We oondense the following from an
article in the People and Patriot:
During the hot Gays of midsummer,
sheep often huddle together with their
noses upon the ground, or in some
Other constrained position. This il
done, partly at least, to secure them
from the attacks Of the oeSt6Ting Cad !.

grubs ascend the nostrils, greatly to

openings, by which they entered when
Fret Matched. and again they cause
the sheep much pain, Tho gTubi fall
to the ground, and burroWl0g for q
few inches, become ohrysalida, which
develope into the perfect Aies in about
two months. The grubu pass iYem
the sheep in eally summer. and the
flies come out Of the ground from July
to September a dzub OF tar upon
the nose is the beat preventive. and
should be frequently applied during
the summer months. This may be ,
done by sprinkling some meal or salt

we have to look elsewhere |
for food. In our Territory The
ground is now becoming dry for !

the COWS will consequently begin to

weather. You cannot afford the
loss of sarinkage in the quantity of
milk, ard the loss is generally not
until it Is too late to
prevent it. The time to begin is
before the COWS begin to shrink, and
not afterwards. Cows should not ,
be required to walk about all day In ,
search OF food; If they do, your
pocke5 will pay for it, Be careful
to avoid sudden changes Of food

to this subject without delay.
Cheese is a very desirable article Of
food; but ito nutritious qualities are
not generally appreciated. One
pound OF cheese 10 equal to three
pounds of mutton; but the objection
is that, cheese is difficult to digest;
and eating il raw, in Jumps, with
bread, is a barbarous practice. II
should always be cooked being pre-
vioualy dissolved, and can then be
used with almost any other kind of
food. An eminent English professor

ounce to each pound of cheese. put
with little milk, and warmed in al
