The sheep gad-fy appears during the
summer months. 1t is not unlike the
small horse fly in appearance, the color
being light ash, dotted and lined with
black. After mating, the female seeks to
deposit her young about the nose of the
sheep. The animals show their worry
from these insects by shaking their droop-
ing heads and stamping their feet and
often, in fact, by flight The bots are
said to pass up the nose by means of hooks
and spincs, causing an increased flow of
mucus, on which they feed. The mag.
gots when full grown are about an inch
in length. Youatt and Clark deny that
special harm is wrough by these bots,
but this denial does not correspond with
the observations of leading sheep men,
who, Prof. Cook declares, are correct in
the opinion that the bots do serious in
jury to the animal, and when very nu-
merous, especially if they pass to the
brain, may, and frequently do, cause
death. When suffering from this cause
the sheep lose their appetite, seem in
clned to butt, and these symptoms are
followed by stupor and great weakness.
The mouth and nasal membranes be-
come inhamed and there is an unusual
discharge from the nose. To render the
animals exempt from the attack, sheep
men have practised, with good effect,
tarring their noses. The operation is
simplitied by boring two inch holes into
logs, into which salt is placed and the
edges then smcarcd with tar. In reach
ing for the salt the sheep receives the APP
plication. - Cultirator.

The Hamburg Geological garden has
received II full-grown specimen of the
CAMS pictus, or spotted wild dog, of

hound and half dozen other animals.
He has size and general form of deer
hound, the tail of fox, the black snout
of hyena, and the spots and stripes of
a leopard. His voice is sort of
coughing howl, and he PAGES his cage
all day long with the rcstlcssness Of o

Useful Hints on CHI e-NraIsing.
In an essay on chccse-ulalling, delivered
by J. B. Harris, Antwerp, II. Y, before
the Ontario Dairymen's Association, a
number of useful hints were given that
can hardly fail to prove of assistance to
many readers. Some arc here presented
in brief.
For summer and fall cheese, Mr.. Iar-
ris uses rcnnet enough to produce coagu-
lation in fifty minutes, with the milk at a
temperature of from So to SO degrees. In
the spring, when making fodder cheese,
he uses one-third more rennct and less
salt. His reasons for this difference is to
facilitate the ripening process, in order
that the cheese may be ready for market
at the earliest day possible. Four ounces
of rennet for summer and six ounces for
spring, with salt in proportion, is Mr..
Harris's own rule.
Two messcs of milk produced on diff
fercnt soils, although treated the same,
will produce cheese more or less variable
as regards moisture. The maker of the
cheese must regulate the matter by vari-.
ations in cutting, scalding and stirring.
For instance, when it is known that
moisture prcdominatcs in the milk of any
given dairy it is advised to cut finer, Scald
more and stir longer.
Stirring ought to begin directly after
cutting and continue from ten to fifteen
minutes before heating and 90 on for
half an hour continuously, and say ten
more after the heat is Withdrawn.
1t is advised to heat slowly at first,
gradually increasing rs the whey scpa-
rates. The heat must be kept up until
the curd is maturcd and then well aired
before sailing. The usual temperature
in summer is 0S degrees, bus as the
season advances and the milk becomes
richer it is necessary to go as high as 100
degrees. A great secret in cheese max
ing is to draw the whey at the first indi-
cation of acidty.
After the whey is removed and while
the subsequent stirring procc eds, a new
acid makes its appearance in the body of
the curd, which seems to depend for its
development upon the action of the air,
and the presence OF which experience
has shown to be an essential element in
the makeup of cheese. This acid should
be allowed to develop properly before
the addition of salt, as the presence of
that substance will preclude its appear.
ancc.
Curd should contain about 3J per
cent. moisture when pressed, and dry
out down TO SO per cent. when cured.
10 determine and retain this proper
proportion OF moisture requires judS'
mcnt and practice.

be undertaken unless you are sure the
depth of soil will fully warrant the depth
of blowing, for the turning up OF tho
under soil often produces infcrtility for
years, especially in stiff clays, unless
large amounts of manure are used. 1t Is
far better to get depth of filth by means
of the true subsoil pillow, which, running
in the bottom of furrow, loosens, raises,
and pulverizcs the subsoil, but leaves 1t :
in the same position it originally had.
Thus the soil may be pulvcrized to any
depth the strength of the team will allow.
But neither this nor trcnch-p lowingls

thoroughly watcr-soakcd, since soil
saturated with water forany considerable c
length of time inevitable runs togei;he r,
thus destroying its pcrmcability.

Young Colts.


When the young colts arrive some
pains should be taken to rear them in
the best manner. There is considerable
mortality among young colts which may
be avoided. This mostly occurs among
farmers whose mares are at work in the
field. The rearing of colts upon farms
is just now very profitable business,
and is to be encouraged by good advice
and wise management. The best way is
to have the colts run with the mares and
to give the mares an occasional rest for
the colts to suck. When the colts are
shut up and turned to the mare at noon
and night only the milk is heated by
the hard work of the mare, and the I'D
der is distendcd, often painfully and
both mare and colt suffer. The milk is
also less in quantity, for when colt
sucks six or eight times in day the sup
ply of milk will easily be double the
quantity given when the colt is turned
to the mare only twice n day. Besides,
when the colt accompanies the mare it
becomes used to its surroundings in the
field and on the road, and takes its first
lessons for its future training. -Ncto

FOR THE FARM AND HOME,
Bleaching Celery.

It takes but from eight to ten days to
blanch celery in warm weather, and
about four or five weeks in cold weather.
Anew plan of blanching in warm weather
is now adopted by some of our best
growers, and found to work admirably,
ms it saves much labor and there is less
danger of rust and rot. They half hill,
as it is termed, with hoe or with n
small one horse plow, if a horse can be
used, throwing up small ridge of the
soil on each side of the row, just up to
the plants, but not against them much;
then take inch boards ten inches wide,
lay along on each side of the row,
crowding the lower edge close up to the
bottom of the plants, then take hold of
the outer edges of the boards and bring
them up together, placing over them
clamps made of No. 0 wirc--so made that
tho boards will be about two inches
apart, or little more, if the celery is
large. For the late crop the soils found
the best for blanchlng. In this it IS
necessary to use judgment about killing
up. 1t will not do to commence it while
the weather is too hot and wet as there
is danger of its rotting. 1t should never
be banked while the stocks are at all wet.
