ANSWER.

Take one part of coal tar (if this
can not be had pine tar can be used,
but double the quantity) to seven
parts of lard, lard oil, meats foot oil,
hog's-foot oil. or cotton seed oil, ETC.,
Mix thoroughly and apply about two
tabIespoonfuIs to the 1000 pounds
horse, mule, etc. Use a small brush
or rag and rub all the parts where
the flies bite worst, such as the head,
breast, legs and belly. But little is
needed on the back of mules and
horses, but with cattle it should be
used freely. as the flies bite the backs
of cattle most.
Any kind of fish oil, like whale,
sturgeon, can be used. 1t should be
diluted with three parts of lard or
oils mentioned above, the same as
the tar oils. If too much of the fish
oils are used it may make the horse
sick. You can tell by the manner in
which the horse acts. Of course, he
will not be as lively as he is when a
swarm of flies are after him.
When using it on the horse do not
apply it to his head first, but begin
with his hind legs. Sometimes a
horse will become frightened at the
scent of the fish oil. 1t would be
better to unhitch him until you are
sure as to his behavior. Some will
be glad for you to apply it as soon
as they learn that the flies will cease
to torment them.
A nice way is to take a woolen rag
and tie it to the end of stick, max
ing a small mop. Then wet it good
with the liniment and you can rub
the horse over in a few minutes with
out getting it on your hands. You
should be careful not to get any un-
der the collar or backband as the
nles do not bother those places.
There is one little fly known here
as the dog fly that cares but little
Tor any kind of fly preventive. We
nave used some carbolic acid in the

Monument to Rev. Jaokson

O0OASV"s
Rev. G. Peterson left last Monday
for Rush Point, MIMI, to be present at
9 mission meeting in his former parish
and also assist in the unwilling of a
monument to Rev. Andrew Jackson.
The funds for the monument have been
partly furnished by the Rush Point
congregation and partly by contrib
utions gathered in The Minnesota con-
ference by committee composed of
Revs. G.. Peterson and J. S. Rydipg.
Rev. Andrew jackson was one of
the pioneers of the Swedish Lutheran
church in this state, and the first of
workers in this county. The records
shows that he assisted in organizing
four congregations in this county be-
fore the Indian outbreak, namely,
Norway Lake, Lake Prairie (Colfax J,
New Sweden Eagle Lake, and Nest
Cake. These records give the names
of 200 people who were here before the
outbreak. After the arduous labors
of the frontier had occupied him for
some years he was called to West
Union, Carver county, where he served
for about twenty years. His last
