This situation ii due partly to the change in the regulations whereby candidates are permitted to divide their examinations over several years iwd partly to the fact that the number of candidates this year has increased greatly The increase in the number of candi- dates will necessarily extend by at least one week the time required i, > reai the candidates' answers. It is hoped, how- ever, that this loss of time will be onV c by the gt>in due to not having to prepare lists for the newspapers. Accordingly, it iajezpected that iho certificate;) will be mailed to the Principals for distribution to the candidates at least as eariy as heratofore. Tbe principals conoernec are requested to make timely arrange- ments to send on the certificate* tc the candidates immediately on receipt of the same from the Department.

By preventing flies from torment- ing the cows a much greater flow of milk is obtained during the summer .months and the remainder of the lac- tation period. The following home- made mixture has given good results. It is better than several other mixtures tried and quite as efficient as the prepared sprays costing a dol- lar per gallon. It is made as follows: 1 ^4 quarts of any standard coal tar dip, 1 '-j quarts fl.su oil, 1 pint oil of tar, 1 quart coal oil, % pint oil of eucalyptus. Mix in ten gallons of lukewarm soft water in which a bar ofMaundry soap has been dissolved. Spray twice a day. In the morning after milking and In the afternoon when cows are Brought in for silage or green feed. When a half-barrel cart with spray nozzle attachment is used, two men can spray a herd of forty cows in ten minutes. This mix- ture Is not j?erffct and does not keep all the flies away and, furthermore, It leaves th cost rather harsh and causes dnst to adhere; however, it is very beneficial ami practical. Shelter from the hot ami' of sum- mer must be provided if efficient and oconomlcal production is to bo expected.
