Friendly Hint.

The small cigar cutters generally
seen in tobacco stores seem to exercise
a strange fascination over some people.
1t seems that few people can stand near
one of these machines without playing
with it, and sometimes there is finger
cut. A dealer has a clever scheme by
which to obviate this danger. A small
sign upon the cutter reads: For
Cigars. Not Fingers" Detroit Free

If it ever comes to pass tnat you

They had little case up before the
squire last Saturday, which accordin to
Pony Burkit, the bailiff, was "sot for
ten o'clock"
From the general circumference Of
the surroundings and the evitienee in
the case, 1t turns out that julie Majors
| had shot and killed spotted hound
log, which the said dog belonged to a
man by the name of Handy Stribblin
| 1t would likewise also seem that in con
sidertion thereof, the said Handy Strib-

Preventive For the Horn FIy.

QUESTION lis there any sure prevent
i've for the Horn fly. Ii so, please give
it through your inquiry columns?
ANSWER. The eggs of the Horn fly
are deposited in freshly dropped cow
dung in which the larvae develop.
During hot weather the change from
egg to fly may be completed in two
weeks. They may be kept off of cattle
by the application of fish oil, to which a
little carbolic acid is added. The ap-
plication should be very light and re-
peated every four or five days. This
keeps off the flies, but does not kill
them They may be killed by the use
OF tobacco powder, busted on the cattle
along the back, neck and tall and at the
base of the horns. A good authority
recommends the fish oil for the belly,
udder and other parts Of the body where
the tobacco cannot well be applied, and
the powder for the other parts of the
animal. The larvae can be destroyed
by scattering the droppings Of the COW
each morningsso that they will quickly
dry up, preventing the. development of
the eggs. The same end may be at
tanned by mixing plaster with the man.

Salt to Destroy Parasites In stocl-Grubs
In Sheep.

Question: notice that my sheep
and cattle. the young lambs and calves
particularly, are every year. after being
turned on the pastures, affected with
some disease, which often causes thelA
to droOp and in some cases die. l can
assign no certain cause for this trouble,
the pastures are abundant, and there is
stream Of pure running water in easy
access. Can you suggest any cause for
this Is there any certain cure for grub
in the head # sheep?
ANSWERING should Judge from
your description that your cattle need
salt Every pasture, no matter how
well MANFRED, or how fourishing, is
more or less infested with the germs of
parasitical diseases. The eggs or larvae
of the parasites are deposited on the
young tender grass, and are taken into
the stomachs of the animals while feed
ing. Salt is about the only practical
means which we can use to prevent in
Jury from their attacks. Sailing once
or twice week will not be sufficient.
Salt is as much a necessity to animals
RS to man, and should be placed where
they can have daily access to it. A lit
tie copperas mixed in the salt about
twice month in the proportion of one
part to ten of salt. has been found ben.
efcial. An occasional dose of sulphur
is also good.
For the grub. prevention is the only
sure and paying remedy. If the cattle
are provided with place where they
will be protected from the sun during
the hot months, they will escape in
great measure the attacks Of the flies.
Thick woods or dark shed will fur.
nish this protection, and sheep thus
sheltered will have almost entire immu.
nifty from grubs in the head. 1t is we'll,
however, to watch them, both old and
young, and once or twice month syr.
inge out their nostrils with turpentine
and linseed oil, equal parts. An ex
perienced sheep man says the best way
to do this is to insert the syringe three
or four inches up the nostril. give a
quick syringe and let go the head at
once. In short time treat the other
nostril the same way. Tarring the nos
trils has also been used with encourag-
ing success. 1t is better to spend some
effort i'll the use Of these preventives,
than to waste our time and strength in
endeavoring TO remove the grubs after
they have obtained firm foothold. -

An Inquiry About Lice

QUESTION. - Our cotton plants are
covered with lice. Some spots have
turned red and the leaves crisp I'D. Can
you suggest remedy?
ANSWER. 1t is not often that any
poisonous remedies are used against
cotton lice, which in some seasons do a
great deal OF damage to the stand of
cotton. They flourish most during the
cool nights Of spring A remedy highly
recommended. and doubtless better than
the urseuites. is tobacco Make a decoc-
ton by boiling refuse tobacco stems or
dust i'll water; or by pouring boiling
water over them. Reduce the strength
Of this decoction By the addition of cold
water until here are gallons of water
to every pou Il of tobacco used. Sprinkle
on the plants effected
The kerosene emulsion can also be
used successfully against all the Aphides
or plant lice family. OF course care
must be taken that the emulsion is very
thoroughly mixed, as free kerosene is
very likely to kill the leaves it gets on.
Rapid cultivation frequently does good,
either by knocking off and covering up
many of the lice, or by inducing such q
vigorous growth as to hide or quickly
repair their ravages. The cool nights
of May generally bring these lice, and
as rule they disappear before the hot
sunshine ana warm nights of June
