AUGUST.
THE SHEEP GRUB.

During the hot days OF mid sum-
mer, sheep often huddle togather
with their noses upon the ground,
or in some other constrained posi-
ton. This is done, partly at least,
to secure them from the attacks
of the prestering Gladly (Estrls
ovis), which is the parent of the an
noying Grub in the-head. This in
sect Is closely related to the dot
fly, that deposits its eggs upon
the neck, shoulders, and forelegs of
horses, from which they are re-
moved by the teeth of the animal,
to allay the itching, and are taken
into the stomach, and develop in
to the troublesome dots. The fe-
male sheep gad.hy aims to deposit
her eggs in the nostrils OF the sheep,
and the animals, apparently aware
of the effects to follow, try to pre-
vent it. If the eggs are laid, they
soon hatch, and the young grubs
ascend the nostrils, greatly to the
distress Of the affected sheep. The
aworms'' attach themselves to the
sinuses of the nose, By means OF
hooks like those OF the horse dot,
and live upon the mucus secretions
of the irritated surface to which
they cling. When fully grown,
the grubs work their way down
through the narrow openings, by
which they entered when first
Matched, and again cause the sheep
much pain. The grubs fall to the
ground, and burrowing for few
inches, become chrysalids, which
develop into the perfect flies in
about two months. The grubs
pass from the sheep in early sum-
mer, and the flies come out of the
ground from July to September.
a daub of tar upon the nose is the
best preventive, and should be
frequently applied during the sum.
mer months. This may be done by
sprinkling some meal or salt over
the tar in a trough, when the sheep
viii apply it themselves as they eat
the meal. Some farmers plow fur.
rows in the pasture, to furnish the
sheep good place to bury their
noes. The sheep grab is not fatal,
but very disagreeable, and doubt
less has a bad effect on the general
health OF infected sheep. If any
one desies to study the grubs, ne
may find them in many OF the heads
of sheep killed at the shambles.

THE STRONGEST MAN ON
EARTH.

George Jagendorfer is probably
the strongest man in the world. He
is of medium height, but of more
than proportionate breadth and
depth of chest. His forearm is
bigger than the calf OF an ordinary
mans leg, measuring fifteen and
one-half inches, and the muscle
near the shoulder is eighteen and
one-half inches in circumference.
His legs are also muscularly de-
yeloped, and sometimes he lies
prone on his back and plays spor-
tivelv with 20O.pound balls, which
he tosses about much as ordinary
men would toss balls of the same
size made of india rubber. His
afnger-liff f'-meaning lift by the.
second finger of the right hand-is
$50 pounds. 1t is q cannon that
he lifts by ring and holds while it
is fired of. His shoulder-lift is a
horse the last weighed 960pouudsl
which is a test of plain strength
such as has never been seen before,

one of pure strength, without any

dorfer exercises with dumbbells he
"puts up 250-pounders, and juggles
in the air with 100 or 150.pounders,
much as the ordinary gymnast
handles five and ten-pounders. He

of the pole, and one on his shoul-
der, and can resist the pulling

SPARE THE TOADS.

There is no better abused, and
probably no more useful creature in

the toad. That apt SMILE, like

story of bis wrongs. And now
that our harrows are armed with
steel teeth, and are supplemented
with clod crushers and cultivators
of various types for comminuting
the soil, the sorrows of the toad
are intensified, and he is threatened
with extinction in all cultivated

as useful in his place as the imple-
ments of tillage you drive over his
back so thoughtlessly.
The jewel IN bis head is not

ach, that always has room in

that destroys the food of man.

mics, and you will have a better
appreciation of his work, and Of
his place in good husbandry. If
your garden is without toads, you
can afford to purchase them for
stock. They will pay good divi-
dends, as surely as superphosphate.

An Odions Gomnarisnn.

Foxes and lawyers have so long been asso-
ciated in the public mind that every lawyer is
supposed to be the incarnation of that unscru-
pulous animal. There was n.ver a greater
error. Except, perhaps, the editorial, there is
no profession that contains more dull asses
than are to be found among the men who live
by the law. A pompous manner and heavy
voice, with few other equally tremendous
accomplishments, have great effect on the
vulgar, and when added to the title of attor-
ney at law. they may sway village city, or
even a nation. Eeynard would feel very
