Spanish Living and Diving.

The Spanish father is absolute king
and lord by his own hearthstone but his
sway is so mild that it is hardly felt. A
light word between husband and wives

rift between them widens through lie,

incur the scandal of public separation

In adjoining apartments, both thinking

If men were never hen pecked except
by learned wifes, Spain would be tie
place of all others for tjmid men to marry
in. The girls are bright and vivacious
but they have never crossed, even in
school day excursion, the border line of
the ologies. They have an old provsrb
which coarsely conveys this idea: That
"a Christian woman in good society
ought not to know anything beyond her
cookery book and missal" An ordinary
Spaniard is sick but once in his life, and
the old traditions which represent the
doctor and death as always hunting in
couples still survive in Spain. In all
well-to-do families the house of death is
always deserted Immediately after the
funeral, and the stricken ones retire and

The use of salt in the care of farm

A correspondent wishes to know the
origin and way to prevent MARBLES get
ting IN the backs of cattle. The eggs
which produce this MARBLE are laid by q
large and beautiful CAD fly, on the back
OF csttle, in August and September.
They are scientifically called gstrats BOUis
&nd are much larger than the horse bot
fly. The latter flies lay their eggs on
the hair of the horse, while the cattle
CAD flies deposit their eggs in the skin, by
the means of a sharp instrument, which
causes great pain to the cattle. making
them run and below ABOUT the pasture,
at this season of the year they are still
IN the cattle's back, but will work their
way out in June and July, and fall to
the ground in q chrysalis state, where. in
about forty or fifty days, it comes forth
a beautiful bot-fy. Cattle owners can,
by moving their hands along the cattle's
back feel the punches caused by these
MARBLES. With the fingers they can be
squeezed out and destroyed, which all
farmers should attend to, as no cattle
can thrive with them. It is difficult to
prevent them from being deposited in
the cattle, as the eggs are placed under
the skin and can no mere be found OF
removed until they assume size enough
to be late. They can be found and re-
moved in the winter or spring. They
