InJure skin Of Animal to Which
It Is Applied.

To protect mich COWS and young
stock and horses from the common
house fly and the more troublesome
wood fly the following mixture may
be used without injury to the skin
of the animal to which 1t Is applied.
1t Is an excellent and economical

one pint of coal oil. one ounce of car
bolic acid. Mix thoroughly. Stir the
contents before using. Spray a
small quantity of this or apply with a
paint brush to each animal once a
week. A small quantity will answer.
The following furmula Is recon-
menoed by Professor Wheeler of the
Kansas Agricultural college: Resin,
one and one-half pounds; laundry
soap, two cakes; fish oil, one-half pint.
and water to make three gallons. Dis
solve the resin In solution of soap and
water by boiling together. Add fish
oil and the balance Of water. Apply

Matteson's formula is: Fish oil.
three parts; crude petroleum, one
quart, and carbolic acid, one ounce.
Mix we'll. One-half pint will cover
twelve cows; put on with spray pump,
Tn.-J formulas are all good. Their
use will prevent the COWS from being
annoyed by the fies when at pasture
or In the stable. Cows so treated will

Fat Hogs In Hot Season.

Fat hogs are extremely susceptible
to sunstroke, as they cannot perspire
freely, and have their body tempera-
ture reduced by the evaporation Of
perspiration as can the horse.
An excellent plan is to frequently
swab the hogs bodies with water to
keep them cool. A hog Frustrated by
the heat should be conveyed to q
shady place, where cool water should
be poured on the head and neck. but
not over the rest of the body.

Hens sitting should be busted with
powder every five days during the
hatch to hold the lice In check. The
eggs and nesting material should be
busted. Place an inverted sod in the
bottom of the nest to give needed

lousy, and can be brought back to a
healthy condition by busting them
with the powder.
