themselves to
/ such an extent as to render digging out
impracticable, the only remedy left is to
/ plough up the infested ground before
+ the seed natures.
/ Burdocks which spring up quickly
after having been mown above ground
will soon succomb, provided the cutting
is done a few inches below the surface.
Elders and briars that thrive persistently
III neglected places are in time destroy
ed by moving down, twice year, during
May and August Ploughing up the
land and narrowing out the roots is IN
effective mode, especially when the
ground Is afterward planted with some
such crop as corn.
Milkweed may be exterminated by
constant cuttings. Plantain will die
out if not permitted TO ripen its seed for
two years. That most troublesome of
plants, Canada thistle, can be conquered
by choking and smothering it with some
other crop which overtops it, and de-
prives its leaves of sufficient light and
air. Rye has been sown on thistle-in-
tested fields with good results, especially
when it was followed with clover and
timothy. The mowings the thistles re-
ceive when the grass is cut assist IN en-
feebling their growth. May and August
are the best months in which to NOV
weeds that die from loss of foliage
There is much to be said both for and
against summer fallow for the destruction
of weeds. A fallow certainly reduces the
pests, but SO long as stock feed on weeds
the land will again be seeded with them
when manure is applied. Therefore the
time never arrives when farm is free
from noxious growths of one kind or an
other, which call for more or less fight
ing against them. The warfare, as has
been intimated, must vary iii kind with
the nature and growth of the weed and
be unceasing. With constant culture,
generous fertilization and the employ
ment of clean seed, it is hardly possible
for any weed, however tenacious of life,
to gain possession of ones fields. -NeaU

The Household.

CoPPERAs mixed with whitewash put
upon the cellar walls will keep vermin
away.
To polish stained floors rub them
thoroughly once a week with beeswax
and turpentine.
STRONG brine may be used to advan-
tage in washing bedsteads; hot alum is
also good for this purpose.
New linen may be embroidered more
easily by rubbing it over with fine white
soap; it prevents the thread from crack
ing.
To remove grease from wallpaper lay
several folds of blotting paper on the
spot and hold hot IRON near it until the
grease is absorbed.
DRAIN pipes and all places that are
sour or impure may be cleansed with
lime water, copperas water or carbolic
acid.
CARPETS should be thoroughly beaten
on the wrong side first, and then on the
right, after which spots removed by the
use of ox-gall or ammonia and water.

will not absorb odors. You can easily
clean them with soda and water. Soap

Before paint or calcimine is applied to
walls every crack and crevice should be
filled with plaster or cement made of

water over night and heat gradually in
the morning until dissolved Nix eight
pounds of whiting with hot water, add

Training HeifcrS.

1t IS an easy matter to tram helfer
to stand quietly to be MIXED, but it is
easier to train them to jump, kick and

from running, and if her fears prompt
her to run, she can, and Will run. II

Rough on the Insurers,
TFrom the Pan Mall Gazette.


Like other passions, that of usurv is
strong in death; and dying Insurer is
known to have exclaimed when, III his
last moments cooling draught was pre-
scented to him III silver goblet, Il
couldn't lend you what you ask upon it
nothing like it, upon my word. :
There is one instance ON record, and only
one of an Insurer repenting during his
last illness, and, moved 10y the exhorta-
tons of his priestly confessor promising
to restore the immense sums of money
which he had miustly acquired. His
daughters, however, begged him to do
nothing of the kind. In vain the poor
man pleaded that in case of his not MAX
ing restitution eternal torments awaited
him. Never mind, papa, said the
young ladies; the first quarter of an
hour will be painful, no doubt; but YOU
have plenty of character, and after little
time will get used to it"

Why are white roses white?
For roses once were red,

Went when the night was fed,

WHY are the roses sweet?
For once they had no scent,
Because one day the Queen of Love,

That made the roses sweet.

KgEriSG POTATOES.

Various opinions prevail as to the best mode Of
keeping the potato. Some growers maintain that
the proper place for Il to be kept is in the ground
during winter the earth 10 the natural place for
H. and that Il can be kept there sound and perfect
in all Of its vitality, which seems to be rcasona-

when they are kept in cellars, those next the
ground are the frmest aud those top Of the pile
are more OF less wiltcd. The cellar IL the most
