PREVENT GAO-FLY ON SHEEP
Effective Method Is Smearing Nose
with Tar When Anlmai Reaches
In Hole for Salt.

An effective way of preventing an.
noyance and consequent loss of sheep
by the gad-iy Is to smear the nose
with a compound of grease and tar
This is applied with a brush. When
there are many sheep of course this
plan would not be feasible and dip
ping would probably repel the fly sc
long as the odor of the dip was
strong on the fleece. AS the odor
will not continue to be an effective
repellent throughout the season. and
as the fly is active until late In the
summer, a more effective treatment is
necessary. Some time ago one OF
u readers recommended the plan OF
boring holes into a log and placing
salt In these holes. which. Of course,
should be about the size Of a Sleeps
nose. The log is set up on blocks as
shown. A small tuft Of rag or rope
is tackled at the upper edge Of the
hole, and every time the sheep are
sailed tar is smeared on the tuft

SLING FOR INJURED COLTS
Can Be Made from Large cottonseed
Meal Sack Sewed Tightly
Over steel Tubing.

A good way Of caring for injured
colts is given by q writer In an ex-
change. He says:
I recently had a ten-months-old colt
suffer a evere wire cut on its breast
and forearms SO that it could not lie
down, so I set about to devise a sling
to ease the colt. l had none on hand,
SO made one as follows: For the
cloth part, I secured a large cotton
seed meal sack wide enough to sup
port the entire under surface Of the
colts body. The ends of this sack
l stitched securely owe ordinary
one and one-half-inch steel tubing. al
lowing the ends of the tube to project
from the ends several inches. AS

Sling for Colts.

I did not want to cut the rope I had
OF hand, for hanging this sling from
the ceiling, | threw one end over a
beam just above the colts withers
and showed each end through the gas
pie and drew them up so the sling
rested snugly against the colts chest.
The ends of the rope were then thrown
over a joist above the colts loins
and drawn up SO as to bring the other
end of the sling against the colts alb
domen and then fastened securely. In
a few minutes the colt caught on and
was soon resting comfortably in the
sling.

Weakened by Alcohol.

DR.. Bertillon, the eminent French vi.
tai statistician, has shown that tuber-
culosis is twice as prevalent among
the retail liquor dealers of France as
among other shopkeepers. He at
tributes it to the fact that the alcohol
which they handle and use all day
long weakens their bodies and thus
renders them more susceptible to the
disease germ.
