It Is time to prepare for soiling crops against the days of summer drought that are sure to come. It Is only by a success of sueh crops that the efficiency of the dairy can be maintained in the trying August days. It Is best to have two pastures for sheep, and to change from one to tne other weekly. Make the change from dry feed to pasture carefully, allowing sheep In pasture only a few hours at first.

This gives the cue for a cheap and effective louse killer. Wrap the post tightly from the ground up with qtiarter-lneh rope, and saturate the rope with ker osene every few days. Kerosene will kill lice, and rfie hogs will keep on scratching against this post. Do not leave- the cows out In the cold May rains. The changes in feed should be brought about gradually and with as much care as possible. Always give a good feeding of hay before the cows are turned into the i ; as tare the first time In the spring. | Put In lots of sweet corn. It is an attraction on the home table and a money maker in the dairy. In case your rows show signs of having scours, give them a teaspoon ful of fine charcoal with the milk for a rew days.
