'Tho sheep-fly is -this summer jawing a serious menace an J&.nstralKv, and farmers have been exercising their minds as a means for eliminating, or at least limiting- raystgos »f the pest.

With this object in view, this gentleman, who controls about .10.000 acres, lias erected yards in each of his paddocks. so that the sheep can he expeditiously dealt with. Apart from the usual practice of crunching and treating the affected pants wdai sheep dip or"other preparations on the market, efforts made to destroy the fly by poisoning a log of mutton which lias been saturated with a solution of arsenic have proved most effective- One pound of arsenic is dissolved in six quarts of water, and then diluted by the addition of six gallons of water. In this the mutton is immersed, and the harts are then hung on convenient: -trees. The flies are attracted, and die in thousands when they lodge on the meat. It is contended that if this method was systematically adopted the pest would. be considerably lessened, Some pasioralists have found that a weak dressing of eucalypti extract- on the affected parts has had good results, as the flies appear to have a decided aversion to the smell.” HI mu mutism and other forms of uric acid poisoning are curable. But not by exterior rubbing, baths and dieting, but by 'removing the excess, uric acid from the blood. R-HEI MO baa restored thousands of sufferers to iKvrnaiHUit health.
