Stock KEEPING IN FURoPE.--1n
those parts of Europe where Agriculture
is most fourishing = in England, Belgium,
Holland, and the agricultural districts of
Germany and France, the raising of crops
is considered to be next to impossible, that
is, for some length of time, without the
raising and feeding of sufficient number
of live stock. In those countries animal
husbandry is considered an inseparable
and highly important part of agriculture,
and no land owner, no matter how rich
the soil may be, would allow his tenant
to sell, to give away, or to burn any straw,
hav. etc. How is that for instance, Eng
lands fields produce so rich crops-that
in England an acre of land produces not
only just as many, but even more bushels
of wheat and other grain, than it did fifty
or a hundred years ago, and that there
the soil is constantly increased instead Of
diminishing in fertility, while in our coun-
try the opposite is taking place 1t is
nothing but the home consumption OF all
the cereals and the primary products Of
the soil. So.called artificial fertilizers
don't care in what they consist, can
never compensate for the loss of barnyard
manure and animal excrements.
That farm management undoubtedly Is
the best and the most profitable, which
not only leaves large balance to the
right, but also keeps the source flowing
or rather increases the same ; therefore
stock-raisng is necessity. Moreover
there is surely no branch of farming tina
requires less hard labor, and will sooner
and with more certainty fill the pockets
of farmer with greenbacks than ratlona
breeding, raising and feeding of live stock

FNGLAND's SUPPLY OF BUTTER.-It
seems likely that considerable American
butter will be wanted in England the pre-
sent season, not because the yield there is
not good, but for the reason that little will
be received from the favored old districts
on the continent. On this point, the Lon
don Mix Journal says: East and
northeast Of Rouen the number of cows is
SO small that they cannot supply the
neighboring towns without drawing cows
from districts not visited by the Germans !;
by this means production may be equal

GRUB IN THE HEAD.-To prevent the
depoaite of the sheep gadhy's eggs, it is
the practice of some farmers to pillow a
furrow or two in the pasture fields, thus
afording the tormented animals the oppor-
tunity of rubbing their noses in the loose
earth, and protecting themselves from
these insects, Others Recommend smear
ing the noses with tar, fish oil, or various
substances offensive to the fly. Many
absurd and dangerous practices have been
resorted to for the purpose Of dislodging
the grub. Injecting into the nostril tobac-
co, turpentine, tar and oil, etc, are among
the remedies prescribed. Such applica-
tons should be resorted to with great eau
ton. 1t is more than probable that in a
large proportion of cases in which sheep
die with these Larvae in the sinuses, the
cause of death was some disorder quite
distinct from the presence of the grub.
There is another affection commonly
known under the same name" grub in
the head (which is often fatal, and very
difficult to treat. This affection is also
called sturdy or gid, and is caused by the
presence of totally distinct parasite, or
hvdatid, in the brain. The situation OF
this last cntozoon is truly within the brain
or its membranes, while that of the CAD
fly larva is in the nasal snuses, outside
the cavity of the skull One IS cOmpar-
atively mild disorder the other lntracabIe
and generally fatal Exchange.
