For years she used to set in the little alcove under the steps going up- stairs in the horse-stable, However, site seemed to get tired of that lately „ and besides we were always cer- tain to find her there, On occasions she used to get up in the old buggy, back ,in the far end of the driving- shed. Once we found her nesting under the sheep-pen in a bundle of dirt and straw. She also used to try and nest in the straw stack in the barn-yard, Then last week one day we saw her strut across the barn-yassl, stopping to take a drink at the pump, from a little overflow puddle. She shied her wings down to the ground and brood- ily Cussed the dog when lie attempted to ruffle her np a bit.

MITE CAUSES MANGE IN HORSES, CATTLE Mange in horses, cattle, and sheep is caused by a minute parasite, com- monly known as a mite, living on or in the skin and reproducing itself by means of eggs. Authorities have shown that two mites, a male and a female, are capable of producing 1,- 500,000 descendents in about three months,. The mite belongs to a very large order of parasite and is divided into many families which have dis- tinct characteristics, peculiarities, and preferences. Some of these families remain on the surface of the skin, and others burrow into deep layers. Although a great deal has been dis- covered with regard to the life his- tory of the' mite, it is evident, says Dr. A. E. Cameron, Veterinary Dir- ector General of Canada, in publication No. 734 just published on "Mange in Horses, Cattle and Sheep", that the mite has some habits which authorities have so far failed to discover. It has been suggested that the mite may be carried on rats, mice, birds, and var- ious insects, and in this way the dis- ease is spread to districts where it had not been previously detected. It is, however, a well-known fact that the mite will not remain on the dead animal. In the circular, Dr, Cameron re- views the disease as it affects horses, cattle, and sheep, and gives some ims portant information on treatment to be observed. As mange is a report- able disease, its suspected 'existence should be promptly reported to the nearest veterinary inspector. The Regulations under the Animal Con- tagious Diseases Act relating to mange and to scab in sheep are included in the circular which may be obtained free by writing to the Publicity and Extension/Division, Dominion.
