Gus, and do not remain long in the
wool, they do not poison the maggots.
Sprinkling is very much. akin to
dipping, the same solution being
used. 1t is practiced when it is not
convenient to dip each sheep sepa-
rately, and secures the saturation of
the fleece at parts most likely to be
struck" Fol sprinkling, sheep are
penned together, and the solution ap-
piled to the fleece by means of a
watering pot with hose attachment,
but this plan is not to be compared
with individual dipping for efficiency.
For the protection of wounds, oxide
of zinc ointment to which ten drops
of carbolic acid have been added to
eacn ounce, or a mixture of flowers
of sulphur and carbolized oil is very
useful.

Planting Sugar Cane.

Sugar cane is planted. not sown. A
small piece of the cane, long enough
to include two or three of the rings,
or nodes, is laid lengthwise, or stuck
in slanting direction, along fur
row which runs the length of the
field. In some sections the primitive
fashion of planting in holes is still en-
ployed. When the trench is planted
the pieces of cane are lightly covered
with earth. In few weeks they show
growth above the ground, the germ
buds at the rings having begun to
shoot out in the form of young cane,
the ring having at the same time
thrown out rootlets into the soil. The
parallel trenches are made far enough
apart, say at least three feet, to en-
able the workers, when the wide
spreading canes are getting ripe. to
go between the rows and remove the
dying leaves which burden the ripen-
ing cane, thereby enabling the naked
cane to mature faster.

NOTES ON BLOOMING THINGS

No matter what the calendar says,
do not plant your tnberoses out of
doors until the ground is WARM and
spring settles downright.
Liquid manure is made by saving
a barrel in two or using tub with a
spigot near the bottom. Punch holes
in an old lard can through the bot
tom and NIL with fresh manure. Place
it on the tub with boards laid across
the tub) and fill the can with water.
Harden plants grown under cover
by exposing them to the sun and air
and outdoor atmosphere. Expose them
but short time at first and increase
the exposure until they are hardy.
However. they must not be left in the
weather during high OF cold winds or
when frost, snow or ice are in the
air.

WORRY FOR SHEPHERD
Prevent Attacks of Flies Which
Produce Maggots in Sheep.
Cuts and injuries Received In Shear
ing and Allowing Dirt to Ac-
cumuIate Are Two Things Fa-
voring Attacks OF "Fly."
CIV NJ. C. MILLERA


There exists good deal of differ
ence in opinion as to the particular
fly" responsible for the ''maggoting'
of sheep. 1t is popularly supposed
to be caused by the common blow
fly" or flesh fly" The exact kind of
fly is. however, of more interest to
the entomoiogist than to the sheep
man, and whatever its name and vari-
ETY., we know at least something about
the circumstances under which the at
tack occurs.
We know something, too. about the
method of preventing attack if we
could always persuade the farmers to
pat it into practice, and also of good
many agents that will completely de-
'stroy the maggot.
Two things that particularly favor
the fly attacks that cause such trou-
Bile, are cuts and other injuries re-
ceived in shearing and allowing the
sheep and, especially the lambs, to get
dirty behind. Filth seems to form
congenial habitat for the maggots,
and damp. fetid patch of wool will
generally be found to be the place
where they are actually at work. Thus,
the rump and region of the tail are
parts very liable to become maggoted
In addition to wounds or cuts and a
soiled condition of the fleece, the
length of wool and it's profuse secre-
ton may attract the fly, and leads to
deposit of their eggs.
Powdering the fleece used to be the
favorite method of prevention, but dip
ping or sprinkling with a fluid prep
aration has largely superseded it as
being more economical as well as
more efficient

part of mixtures of sulphur, arsenic.

but they are not ne8rly so effective
as reliable dip. ~
The poison" bogy frightens some.
but properly prepared poisonous dips
are perfectly safe If the ordinary care
is used, which of course includes rigid
adherence to specific directions framed
to insure safety and efficiency.
In order that it may be lasting as
we'll as efficient, it seems almost nee.
essary that dip should be poisonous,
and such dip by remaining in the
fleece. will, if employed in the early
part of the season, confer immunity
from the fly attack to very great
extent, as well as prevent the devel
opment of the larvae.
Carbolic dips and other prepara
tons of coal tar. although quite equal
to killing any vermin which the sheer
may harbor, are certainly very eva
nescent, and their odor, on which they
depend for deterring the fly" is quick

Heretofore, much of the hay of
this country was lost through allow
ing it to stand in stacks in the field.
The hay barn is now a necessity on
every good farm where the most is
made of everything. Where hay is
still stacked, canvas covers help
great deal, but the only way to prop
erly care for clover hay is to put it
into well ventilated barn.
The value of the hay crop depends
largely upon the man who makes it.
He must have exact knowledge OF
the time to cut it, just how it must be
cured in all kinds of weather, and
how to store it. He must thoroughly
understand the use of all haying ma
chinery, and know how to make the
most of every hour of the haying sea
son with his human help as well.
The proper use of machinery is the
most important thing. Too many
farmers in their haste to get the crop
on the ground crowd their moving
machines beyond their capacity,
which always results in considerable
loss. Nothing is mere indicative of a
poor farmer than the sight of hay
field in which little rows cf grass,
varying from two to six inches are
left standing, the result Of trying to
make a seven-foot cycle bar cut a
seven-foct six-inch swath.
The machine should be set and so
driven as to cut every spear of grass
slick and clean, and lay it down even
ly. Then, when the raking comes on,
there is another source of loss in the
careless way in which the ground is
covered, or rather not covered. Lit.
tie lunches of hay left here and there
count largely in the aggregate, and
mean large money loss.

(By r. G. wEATHERsroNE.,

(By sR. G. WEATHERSTONE.)
Haymaking is an art which great
many farmers have not yet learned.
The modern method of making hay
Is far different from that of the old
days when the grass was cut with
scythes, turned with pitchforks-if
time permitted-and slowed away in
dark, musty barns, or stacked in the
open field to keep or spoil as might be.
In modern ihaymaking, time is es-
sential. If the crop should be cut a
day too soon it will easily spoil. If
a day too late it's quality may be i'm,
paired by its dry, woody growth. If
it is allowed to lie on the ground "a
hours too long before being tossed and
cured, it's quality may be reduced one
half.
Modern haying machinery makes
haymaking easier, but even with all
the appliances that ingenious manu-
facturers have given US, the proper
tion of farmers who make a sure
thing of their hay crop every year
is all too small
There always has been great deal
Of trouble in curing the clover hay
crop. Much of its value is lost be-
cause of the lack of help necessary to
properly cure 1t and ts.ke care of it
after it has been cured. The hay
tedder has helped greatly, and this
kicking machine is now seen on every
good farm where the best modern
methods are employed.
The side rake is another fine ma
chine which helps US in saving the
crop, and if clover is cut at exactly
the right time the use of these two
machines will enable any farmer to
save all there is of his crop, with at
least SO per cent of its feeding value
