There Is no better pasture grass than
the blue grass, which In some iuii-n ..f
the country Is known as .lime grass.
Its roots run near the surface, ami the
pasture Is therefore sweet and good so

mer these shallow roots have another
great advantage. They are b tiled

To Kill the II or n At.
The best way of lighting the trouble
some hoi n II y is by the aiilicatloti to
the cattle of an emulsion of some kind
which will kill the Insects already
there, and keen others away. Fish oil.
to which a little carbolic acid -about a
tablesioiinful of tlie acid lo a pint of
the oil - has been added, makes a verv
heap and effective application. Ker
osene emulsion used as a spray Is also
good, being especially adaplcd to large
herds. The emulsion Is made hy add
ing a half pound of soap (dissolved In
gallon of boiling water! to two gal-
mis of kerosene. This emulsion, when
thoroughly mixed and allowed to cool,
assumes the consistency of clubber
milk: when used as a spray, It Is di
luted wiih water In which tobacco
stems have been boiled.-Farm News.

those who have been careful to secure

advantage. The first cffict of a de

Hcfore the vines start to run, culti
vate the ground between the rows,
and, after a few days, throw a furrow
to the plants on each side of every row.
Take the Ins1 and draw the earth up
close to the vines, and cut out all
weeds. The after cultivation consists
III stirring the ground Itotweeu the
rows with the cultivator set to run
shallow, and of hoeing the ridges mid
preventing the vines from riH.ttng ut
the joints. As soon as the vines com
ineiice to turn yellow the pot at oca are
ris', ami can be dug and sent to mar
ket. It Is more prolltable to dig and
sell direct from the field.

A very weak dilutlm" of carbolic acid
will keep flies off from cows in hot
weather. Tlie carliolic acid may be
made stronger and mixed with some
grease to put around the cow' horns,
as the horu tly I more jsTslstent in it
attacks nt this point, and there Is no
danger of the acid here where the cow
cannot get at It to lick It. No cow like
the odor of carbollcHcld.
