FARM NOTES.
To Rid Cattle Of Lice.
American Cultivator.

NJ. G.. X. st. county, New
York: The question which this cor
respondent asked is one that before
next spring will interest hundreds
of young farmers who own cattle and
colts. 1t will astonish the Northern
stock-growers to see the actual an
nual loss caused by vermin present
ed in figures, to say nothing of the
torture which the poor animals are
compelled 10 endure. 1t has been
claimed by some that lice will never
trouble fat animals. This is mis-
taken idea, and probably arises rom
the fact that the thrifty farmer, no.
ted for having fat stock, always
keeps his herd free from these an
moving pests. There are several
remedies, which, if applied faithfully
and followed up, will tree every ami
NAL treated from these annoying and
expensive parasites. Washing the
animals thoroughly from nose to tail
in astrong decoction ofquastia chips
has proved effective in the worst of
cases. 1t may be necessary TO re-
peat the washing once or twice, in
order to kill new crop which is like
w to be hatched from the nits. In
using this remedy it is important
that the animals treated should have
warm quarters, otherwise they are
liable to become so thoroughly chill
ed before they are dry as to be made
dangerously sick. We have known
cases of pneumonia brought on by
washing cows in the country where
there were no conveniences for shell
tering them in a warm room until
dry. Tobacco smoke is the safest
and surest remedy that can be EN-
ployed in cold weather, and an in
strument for administering it should
be in the hands Of every Northern
stock grower, or at least in every
neighborhood. The smoke can be
applied in the coolest winter wealth
err, without the slightest danger of
injury to the animals, Common in
sect powder is recommended highly
by some. 1t is c safe remedy and
easily applied, but not so effective as
tobacco smoke.
