“FINE CUT.” 
That represents the space given us in 
this department at present. Never mind; 
we are silent, perhaps, but all the same 
we are coining the seigniorage of the 
space given us and what we would like to 
put in it, and it will be put into circula¬ 
tion all in good time. We try to make it 
of true metal so that it won’t waste. In 
tbe meantime our word is, '• Despise not 
the ads! ” They add to the value of the 
paper. We give you hints and advice and 
the ads open the way to bargains. Read 
them all over, and answer all in your 
line. Spend that extra dollar you used 
to pay for The R. N.-Y. in answering 
ads. It will pay you I The R. N.-Y. is 
printed for those who own pen, ink and 
paper and can do business by mail.

Split api’lk Tkebs; J.ung Worms in sheep.— 1. 
Hew can I stop my apple trees from spllttliiR at the 
upper end of the bodies ? Would It be Injurious t<i 
the trees to put bolts throuKh t'^em? They are about 
one foot In diameter. 2. What Is a remedy for 
worms In sheep’s lunRS ? .1. G. H. 
ANB.—1. By the means you suggest, bv a bolt 
through the crotch, or by a bund around the limbs 
above the crotch. The bolt would be preferable, and 
would not Injure the tree materially. 2. Feed liber¬ 
ally on linseed cake, roots, corn, beans, or ether 
sound, nutritious diet, to which may bo added a mix¬ 
ture In equal parts of sulphate of Iron, gentl. n and 
ginger In the proportion of four ounces to every 10 
sheep. Place the atrected animals In a close building 
and burn pinch after pinch of flour of sulphur on a 
piece of paper laid on an Iron shovel, until the air is 
as much charged with the fumes as they can bear 
without coughing violently. The administrator must 
stay with them In the bullldlng and keep up the ap¬ 
plication for half an hour at a time. It should be re¬ 
peated several days In succeiSion, and at Intervals 
of a week for several weeks so as to kill the young 
worms as they are hatched out In successive broods, 
and not until all cough and excitement of breath¬ 
ing have passed should the animals he considered as 
safe to mix with others or go on a healthy pasture. 
Lick on hogs.—W hat is a remedy for the large 
lice on hogs 7 Carbon oil applied (completely sat¬ 
urated) once a week for a length of time did not en¬ 
tirely remove them. They seem to breed in the ears. 
Wllmore, Pa. G. w. s. 
AN8.—The treatment Indicated, If persevered In, 
should remove them. In all such cases, there are 
nits or eggs that hatch out afterwards, and subse¬ 
quent applications must be made to destroy these. 
Try anointing with sulphur ointment or whale oil, 
rubbing It well Into the ears, and also thoroughly 
cleanse the pens. 
Onk-horse Corn and Bean Planter.— Where 
can 1 buy a one-horse corn and bean planter which 
may be operated with the driver riding or walking, 
and that plants In hills two rows at a time at dis¬ 
tances apart to suit the operator? What Is the 
weight? o- o. P.

dead wire fence. It was caused by an animal 
running Into It. The animal “didn t mean to. me

It is an eye sore to the owner. He looks across the
