trenches wide and deep enough to re.
ceive them, and have the heads little

Lice mostly attack animals in poor
condition, and one way to avoid at
tacks by these pests is to keep the
stock in good order by good feeding
and shelter. The vermin may be got
rid of by making a solution of carbolic
soap in alcohol and rubbing it on the
skin. Raw linseed oil mixed with one
fourth its quantity of kerosene and a
few drops of creosote to give it a
smoky odor is a good application nnd
will quickly rid the calves of lice or
feas. Mcrcurial ointment should not
be used for this purpose upon any
animal, as it is poisonous If licked and
is absorbed through the skin with the
same effect. philadelphia Press.
