Sheen Grubs III the Head.

1t is said that the grub may be easily re.
moved by exposing the sheep to the sun
during the day and removing them to COW
er them at night. The grub likes the light
and heat OF the sun, and for the sake Of
these is induced to leave IT'S secret place up
IN the sleeps head, and crawl down so
low in the nos,r,ls that it can be blown out
or pulled from them by the shepherd.
Blowing tobacco or other slckening or dis.
agreeable smoke up the nostrilS, seems TO
have little or no effect in dlsIodglng the
grub so irritating and often injurious
The best way is prevention, and to guard
against the CAD fly (Estrus ovis) depositing
its eggs IN the nostrils of the sheep, when
the eggs batch, the grub crawla up into
the head 1t the nostrils be kept well
smeared with tar during July and August,
the fly is prevented from deposi,ing It's
eggs. Instead OF doing this smearing by
hand, much easier and more expeditions
method is to put fine salt in a trough, and
cover this with tar. As the sheep come up
to lick the salt, they get their noses well
smeared. A good thing also is to turn up
n furrow IN the pasture for the sheep to
thrust their noses in the loose ground
This also assists in keeping off the fly

What a "Whoopsr.Up" Is,

A New York letter says: A man who
has for many years been notorious in
the metropolis rs n keeper of low down
ty show of a sort which restores to the
Bowcry an institution which, Isupposed,
had moved ultimately westward, with
the retreating line between civilization
and savagery. There is nothing novel
about the performance, which consists
of the poorest and coarsest singing and
dancing; nor about the drinking, which
is done at n hundred tables scattered
through the auditorium; nor about the
assemblage, which is of the most bra
zenly depraved that can be imagined.
A decidedly unique feature. however, is
the presence OF the proprietor. He sits
on n small platform, in Il high chair,
not palpably ashamed of his position,
and in 4 loud voice directs the enter
tainment. He is 4 big. fat man. with y
hairless head, and possibly regards him
self as an interesting exhibit. The place
was crowded at the time of my visit,
and | took seat in a corner from
which l could look quietly. Close by
sat three young women. n little better
dressed than the rest of their sex among
the throng, and more nearly sober. A
man joined them. His conversation
quickly disclosed that he was the amusc-
ment director of the house. He en-
gagged one of the women rs Il dancer
for the ensuing week, and another rs a
singer.
Here is Addic left" and the singer
turned to the third woman of the party;
cant You give her date?'
Sorry and the man emphasized
his regret with n violent oath, "but we
haven't anything for her to do on the
stage. We can give her Il week rs a
whooper-up.
| was delighted when the woman
asked him what was Il whooper-rD be-
cause | was very curious to find our.
That's one, and he pointed out u
girl whom the confines of red Jersey
waist seemed to unduly restrict, so great
and demonstrative was her eXubcrance.
She drank constantly, she 9iggled con-
vulsively ut all the witticsms uttered
within hearing; she laughed loud and
long at the stage fun. and she Joined
with shrill hilarity in the choruses of
the songs. Altogether she seemed the
maddest, mcrriest creature in the gath
ering.
She's Il whooper-up," the man ex-
planned. Its her business to keep the
jollity going. She leaves us Saturday
night. Addie can have her place"
Addie accepted the offer. She said it
would be fun anyhow.
