asked some time ago, if it Injuries bread TO
prepare it in a tin basin, is Informed that we

Plotting Slips The plants should have
been slipped all through the summer and be
growing nicely. by this time. In potting
plants, press the soil firmly, so that the plant
shall set well in it. Do not give too large q
pot; the plant will bloom better if it is in
ono of the proper size. Window plants need
rich soil, and powdered charcoal in the soil
will give rich, dark, green leaves and bril-
liant coloring 10 the flowers. Pot your
plants now, and bring them in the house
about two weeks before the fire is lighted, |
Use liquid manure, very weak, once week.
Stirring the top soil is very good, especially
for roses.

Reader of The Sun. Your sheep have in |
fuenza, probably caused by exposure during
the drive from San Saba county, Texas, to |
your present home If any are very bad, try
giving one-half ounce of EPSON salts, and |
one drachm of ginger in a pint of warm
water. You should also give some rich and
nourishing food, corn meal or linseed oil cake,
if it can be obtained. Mix quart of salt
with four ounces of sulphur, or in this pro-
portion enough for your entire flock, and put
it where the sheep can have access TO the
mixture daily. This will sometimes prevent
the well animals from becoming sick. IN
severe cases you may give the sick animal
ten drops of aconite and one ounce of q solu-
ton Of acetate of ammonia every six hours,
decreasing the dose down to ouly few drops
as it gives relief. The sheep should be
housed in wet weather and kept warm and
dry.
