Parasites on Sheep.

Some authorities claim that sheep ought not to be pastured ou land more than one year before it is plowed and reseeded, to parasites, but it has been shown that sheep have been kept frete from parasites by the use of tar, turpentine and salt Bore two-inch holes in a pine log, fill with salt and smear tar around the top, and sheep wfll tar their noses while eating salt Sheep Boon learn to eat tar. One sheep raiser keeps, it mixed with turpentine and salt where it is accessible at all times. About one-half pint of turpentine to one peck of salt is the proper proportion.
