FLOWING DEEP OR SHALLOW.
Much Depends on the Kind Of Crop to
Be Grown.

Pillow deep in the fall and shallow ~

professor OF agriculture. We would
amend this by suggesting that the
crop you expect to raise on the land
has something TO do with II. as does
also the length OF time 20 elapse be-
fore the crop Is sown or planted.
Flowing deep for wheat Is all right II
the blowing Is done in time so the soil

plows deep one week and drills In his
wheat the next Is counting failure.
For English bluegrass. timothy or
any such crop. II is a detrlment to
plow very deep. We have found this
out through sad and costly experience.
Deep blowing furnishes too loose
seed bed for any OF this stuff. and It is
hundred times more apt to dry out
or freeze out before the winter is over.
Like a good many rules. the one re-
ferring TO deep blowing IN the fall
should be practiced only after a full
and careful consideration OF the field
to be plowed and the crop TO be sown.

Douglas Budget. All were found to be
diseased; and portions of the viscera
were taken out II sent to the state
university for examination and analy.
sis in the hope of discovering some
remedy. Death is due to the larvae
of a peculiar kind of fly, which lays
its eggs in the nasal canals and cavi.
ties of sheep. The eggs are laid during
July, August and September and do
not mature for ten months. The larvae,
emerging from the eggs, drop from the
nostrils of the sheep during the spring
following the laying of the eggs and
thereafter develop into flies. The pres
ence of the eggs and larvae in the ma,
sal cavities produces Inflammation and
a nervous trouble which affects the
brain and causes death. There is at
present no known remedy for the eff
fects of or preventative against l.
larvae.
