In God, my faithful God, I trust when dark my road, Though many woes o’ertake me, Yet He will not forsake me: His love it is doth send them, And when ‘tis best will end them. My sins assail me sore, But I despair no more ; I trust in Christ who loves me, From this Rock nothing moves me Since | can all surrender To Him, my soul’s Defender. If death my portion be, Then death is gain to me, And Christ my life for ever, From whom no death can sever. Come when it may, He’ll shield me, To Him I wholly yield me. Ah Jesus Christ, my Lord! So meek in deed and word, Didst Thou not die to save us, After this life of sadness, Heirs of Thy heavenly gladness ? * So be it ” then, I say Heartily, day by day!

By Dr, Smith, V.8., Montague. There are several varieties of those well- | known winged pests, which attack the d:tferent domesticated animals, We will | first notice those of the horse, the (Estrus equi), or common gadfly, which attacks the animal while grazing, late’ in thesummer. It’s object being not to derive sustenance, but to deposit its eggs on the coat. This it does by means of a glutin- ous material, causing the ova to adhere to the hairs. The parts of the animal se- | lected are those which can be easily reached by the month, namely, the infer- ior part of the neck, the shoulder and | } inner part of the fore lege. The eggs are also deposited by another variety in the sub-maxillary space. When, from any cause, the animal licks those parts of the coat where the ova are deposited, the moisture of the tongue, together with the warmth of the } animal, hatches those eggs, and in some- thing less than three wecks from the time of the deposit, the larva thus make their escape. As maggots, they are next transferred to the mouth and ultimately to the stomach of the equine bearer, along with food and drink. Those deposited in the sub-maxillary space gain entrance to the stomach by dropping into the feed box | and in this manner are taken up. | It will be easy to understand | that those larva run au big | risk of ever becoming bots in the stomach. | Some of them are never taken off the coat ; by the tongue. Some fall from the mouth to the ground ,and more of them are | crushed during mastication. But still | some of them reach the stomach in safety notwithstanding the dangers that beset | their way during their mode of migra- | tion. On their arrival in the stomach | they attach themselves to the mucous | membrane by means of two large cephalic hooks, where they pass about eight months of their lifetime, and on becoming fully developed .they voluntarily loosen | their hold and allow themselves to be carried through the alimentary canal until | at length they make their escape with the | On being transferred to the soil, | they bury themselves beneath the surface | in order to be transferred from the bot state into the pupa condition. They re- main in the soil for a period of six or seven weeks and they then emerge from their pupol envelope or cocoon as perfect- | ly developed insects. Bots seldom or never perforate the walls of the stomach, as supposed by some who have found the stomach eaten through. When the stoim- ach is found in this condition, the post- mortem has generally been delayed for some time after death, and in those cases is due to the acidity of the gastrie juice which is principally hydrochloric acid. During life the gastric juice is prevented from injuring or eating through the stomach by the alkalinity of the blood that is circulating through its walls. We will next notice the bot fly of the ox ((strus Bovis.) These also undergo transformations similar to those of the horse, but instead of acquiring their larval condition in the stomach of their bearer this variety of the insect takes up its abode for this purpose beneath the skin of the animal. The region on either side of the spine is selected for this purpose, and their persance there sets up an_ irri- tation that causes the small tumour termed marbles. Young animals are gen- erally the greatest sufferers from these tor- mentors, The insect perforates the skin by means of an ovipositor, thus causing the cattle to become frantic and gallop all around the pasture. Within the tumor the bot is placed with its head downwards, its tail being applied to a small externa! opening in the mrable, in order that it may receive sufficient air for the purpose of respiration. When the | bots are mature they escape to the ground where they bury themselves for a period of | one monrh or six weeks. They then emerge | from their hiding places perfectly developed winged insects. The common botfly of the sheep (GEstrus Ovis) is the cause of greater annoyance and suffering on the part of its bearer than any other of the varieties before men- tioned, for instead of spending the bot | period of its life in the stomach or back of the bearer its prefers for this the sinews of the head, and considering the situation of these creatures there need be no astonish- ment at the fact that their presence some- | times gives rise to terrible sufferings on the part of the sheep, the afflicted animals occasionally perishing under the inflama tory action thus set up. Stock owners term the disease thus set up “grub in the head.” These grubs on becoming deve- loped pass from the head and go through metamorphosis similar to those already described. Soon after the flies have effected their escape from the cocoon they set about operations for the continuance of the species,and as they are not provided | with a mouth or any other means of taking in nourishment it is obvious that the pleasures they enjoy during the winged | state must be exceedingly short lived. tte = Tf your druggist says he does not know anything about the cures Membray’s Kidney and Liver Cure have effected, write to Peterboro Medicine Company, Limited, Peterboro, Ont. feces, Cold In the Head, A simple cold in the head neglected is the fruitful source of catarrh with all its attendant evils of bad breath, sick stomach, headache, deafness, impure blood, ete. _Hawker’s Catarrh Cure is a perfeci and positive cure for cold in the head, catarrh, influenza, ete.

Pointers On the Kaising of Chickens for Christmas—It is Cheaper to Feed Wheat at Present Prices to Hogs Than Corn—Minor Items of Interest. If one wishes some late chickens to kill, now is a good time to hatch them, | Eggs set the tenth of August wili hatch the first day of September, and Septem- ber isa very favorable month for the | rapid growth of young chickens. One extensive breeder declares that chickens hatched the first of September will be heavier at two months old than when hatched at any other period in the year. He does not, of course, mean that they will make so large fowls, but that they willmake very rapid growth during September and October. Such chickens | are ready toto kill by December first, and should be, for the most part, mar- keted before January first. They will | be profitable to raise, if killed when young. A few September hatched pul- | lets may be kept over for late summer During the late summer the | layers. early hatched pullets will not be ready | tolay, andthe yearling hens will de moulting, and hence producing but few eges. But many of these late pullets—such es have survived the winter—will lay right along. Eggs | at this season are high, and hence these | pullets may turn an honest penny for | their owner. Later, when the eariy pul- lets and the moulted hens begin to ae these late hatched ones can and should be marketed. Owing to the fact that September and October are good growing months, many Bantam breeders hatch their chickens | | now, They set the eggs from the tenth of August right through the month, The chickens get a good start, and then the cold weather comes on to check their growth, and help to keep them small, August is certainly a good month in which to set Bantam eggs. A few Ban- tam breeders, particularly those who breed Game Bantams, prefer to hate! their chickens earlier. They believe that | | the stunting process due to cold weather prevents the Bantams from obtaining as symmetrical development as they would obtain if hatched earlier, and, as the Game Bantams are really the smallest of all the Bantam family, the dwarfing by cold weather seems to be much les But some, even of the Game Bantam breeders, set the Bantam eggs in August. Bantam eggs are set in this month than in any other month in the year, and one | could almost say than all the other | months of the year put together, Farm Notes, You can’t make a crop out of nothing, You pay money to mend public high- ways, and lose as much more by having muddy and rocky driveways on the farm. Some of the richest farms in England are those upon which the liquid manures are saved and applied regularly to the Cistirns and distributing = are the means employed. No other nown method of manuring will make so rich a growth of grass, A kitchen closet that shall combine shelves and closets to contain cookin | utensils, the various small packages o groceries and whatever is needed in cooking, will prove a labor-saving in- stitution and is not difficult to construct, In numerous scientific experiments it has been shown that linseed meal gave a butter very soft and oily; hay and coarse food as exclusive diet gave butter crumbly, white and insipid in flavor, Oats largely fed in the ration, the re- verse. Heavy feeding on silage of in- ferior quality—-such as has not inappro- priately Leen called ‘‘sourkrout”—gave utter of very inferior quality, put little better in general appearance than lard, while butter made under a ration con- taining silage of superior quality, from maize well advanced toward maturity, was of excellent quality. Cottonseed meal makes a harder butter with a high- er melting point. Both flavor and qual- ity are affected by the food, assertions to the contrary notwithstanding, Since the discovery that peas equally with clover have the power of using | atmospheric nitrogen this crop is receiv- ing more attention. It is one of the crops that leave the soil richer, except in mineral elements, than they find it. But as @ green manure, peas are not. equal to clover. The pea early in the season has little power, if any, of using | atmospheric nitrogen, and by the time this power is fully developed, it is too late to plow the peas under as a green manure that season, In a clover crop, though the most nitrogen is found in the soil towards fall. the sod can remain un- plowed until spring and with much less waste of fertility than from peas, which | die with frost and leave the soil naked | throughout the winter. Feeding Wheat to Hogs. The Stockman gives the experience | “Mr, O. | of an Ohio feeder in this way: A. Cory, of Ross County, Ohio, a hog | breeder of many years’ experience, feeds | wheat largely to his hogs because it is cheaper at ruling prices than corn. He says that at 68 cents per bushel wheat is a cheaper feed than corn at 40 cents, It | | contains, he says, nearly four times the | | bone and tiscue-forming elements that | arecontainea in corn. It is a more perfect ration for a growing animal on | this account, as well as being cheaper. | Mr. Cory begins feeding wheat as soon | as his pigs are big enough to pick it up, and continues until about six weeks before they are to be turned off, then reduces it gradually for a couple of weeks, feeding them ona full corn ra- tion for the last four weeks. His hogs are fed on a grase range, the grain ration being one third corn and two thirds wheat. They are fed twice a day as near- ly as may be at exactly the same hour. y always have pienty of pure drink- | ing ~ater and u daily supply of salt and ashes from sound wood. grass balances the ration admirably. The manner of feeding the wheat may have something todo with his success.
