SURE CURE FOR BOTS.
A simple and effective cure for
bots in horses is published by
the United States department of
agriculture. An experimenter
tried a few tests upon a quanity
of live bots taken from a horse
which the bots had killed.
When put into sage tea they died
in fifteen hours, but as that was
too slow a process, he tried them
in nitric acid, but it seemed to
trouble them nomore than water.
He then bruised some tansy,
and made an infusion of the
juice, and put some of the
bots into it. They were
dead in a minute. As he
had a horse suspected with bots,
he gave him some tansy tea in
the morning and a dose of salts
in the evening. The next morn
ing the horse’s excrement con
tained a pint and a half of these
bots, and the cure, after repeat
ed trials, is now said to be recog
nized as thoroughly effective.
BED BUGS.
Mr. Editor: Did you ever get
into a nest of bed bugs? I have
and have been run out of my bed
to the floor for rest, and once to
a bed of straw in a gin house.
I have heard preachers say that
they had often been run out of
bed while visiting their members
after having preached two and
three times during the day, and
robbed of a whole night’s rest.
This is too bad and right here I
want to advise all the ladies who
read the News to examine your
beds at once, and if you find the
horrid bed bugs on them, tear
the bedsteads down at once, and
carry them out doors, bed cloth
ing and all, then scald your bed
steads with hot water, and re
varnish them oil over, inside and
out. Then pick the bugs all off
of the bed clothes and let them
take the hot sun all day and you
will thereby get rid of the pest,
and your company will get a
good nights rest. Don’t come to
the conclusion reader that that
means any body but your self,
until you have carefully examin
ed every bed on your place. I
know what I am writing about,
for I have been there and may
the Good Lord deliver me from
ever getting there again.
An enemy of bedbugs.
