FARM NOTES, V ERMIN, —These are the worts pests M the seasan, and need immediate ittention. before they do mischief by thelr rapid increase sa numbers, The poultry vermin are engouraged by filth; they are also brought in and spread by rats and mice, and where these creatures abound it is fmnpossible to keep the buildings clear of fleas and lice, The poultry house Is the first point of attack. If the fowls are kept n or adjacent to the barn and stables, they should be removed, because they become a source of infection to other animals. Horses have been known to die from tke effects of those intoler- able but minute pests known as chicken fleas—small red mites which cover a person who carelessly handles the fowls in the evening, and who finds irritation produced by these pests over his whole body, For these reasons fowls should be kept where they can be kept clean and the house free filth, Dry alr dusted over the whole house and kero- drenched over the perches and nest boxes, especially in the joints and If these precautions are used, breeding place of the vermin the fowls will and keep clean, ( be easily {reed from their pests. Der- sou Severe measures be ken to destroy the vermin in their harbors, but once this is it is easy y the at a distance. The skin be dressed with a mixture of ounce of lard, one ounce and one Leaspooktel of cre 11 rubbed together, bis must ly or it will not be effective, Cows be treated same manner. And once the pests are dis- lodged the animals should be well brushed once a day. This cleansing of the skin is a great help. It removes the dry, scurfy matter among which sene oll cracks, and the lestroved soon free ‘alves can T thiemsely as nn naps LES done to Keey should four guiphur, we ne dai in 3 01 BOL, be dor + should in tae upon. When any lice are left it will be a good plan to pour a small quantity of kerosene oll upon the brush and work it into the animal’s coat, This the pest-, horses should they become infested. The ticks upon sheep and lambs re- quire harsher methods. These tough, leathery insects seem to be against all milder remedies than a strong dose of tobacco and sulphur. A pound of strong tcbacco is steeped 12 hours in a gallon of boiling hot water; four ounces of flowers of sul- phur is added and the liquor stirred several times. It is then strained and cooled to 120°, when either the lambs are dipped In it, or it is poured alo the back and distributed alon sides, shouiders, and flanks in way that the wool holds it. This kills the ticks, but it sometimes sickens the lambs.
