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

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. Some farmers have found a
