Boris IN HoRsEs.-This trouble is
due to the maggots or grubs Of a fly
which tasten themselves upon the lin
ing OF the stomach and someJlmes that
of the inte stines of the horse. The fe-
male fly deposits her eggs simply upon
the hair Of the lower jaw, neck and
forward logs Of the horse. They hatch
In short time, and tho tickling sensa-
tion produced by the young grnb caus-
es the horse to lick the place, and thus
the grub passes into the horses mouth
and from thence into the stomach,
where they soon fasten themselves by
numerous minute hooks in rows upon
their white wrinkled bodies. After
about two months the bots pass from
the horse and bury themselves in the
dung and remain In the dormant puDa
state until the next season, when the
ny begins the round of trouble again.
The maggots irritate the coat OF the
stomach and cause the formation of
puss upon which they feed. A dose of
physic may help to dislodgo them, or
hasten the time Of their removal from
the animal.

NICE young man at church
fair recently took the place of a young
lady who was selling kisses at twenty
five cents apiece, and doing much to-
wards replenishing the church trea-
sury and promoting religion and so
forth. He said Leap Year sanctioned
the change. The only customers he
had during the next hour were two
old maids, one with a wart on her
nose, and the other Sans front teeth.
The nice young man thereupon raised
the price of his wares to $1,000 per kiss.
Some things can be done better than
others, but young mon are not the

BUILDINGS MADE OF CoNcRErR.-
Few farmers know how to build a con-
crete wall, yet 1t is very simple Job,
and In many cases would prove an ex-
cellent wall for buildings and cellars.
10 build such wall you need to set
5xi Jo1st at the corners, then at inter-
vais OF about eight feet along the out
side OF the wall, placing the joists on
posite and about eighteen inches apart.
On the inside Of the joist set up plank
about foot wide. There will be fifteen
INCHES between these pIanks, which
Will De the thickness Of the wall. For
large building, which would have
heaVy floor timbers, the wall might be
TWO teet thick; for a piggery or other
small buildings it need not be so thick.
Have cement made by mixing three
barrels Of fine plastering sand and four
barrels clean gravel. Wet this when
mixed so 1t will be thick enough TO
pour, and fill between the plauks, about
three inches deep, then in that pack
small stones as closely as possible-the
more closely the stones pack the less
cement 1t will take. Then pour on
more cement and put in more stones
until your space is full. The work
must be SO planned as to use your CO.
.ment and get the stones in it before It
has time to harden. For heavy wall
planks may be raised in twenty-fo
hours after the space is filled. Raise
them about ten inches and 90 on as be-
lore. we have seen barn built in that
way, Which has stood many years !;
costs about the same as timber wall
when built, and needs no paint, no
shingles, no repairs of any sort, while
the walls are tire-proof and rat-proof.

dency to throw the waters of streams
against their western banks sufficient
to produce quite marked effects in
many parts of the world. 1t is notice
able in large rivers where the deposits
are earthly, and the pitch of the water
is small and IN the direction of the

The best way of bringing the
merits of a mining property be-
fore the public, is throught the
medium of reliable paper, with
the corroborative evidence of
Journals and individuals locates j
in the neighborhood Of the
properties described. There is
every evidence that we are ap-
preaching the greatest stability
ever known in mining, and as
confidence is gradually restored,
we may expect an unprecedent-
ed amount Of capital to flow in
that direction. We may expect
to have fewer Mackeys, Fairs or
Floods in the future of mining,
but more widely diversified BEN
eft and the mercantile element
which has been frightened off in
its early stages, will return and
contribute to the development of
our vast mining territory. In
short, we are to have more min-
ing and less stock dealing, more
mines and fewer promOters.-
