How to Keep or Horn Flies.

Application to the animals OF sub
stances to keep flies off is the best
treatment for horn fly. OF the many
substances used for this purpose two
parts of crude cottonseed oil mixed
with one part of pine tar, we consider
the best, cheapest and the most easily
applied. 1t should be applied to the
animals at milking time with a large
paint brush, the cost being but three
fourths of cent per COW. If the crude
cottonseed oil cannot be readily OBJ
tanned. fish oil or any other cheap oil
m w be used in its stead.

Crops IN Young Orchards

A young orchard may be cultivated
for one or two years, or until it has
made too much growth and acquired
large roots. Potatoes or cabbages are
excellent, as they require clean cult
walton. and the manure used in the
rows will also benefit the trees. If the
growth of the trees is too rapid, how
ever, the orchard may be used for grass
for one or two years and then Guilt
waited again. Pear trees that grow too
rapidly are more liable to blight than
those that are of slower growth.

Willard Bartlett in the Court OF oyer

railing before him, and tears rolled down
his cheeks
