j, Prof. G. ". Riley is of the opinion that al
most all cloven-footed animals, and many
of the herbiforous species, are Infested with
.dIpte1a ast,idac. He says: sf'iia
.Tllese are legless grubs which fall into
three categorics 1. Gastric, or those which
are swallowed by the animal infested, and
which live in the stomach in a bath of chyle.
D. GerYical,a or those which crawl up the
noslriIs and inhabit the frontal slnnses. 3.
Gutaneous, or those which dwell in tumors

VIZ or early state. OF two-Winged flies (dip-
tera) belong to the family oet1idae, %cllarac-
terized by having the mouth parts entirely
obsolete, and popularity called CAD flies or
bot'hies.1 In the first series OF which the
horse bot (gastrophilas cqai) is the most ia
miliar example, the eggs are attached by
the female fly to the hairs of the body, and
principally on those parts of the body with
in easy reach OF the animals mouth. The
egg opens With a lid, and the young mag
got, upon Matching, clings to the tongue as
the animal licks itself, and is thus carried
into the tore4stomach, Ito which lit holds te-
naciously by q series of spines around the
body, but principally by a pair of sharp
hooks at the head. When fully grown, they
leave their post with the faces, uburrow in
the ground and undergo the final transfor-
nation. In the second kind, of which the
sheep bot (~aestfus oris) will serve as an ex-
ample, the egg generally matches within the
body of the parent, and the young grub is
deposited alive on the shiny nostrils of its
victim. aa554.,a .,q

HORSE FEEL.

q L AASAs1A
Every good groom knows That sound
oats and beans and peas i'll due proportion,
and at least 4 year old, are the very best
food for. a galloping horse-the only food
on which it's possible to get the very best
condition out a race horse or a, hunter. 1t
also has, recently become known that horses
do slow work and get fat, indeed too fat, on
maize. Indian corn, which is frequently
one-third cheaper than the best oats. In
the, east, horses are fed Oh barley, and it's
n popular idea with English officers who
have lived in Persia and Syria that the
change of food from BARLEY to oats, often,
when imported. produces blindness in Ara
bian horses. Now, although no men I'M
.lerstand better orsoswell how to get blood
lorsesinto galloping condition as English
eroorns, they do not, and eWof their mas
tiers do know the reason why oats and beans
are the best food for putting muscular flesh
on a horse. The agricultural chemist steps
in here. makes the matter very plain, and
shows that if you want pace, Indian corn,
although nominally cheaper, is not cheap at
all. When we feed Il bullock, a sheep, or a
pig for sale, after it has passed the store
stage, we want to make it fat as quickly
and as cheaply rs possible but With ahorse
for work the object is, give him muscle
in common language, hard flesh. There
are ti4neswleli it is profitable to make a
horse fat, las, for instance, when lie is going
up for sale. For this purpose AL addition
ofabout Il pound and Il half of Oil cake to
his ordinary food has a good effect. 1t is
especially useful when d horse that has
been closely clipped or silgea is in a low
condition. 1t helps Oh the change to the
new coat by making him fat. a horse in
low condition changes his coat very slowly
When from any cause there is difficulty in
getting a supply Of the best oats, an excel
lent mixture may be made OF crushed maize
and. beans, ia the proportion Of two-thirds
Of maize and one Of beans, which exactly
afford the proportions Of tlesh-forming and
fat-forming food. Bran is a very valuable
food in a stable for reducing the infamma-
tory effect of oats and beans. Made into
mashes it has u cooling and laxative effect,
but used in excess, especially in a dry state,
it is apt to form stony secretions in the bow
els. of The horse. Stones, produced troan the
excessive use of bran, have been taken out
horses after death weighing many pounds.

cion to his daughter. The latter ear
nestly denied the impuiation, and sol
emnly protested that her intimacy had
not exceeded that Of the strictest pro
miety. His suspicious were allayed,
subsequently they were again aroused,
and Miss Branch was sent to her sis-
ter. Mrs. Ferguson, at Charlottesville.
To this lady Ida made an equal posi-
tive denial, but her physical condition
was such that her father deemed q

clan. after an examinaiiJ N, confirmed
his suspicious. Notwithstanding this,

operation was found necessary. She
wus assured that the tumor wouh re-

operation might possibly save her life.
She readily consented requesting that
