Wc Want to Know, You Know— Continued. 
prevent the attacks of the fly, Dr. Law recommends 
that the sheep be fed salt from two-inch aueer boles 
bored In a log, the snrface of which Is smeared with 
tar so that they get a smear of tar every time they 
take a lick of salt. A less efllcaclous method Is to 
turn a furrow in the pasture so that the sheep may 
push their noses Into the loose soil when attacked. 
To kill or expel the larva?, place them In a warm 
building to tempt them from the sinuses, and Intro¬ 
duce snuff, solutions of salt, vinegar or tobacco, or 
weak solutions of turpentine into the nose to kill 
them or cause their expulsion by sneezing. B'orsuch 
as remain, the only successful method Is trephining 
the bones of the face and then syringing out with 
warm water; but this can be done only by a com¬ 
petent surgeon. The treatment recommended on 
page 176 for lung worms In sheep might also be help¬ 
ful. 
Capacity OF Sii^o.—IIowmany tons of cut ensil¬ 
age will a pit 10x23 feet and 16 feet deep hold, pro¬ 
viding It Is well tramped down? w. 
Ans.—IT romM to 60 tons, depending upon the length 
of out and the amount of tramping. 
Mushrooms Outdoors.- Can The r. n.-Y. or any 
of Its readers give me any Information In regard to 
the growing of mushrooms out-of-doors? When and 
how should the spawn be planted? w. P. 
Ans.—P ractically, mushrooms are not grown out- 
of-doors, as. If so planted they must be protected 
from the sun and rain. Besides, they are not profit¬ 
able by that time. The outdoor method differs little 
from that for Indoor culture. The heat needs to be 
maintained at a certain temperature to have them 
do their best, and this Is dlfflcult out-of-doors. 
Mushroom Culture, by Falconer, fL.IO Is a complete 
work on this subject. There are also a couple of 
smaller Rngllsh books at 50 cents each, that are 
practical. The spawn Is usually planted In beds of 
horse manure covered with soil, about six weeks be¬ 
fore the mushrooms are wanted. Seedsmen who 
sell the spawn usually furnish directions for plant¬ 
ing It. 
Grass for pasture.— 1. I wish to seed a piece of 
land to orchard grass and clover, to be cut for hay 
one year, and to be used for pasture thereafter. 
How much of each shall I sow per acre? 2. What 
combination of chemicals shall I use for beans? 
Blllsburg, N. Y. A. s. s. 
Ans.— 1. If you really wish to sow these grasses, 
sow from 8 to 10 pounds of clover and one bushel of 
the Orchard grass seed per acre. They will make 
excellent hay, but for the pasture afterward, a 
greater variety would be better. See answer to P. J. 
L., In this department. 2. Better use bone flour and 
potash. This would probably give as good results as 
any combination you could make.
