Grubs in sheep.

An authority on sheep says that
grubs in sheep are as natural as hair
OH the tail of a horse, and the best
way to care for them is to let them
alone Sheep raisers whose animals
have been troubled with grubs in the
head viii not agree with this method,
perhaps, but there is no doubt but
what there1s too much unskllled treat
ment Of sl-eep for this pest, and much
of the treatment is cruel in the ex-
treme. There Is no doubt but what
good care and proper feed makes the
sheep strong enough to resist the at
tacks of grubs, and unless the case is
very bad little attention should be
paid to grubs.
There is no way of getting the pest
out of the flock entirely. If one has
a bad case in the flock and the ami
NAL is valuable it will pay to put it
in the hands Of skilled veterinarian
for treatment Do not use the often
advised method of running wires up

The wet season, IN many sections of
the country, is responsible for the
trouble In calves, known as lung
worms The worm Is small and
thread-like and gets into the windpipe
Of the calf, The trouble is thought to
be due largely to the calves drinking
from ponds, which contain the eggs Of
the worms and also from pasturing on
wet grounds. There is. at present, no
remedy which may be relied upon, so
that the best plan is to prevent the
trouble, If possible. and this can best
be done by keeping the calves in a
warm, dry barn and seeing that the
water they drink is from a well and
as pure as possible. They should not
be allowed to pasture until the grass
Is dry, nor should wet grass be fed to
them. The plan OF injecting oil of
turpentine into the windpipe is not
very satisfactory, but it is the best
thing known, and in some cases has
proved satisfactory. indianapolis

Cheese Making ON the Fnrm.

Dairying is considered to-day one of
the most prosperous and highly devel-
oped forms of farming, and no branch
Of agriculture has made greater prog
ress during the last generation. In
1860 the price of cheese was 10 cents
a pound, and farmers were afraid to
engage in such an industry, believing
pverproduction would result. In 1880
cheese exports were 100000 pounds.
Present cheese exports are not large
owing to the foreign market having
been ruined through the shipment Of
'.hIled" cheese by unscrupulous export
ers: but the annual production and
consumption of cheese, as are likewise
those of butter and milk, are constant
ly increasing. Tennessee Farmer.

Home Made Husking Table.


1t is not an easy task to handle
shock of corn and get it into a posi-
ton where the corn may be husked
readily and with the least expense of
labor. The illustration shows a table
which may be readily made of cheap
lumber, and which will materially
tighten the labor of corn husking. The
table may be made of material an inch
thick and three inches wide.
The top of the table is ten feet long
and three feet wide. End pieces are
arranged so that they may be used for
handles, and the legs, which are two
feet and three inches long, are bolted
to the side pieces so they will swing

they do not produce young fruiting

to plow up the old one as soon as the

SALVATION ARMY CAVALRY.
Unique Method of Reaching the Mount

Unique Method of Reaching the Mount.

Unique in the history of religious war
fare is the soul-saving campaign which
the Salvation army has inaugurated in

ed with no other weapons than song and
prayer and religious zeal, these pioneers
of the church militant. have confidently
gone into the feud-ridden districts, where
a mans lie is held cheaper than that of

This daring scheme of the evangeliza-
ton originated with Col. Richard e.
Holz of Cleveland, and provincial officer
in charge of the army work in Ohio and
Kentucky. He conceived it to be the
duty OF the army to send special expe-
dition to the wild mountaineers. Imbued
with the spirit of the army organization,
which aims to reach the needy, neglect
ed and Indifferent through unusual chan
nels, Col. Holz formed a picked brigade
of six members, and himself has gone as
their leader.
Selected primarily as able speakers,
the members of the brigade have also
been chosen with a view to their physical
endurance, because they will ride many
miles a day, hold meetings every night
and rough it generally. They are provid-
ed with full camping-out equipment and
all the accessories of the soldier, minus
weapons.
This tour of the Salvation cavalry is
planned to last only for a few weeks
and is in reality only a preliminary
skirmish, covering seven counties. When
the brigade has introduced Salvation
work along this route, it is proposed to
establish permanent posts at all the
points touched upon.
Col. Holz is said to be delighted with
the way his party has been received by
the feudists at Jackson, and is now push
