The Southern Buffalo Gnat

1t has been found that grease of
various kinds is the best preventive.
Cotton-seed oil alone, or mixed with
tar, kerosene, crude oil, or axle grease
are among the best. These should
be applied twice a day All of these
remedies are more or less injurious to
the animal, but their effect is small as
compared with the gnat, and soon
passes away when the use of them is
discontinued.
A mixture of oil and tar has been
found very effective against a closely
related fly, and on account of its sim
plicity and responsiveness is strong
ly recommended. A quantity of coal
tar is placed in the bottom of large
shallow receptacle, and small guam
tity of oil of tar, or oil of turpentine
is stirred in. The receptacle is then
filed with water and allowed to stand
for several days until we'll impregnat
ed with the odor. The animals to be
protected are then washed with this
water as often as seems to be neces.
sary.
Animals that are allowed to run at
large during the winter and have nc
shelter from the weather, are sure to
suffer severely from the gnats. Cut
bruised, and ill-fed mules are the first
to die. Intelligent planters say that II
mules are well fed and cared for and
creased twice a day while working in
the field, they scarcely ever die when
attacked
REMEDIES FOR THE BITES: The

Jackson he had but one purpose,
namely: Learning to make the best
broom and the best mattress that
could be made. Having spent three
sessions at the institute he returned
to Lauderdale county, and set up a
business of broom making in Me-
ridian, with a capital of $44, of which
$19 was borrowed.
That was twenty years ago The
years have come and gone; the blind
man has continued to work towards
his ideal of the best broom" and the
best mattress that could be made"
and as a consequence this man has
built up from an investment of his
own capital of $25, twenty years ago,
a business that today yields an aver

could go and learn a trade suited to
his unfortunate condition in life. He
promptly availed himself of this priv
