Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
or outdoors when the weather is inclem¬ 
ent. He will soon be able to do without 
ft blanket, however, and it is wonderful 
how clipping alone improves appetite, 
spirits and activity. Indeed, it. is a fine 
remedy for chronic indigestion, along with 
suitable medicinal treatment. When 
these things have been attended to, feed 
the horse molasses rations, as follows: 
Dilute one quart of blackstrap molasses 
in three quarts of hot. water and then stir 
in 5 lbs. of cut hay, four quarts of corn- 
meal and two pints of coarse wheat bran. 
Feed this amount night and morning, and 
allow long hay at night and whole oats at 
noon. It may be necessary at first, to 
starve the horse to eat the molasses feed, 
but be will soon take to it with relish, 
and it is wonderful to see how quickly it 
plumps the body, smoothes out and heals 
the slan, when It has been galled by the 
harness. If medicinal treatment seems 
to be necessary after molasses rations 
have been given for some time, give half 
an ounce of Fowler’s solution of arsenic 
uight and morning in feed or a little wa¬ 
ter. Discontinue the solution gradually 
when no longer needed, taking at least 10 
days to the process. 
Gadfly Grubs 
Is there any remedy for “grub in the 
head” in sheep? We have a Hock of 50, 
and during (he Winter and Spring have 
lost nine. The lasl one we lost had seven 
large grubs and some small ones in the 
head. The symptoms of all were the 
same; diarrhoea aud thirst, but did not 
eat much. w. n. u. 
There, is no certain remedy for gadfly 
grubs in the sinuses or cavities of the 
head. The best way is to prevent the 
flies from depositing the embryo grubs in 
the vestibule of the nostrils in fly time in 
Summer. This may be accomplished by 
keeping pine tar daubed upon the noses 
of the sheep. A popular way of manag¬ 
ing that is to feed salt from large anger 
holes bored in a squared log, and keep 
well daubed with tar. Another plan is to 
feed salt from a shallow trough covered 
with a thick plank in which holes are 
bored so that the upper Opening is wide 
and the inner one narrow. The board is 
then kept smeared with tar, so that the 
sheep get it onto their noses when taking 
the salt. When a sheep is very valuable 
it may pay to trephine the skull, into the 
infested frontal sinuses, and remove the 
grubs with forceps. This has been done 
successfully, but. it is rarely worth while. 
To determine the right, points in which to 
use the trephine for removal of a disk of 
bone, draw a line with colored chalk 
from one eyebrow' to the other and draw 
another line perpendicularly down the 
middle of the face and intersecting the 
trnnsvere line. The places to trephine 
will then -be in the upper inner angles 
formed by the two lines. We once had 
occasion to dishorn a big ram, and when 
this had been done gadfly grubs were seen 
in the horn cores which connect with the 
frontal sinuses of the head. Some shep¬ 
herds state that they have had fairly 
good success from pouring a little of a 
mixture of one part of turpentine or ker¬ 
osene and three parts of olive oil into each 
nostril in turn, Die sheep being laid down 
and its nose turned up to allow of this 
being done. It is also a common practice opening to the top (

Preparing and 
Loading the Charge 
C UT FUSE of a length sufficient to project six inches from 
top of hole. Be sure cut is made squarely across fuse, 
not diagonally. Remove one blasting cap from box with 
the fingers. (Do not use a wire, stick or any other hard 
implement.) Next, slip cap on end of fuse, and crimp se¬ 
curely with cap crimper. (Clover Brand recommended.) 
Punch a hole diagonally In side of cartridge with pointed 
handle of cap crimper, and insert cap with fuse attached. 
To keep cap from slipping out, tie a string around fuse and 
then around cartridge. 
If the charge is to consist only of the primed cartridge, 
place it directly in the bottom of the hole made beneath 
the stump. For a larger charge, slit the other cartridges — 
unless the ground is wet—press them down into the bottom 
of the hole, and load the primed cartridge last. Cap should 
point toward bottom of bore hole. 
The subsequent steps in stump blasting will be described 
in future issues of this paper. 
Dumorite, the new Du Pont Farm Dynamite, is the 
cheapest explosive for stumping. You can buy 135 to 140 
sticks for the same price as 100 sticks of 40% dynamite—one- 
third more at no extra cost. Dumorite has the heaving 
action of “20% ” and the strength of “40%,” stick for stick. 
Order Dumorite from your local dealer and write us for free 
copy of 104-page “Farmers’ Handbook of Explosives,” 
which gives full instructions for the use of dynamite in land 
clearing, ditching and tree planting.

SILO for *14522 
Strength 
— When you build 
— a new silo or rebuild 
your old one, make it 
a Craine—the strongest 
as well as handsomest silo made. 
Its three-wall construction gives 
perfect silage protection. Outside 
the wall of upright staves is an 
air-tight, water prool, frost-defying 
inner wall ofSIlafelt. Outside of both 
is the spiral Crainelox covering, ot 
giant strength—no hoops, lugs, weak 
spots, repairs, but permanent protec¬ 
tion for every inch ot wall. 
Yon can rebuild an old stave silo 
into a Craine at half the cost of a new 
silo. Write for beautifully illustrated

Building Up a Thin Horse 
What would you advise as a good 
method to us to build up a poor horse 
quickly? J. H. 
We should advise you to have the 
horse’s teeth put in good order by a vet¬ 
erinarian so that he will he able perfectly 
to masticate feed. Then, if the coat is 
long and rough, have him clipped at once 
and blanket him iu the stable if it is cold,
