Parasitic Insects Of DOmeS-
tic Animals,
And their Destruction.
Paper read at the Farmers Meeting Of
the Board OF Agriculture, &C., by DIR. II.
A. Cutting, of Lunenburgh, state GeoIo-
gist,

Our subject of "Parasitc Insects =" though
perhaps not as pleasant as many others, GER
tainly demands the attention of all agricul-
turists They are in reality pest that
should be guarded against, and though COM
mon practices may prevent fatal effects, it is
in my opinion necessary that the best methods
in all instances should be known, both to
prevent and exterminate them. The facts
present are such as | have been able to
CLEAN from observation and study, and al
though my views may in some points need
modification, | trust that in the main they
are correct. Where my own observations
are imperfect, l have adopted the opinions
of the best observers and authors known to
me; and am in such cases indebted to
their labors for statements perhaps more
valid than my own. Parasitic insects in.
Testing farm stock are numerous, and many
times very injurious to the health of the an.
imal in which or on which they live. But
l can at this time speak Of only the best
known and most injurious species, hoping
that by SO doing l may incite some ono to
become a student Of natural history, pur-
suing closely his observations on these do
nestle parasites, if l may SO call them; and
thus not only add to our scientific knowledge,
but greatly benefit himself and the commu-
nifty at large.
Perhaps more common than any other
parasite is that small, wingless, and disgust
ing insect thrust upon Egypt as one of the
great plaques of God to a disobedent peo-
pie and which is to-day everywhere noto-
rious There are several species Of lice, or
as naturalists call them, Pediclli, which are
found upon cattle.
The most common is HOmatOpiaus vitali,
which is of palish brown color sometimes
slightly spotted with black, having two ra-
diant black eyes and with one of the most
peculiar mouths that insects have when at
rest its mouth forms protuberance on the
front Of its head but contains a sucker
which is forced out at will when extended
it terminates in several little pointed hooks
which aid it first in inserting its sucking
tube, and then by turning Outwards, hold it
with tenacious grip in the skin Of its VIC
tim.
Its abdomen is composed Of rings or bands

Iindoos are distinguished above all other
purely deistic bodies by their clear apprehen-
sion of the nature of sin. Tho following
resolution, recently passed by one of these
societies OF Hindoos, indicates spirit of as
piration for perfection, "even as our Father
which is in heaven is perfect" that quite
puts to shame many protesting Christians
Resolved, That the members should pro-
vide themselves with pocket-books, In which
marks should be given daily, corresponding
with the number of sins of q serious charac-
ter conceived in the heart during the day
Lust, anger, cruelty, are to be accounted
grave sins. We commend the above expe-
dent to all who are struggling with sin. 1t
has been found effectual in tho lives OF
some who have tried it. The sight of a
number of black marks in lifes daily regis

LOVE is LIFE.

Selfshncss is death. Think of one who
has no throb outside himself; is he not en-
tombed in grave more dark than that OF
earth? The moment one begins to love, II
only dog, he begins TO live. To love some
thing that is different from ones self-a flow
or, star, n human soul,-what power is in
it, what stir of all the ia culties! ., the man.
fold life of love! How it flows and streams
away on every side, in love Of father and
mother, brother and sister, husband and
wife, and friend and little children of the
tiniest orb. We rejoice in all things. Ev-
cry sound is delight The very worm be-
meath our feet thrills us. We are alive all
over.
"Theres not throb, thought, sense
But opens into Gods magnihcence."
We cannot know this life until we expert
ence it. How sweet and deep it is, TO what
highths it leads, to what amplitudes it con-
ducts, to what knowledge, purer vision,
beauty and ecstasy! Feed the body with thou
and pleasuresand it is the same dead thing
always Only the spirit is capable of a null
tiplied life, and to the loving spirit the very
stocks and stones open into avenues of glory.
Love is tho magician's wand that shows the
secret riches of the most barren spot. 1t is
Aladdins lamp that compels the finest min
istriss. How weak we are when we are sell
fish! How strong when we are loving, how
varied, how manifold 1t is, indeed, more
blessed to give than to receive; for giving is
the most receptive of all acts. We give from
the finite, but we receive from the infinite.
Love is creative. tits continually producing,
unfolding, enlarging, sweeping into new
forms of beauty and power. Selfshness
witherS congresses, annihilates 1t is the
grave. Love is resurgent, triumphant, i'm
mortal, unbounded. 1t comprehends all,
assimiates all. achieves all; in word, it is

The next of the dipterous insects to which
| call your attention are the flies whose
larvae are known by the name of bots, and
general description will, think, suffice for
the whole. The perfect insect is perhaps a
little larger than the common meat fly they
resemble them somewhat in form, are very
hairy, aud have those hairs colorod in rings,
like humble bees Different species vary
somewhat in their markings. Their life is
very short, seldom exceeding twelve hours
They are never known to eat, and the whole
aim and object of their existence seem 10 be
to deposit their eggs. They are known as
bot flies, breeze flies, CAD flies, &C., and their
larvae are called bots in horses, maggots in
the heads of sheep, and wornils in the backs
OF cattle. There is another fly in this sec.
ton, the tabani, also known as the CAD fly,
that bites horses and cattle, sucking their
blood, and from this cause cattle and some.
times horses seem alarmed at the species
which only hover around them to deposit
their eggs, though they are really incapable
of biting or singing in any manner.
The sheep bot fly, Gstrus Ovis, which il
found all over the Northern States, has Q
wonderful history. They are of a genera
ash color, spotted with black, with darker
bands than some other flies of this class

The PARTISAN PREss.-Judge Brown,
of the Seattle Dispatch, indites long
essay upon this subject, in which he
condemns partisan newspapers in un-
measured terms. He affirms that &c the
idea of spoils being the sole incentive to
political action, that no amount of facts
tothe contrary has any weight with the
partisan editor" If Mr.. Brown could
obliterate his .thirty-years' record as
conductor of the most ultra Of partisan
journals, his structures would be re-
ceived by the public with a better grace.
He has been riding hobbies his whole
lifetime. and the last he has bestrode

OLYMPIA, SATURDAY MORNING DEC, ). 1914
THE TEMPEST sTILLED.

In the last issue of the STANDARD we
exposed the political dodge of the o.
fce-holde,s, through which, by making
public necessity the apparent incentive,
they hoped to gain friend at court in
the person of their newly elected Dele
gate, Orange Jacobs, and to supplant
Judge McFadden and rob him of the
just honors due to his indefatigablc
industry and the commanding influence
he enjoys as representative of the
people at Washington. But the best
laid schemes sometimes fail, when the
objects are proven to be unworthy, and
in this instance, soon as the people dis
covered the controlling motives of the
leading spirits which actuated the ad-
iourned meeting, they were not slow in
denouncing the proceedings as irregular
and unjust. A written protest circu-
listed for q L y hours obtained over
hundred signatures, and it was designed
to hold public meeting whereby their
views could find expression, until sub
ssqusnt events rendered such course
unnecessary.
Instead of addressing a telegram Of
inquiry to Judge McFadden, to ascer-
tain whether he would be able to present
the petition to the Postmaster General,
the committee appeared willing to as
sumo his continued illness as matter
Of fact. Had any intmation been given
OF the probable report of the COM
mittee or Of the subsequent action of
the meeting, the information would
have been obtained whereby they could
have acted inteligibly and to the sat
isfaction of the whole people. As this
was not done the committee on cor
respondence and finance" must sus-
pend their labors, OF avow the real OBJ
jects which prompted the whole move
ment. ...
A telegram addressed to Judge Nc
Fadden ON the 9th ult. was as follows:
To JUICE MoFApDEN. Monongahela, Pa:
Will your physical condition permit You to
proceed to Washington and present memorial
ct people in reference to mail matters Tele-
graph reply. ... JSo. p. JuDsoN.

was received e .~AtlA-.ft {. -

q. -.y'tbofI - -,lig o. b. McFADDES.
Il will be seen that there is not the
most remote excuse for the movement
to send Jacobs to Washington, much
less for asking the people to defray the
expenses of his political pilgrimage out
of their own pockets. ......
