VALUE OF SULPHUR ON FARMS.
CURE FOR TICKS IN SHEEP. Mix a little sulphur with salt, ami feed occasionally to sheep. It will effectually destroy sheep ticks. The same remedy applied to cattle troubled with lice will soon rid them of the vermin. The nse of sulphur with salt well repays the trouble of keeping a supply for cattle and sheep. If a mixture of one part sulphur whith seven of salt be treely applied there will be no trouble with vermin. CURE FOR LICE IN POULTRY. A lady who has raised a large number of hens says that after vainly trying the recommended remedies for lice she has hit upon the plan of giving them once or twice a week a large loaf made of flour, in which a handful of sulphur has been mixed. The hens like it, and are freed from lice and kept healthy throughout the season. We would not advise poultry-keepers to trust to the above plan to exterminate lice unless the fowlhouses are thoroughly clean to begin with.
