On a wet year cattle lose heavily on
account of the ravages of the screw.
worm. The screw-worm fly is twice the
size of the ordinary house-hy, and blue
in color. 1t deposits its eggs while on
the wing on a spot of blood, or scratch
or wound of any kind which it finds on
a live animal. The eggs soon change to
screw-worms, thousands of which bur
row into the flesh, causing terrible suf-
fering and death.
Mosquitoes are troublesome II the
southern part of Texas. A man who
has lived in Texas fifty years informed
the writer that he saw man on
horseback, and he could not tell the
color Of the horse or of the man coat,
SO thickly were they covered with
mosquitoes.
The red ant of Texas is capable OF
singing as badly as a wasp. 1t raises
its hill two feet in height. 1t is in
the form of cone, and the entrance is
at the apex. Roads radiate from an
ant-hill in every direction, which are
well travelled by their builders The
outgoing ants have no load, but those
coming back may be always seen to
have burden, which is added to the
stores underground. After a heavy
rain the ants bring the store of seeds to
the surface and spread them on the
ground to dry. When dry they are
stored again. In the spring the ants
may be seen busily planting their SUI
periluous seeds. This they accomplish
by placing the seeds on the ground and
covering them with particles of earth.
Like good farmers. the ants are careful
to collect their crop when ripe.-Jay

Dangers Of III II Feeding.

Laying fowls must be provided with
fresh d ink duly and light diet for the
morning feed. The evils of heavy
feeding begin to crop out at this season
with pullets, and older ones manifest
the weakness later rs they come into
laying. Then complaints are heard of
such diseases as cholera, ETC., when in
reality the fault lies in the previous
feed ng. O;tentimes there are COM
plants Of find ng the fowls dead under
the roOst: sometimes with full, SINE
times with empty crops. At the same
time the keeper does not know whether
the BIRDS went up to roost the night be-
fore, or even for several nights before.
He only knows that he has fed well,
given corn in undance, perhaps sup
piled drink each day. perhaps MT. The
fowls may have had to obtain water
either at the farm-vard water trough or
by eating snow. This sort of poultry
keeping among our farmers has been
too common in former DAYS, but l am
glad to be abe to think it has become
the exception.
Heavy feeding of corn alone will not
answer Its evil effect will be seen
sooner or later. Some may endure it
q: d come out all right in the spring.
but half the profit is gone. There have
of the important items in the keep
of fowls at the present day. Even
though the fowls may be comfortably
housed and cared for. yet they may be
too crowded and fed too high. Fowls
require change of feed often, and con-
siderable coarse bulky food. There is
q difference also in breed, but all NAV
be forced to an excessively fat condi-
ton, which S always injurious, especial
ly W tn yotRg fowls that should
be urged into laying at as early
an age as possible after COM
pleting growth. The large, or Asiatic
fowls in particular. after fully grown
AMI matured, should have the rations
OF corn st nted. and be fed largely on
coarse. bulky feed. such rs mOistened
bran, wheat screenings, corn meal
ground with the cob, etc, so ira. they
may not gorge themselves with rich and
fat-producing food, unless it is desired
to ia. ten them for market. Plenty of
and animal food is necessary
to promote health, when the fowls will
generally produce eggs.
Among the evils of heavy winter
feeding. is tie weakening of the egg
organs. In some cases the ovaries are
entirely destroyed. and many times so
weakened as to be unable 10 perform
their function, caused by being loaded
with fat in toe earlier portion of the
season. For this there is prevention.
but no remedy.-Country Gentleman.

Henry Clay's Last Visit to the House.

Henry Claws last visit to the House
of Representatives, over which he had
presided so long and so we'll, was at the
funeral of Mr.. kaufman, of Texas, in
February, 1851. He did not come in
with Senators. bu: he entered the House
alone and took his seat immed ately in
front of the Speaker. He did not re-
move his blue cloth cloak. but named
well wrap ed up and unvarying in his
position. l had never before seen him
look so much like an old, old man. The
damp and gloomy day perhaps con-
spired with the passing scene to dcpress
him. or it may be that he was not in
health. / do not know. but sure | am
that from his appearance no one would
believe his voice could be even audible
in the Senate, much less that, by the
power of his eloquence, he could con-
troll or influence its deliberations. His
face shrunken and shriveled. his ewes
lusterless and heavf. his mouth in re-
pose only when open and cxpress;onless,
he seemed to have so long since passed
into tie lean and slippered panta-
loon as to be no longer suited to the
ardent encounters of the Senate. And
yet, with few RAYS of sunshine upon
bis brow and upon his heart. how he
could be nself again, old only in
years.-Ben: Ptrley Pore.

Our Feeding system.

We unjust get our feeding system dos
20 finer point in this country. We
Fan not expect to make live stock profit
able while we persist in feeding at ram
dom. We have had something to say
in recent numbers about the profit-de-
stroying practice, as rule. of fattening
hogs at too early an age. Now we are
aware that those who follow that
practice are Just as firm in their belief
that that is the more profitable course
to pursue as we are in the belief that it
is disastrOusly destructive of profits.
We judge by general observation and
experience and general results. We do
not pretend to have conducted any close
experiments to show the difference be-
tween the two systems. But we do
know that so far as our observation has
extended early fatteners have never
made the money that late fatteners have
made, if they are fed intelligently. But
it is q matter that can be settled with
reasonable certainty and ought to be.
1t is every swine-breeder's duty to him.
self to settle it. and it can be done liz
five years at the fu thest unless there
should be some cause for very hi h
price OF pork at one time, and very
low price at another, or unless the ex-
periments are interfered with by
disease. the late fattener has this adj
vantage over the other side. All
the time his hogs are on grass the cost
is so little that it is unnecessary for him
to take it into considers ion at all. But
the early fattener is at expense all the
time, without interruption, and it is cer-
tainly his duty 10 know precisely what
that expense is. He must force. What
does it cost 20 force? Have any of us
any definite idea! Probably not, and
this is the wa the profits may slip
through our hands. With our cows,
swine, sheep, and with all our other
animals we ought to know what thew
are costing us. We saw pen of ten
hogs once that we think would have
weighed ten thousand pounds. That
was their estimated weight, and that
pen of hogs was a show that drew the
multitude. The owner was proud OF
them. and they, of course, brought him
a handsome sum of money. He not
unlikely went about telling how much
money he made on hogs. But did he
make any? We will venture to say that
he was utterly unable to show ANYBODY
that he did. His aim was to produce a
monstrous hog. and probably had not
the faintest idea what it had cost him to
do it. This is not close business prac-
tice. The receipts are not the lrst side
Of the ledger to look at. What have
we expended? is the first question.
That ascerta;ned. then what have been
our receipts? Then we will find what
the profits have been.--H estcrn RuTdl.

Troublesome Insects ut the South.

Many insects may be found in the
South which do not exist in Northern
States. In Texas the chiqua, or red
bug. may be found in large numbers.
They are very minute in size, and one
must be possessed OF very good sight to
see them without the aid of a micro
scope. They are considered worse
pest than mosquitoes. They burrow
into the skin and cause an intOlerable
itching. They are found mostly in de-
cayed wood and on the grass.
The tarantula is large spider, which
covers a space nearly as large as
ones hand. The legs of full grown
ones are nearly as large as pipe-stems.
The body of the insect is about an inch
and half in length. Its fangs are 3
quarter Of an inch in length. Its bite is
very poisonous. 1t can Jump to a great
height. have seen them on the backs
of sheep, where they jump to save them
selves from being trodden upon.
The centipede is generally found to
be from eight to fourteen inches in
length. 1t resembles the thousand
legged worm of the North, except that
it is flat, and its lers are tipped with
black; the remainder of its body is yell
low. This insect is feared more in
Texas than any other. Each foot OF the
insect is armed with sting. A per-on

There is wasp in Texas which at

houses. ct :. 1t deposits its eggs in the
cells and then fills them with spiders.
which it paralyzes by singing, and
then closes the coils. The eggs
hatch out and the young wasps feed on
the imprisoned spiders until grown.
The spiders live for long time with the
power OF movement destroyed by the
wasp's sting.
The singing lizard is a reptile which
resembles ne scorpion in shape. but is
smaller. and o. . yellow color. Its sting
% more severe than that Of the wasp.

First Aid to the Injured.

l. Bites of all sorts are painful. and II
not treated with expedition and skill
they sometimes prove very dangerous.
The most common kinds are those re-
ceived from dogs, mosquitoes and hears.
The rarest kinds SSe trilobites and ia
cobites.
2. One seldom, If ever. gets bite
when out fishing.
3. If about to be bitten BY : dog,
while serenading or foraying in q mel
on-patch, Immediately take some violent
exercise in order to preserve good cir
culation. For instance, run q mile or
50 without stopping.
4. Never stop running because there
is man with q club apparently chasing
the dog; sometimes he is encouraging
him.
5. If this does not accelerate the ac-
ton of the heart climb the nearest tree.
6. Don't get down again for the pur-
pose of rescuing the sample of Your
trousers. This is one OF the dogs per-
quisites, and he wants it for his scrap
bOOs.
Z. When a mosquito begins to bite
don't slap him. Some author. ties insist
that you should let him finish, and then
offer him toothpick and an sfter-din-
ner cigar.
8. The above rule applies strictly to
mosquitoes, and must not be extended
to include dogs or bears.
9. On suddenly entering the parlor.
where the mistletoe hangs, you may
surprise young man apparently in the
act of biting a young lady on the cheek.
The symptoms which follow this gen.
orally include violent blnshing and =
tendency to talk about the Weat her.
The most popular remedy is a solitaire
ring applied TO the third finger of the
