 When it takes the form of disease of the kidneys or bladder, is task well nigh impossible of accomplishment. Renal and vesical maladies are more obstinate than any others. Counter act, therefore, the earliest indications of inactivity of the many organs with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which possesses, among other excellent qual- ities, those of an efficient diuretic. The degree of stimulation apparent from its use reaches, but never goes beyond the bounds of safety. It invig- crates, always, never irritates. Bright's disease, diabetes, catarrh of the blad- der, are diseases successfully combatted in their incipiency with this benign medical stimulant and tonic. Besides reinforcing and regulating the kid neys and bladder, the Bitters is spe- cifc for fever and ague, constipation and dyspepsia.

the most profitable
A sPRINKL1NG of coal ashes under the
roosts can be given with benefit when
they can be readily had.
By keeping in good condition now the
fowls that are to be wintered over, 1t
will cost less to winter them
AN air space between the walls will
add considerably to the warmth of the
house; in building or repairing for win
ter this should be remembered.
The most profitable ducks are those OF
the larger breeds, and they, If prop
erly managed, can be made to return q
good per cent. on the money invested.
By this time all the poultry should be
trained to roost IN the house. There u
always an increased risk of loss when
they are allowed to roost outside, while
the fowls will be much less uncomfort
able.
A BUNDLE Of wheat or oats and head
or two Of sorghum seed, hung up in the
poultry house, put high enough to COM

THE FARMING WORLD,

Its Appearance. Spread, Popular Errors,
Life, History ana Remedies. s: 81
The Division Of Entomology of the
United States Department Of Agricult-
ure has just published full descrip-
ton OF the habits and life Of the horn
fly (Hsm atobia aerratu) in Insect Life,
from which the following is CLEANED: s.
1t was first noticed in 1887 in Cam
den, n. J. In 1883 it was found in
Maryland, and the next year it had
spread rapidly in that State and Vir-
ginia- The study as to its origin is not
advanced far enough to draw a definite
conclusion, but what is known seems
Ito indicate that it is South European
species" Other names in use in some
sections are "Texas Fly" Buffalo
Fly" Buffalo Gnat" and .'sCow-horn
Fly;" but the popular name here
adopted, "Horn Fly" has the sanction
OF common usage. &. - 49,, ~ "
The most prominent Of the popular
errors Is the belief that the fly damages
the horn, eats into its substance, causes
it to rot and even lays eggs in it which
hatch into maggots and may penetrate

upon which it had been wound and al

appelation degenerated, after lapse of

and postal card-a foreign postal card
for her other ledger, Miss Mercy
Num-. Perhaps Miss Num- herself was
wee bit to blame for going off. as she did,
away ,''up country" all of sudden, for
II she'd been there Curiosity would have
been satisfied at once and gone his way
In peace. But Miss Num- was not there,
while Curiosity was-and the postal
card.
The address Widow Pimlott found,
after obeying Curiosity's command to
look at it, was written in queer, crab
bed, wriggling sort of script. Some of
the letters took upon themselves airs
and scared loftily above even the loops
OF their taller fellows, and if the letter
carrier hadn't told the good landlady
that the postal card acds for Miss Num-
she'd never have guessed it; but, since
she had been told, it all looked as 'splain
as day"
Beyond the clicking, shining needles
that fought fierce duels over and under
the ever-interfering thread of honest
gray yarn that was slowly allowing
itself to be fashioned into thick,
warm foot-covering for her other
ledger, MIR. Nicholas Newcomb, Widow
Pimlott did not allow her eyes to rove.
Curiosity still perched there, impishly
intent upon making his victim obey his
mandates and avail herself of this one
good opportunity of obtaining ipfor-
nation without any one being the
wiser. His was, at first, hard and
seemingly useless task; but he knew
his own great power and his victims
weakness, and so sat at his ease close
beside the modest little pile of mail
matter, until a sudden gust blew down
the chimney, laughed at his lack of en-
terprise and blew the card straight
into the lap of the Widow Pimlott!
Miss Nunn's landlady carefully ad-
justed her glasses afresh, and, tacit1y
accepting this breezy invitation to avail
herself of that for which her soul
thirsted, began slowly and :laboredly to
decipher the miserable script 1t is to
be hoped that curiosity was satisfied by
what followed, for small shrek ema-
mated from the Widow Pimlott's lips as
that lady, in spelling out the message,
read as follows:
''Died at Catamarca, South America,
OA CI0 1@IA 4uSG., VI COuSuulpGlOn, your
uncle, Nebuchadnezzar Num-, the mill
ionaire."
1t was difficult to read, but she read:
1t; it was hard to understand, but she
understood it; and it was her very in
significance hitherto, when put in the
balance with her sudden new and great
Importance, that caused the little ledger
to rise high in the scale of her landlady's
favor. The Widow Pimlotts heart was
filled to overhowing with pleasant an
ticipations, sudden affection and long
ing for the poor, little, hard-working

The characteristic habit of clustering
about the base of the horn (shown heres
with) seems to exist only when the flies
are quite abundant. When they average
only hundred or so to single animal
comparatively few will be found on the
horns. Moreover, as a general thing,
the horn-clustering habit seems to be
more predominant earlier in the season
than later, though the flies may seem to
be nearly as numerous. The clustering
upon the horns, although it has excited
considerable alarm, is not productive of
the slightest harm to the animal. They
usually settle thickly near the base Of
the horn, after forming complete band
for two inches or more. They seem to
prefer the concave to the convex curve
Of the horn, probably for the reason that
the cow can not scrape them off Sc
readily.-Orange County Farmer.

words fall upon poor old Nick's ears:

It is oyer. His dream is ended; the
golden glory fades from the horizon of
his hopes; the dead sea fruit of his am
billions lies scattered upon the barren
soil, and he heeds not that the soft
voice goes on in explanation. The only
explanation that can affect him has been

Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not a snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A paniph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
receipt of three cents in stamps to pay
postage by A. II. Dixon & Son, cor. of John
and King Street, Toronto, Canada--Chzts-

to the brain. There is no fou ndation
for these beliefs, as the flies congregate
on the bases of the horns only to rest
where they are not liable to be disturbed.
Where they have been clustering thickly
on the horns the latter become fly
specked" and appear at little distance
as though they might be damaged, and
it is doubtless this fact which has given
rise to erroneous opinions cited.
The flies lay their eggs during the
warmer part of the day, between nine a.
m. and four p. M, and mainly between
nine and noon, in the dung of the ami
mails as soon as it is dropped. The eggs
are laid singly, never in clusters. In
less than twenty-four hours the larv@
are Matched and descend into the dung,
remaining, however, near its surface.
When ready to change into pupa the
larve evidently descend from the dung
into the ground below, from half to
three-fourths of an inch. Actual OBJ
servations were made on larvae in dung
in breeding cages. where the soil was
find sand, affording ready entrance to
the larvae. Where the dung has been
dropped upon hard ground, the probable
tiles are that they do not enter so deep
~, and may indeed transform upon the
surface of the soil at the bottom of the
dung. In from ten to seventeen days, or
on an average two weeks from the time
the egg is laid, the perfect fly energies,
and as there are four active breeding
months MAY Is to September 15) there
are therefore eight generations in
year.
The flies seem to appear in greatest
abundance in July and remain until
''rignt cold weather." Careful study of
the insects in the field show that they
assume two characteristic positions, one
while feeding and the other while rest
ing. 1t is the resting position illus
trated herewith) in which they are al
ways found when upon the horns. In
this posi- ton the wings are held nearly
flat down the back, overlapping at base
and diverging only moderately at tip.
The beak is held in nearly horizontal
spread. In the active sucking position,
however, the wings are slightly elevated
and held out from the body at about an
angle of sixty degrees from the abdomen.
The legs are spread out widely, and the
beak, inserted beneath the skin of the
animal, is held in nearly perpendicu-
lar position. The fly, before inserting
it's beak, has worked it's way through
the hair close to the skin.
While feeding, however, the hairs
which can be seen over its body do not
