In the death of Count Won Moltkc, the
veteran field marshal which occurred last
Friday. Germany loses one of its most
striking and historic figures, and a con
Meeting link between the Germany of
former days and the Germany of today.
Won Moltke was born in 1900, and was the
son of a Danish general. He entered the
military academy at Copenhagen and at
the age of 10 was given an official position
in the Danish army. Later he left the
service and entered upon course of train
ing i'm the army school at Berlin. His pro-
motion was slow, and he was b when he
became first lieutenant. From 1885 to
1889. by permission of his government. he
was employed by the sultan in improving
the Notifications of Turkish cities. He
was promoted through the various ranks
and on the appointment of William to the
regency in 1858 became a power and in
the years following was associated with
Bismark and Gen. Won Room in the form
alton of the vast plans of military reOrgani-
cation. He planned the campaign of the
lIolstein war in 1864, and showed his great
military genius in the Austro-Prussian war
of 1866. He was the directing power in
the French and Prussian war in 1870, act
ing as chief of the general staff of the EN-
tire German force, the cnet command
being assumed by the king in person. His
services were gratefully rewarded by the
German emperor. He was made a cOnnt,
received large pecuniary gratuities, was
appointed in 1871 general field marshal,
and in 1872 a life member of the Upper
House. The present emperor in August,
1888, placed him on the retired list nam
ing Gen. Won Wadersee as his successor.
The Springfield Republicans review of
his work is worthy of attention:

machine, and then the tremendous armies of Ger

long been preparing against her northern rival; he

of ~ years ago by means not alone of terrible
fighting, hut by mastery strategy which won
universal admiration. And this was fought when

Rlcnched Hair Is out.

The disappearance of bleached hair
goes on persistently and steadily. Ad-
vertisements of the specialists" in
turning hair of any shade to golden
hue have disappeared from the papers,
and many of the ''parlors'' which were
started for the purpose of giving New
York women the Titan red top which
Patti made fashionable for time have
disappeared The straw-colored locks
which were formerly looked upon as a
matter of course in public places are so
rare now that they excite comment. A
close observation of women shows that
many of them have reached the neutral
stage where their hair is turning by de-
grees to it's natural color. The prevail
ing shade is now dull and muddy yellow.
A writer whose opinions carry some
weight announced, few days since, in
the course of a review upon hair that
there was evidence that warm chest
nut brown" shade would be popular the
coming year. There is a general i'm
preston that the standard of female
beauty will be considered more lofty
that it is at present if fashion will LET
the hair of WON nlSind entirely alone

MARBLES ON CATTLE.
AsercurlaI Ointment Probably Is tho Most
Certain Remedy.

Aaercurial Ointment Probably Is tho Most
Certain Remedy.
AL who have anything to do with |
cattle know that at this time of the |
year there are large Jumps known as
MARBLES rising up along the back of
cattle. Nearly all know that inside of
these are large grubs that produce
these swellings, but there are few who
have not taken special pains to note
the effect of them on their stock that
realize how much injury they do. Not
only is it the hide that is injured when
we wish to sell that; but it is terribly
trying to the health of stock to have
from one to three hundred of these
large maggots with their rough priclSly
skin boring around in the flesh, irrita-
ting it till the warble becomes putrid
end filled with pus like a boil. We are
sick and suffer terribly from the effects
produced by a single boil on the body,
yet; because these poor dumb animals
cannot speak, they have to suffer from
these numerous fostering MARBLES for
several months annually.
Many do nothing to alleviate this
pain and suffering of their animals,
while others press the grubs out, along
late in the season when the maggot has
done about all the injury it can and is
ready to leave it's warble and enter the
| ground to pupate. Much good san be
done if the stockman will begin at once
on his stock and it will be money in
his pocket to relieve his stock, as they
will be healthier and in much more
thriving condition when spring opens.
Probably the most certain remedy to
be used is mercurial ointment. 1t should
be applied thoroughly to each warble
about once a week till the grubs have
all been killed. After the death of the
grub, the warble will soon subside and
heal.
While these grubs are in the warble
they have to breathe, and it is said that
lard or tar applied thoroughly will eff
fectually kill the grub by smothering it.
Whatever is done, do not let a grub
escape to grow to maturity and enter the
ground, for if allowed to do so, along
in June or July it will come forth as a
fly, and deposit eggs for another gen.
Grafton next winter.
Good authority says that the warble
fly seldom goes far from where 1T is
reared, and that localities where people
have killed all of them in the grub
state are almost entirely exempt from
them for several years thereafter.
Stabling stock in summer is OF
course an excellent thing to prevent
the fly from depositing eggs on the
stock; but, where one does not do this
and wishes to prevent the fly from de
posting the eggs, an excellent remedy
is a compound consisting of one quart
of whale oil soap, one gill of oil of tan
and four ounces of flowers of sulphur
Mix and apply with a brush along the
back once week through June, July
and August.-G. c. Davis, in Farm
Field and StoclSman.

The WEIGHT oF EGGS.


Interesting Figures Based on Scientific
Investigation.
The specific gravity of new-laid egg
varies from 1.OSO to 1000; an egg, there
fore. is heavier than sea water, the spe.
cifc gravity of which is 1.oSo. When
kept, oggs rapidly losea weight and be-
come specifically lighter than water
this is owing to the diminution in bulk
of the contents of the egg, the conse-
quencc of which is that a portion of the
inside of the egg comes to be filed with
air.
Prout kept an egg two years and
found that it lost weight daily at an
average rate of 0.744 grains. The
original weight was 9075 grains, and
after two years exposure to the atmos-
phere it weighed only 1852 grains.
The total loss amounted to 544.3 grains,
or considerably more than half the
original weight. The loss in summer
was somewhat greater than in winter,
owing, no doubt, to the difference of
temperature. When an egg is there
fore employed as a test of the strength
of brine, the newer it is the stronger is
the brine that floats it.
When an egg is boiled in water il
loses weight, particularly if it be re-
moved from the water when boiling
and be permitted to cool in the open
air. The water will be found to con-
tain portion of the saline constituents
of the egg The loss of weight from
boiling is not constant, varying from &c
to 80 grains, supposing the original
weight to have been 1000 grains.-

Fast walkers Needed.

There is more need of fast walkers
on the farms than there is of fast trot-
ters. In drawing a moving machine,
reaper, hay rake, plow, cultivator or
any farm machine horse seldom trots.
Here is where the fast walker is needed
and on the road, too, horse that will
take good walk up and down hill will
travel much faster than slow walker.
In training colt he should be started
off in a walk and kept at that until he
gets impatient and starts into a trot
Never allow colt to think that a walk
is a chance to rest. In driving double,
put the colt with fast walker or else
with horse that takes such slow
trot that the colt must walk fast to
keep up. A little careful training dur
ing the first few weeks that the colt is
in harness will make big difference in
his ability to accomplish work.-Farm
