A vigorous protest has been raised to the
bill reorganizing the Church of England that
has just been passed by the House of Lords.
The bill is regarded by many as the first step
toward the disestablishment Of the church.
It attacks ritualism. and il it does not result
in a severing Of the bonds between Church
and State, will certainly cause a rupture be-
tween the High and Low Church.

possession, during which some of the
eggs. will be broken. A sitting hen
should be provided with o quiet place,
where nothing will melost her during the
period of incubation, and where she will
be comfortable during coldweather. We
have known hens to forsake their nests
when they had been sitting a week or
more.
LAZY FARMERS. -Iaz1ness prevents a
man from getting off his horse to put on
the first rail that gets knocked off the
fence, and through his lazy neglect a
whole field of corn is seriously damaged.
Laziness keeps a man from driving one
nail when one would do, and finally costs
a carpenters bill for extensive repairs.
Laziness allows a gate off the hinges to
lie in the mud, Or stand propped up by
nails-or a stable or a barn to leak and
damage hundreds of dollars worth of
p%rovender. Laziness, in short, is the
right and proper name for nine-tenthsof
excuses given for bad farming. But far
the most prolific of the many wastes
that are due to laziness is the waste of
ignorance.
DISEASE IN PIGs.-Cough is common
in young pigs, where they are not pre-
vided with dry, clean, comfortable
quarters, and are not exposed to damp
ness or rains. The best remedy is to
obviate these defects, by purifying
their sleeping apartments, sheltering,
and making them clean and comforta-
BILE. Succulent food, tending to open
the pores, will contribute gradually tow
ard a cure. Good nursing is the best
remedy but if the cough is attended
with c~ostiveness, it may be well to mix
with the daily food of each animal a tea
spoonful of EPSON of Rochelle salts for
a three months pig, and less or more
as it may be younger or older.
FLIEs.-A hundred or more remedies
have been given to keep flies from an
noying horses, but the right one has
not been found yet, unless Rochard, a
French veterinary surgeon, has hit it.
His method consists of painting the in
side of the ears, or any other part
especially troubled, with a few drops of
empyreumatic oil of juniper. 1t is said
that the odor of this substance is unen-
durable to flies, and that they will keep
at a distance from the parts so anoint-
ed. If this treatment should accomp-
lish the alleged result, it may perhaps
be equally applicable in repelling mos
quitoes from the face and hands of tour
lists and sportsmen, when passing
through woods or meadows.
ScRArcHEs.-Having recently become
acquainted with a new remedy for this
and all other diseases of domestic ami
mails that require an external appIica-
ton, and having tested it in scratches,
infamed eyes, bruises and sprains, 1
feel that I cannot do your readers a
greater service than by calling their
attention to this new and very valuable
remedy. I allude to cosmoline. 1t is
the emollient principle of petroleum,
and is far superior, as an external ap-
plication, to any ointment or linirent L
have ever tried. 1t is equally good for
cuts and wounds, and is, in short. of
universal application. Calls are rapid
ly healed by its use, and for all hoot
diseases it is invaluable -Coy. Rural

says: Reports of the condition of the crops
at stations along the lines Of the Michigan
Southern and Chicago and North western rail-
roads are published in this mornings issue.
The prospects for all grains in Indiana and
Michigan are excellent, but in Ohio wheat is
in bad condition, varying from one-third to
two-thirds OF a crop. There is not more than
two-thirds Of the average yield of hay in any
of these States. Fruits are doing remarkably
well. Returns from the country traversed by
the Northwestern road in Wisconsin, Iowa and
Illinois are to the effect that the acreage Of
grain is large, the prospects better than for
many years past. and the amount on hand at
the stations small"
An indianapolis dispatch Of July l says {:
" The most favorable news comes from all
parts Of Indiana in regard to growing crops.
Wheat will be much beyond an average in
quality and quantity, and tine corn looks
splendidly."

moved by the letter of Theodore Triton re-
garding his alleged misdemeanors. In a corr

saying anything in reply to the recent state
ments. He had a large passionate under MS

versies. II. however, the examiners OF
Plymouth Church should decide that it would
be well for him to speak out in regard to the
recent letter. he would do so without hesita-
ton. His friends are confident that he Will
come out Of the affair with flying colors.
The Acknowledgement of Iowa holds that
the validity Of the Railroad law in that State
is not at all affected by the failure of the COM
panies to furnish the information required for
their classification. His argument is that the
law makes it imperative upon the Executive
Council to classify the roads and that, if the
corporations have failed to file reports giving
information to aid in the discharge Of this
duty. the Council must have recourse to other
sources. 1t would be a very strange coIidl-
ton of affairs, SAWS the Acknowledgement, If a
person should be allowed to plead his OWL de-

should not be enforced againss him.
