'that it is almost impossible to gbate the, nuisance, and clear animale that are: brought to the. place are sgon infected. with them,. The surroundings of the pens,. 'Hovéels and yards are such as to:- breed ver- min, andit is not possible to control them- until the sanitary conditions of the place are improved. The vilé air and stenches and rotting composition of soll. urine and: 'manture are. enough to sicken the animals and to breed all sorts of injurions para- 'gites. 'The irritation of the parasites and 'the foul sir together are frequently the: 'direct cause of lean animals, sickness and general lack of appetite. The best thing todo is to turn the animals outinto the: 'clean, sweet fields, and: then give the barn- - yards and hovels a thorough overhauling At this time of the year preparations, must begin for winter quarters and as If 'is in the winter that yermin dothe most harm to afffmals it is high time to look in- to' the matter, says E,.

The injury that vermin do to cattle and all animals can hardly be estimated. They worry and. {rritate them to such:an extent will often cause sickness simply through the irritation caused by the itching, and: 'everything should be done to destroy them. HOW TO KEEP CIDER. It is generally agreed that in order to produce cider that will keep well, the pro- cess of fermentation should be conducted rapidly, and the attenuation or reduction 'carried to the lowest limit possible, says 'the Amerfean Cider Maker. If any large proportion of saccharine matter remains - unfermented, the opportunity is afforded | (for unhealthy ferments to gerfilnate and multiply, to the detriment of 'the quality of the. cider, observes a practical and well- informed cider maker.
