Sheep Grub in Summer.

IN midsummer the sheep grub causes
much suffering TO sheep. The animals
huddle together, with their noses to the
ground for protection against the CAD
ny, the parent of the grub. The fly aims
TO deposit her eggs in the nostrils of
the sheep. If she SUI eeeds in SO doing
the eggs soon hatch, the worms attach
ing themselves to the sinuses of the
nose by means vf hooks, and live upon
mucus secretiOns of the lrritated sur
faces to which they cling. When fully
grown they work their way down
through the narrow openings by which
they entered and cause pain to the ami
mails. The grubs fall to the ground,
where they burrow, become chrysal-
ides. and develop into gadfiies in about
two months. The difficulty of handling
sheep is an obstacle, but the usual pre-
Neruve Is TO daub wood tar on the
noses OF the sheep. Plow a furTOw in
the pasture, and repeat by lOOsening it
after every rain, as the sheep will keep
their noses in the soft earth as a pro-
lection. A teaspoonful of coal tar and
twenty drops Of carbolic acid, we'll
mixed with pint of wood tar Ito give
the odor, will be an improvement on
the remedy.

Denth of Cultivation.

Whether cultivation should be deer
or shallow is matter that has been
discussed for many years. 1t is claim
ed that deep cultivation destroys the
surface roots of plants, and if the top
soil is lOosened and the weeds destroy
ed it is sufficient. The advocates of deep
cultivation believe that if the ground is
lOosened to the depth of inches it in
creases the porosity of the soil and al
lows the air and water to penetrate
more freely 1t is probably well, how
ever, TO stir the ground to a greater
depth before rain and shallow after
a rain.

Horseradish Profitable.

Horseradish is a profitable crop, and
can be grown on almost any soil. Plant
the little roots, and they will be large
enough for market in one season. Plant
the root small end down, so that the
top will be two inches under the soil.
Horseradish when matured may re-
main in the ground until spring, or may
be stored in pits in the fall. 1t con-
stantly increases in the ground, but
when grown for market never becomes
troublesome by spreading, 1t requires
liberal manuring, and a large supply
can be grown on a small plot.

The fruit stalks of Towering plant
should be cut as soon as the flowers
full. 1t is an exhaustive process to the
plants TO bear fruit or seeds Some
plants that flower the first year, sucl
as Chinese pinks, snap-dragons, etc,
can be made to flower the second year
II not allowed TO go beyond the flower
ing stage. The pansy, which is famil-
lar TO all, will continue to produce how-
ers provided the flowers are cut as
often as they appear. If allowed to
produce Sc . the plant ceases to pro-
duce flowers. The plant has accom-
plished its work when it has produced
seed.

A New Garden Insect.

A new injurious garden insect is de-
scribed by the Agricultural Depart
ment as lima-bean borer. The grub
enters the stalk Of the lima bean, form
ing gall of an inch or more in length,
and causing considerable damage in
some sections. The remedy suggested
where this pest proves troublesome is,
after the crop is gathered, to harrow
the ground, thus exposing the larvae
to the elements, and then blowing
deeply in the spring, which treatment
has been found very effective against
the squash-vine borcr. The treatment,
however. IS more preventive than rene
dial. but in small patches or & rden
lows of limas the insect can be kept in
check by trimming the terminal vines
where infected. and the larvae in the
lower portions of the stems can be re-
moved by cutting longitudnally, with
out serious injury to the stem itself
The presence of the borer is indicated
;,v an emulation of cNcrement.
