 After all, what puzzles me is the great horror which horses an mules evince towards this particular fly, the oestrus equi. ! have never seen them appear so sensitive to the approach of any other, as if they had an instinetivc dread of some terrible mischief Yet what can we say against such high authorities It would appear strange, too, on the other hand, that Providence, for the propagation of an irl- sect so worthless, should ieopardise the life of so noble an animal, As is my wont on such occasions, mustlall back upon my old resource, acknowledge my ignorance, and pray once more with Ajax-'sgive us but light.o S.S.I.

They would grow peortowards spring their backs would assume the appeamnce ofan arch-the scoit- CTS would set i'll, and they would die in de- spite of all nay care and attention Eyperi- ence and observation have convinced me that lice was the primary cause of all the difficult ty; and for several years have adopted the practice of destroying them in the fall, or torepaft of winter, since which time have not lost calf. have tried many remedies, but the best lining have tried is sulphur.

Ii sticks close l to the hide and hair, and continues to scent until they shed their coat, and prevents any

 more from getting on them from other ani-

 mals wiih which they may come in contact i l keep my calves by themselves, and have q

 warm shelter-lor lhem 10 go il when they choose, in addition flo IS much good hay as they can eat. give them each half a pint of oats or corn meal ground ill the car night and morning, and l never was troubled with having my calves gel SO fat in winter as to die with the black leg as your correspondent Ill the January No. ol the Culiisator com plains of.
