W. 6. W., Hancock, Minn /—What can be 
applied to horses to prevent fliea and mos¬ 
quitoes from bothering them? 
An a— A wash of carbolic soap made with hot 
water into a thick suds, sponged freely over 
the skin and left to dry upon it will afford 
much protection. If a little kerosene oil is 
added to it, it will be still more effective. 
G. W. F., Durand, 111 .:—When should 
■umac be gathered and 4 ‘cured ?” 
Aj; 6 __The leaves of young twigs are gath¬ 
ered in July and August, dried under cover, 
thrashed with flails to break them up, sifted 
from all rough parts, anil are then ground 
finely in a mill, which is a large circular 
stone set on edge and made to run in a circu¬ 
lar trough by means of horse power. The 
fine powder is sifted and bagged for sale. 
The only native sumac used is grown in Vir¬ 
ginia, Missouri, and Tennessee, as in these 
localities the sumac is richer in tannin than 
elsewhere. But this may very likely b« due 
to the manner of gathering it.
